So is all your stuff just sitting on the floor? Is that why you're making all these stands?

Looks cool. What's the chain off of?

Some stuff is good looking and some stuff is cool, this is definitely both.
I would rate that as shop worthy and living room worthy.
Definitely show us how you end up using it. :thumbup:

Dr,
I need another stand like I need another ********.
I've fell into a lot of good materials in the last 6 months and just can't stop myself.
The chain was purchased for a trommel and this was the remnant.
Thanks

Royce

Neat build!

I think you should put some bearings between the chain and base to follow that race, making it a heavy duty lazy susan? C'mon!

The small area that you welded to hold the chain in place, will that be enough ? With the weight of the stand and the height of the stand acting as a weighted lever, I'd be afraid if one let's loose, it could be a (forgive the pun) chain reaction of welds breaking.

:dunno:

I have not welded the chain yet, only tacked it.

Thanks all

that may be my favorite one yet. reminds me of a bar I was at in New Delhi, India.

all the furniture, tables, bar stools were made like that; crankshafts, camshafts, cylinders from big engines...huge chains, all welded to table tops and stuff. cam gears on the wall meshed in a spinning fashion. was actually kinda cool.

you may think about selling those to some hipster coffee houses and make some real coin.
