New Sporran Chain

[Dave K]

that chain is some nice workmanship,
ive been after a few ideas of different styles of chains and that has got to be one of the best ive seen yet thanks for showing

Thanks Skauwt. I love this weave and it has plenty of potential. The captive rings can be doubled making the weave stiffer and more "full" looking. You can also use colored captive rings that make this even more eye catching. Also you can use beads or marbles instead of captive rings for more variety.

Next time I do this I won't use steel, it's really too heavy. Aluminum is lighter, easier to bend, and comes in colors. I would also not use this size ring. 16g 3/8 is really bulky. Too much for a necklace. Next time I'll go smaller.

Also, make sure you deburr the rings and check all the joints. Panache had warned me about the dangers of shredding a wool kilt and I had notice some of the rings had not been closed as well as I thought.

Thanks Again.

Dave
