    Hi Lily-Tree, Great video, thanks for making and sharing, especially liked the camerawork, nice close-ups of your handiwork. I was playing about with some rusted thin guage wire today thinking how to put together a bamboo wind chime that I'm making. I thought that home made links from rusted wire would be perfect for the project but i was struggling with coming up with the right type of links- especially wanted a hook like the one you make. Now that I've seen your video I'm going to go ahead and practice some link making and come up with something suitable for assembling the various parts of the chime. You've inspired me, thanks.

    This question was asked a while ago, but for new readers I'd suggest that the wire is behind the bead in the photo. The three wraps were made, the bead then thread on and then the wire was wrapped around the side of the bead and then three more wraps or two maybe, then finish the link as before. I think the solution is hidden through photography and the position of those beads. It looks like a smaller gauge wire than the neighbor links also.

    what kind of wire? half-hard, dead soft or hard? thanks

  • @LilyTree

    @LilyTree

    6 жыл бұрын

    My wire comes dead soft, which is perfect for these links. It needs to be soft enough to make the coil, so personally I would go for dead soft, then work harden the loops if necessary.
