Loop in Loop Chain

I've gotten deeply into making these loop-in-loop chains. I use 16 gauge copper, anneal it and wrap it around a brass tube. I use my flex shaft with a cutting disc to cut the coil. I fuse each piece to make a jump ring. Using a pair of round nose pliers I elongate the ring into an oval and then pinch the middle. I anneal the pieces again, then fold them over; then link them together. I push a tapered center punch through each link to make them even and usually anneal them again so that the chain will move freely. I sand any rough edges, then polish parts of the chain.

It's quite time consuming but also very addictive and meditative.
