    I have not had a chance to organize my bars and chains since I moved 7 months ago. I decided to remedy that this weekend as they were all stacked on my workbench. Started out by deciding where I wanted it and the rough dimensions.

    I then cut, drilled and affixed the stringers and added the bolts that hold the goods.

    Secured it so it would not fall.

    Then added some bars and chains.

    Still have about 300 chains in boxes, I think I will add a leg off the middle post to hold those.

    Looks good Gary. I like that you were able to get a lot into a small space.

    You most likely have more chains and bars than all the dealers in Lexington.......... combined.

    I called Central Equipment 3 weeks ago about a 20" bar for a 441 and they had 47 in stock.

    I would think 47 would be a lot even for a larger dealer in a larger city!
