Homemade chain making jig

[timc_doc]

original bend made at center, then hammered into shape at end with welded posts, I've used this to make a ton of chains including compressed gas canister holder note partially formed chain link
link formed enough to pound into shape on previous link but not so tight as to get stuck on jig. more steps higher res pics http://timsherri.dynalias.net/chains/index.html click on pics for higher res
