Welding Continued

 

I'm setting up to weld each chain link. I used a scrap piece of wood and nailed the chain to it so it lays flat.
 

 

 

These nails made it easy to keep the chain from moving.
 

 

 

I also made sure that everything was square.
 

 

 

This is what each link looks like. But I plan on putting all the welds downward so they don't show.
 

 

 

Working With Wood

 

I'm going to make a plaque to mount my art project to. The wood is alder.
 

 

 

I jointed the sides to get them ready for gluing.
 

 

 

I used three pieces here.
 

 

 

Working With Hardware

 

I'm cutting some 8-32 screws to use as my mounting hardware. I'm only going to use the longer threaded pieces.
 

 

 

Here I welded three threaded pieces to my wrenches.
 

 

 

And I did the same for my chain at each corner.
