    Woodland Pro breaker and spinner, and 14 sets of presets and tie straps. Now I just need a bench to mount them to!

    I had planned to make one, but I already had this:

    My grandfather built this and mostly used it as a mini-bar. Its in a poorly lit area of my basement, but its on wheels, so it will be moving into the main part as soon as I make a spot for it.

    Oh yeah, this came today too:

    Be careful with saws on a rolling cart. I killed a basically NOS (3 tanks through it) Homelite 540 that way.

    You can always mount your breaker and spinner on a board and clamp them in a vice.

    That sucks! These shelves are deep enough for the saws to slide all the way in - I just pulled them out for display. I actually think they're a lot safer in there, than on the narrow workbench I had them on before. I just can't leave the bars on and fit them all in there.

    I'm tickled with it. I'm doing more maintenance stuff, than servicing. For my needs, I don't think I could have designed a better chainsaw bench on purpose. It's got a laminate top, so any oil or gas will wipe right off. The top of the backsplash is at 43", so I can hang all my bars and chains on the side. I've had that vice for a year, and now I finally have the perfect place for it! It's chainsaw fate! :D

    Now we need a thread of making chains
    Thought many time about doing it.
    But going thru 1 chain every 2 years or so , never really needed to.

    Looks like fun ,
    Gonna sell a few ?

    I mounted mine on a 2x8 so I can move it out of the way and not take up space on top of a table

    I mounted mine on a 2 x 12" and screw it to the bench when needed. Since I will always use the pilot holes in the bench which is a 2" solid core door it is exactly in the same spot every time. Then I pounded a small brad nail in the end of the 2 x 12". I then made a mark on the bench on all the common # of driver links when pulling chain off the roll after hooking the chain on the brad.

    You can see one of the marks in this pic.
