Loving the old shed with old tools.  Actually all of it - quite a museum of awesomeness you've got going on down there.

That is a hen of a chain.  What was it used for?

I'm going to safely venture that the big a** chain was used for marine use, for securing a very large vessel to an anchor.

Looks very similar to what my previous girl friend used to lock me out of the fridge.  🙁

Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Did it work? Houdini think of that.

They may have been designed for maritime use.

But spent the last part of their service life being dragged through bush.

Between 2 tractors or crawlers. 

Some times with a large steel ball in the centre to keep the chain at a height to knock trees over.

As a boy I saw and was involved in land clearing and even as an adult I cleared and cropped new ( ? Old ?) Land.

Now I have seen that same land having been developed and productive as farms.

Then re planted to trees and even more recently watched the same being harvested. 

Who would have thunk it?
