That’s quite the chain collection Mark. FWIW I gave Mark 3 loops of 1/2” chain at Randy’s GTG thinking it would help out. Lol. I had no idea....

I moved this PM340 over this week after giving it a bit of a wipe down.
This one arrived today. I will give it some additional cleaning at some point, but for now it will do just as it is.
First example I have of scratcher chain.

I put this piece on display yesterday after cleaning it up a bit and fixing the starter. I expect it could be made to run but I have better options so up it will go.
I also took a look at these today. McCulloch 170 welder(s).
The dirty looking one on the left starts and runs very nicely, one day I will plug the cables in and see if I can strike and maintain an arc. The cleaner looking one will be on display in the museum as early as tomorrow.
Even though the production run for the welders was relatively short, there were some significant changes made. Look at the covers on the back of the welder/generator for example.
One unit has a Tillotson HL, the other has the same carburetor as the BP-1.
I also moved another batch of bars and chains over today.

I brought another lot of bars and chains over the other day as well.
If anyone out there has suggestions on how best to store/organize the bars so I can find one without having to dig through stacks and stacks I am all ears.

Now that I am beginning to understand just how much it will take to get this all set up the way I want it, I am shooting for mid April to coincide with the IA spring GTG in Chelsea so folks can make one trip of it.

Bars get stupid heavy quick. But you don't need to have them all on display, or hanging on a wall. Maybe stacks of 5 to 10 would be manageable? Sort by mount / length / brand / etc. and slide into cubby hole style racks, that either have an address (linked to an inventory), or a place to mark the contents.
Might be possible to build one out of wood. Found this (see link) by Googling 'steel bar storage racks': https://materialflow.com/p/Bar-Storage-Rack (I would put a plywood strip as a 'floor' in each cell). Might be able to repurpose some surplus industrial racks? Maybe different storage for bars up to , say, 30 inches, and put the longer bars somewhere else?
These cubby holes could be under one / some of your work benches - they would not need to take up an entire wall.

I will display some in the shop, but would like to be able to locate a bar when someone is needing to buy one as well. I have another large collection of bars & chains hanging in my current shop that will also need to move over. I have put up some bar racks (2x6's with 1/4, 5/16, or 3/8" rods in place) and some racks for hanging chains (2x4's with rods) that will accommodate many of them but that may also require multiple bars on a rod and sorting through them when I need a specific one.
Older photo of my current shop but you get the idea. I have 3-5 bars on most pegs.

Mark, this is sorta near me on FB marketplace. It is a Mac but I cannot make out the model on the tag. Is it something you’d like me to look into and possibly grab for the museum? I’m not up to speed on macs but I’ve never seen a two man version
