Very clever. I'm impressed.

Ya got me all worked up Trout. I can't wait to see what you've done.
Hey Pops, How did you do the chain? I've made a chain by carving it out of one piece of wood, but yours looks like it was made from 1/4" stock. If not you carve like a machine. Nice work by the way.
Are we ever going to see a pattern?Jim

"Hey Pops, How did you do the chain?"
The links are all 1-7/8" x 1-1/4". I took a long piece of 2x2 oak a foot long and drew the profile of the links on each surface. Then using the scrollsaw cut out the profiles on one surface then turned the stock and cut out the profile on the other surface..............
Gotcha... cut them out of 1/4" oak I had planed down making sure the grain went on the long part of the link. Then split every other link starting at the cuff and reglued them back together. By cutting them on the long grain it made it easy to hide the saw cuts. I try not to use plywood on my projects. Just a quirk of mine.Pop

Reply to I decided I needed a challengeby will8989Not yet Jim. The corners of the baskets to appear to be drawn by hand or just a bad copy. The price might go up. Thanks Linda.
