As Nomad said, that's a really nice effect on the chain links and all of your work is so pleasingly tidy, not to mention innovative as well. I really enjoy seeing work that will inspire me to higher standards.

As for these pieces being 'quick little simple things', I can't aspire to that, I need time and lots of it.

Great chains, and my attempts have not been that well received. Lumpy and the chains leave a lot to be desired. Yours are outstanding work. I think I will go back to carving gnomes.

I have yet to attempt a chain, but do enjoy the smooth work.

Thanks 'fly fisher', but the quality shown in your chains and swivels is definitely something I will be consciously aiming at with my next work. And if it's not plagiarism, those inside bevelled links are too tempting not to try.
