Building a chainsaw crate for my Shindawaiwa 305s for

Thanks mate. I needed a permanent nice place to store my chainsaw and all the paraphernalia that goes with it. Voila a crate made with fence palings and some other bits and pieces.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Thank you very much Mehmet, I'm glad you checked out the video and have a great day.

@@TakamiWoodshop You're welcome. see you all the time. Yours truly.

Hello Rob, It's a good idea. You've created a good crate for your chainsaw. Nice friend in your t-shirts :-) Congratulations. I also liked the metal tag. you for sharing. I wish you a nice and healthy weekend. See you. Big greetings. Yours sincerely, Mehmet

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Thanks very much Mehmet! Do you mean the Macon Stuff KZbin channel t-shirt around 7:56 ?

@@TakamiWoodshop Yes :-)

[@TakamiWoodshop]

That's one of my favourite channels 👍

@@TakamiWoodshop Thanks. Me too.

Useful projects are best projects. The chain tray looked really cool in that 3 second shot lol, was hoping to see it up close!

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Hey Mario, totally agree re useful projects! I was planning on the tray having markers to tell me which blades were sharp etc and under the lid have some specs printed or etched to tell me the chain type, length and whatnot, and ratios of fuel to oil for a range of quantities (I always forget 😫) ... but ... I'll probably never do any of that now :). Cheers Mate - have a good one.

[@sumosprojects]

Well constructed my kiwi mate, I enjoy your patient approach to making Sensei of Saw 🙏, loved the video Cobber 🍻👍👍👍👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

lol, sensei of saw - I like it Nakamoto san. Cheers brother - how's about you email me over a couple of steaks off your new barbie!

[@whitedoggarage]

Great project Rob, thanks mate for sharing.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Thanks to you too Bob, for the comment and for taking a squiz at the vid!

[@FixitFingers]

Judging by the shadow of your walky mount not only do we share the same Makita tools, we also have the same phone-camera setup 😁 I thought the chain box was cool, not matter what it looks like, it's just a practical storage solution.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Yeah it's a phone holder thingy called Ulanzi - with a RØDE style mic on it. Same? Re the chain thing thanks mate - yeah if it works I guess it's job done aye.

[@AceWoodCo]

Great video! Always nice to have a good storage system for your chainsaw. Nice organization! Cheers 🍻

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Thanks dude 👍 the more organization the better right!

[@grahamparsons6620]

Nice build mate, my wife bought me a chainsaw box for my birthday some years ago and it’s turned out to be so handy to have somewhere for the chainsaw and it’s accompanying bits to live, if I am going out to cut wood I just have to grab one box, easy as 👌👌👌👍👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Gotta say mate that's a freakin' awesome birthday present! Yep -- all the bits all in one place - I'm lovin' it already. It also ended up being a good chance to chuck out all the old bottles of bar oil etc that had none left and just tidy up in general. Cheers Graham mate 🤙

[@JohntheSchreiner]

Nice one! I need to do one for mine as well, its been on the list for a few years, in the meantime I guess I'll just carry on with my old kitty litter bucket.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Lol, kitty litter bucket sounds quite good actually - my old system for 10+ years was a flattened cardboard box!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Great project Rob. I made the same for my chainsaws. You’ll like having everything organised in the one place

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cheers Vic, everything got displaced over the past year or so with some rearrangements so it was high time I sorted something out. I'm loving having it all together already. I have two more chainsaws still hanging around in random places so I'll have to pull finger and get them sorted as well. But this is my best and favourite saw so it always gets special treatment. Cheers for hosting the challenge btw!

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Definitely going to appreciate everything being in on place mate when it comes to next year and all your gear is in one well organised safe dry location. 😊

[@TakamiWoodshop]

For sure! Speaking of safe, you've made me realise just now how much I like having the petrol in there rather than on the floor in the garden shed outside. Just seems better. Cheers mate!

[@thesmallshed]

Nice build.👍👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cheers Peter!

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Nice one mate, you could even put wheels and a seat on that for added bling value

[@TakamiWoodshop]

.... and a bottle opener right? 😁🍻

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

@@TakamiWoodshop 💯💯

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Mate, love the calendar pose at 0:37 and I also like your clever firewood storage system, I might have to try that out for my winter storage. Keep up the great work Rob!

