I've made clasps with my short pieces, but never thought to make a whole chain. Cool! Awesome wrap and cab too donna! Nate

Thanks guys it is called time consuming winter project ;D
I found that I don't get much back on gold filled and I wanted to do some thing a little different. I have done three so far. They also are stronger and go better with bigger wraps than the small chains you buy. Donna

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
