Chainsaw storage

[Jusgunn3]

How do you guys store your saws? I don’t mean long term I mean where do you put them when they are not in use? I want to updater my situation here and remove these old warped shelves. There has to be a better way than this and I’d like to use this section on my barn for now. Thinking of hanging them maybe vs a shelf setup but open to suggestions, thanks!

I built myself a nice bench with overhead storage. I also hang some saws from the rafters on hooks.

That looks great, how deep is the top shelf and the bench?

Pretty nice set up

I used unistrut to hang saws from the ceiling. I had to devise hangers to suspend from the strut, but all the components are readily available.
For shelving, I used a staggered arrangement that allows up to a 24" bar to be visible without hogging too much space.

That’s great! What it the system for the shelving? Looks like a channel with some braces?

What’s up with all that clean bench space

It takes me 2 days to clean off my bench…tablesaw…to use it as a, uh, tablesaw, again…

But, only 10min to be back in chainsaw mode


My wife just looked at that pic and said…”staged”…

It's slotted shelf standards attached to the wall at every stud (16" on center), with 12 inch shelf brackets that hang in the slots. I cut grooves in the shelves for the brackets to set in; that stops side to side movement of the shelf.
This system is pretty flexible as far as placement of shelves is concerned. The shelves are 1"x12"x18" cedar.

I just use hooks to hang them from.

I’m in the same boat OP.

Tidy workshop pics always make me suspect that the photo shoot was the guy's project for the week.

Love the way you've done the lighting. That configuration has been filed away in my brain for future use (and I've downloaded the photos to remind me).

this has been a good thread, I showed my wife that my measely 6 saw collection is nothing compared to others, I also told her normal people dont collect shoes and boots. and I have never asked her how many pairs she has, and she shouldnt ask me specifics on the things I collect.

That reminds me I need to take a pic of my workbench, it is clean for a change

My wife has 8 sewing machines, I bought her seven of them...she doesn't complain about my collection of chainsaws

How many saws has she bought you?

None, she wouldn't know what to get. She just lets me keep getting them!!

Years ago, I patiently explained my very practical 3 saw plan to my wife. The five saw plan went over okay. Now she just laughs when the brown truck rolls up.

i always though a 3 saw plan involved a minimum of 5 saws.

It appears that the 3 saw plan automatically kicks CAD into gear with no hand brake or e-brake available....
