yves Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The only pic I could find. I have made some that are longer. I used to make at least one link before starting work. The ones I make now have this elongated end that Mark Aspery always keeps. I think they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I close the openings, seal them with Kaowool and toss in a piece of charcoal if it's critical. OR I flux the steel to keep ambient air out of contact. Frosty The Lucky.

lazyassforge Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I found a picture of the finished abana chain from the year 2000. There were 975 links and it weighed an estimated 200 lbs. the pictures aren’t as clear as I’d like but here they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The YouTube link to that video has been made Private, and I haven't been able to find it elsewhere. A real shame. The good news is that I've just found a video of a chainmaker doing his thing back in 1953: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 AWesome video.. I love everything about it.. I love the slip ring on the tongs that is built as part of the tongs.. Helping to lessen hand fatigue.. This is the level of smithing I am always looking to acquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thanks for the video link John, I've watched a couple times and caught something new each time. His finished work is inspiring and well worth trying for. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
