So back to the chainsaw build.
When we were at Tom’s yards, I saw a pile of hacksaw frames, walking around there was a lot of chain lengths scattered, hanging and laying about.
So I asked Tom how much for the one rusty frame…… “You can take it” he said after I told him the plan.
Next job was to find the right size chain, not easy. As they are mostly large link, or wire chains for animals.
But I found a short, damaged length. Asked Tom how much…… “That’ll be a Dollar to you” was his reply.
Back home, mid washed off them.
Into the workshop, in the sandblasting cabinet, cleaned the,links, then cut to size.
I chose not to weld it together, but just to tension it as a blade would be.
Given two coats of satin clear to retain the look.
Job done.
Gave it to Dennis when I got back, he loved it and hung it up in the gas station.
Perfect.
