Made them for my 16yr old son. The wallet was his choice and I airbrushed the design out.

2. Nice!!

You should chat with Zornhau, he does maile work, too :D

Those are cool, I like the bracelet a lot.

[bluesbassman]

5. Thanks Lynz.

I'll look Zornhau up. I like the bracelet too. This is really heavy guage stainless, I have some lighter guage that I think makes a pretty bracelet. I'll try a byzantine pattern next with that.:)

6. My dear bluesbassman!

Wow!

How do you do that?

Those are stunning, absolutely stunning!

Your son is a lucky young man!

How's he doing?

You should be marketing these...Just sayin'...

:woohoo:

[bluesbassman]

7. Thanks Peggy.

It's pretty simple actually, just a lot of labor. These chains are a very heavy gauge wire, and they wear you out quickly. Don't know if they would sell for what the labor is though.


bluesboy is doing well, should start running on the knee in the next few weeks. Thanks for asking!:hug:

9. very classy, even chic because simple is powerful. nice work.

[bluesbassman]

10. Thanks. I did a double Bysantine rope for a wallet chain last time.

It was unfortunately stolen. When I asked my son what he wanted this time, he picked the box weave. I think it's a strong design and looks great for a wallet chain or bracelet.

11. Cool!

A kit? Where'd you get the materials? I could try my hand at it for presents.

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[bluesbassman]

12. Thanks Inchworm.

I had the materials laying around. In a past life I did screen printing. I did some biker designs and got hooked up with some guys who were doing chainmail. These rings were custom made out of stainless spring steel. Very stiff and murder on the hands.

In getting back into the craft, I did find this supplier. http://theringlord.com/ It looks like you can order bulk rings from them, although I have not ordered anything yet. I would suggest a light gauge to start. You will also need to get the flat jaw pliers. Have fun! :hi:

[Shell Beau]

13. Nice!!

I really like the bracelet!

[bluesbassman]

14. Thanks Shell.

I've got some smaller rings I'm going to use to make a bracelet for my daughter. I need to find a smaller clasp, the one in the picture is way too big. I'll post a pic when it's done.:)
