Forgotten trend of the USSR: the chain of wire with his hands
I do not know, that reminds of the time when many fellow students themselves wove and wore a chain of wire. It was in the 80's. Who found that, from this and doing. For this purpose, suitable thin aluminum, copper or silver wire, and steel can be used, but need a more powerful machine.
I show how to weave the chain on makeshift machine wire of 0.7-0.8 mm in thickness. Specially chosen thicker to make it easier to demonstrate. Each brought wire, pulled out from the old TV set stabilizer.
Here is a mini-machine for such a thin case. I took a piece of chipboard furniture and drank it midway. Note that the metal stud on the one hand fixed on the outside and is fixed, and the other turned the spit.
The distance between the movable and fixed parts defines the size of the chain link being produced. So...
Threading wire through the eyelet of the last link, and wound on the machine so as to picture 3. The short end is folded on the rotating machine side.
I'm left-handed, so that there is already someone as comfortable. wire ends are folded in different ways, but I was more convenient when they are lowered. It turns wire is wound in a half turn, but this is not standard, and is just an example.
Now twist the skewer full three turns and we get here is a subtotal.
Next, I rented a new link with stanochka supports and break off the wire on both sides. Matter how the overall quality of the product depends on accurately this is done. If the fracture site on the edge of the link bulged, it can be pressed with tweezers or small pliers. But mostly and it turns gently.
Someone broke off the edge directly on the machine, but it is easier to first remove the chain. breaking off the edges - perhaps the most nudnovato stage of the work, but also keep in mind that no habit can ponatirat calluses on his fingers. If it goes, it is possible to weave a chain of 30-40 cm for 20-30 minutes. There is still, of course, it depends on the size of many managers.
Finished chain then you can flatten a bit and get a lot more beautiful. But this requires a strong thin white wire, and since I have aluminum coated it with a flattening oblezet and will not at all. Well, I think the principle is clear, it is to get the hand. Details in the video.
