Anyone make their own chains?

Is that a reels worth of 16" loops? Just ribbing ya.

Looks like about 2 reels worth of 20" bars.

Precisely!

I've made about 8 of different lengths in the last week. Good way to eat up a wasted afternoon.

Doesn't sound wasted to me .

An otherwise wasted afternoon I meant to say.

Was beer involved?

I kinda like making chains. Gives me /something/ to do that's saw/tree related, since I don't get as much of that as I like. I might have a different opinion if I were making chains for several crews, and I certainly wouldn't want to use my hammer/anvil method in that case, but those fancy breaker/spinners look gravy. Just chillout inside and make some chains.

It's pleasant work.

I like it most times. Cutting new is always fun if there is parts and so to do it.
Repairing old or odd chains can be frustrating as its hard to find parts for older chains..
