My quick little project video that will show you how to create this awesome chain!
Please visit my web page: Nancy.LT.Hamilton.com for tons of ad-free information about metalsmithing. Stop on by my Pinterest, Facebook, and/or Instagram sites to learn even more.

*Note: I misspoke when I referenced a video that I thought I had made: Texturing without a Rolling Mill. Guess I haven't done that one, yet! Sorry. But, I do have a web page on textures. See the link, below, under LINKS TO OTHER THINGS.
