Anybody got a good use for old MC chains

[Masshole DRZ]

Like the title says. . I'm looking for ideas of creative uses for our old chains .

They are still too good to throw away.

[BillDirt1]

I've got a few hanging around too lol. Here's an idea, like this ash tray I have.

[DrzDick]

I've cut one down and turned it into a front sprocket holding tool, for use when I've already removed the chain and/or rear wheel and feel the needs to undo that sprocket bolt.

 

Also how about as a security chain - link a few together and put a rubber sleeve over them (or length of hose pipe) - you have bike lock chain of sorts.

I give all my old chains to a buddy who makes metal art. The chains are great for making dragons snakes robots etc. Its an interesting hobby.

Same here.  My girlfriend's Mom makes some really cool scrap metal art.  I've been asking my local riding buddies to save their sprockets, chains, etc.

I have a friend here in Phoenix that also makes metal art.  More of a hobby for him I think.  He made a tarantula from used saw blades.  I think it's close to 6' around and stands 2' tall.  I'll bet he could come up with something fun with old chains.

Must be a single guy to be able to hang light fixtures like that .

Hey I would like that chandelier in my house! Lol

[OverSquareEng]

Stack a bunch of small circular sections of chain on top of each other and tac weld them together to make a kicka$$ beer koozy.

 

or

 

Same idea but a little different. Start making as small as possible circle and go bigger and bigger putting the them around each other and tac weld it together to make a beverage coaster.

 

That's all I can think of, as far as functional uses...

[Weeeeee]

I'm pretty sure someone was making pattern welded steel out of them.

Those must be some seriously heavy chandeliers!

No doubt, I was thinking the same thing. I'd probably not sit under one of those unless I hung it myself.

[bobsled]

I want to build one of these with bike chain & sprockets.

I could make one but not with an O-ring chain. You would have to lock the links in position the best way to do that would be to silver solder each link. If you weld the links it would look tacky
