To put everyone up to date from the last time I was here I will create a list of things that I have done and share a few tips as well that I picked up over the past year and a bit.
1. Finished school
2.Started studying
3.Started a facebook group solely dealing with chainmaile and had a wonderfull response go check it out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/136071543134042/
4.Experimented and played around with many patterns which i will be posting one every week from now as well as developed a few of my own ideas and products.
5.Discovered a miraculous invention to replace my handmade links. Spring washers! Available at any hardware store and very cheap compared to the rings I was making with my mandrel. The only downfall to these washer-links is that I cant make Dragonscale maile with them as their ratios are to tight.
6.Gained an interest in blacksmithing and heavy metal work (the interest was there already but I had never actually pursued it in any way) through a man I met in O-Hagens one night who was a blacksmith himself. He offered me an apprenticeship if i was able to gather the required items 1 being a log the size of me and 2 an anvil (More on these two items later)
7.Found my log still searching high and low for the anvil
8.Found the anvil but alas Chato (the blacksmith) has moved to Sauidi Arabia to work for a Shaik there who has a few hundred horses.
9.Now- Setting up my smithy and trying to save up to buy a blower which is essential to the forge
