Making the chainplates I will make them more historically accurate First, I make the (0,6 mm diameter) brass wire softer I make a template for bending from what is nearby at hand I am testing extra low temperature silver solder paste Silver solder is much stronger than regular It does not break when bent and stretched This solder is easily blackened with Brass Black Now I need to mark the angles relative to the channels 1,3 mm drill (anything larger than 1 mm I prefer a hand drilling) I make an eye bolt on the drill 0,9 mm I will use copper hollow rivets to simulate an eye bolt's rings This is a photo from San Esteban, Wrecked in 1554 off San Padre Island, Texas Thank you for watching!.
