Make a round coil of wire.

Insert a wooden core in the coil.

Place the coil in the ring clamp.

Hold the clamp in the jaws of the table vise.

Place a # 1 blade in the saw frame and saw the coil into rings. Hold a ring on each side of the opening with
the pliers. Push the ends beyond each other, then together.

Single Chain

Close 2/3, the number required. Open 1/3 the width of the wire. Hook the open ring through the two closed rings. Close the open ring to make an even joint.
