I completed the first of the two chains I planned to make with the links I cast. I cast about once a week at Phil Bear so it is a skill I use often. I used my experience of casting a chain at Phil Bear to cast my chain. Thin chains are machine-made but larger chains can be cast.
My chain is the first completed piece that I had done drawings of beforehand. Even though I had the drawings of what the final chain might look like, decisions are made in the manufacturing process which changed the outcome of the chain. Considering my chain isn't a plain round link chain I think the outcome was better than expected as I wasn't sure if the link shapes would be visible or work together like a chain.
