Thank you for sharing. Skills like these were often taken to the grave by the craftsmen unless their children or family members carried on the craft. I've rekindled my craft DNA..I can engrave letters into stone ,metal wood..by having a go. The music is perfect....too. the demo with the clear rings an wooden stick is a game changer...I'm 68 and tearing up...yes tears 😢 I'm so happy. Nick...your da man !!

hi Michael thanks for your lovely comment … so many mediums to be creative with out there. Engraved in stone is pretty permanent not sure about my digital videos to only exist whilst the www is surviving. i’m glad to have found a resolution for the music issue, giving people a choice seems to help. Some of these waves have brought me to tears, practising with giant rings helps … stay happy … Nick

Thank you for the video. Really liked your idea of the plastic tubing to make a larger, easier to see demonstration. Just a thought, would it work to put various colors of glitter inside the tube, then make a chain? Mostly for home/holiday decorative garlands/streamers. Like draped around a Christmas tree, up and down a stair banister, inside ceiling of a wedding reception tent, etc. The bigger chain you did was so much easier to see in the video. Would be fun to find a use for such a large scale chain and an additional way to display your chainmaking skills. Follow up thought, perhaps a necklace to go with an Alice and Wonderland "I shrank" stage costume?

@@Nickscreativestuff Yeah it is a bugger that one, but once in the swing, as with other weaves, it is enjoyable. The last one I did was gunmetal larger rings and multi coloured smaller rings beneath, it is a nice piece. Although as you rightly said, a clasp can be dufficult to find. 🙂
