Here are some pics. Not painted or permanently installed yet. I knew what I wanted and took my ideas to Andy and Louis at Red Mountain Metalworks in Ashton. They did a great job.

Nice set up but I do have a couple of suggestions. No. 1...get that plastic gas can out from between the saws. You won't want it there after tha saws have been used and are still hot and the chain and log dogs can really tear up a plastic container. No. 2....consider either placing bungies over the saws (esp the front one) to hold them in place or put bar guards over them to prevent an unwelcome "stab in the back" in the event of a sudden stop. All in all though, just the added cup holders would make the rig advantageous.....cause one can never carry enough....uh....coffee....

Thanks for the suggestions! All good observations. Helping each other stay safe is job one.

You're right about the gas can. Wrong place. It will go in the back covered by our packs and other gear. Maybe have to put a small cooler there instead. For the "coffee".

Got scabbards, just didn't have them on when I took the pic.

Bungies? Hate them! (Warning: rant coming!) Darn broken things litter the roadway. If people would use them correctly and then throw them away when they start to tear they might be okay. But they don't. Got a flat tire once on the freeway when I ran over one and it curled up and bit the sidewall of the tire. Ruined the tire, had to buy a new one.

I love rope. Braided, not twisted. Already have the saws tied down with it.
