Chain Saw Holder Scabbards

[GuglioLS]

My Wife and I cut firewood to keep warm by the fire in the winter.

We use the Jinma tractor and our ATV to climb a very steep hill on our property that gives us access to our forest. The woods is over grown and also has lots of dead down trees as well.

I use the Jinma to pull the trailer and my wife uses the ATV to get up the hill with all the saws, gas, oil, tools and refreshments.

Trouble was, we take 3 saws and there was no good room for them in the ATV trunk. When we had the trailer loaded up with wood there was no room in the trailer for the saws.

So this leads me up to how I solved the problem.

I took some 1/2" scrap plywood I had that was taking up room in my shop and cut it up to make these Chainsaw Scabbards.

Then I got the bright Idea as to, well why not make the scabbards a little table to set the saw on so I could gas & oil them up as well as tighten and sharpen the chain.

So rummaged around and found some old door hinges.

Here is the result:

Now that seems to work pretty good.

But then I have to figure out how to support the scabbard so that it can be turned into a table.

here is what I did:

If one works that good, then three of them would be even better. I also built a little box for the gas and oil while I was at it.



This project took about 4 hours total. And solved years of frustration and future spilled bar chain oil cleanup from inside the ATV trunk.

That's pretty slick!
