    Chain lockers made with hvbw, or tiger striped maple would be nice.

    If it’s the one we’ve seen before, it only holds up to 20”?

    Great idea.

    It would feel like an eternity trying to get those wing nuts off......at least for me. I can't stand over-length threads.

    Drill a small hole in the threaded end of the bolt.
    Install washer , followed by a compression spring then use a small hair-pin style clip to hold it all together.

    Its nicer when there are more chains on there.
    I did however, cut one down a bit....i don't unscrew both, just one, andnthat itls the one I shortened a little.
    If I had a way to make the nuts bigger, or go with heavier lag screws, they would be easier to manipulate with gloves on.
