Do let me know if you like the chain design !
i really want your feedback
That’s incredible Patni, how long have you been making chain in this way?
How long does it take to make a length?
I like the draw plate being held by your feet. I’ve never bought one because I didn’t have the equipment, now I know what to do!

Hey CJ57,
Thank you for watching the video.
This chain is a very old and traditional chain in my city. This chain is made by my goldsmith since the past 30 years. Its tradtional as well as very fashionable.
For a 24 inch chain, it takes us normally 1.5 days (including lunch time, dinner time, etc)
Thank you.
Yes, draw plates are actually cheaper . so thats its bieng used.
I have drawing machine as well.
How do you draw wires?
I would like to say I draw wires but haven’t done so since college 40 yrs ago . Like most people I just buy wire the correct size.
So that is not you making the wire but your goldsmith? Caroline

That was a fascinating process to watch, thank your sharing it. Making a chain that way would take me around a week I think!

Interesting, I use draw plates quite often however, I am no longer agile enough to hold them in my feet, I do the easy way with a draw bench.
