[TheForge] used chainsaw chains

[terry l. ridder]

hello

i have been going through all various chains sorting out good & bad. a
friend suggested getting a harborfreight chain breaker and rivet
spinner. Using those tools "cut & paste" chains together.

Scrapping them is the last option.
I am not into pattern welding, but I know from the past on theforge many
people have used roller chain, bicycle chains, etc for pattern welding.

I have no experience attempting to weld chainsaw chain together in a
forge. I would assume that unless chainsaw chains are made from some
unique metals that they should be able to be forge welded into billets.

So are there people who would use these chains for billets or should I
just scrap them?
