So, I finally got tired of all my saws on the floor of the garage, under one bench, etc...gotta be a better way that takes up less space...
Did some searches...not much and not what I was looking for.
Then...found this first pic.
Hm, pretty simple...could make a bunch of those brackets out of scrap angle and 1' pipe...or scrap lumber...and hang them, uh...where?
I needed something that I could roll around that has a small footprint.
Some sketching for a day or so and came up with this.
Footprint is 20"x20" and is around 58" tall up on 2" wheels.
I still have room for another saw or two...more if I stick the smaller ones into the top board :p
At this height I can hang a 32" (28" on there now). I'll need to add a bit of an extension if I want to throw a 36" bar on the 661.

Chainsaw Jim has named it the "Chainsaw Lingerie Rack" LOL.
That cracked up my wife :p

Nice and inventive piece of wood structure there, I would consider to have the smaller and lighter saws on top though - something about center of gravity.

kinda hard to do hanging them...longer bar saw has to to up high :p I suppose the concept could be reversed with the PH at the bottom and the saw on some sort of slant on an inverted 'V' rack. No hanging involved, just need some sort of 'cradle' to hold the PH with the bar pointing up...hmm...

but, this thing is extremely stable as is.

Nah, need to be able to grab them easily.

Well, it seems that some of the saws don't like being in this position with much gas in the tank.
I used one of the 020s yesterday and then hung it back up...gas dropped out of the vented cap.
Different problem with the 50cc 346xp...I think the bulb full of has drained into the carb and then out...not much, maybe a teaspoon but it smelled pretty nasty when I went into the garage the next morning.
I experimented with setting the 346 with the bar up (inverted from before) and still had gas leakage so scratch that idea.

I have a few other ideas for modifying the rack... Have a couple of 8x8x14" blocks that I can mount in the base...then bore into with the short bar saws.
