Started making the bearing that the chainsaw bar will pivot on.
Had a piece of 5 x 3 1/2 DOM that was too long for what I needed but too short to hold in the bandsaw vice. Clamped a section of 5 inch angle in the vice then clamped the DOM to it.
Precarious but it worked.
That was bored out slightly and chamfered heavily to fit over a piece of 3 inch shed 80 pipe to which it was welded. Bored the pipe to take the bushings then pressed them in. Then in the 3 jaw bored the bushings to final ID and profiled the boss that the bar adaptor will mount to in one setup so everything is lined up.
Now it needs drilled and treaded to mount the bar adaptor.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
