Working With Wood Again

 

The next day, I cut the sides of my work piece to 15".
 

 

 

This 15" size maxed out my thickness planer.
 

 

 

As you can see my work piece just fits in the machine.
 

 

 

Next I squared both ends and cut it to 18.5" long.
 

 

 

Now it's time to layout for my threaded hardware. I placed the chain on my wood piece, centered it and then used a pencil to trace around each threaded piece.
 

 

 

Then I drilled a clearance hole for each spot. Now it's time to work with another tool.
 

 

 

Working With Tools Again

 

Here I'm cutting a crescent wrench for my project.
 

 

 

I bought this wrench in the mid 1970's and it's worked great all these years. But I have another one, so this one became sacrificial.
 

 

 

More Welding

 

A mounting screw and a nut.
 

 

 

Next I welded the wrench to my chain.
