Id love to see what some of you other guys n gals do about storing and transporting saws.
What you do with collections, display them and all that jazz.
Im an over organised anal retentive mess maker.
Everything is a mess and there is stuff everywhere, bits for some half started job here and bits for a job that will never be finished over there. I go nuts cleaning up every now and again but things always seem to get missplaced along the way.
Got treated to a new saw a few years back, being the kind of guy that rarely gets anything new i thought i better do the right thing by my little McCulloch 2316av Hardware store special.
So i made a box up. An old door from the back porch that had been eaten half through by a dog, weathered and half fallen apart. A few random blocks of oregon and some short bits of some exotic Kiwi flooring. Some wood glue and a few thousand T nails in the little nail gun. Cut in some Handle holes at either end.
Never did get around to putting a lid on it. Never found a bit of ply that I thought would do the trick, needs to be strong enough so i can perch on the box and eat my lunch :wink2: Im not tight, Id lash out on a new length of SS piano hinge and some sort of internal latch.

Nothing gets lost (well the fuel tin did) and the saw lives all cosy in the box with all its associated bits (and a few spiders and a whole lot of dust).
Good thing if you have a saw that sees little to medium use.
Id say with a lot of use the box would get knocked around too much and fall to bits.
But you could do the same thing inside a metal tool box.
Im thinking of making up something similar for the Husky 66.
Then i can find a spot and stack the little mac box on the husky box.
Then maybe a box for the 051 but have it so it goes in with the bar off so the box isnt too long to handle and store.
I dont think the Pro Mac deserves a box.
Cheers, Bob.
