Homemade product from an old chain (purchased at Traffic Lights together with a chainsaw). "Breathed" a second life into the cutting blade

Recently I told you how with an ordinary, inexpensive chainsaw from the Traffic Light area, I cut aerated concrete blocks and a roll of bikrost (waterproofing). Naturally, the native chain intended for wood processing could not withstand this abuse and was very worn out.
Of course it needs to be disposed of. But I decided to give the chain for sharpening, they said that this product is easier to throw away. To which I had to object: "Sharpen it as best you can, let it still serve.". The master agreed, but asked for 50 rubles more for his services.
As a result, I decided to make a useful thing out of it. For this I need:
Two eyelets and cable clips. I bought them at the point of sale of hardware.
Next, you should cut off the lock in the chain:

After these manipulations, the chain should be free in the clamp:
Next, you just need to attach the counter plate and tighten with a nut:
The same operation should be done with the other end of the saw blade. In the end, this is what you should get:
Many will ask a question. And why is such a homemade product needed? The process of working with it is clearly shown, scroll through the gallery:
