I just ordered the Oregon Bench Mounted Chain Breaker and Rivet Spinner this morning from Baileys, along with (2) 100 ft. rolls of full chisel .325 x .063 Oregon chain. I am VERY "newb" to the process of chain breaking and rivet spinning though; I intend to learn as I go, figured I would go ahead and jump right in.
- Does anybody know anything about making your own chain loops??
- Where do I get the rivets and some extra drive links, cutters, etc.????
Thanks!!
In order to preempt some questions that seem to be asked pretty regularly, here is my attempt at one method.... Q: Why did you feel the need to buy this stuff? A: I enjoy learning how to do new things, and because I can. Q/S: I think you would be better off just buying one chain at a time, how can you justify the perceived cost and trouble involved in purchasing chain in bulk? A: I own and live on one whole section of land (640 acres), that is almost entirely covered in oak and pine trees; trust me, I cut down a lot of trees and make bunches of firewood, and because I can.
