    Re: + (Maurizio Amadei)



    It took a lot of digging but I got all the wire here:




    www.artbeads.com




    The wire you'll need is gauges 14, 12, and 10




    Be sure to get them as full round, half hard (very stiff but still bendable but will keep its shape once bent).




    Upon examining the photos of the chain on mindtrive (and other sites) you can see that the moebius rings drop down in size and gauge as you get closer to the wallet proper. More rings are thus of gauge 14 than 12 and 10 (10 being the least... probably like 3 rings).




    The wire is pricey. I roughly determined that I need 8 feet in total to make two wallets with chains and that was about $100. Remember, since you're making rings out of the wire you'll need a bunch of other supplies as well:




    - flux (to coat the hammered rings when you're going to solder them)




    - solder




    - clips and stands to hold the rings as you heat them




    - acetylene torch




    - various "pickling" chemicals needed to remove the burnt on flux




    - and ideally a rawhide hammer (doesnt leave nicks or dents) and a ringmaker's stand & graded cone to hammer around




    Unfortunately this project really can't be done right, or done well with just pliers at home and it's going to be time consuming... but fun!





    I will start a DIY thread on the chain once I begin the process (either this weekend or early next week). I won't derail the thread any further and i'll cut and paste this part to start it off :)

            i can see it too. i can't remember if those boots are the ones that i saw in the lookbook at A. i remember seeing these boots that had this zig-zagging pattern for the lace holes and it looked out of control when laced up.
            Did you get and like the larger dick?

                wow the low front hoodie is the best buy of the season!!!!




                It all looks so so lovely. Between this and what Carol's likely going to issue, there are some serious gems for the spring.




                The details on the curved seam pants are nice! Really simple and clean.




                ... the "to buy" list grows ever more

                        Looks great, the red splash is powerful...but is it just me or are the buckles on MA's boots just a bit too Harley Davidson/70s Amsterdam? It's a worrying factor that he's not trimming it down to the essence, as with the garments. Hmmm...

                            this looks really good (except the model's puppy face).

                              I think this would be the hoodie you need to actually make that look good! But yeah let's not [74]




                              I'm really digging that black bag by the way... anyone know what kind of damage am i looking at (ballpark)?
