    Does anyone else here make chainmaille jewelry?

    Here are some samples of my work 20181228_015754_1546055445859.jpeg InShot_20191104_051814936-960x960.jpg 20191026_201231.jpg

    From th0e apparent size of some of those rings, you've got more patience and better eyes than I've got.

    doesn't really take much patience, what do you do while you watch TV?

    Icy. I'm not a drinker. Even after a couple of beers I imagine that your hands would still be steady enough and your vision clear enough to make some every so often

    I built one of these over the weekend, needed both the Opti-visor at 2.5X and the loop at times. 0003049_wild-west-gatling-gun_1200.png

    That looks really cool! The picture could use something else in it to give us a sense of scale. However, since you needed to use a magnifying visor, I'm assuming it's quite small.

    Yup, it's small,. It'll fit on a 3"x5" index card with room to spare.

    I've got a 2x lens on my Opti-visor and was looking for something will a little more power. It turns out that I can buy a new Opti-visor, with 4 lenses, for less than the cost of a single lens. Doesn't make sense to me, but I've now got a spare Opti-visor with 4 lenses on order.