[@TakamiWoodshop]

That pose is my favourite one too!. Been trying all this time to weave it into one of my videos [grin] cheers mate. I put boards on the front of my woodshed to stop wood falling out from the top which is quite high as the whole thing is up on a retaining wall. So it was a safety measure at first but added bonus is you can fit a shitload more wood in there and, it looks better .. win-win!

[@SujMenon]

Nice job Rob Tee 👏 👍. Perfect place to store a chainsaw. It actually looks like an ammo crate. And great editing as well 😁

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cheers Suj, but you know, I'm jealous of your ending... you had whisky, whereas I just had more wood to chop. #notfair replaceAll("wood chopping", "whisky drinking");

[@SujMenon]

@@TakamiWoodshop haha 🤣

[@margaritistakiskailos]

Nice crate Rob! now you have everything you need in abox! Well done my friend! 👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Thanks man. Sometimes I feel like life would be much simpler if everything I owned was in a box. 🤔

[@davykins]

Nice one Rob , hope you keeping well since Bud. :)

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cheers David mate - keeping my head above water I guess. You?

[@davykins]

@@TakamiWoodshop yeah, doing ok thanks Rob , have cabin fever ,as do the rest of the country. We are in our 3rd lockdown period with no real end in sight. We need a few no nonsense leaders like you guys have :)

[@alanscannell]

I like the stop for the drill press 😂 that's a nice project bud I might have to copy that for my electric one 👍 the spare chain on top looked good to me 👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

The window as the stop you mean? ha yeah. wasn't actually touching though but. The idea of the chain tray is okay but I routed out an enclosure for each one and it came out a real dogs breakfast. Planning to do it again. (I never will 🤣) Cheers dude. as always - take care of yourself mate.

[@alanscannell]

@@TakamiWoodshop yea it's a good adjustable stop 😂 you dont need to do it again it does the job bud. Hope you guys are all well 👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

hehe, it was more because the shop is too small and I was too lazy to move the drill 🤣

[@alanscannell]

@@TakamiWoodshop at least you have a shop. My new one has been delayed yet again 😭

[@TakamiWoodshop]

ahh that sucks! I'd be really at a loss without mine. It's sort of part of life now.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Nothing wrong with the chain tray, mate. If it works and does the job, it's good enough. 👌🏽 Great job, man, with a practical application 👍🏽 Some drilled out dowel threaded on to the rope handles might give your hands a bit of relief, considering the weight? Just a thought...

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cheers Bill, yeah the tray is functional, that's the main thing! Good idea about the dowel! A mate suggested pipe but I thought it might eat away at the rope, but dowell wouldn't, and I even have some that would work. Thanks mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

@@TakamiWoodshop No worries mate. Might pay to give them a good oiling to, or they will definitely dry out way too much and split...

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Yeah true..

[@Wackywoodworks]

Well... that worked, and now has a mobile home... my one question is... does the crate itself have a home...??? ;-) I did a similar thing on a much smaller scale for my plastic welder...so much easer having everything in the one place.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

hehe good question - I put up a new shelf for it in the garage for it but it was too heavy to lift up with all the petrol etc in there so now it lives in front of my table saw. Not what I planned but it ended up being a good out of the way place for it. Planning a new garden shed at some point though. 👍

[@kuffyswoodwork]

No more looking for bar lube anymore, as it will be in the box from now on 👍

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Just knowing where the bloody wrench is is giving me peace of mind 24/7 too. Lost it the other day, big panic!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Thanks for not telling me about this KZbin notifications notifications. Do KZbin notifications even work any more? If I hadn't been stalking you I never would have found this.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

When's the boat race final kicking off now? ⛵

@@TakamiWoodshop possibly Wednesday

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I love how you have a video of a cross cut sled for your circular saw with 200,000+ views, but you don't bother using it🤣🤣🤣

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Great point! Feck me you just made me laugh 🤣. The operative word in what you said just now was "bother". I can't be bothered, but the biggest hassle about it is the space that I (don't) have, and how long the track is. I have to step up over around and under everything as it is, with the track and some riser blocks or whatever in the way it just get really annoying.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@TakamiWoodshop I hear you on that! There are lots of things I can't be bothered to do🤣
