Chainmaille Odds & Ends
|
Not a very good picture of my sporran chain-before/after. The lower chain is Half Persian 3-1. (I really need a better camera!)

On the left is the original watch my daughter wanted me to fix for her. On the right is the new band. The center row I left, per her request. The outside rows are 20 1/8 Stainless Half Persian 3-1. The inner rows are 18 3/16 Nickel Silver Spiral weave. I was actually pretty happy with this piece. Although it was probably too much effort for a $15 watch.

Here is a E4-1 ring I made for my daughter (well she stole it from me-same thing) It is 20 1/8 Brass & 22 3/32 Stainless in a simple European 4 in 1 weave. I was very careful with the closures but as she wears it the rings open up.....maybe brass and small stainless is not a good choice for a teenager? This has since come apart. I need stronger rings or a better weave for a ring. Oh well that is why I experiment.

My first two crosses. Both Helm weave. The left one is 16 1/4 stainless & 18 3/16 Nickel Silver. The right one is 16 5/16 Bright Aluminum & 16 1/4 Bronze. The right one was a commission for my ex-wife.

A wallet chain. Made for my ex-wife's husband for x-mas 2007. 14 3/8 titanium in a HP 4-1 weave. Clip from Tandy Leather. Man that titanium sure puts up a fight! (and ruins lineman pliers)

Here are two holiday ornaments I made for a "white elephant" party X-mas 2007. The stats are difficult on these, they were made with misc rings laying around, lucky for me I have plain glass ornaments laying around too.
