Here is a tip for making paper clip chains from @gildedpoppyco- “I actually got this tip from a book I have, Indian Jewelry Making volume 1 copyright 1977.
To make mandrels for paper clip chain links. Take a short length of copper tubing and flatten it by hammering it with a mallet. I also ran it through my rolling mill for a uniform thickness but, that’s not necessary. Use different size tubing to make mandrels for varied size jump rings.” Thank you for sharing this with us!! 🙌❤️ #metalsmithsociety #metalsmithing #jewelrymakingtip #jeweler #benchpin #benchtip #jewelrymakingtechniques #chainmaking
