Ok i got bored yesterday.was getting tired of all of the stihl chain boxes floating around in my truck cab and bed.they would get mashed and the chains would be hanging out of the packs getting dirty.had a brain fart the other day on how to keep them clean,organized and protected.not only the chains themselves but my truck and everything else in it and i absolutely hate trying to flip those loops out of chains.being a handy man it got the gears grinding.kind of an expensive project but it kept my mind occupied for a while.plus it keeps me busy wondering on how to improve on it.right now this is just a basic container.problem is if i just put all my chains in they are going to get wadded up tangled up and full of loops.gonna work on the organization part next.believe i'll just use a piece of all thread thru the top horizontally just under the cap.the all thread will let me fix a removable handle to carry it by.may possibly switch the all thread for a 1/2" hitch pin of some sort.originally went thru mcmaster-carr but it got really expensive fast.lol
Done the same for loose file storage.just as an added measure to keep them from rusting just added a couple of dessicant cylinders from my excedrine Bottles.stuffed blue shop towels on top to add space since the tube is just over 12" and the files are 8". Gonna work on finding some dense foam to add top and bottom to poke the files thru to keep them from rubbing together.
Next im going to work on a 3" storage container for my files already in the guides and handles, my Timberline sharpener and raker files.gonna play with the 4" and 2" first.
