Title: First time making jack chain
Post by: Wmasswolf on February 22, 2025, 09:51:42 PM

Completed some homemade jack chain from brass rod this week. I've been wanting to experiment but took a while to find the right brass rod. Used jax blackening to age the brass.

 Looks good, those "eyes" are hard to make each one the same and yours look right.

Great job, great "look"! Anyone would be proud to have these hanging from their shot bag or strap.

Nice work. You may want to try mild steel fence wire. I believe Tractor Supply has it. It's easy to work, and once shaped easily hardened.
