    Two chains in this section. They don't move around at all.

    There's room in there for my hearing protection and log tongs. I have them in a milk crate currently.

    I get them from an O/R tech . When they open a pack of them for an operation , they have to dispose of the used and unused ones .

    I did too, duct taped to hold them together. I didn't think about the sandwich container, wouldn't have to cut the dividers out.

    I keep 4 chains in my saw box. That covers 7 different saws. I have more hanging around if I take one out of the saw box. 20200220_153933.jpg 20200220_153947_001.jpg 20200220_153834.jpg 20200220_153849.jpg

    For sure. My mom would get bags full each shift while doing C-sections. Me and both brothers have lifetime supplies

    Not ideal, but I use a 5 gallon bucket for my supplies. As for chains, they hang on nails in the garage. When I go to cut I put one or two sharp chains on my weather Tech floor mat in the passenger side of the truck. When I get home I sharpen them and they go back on the nails.

    I guess so. I’ve threatened to try to be organized but I haven’t yet mustered the courage.
    I’ve worked with MikeInMa and he has it down to a science.

    99% of my cutting is local, so a quick ride back on the atv to grab a chain or bar and chain is sometimes a welcome break.
    I like these ideas though.

    Putting stuff back in its place, is the only way I can find things.
