Step 1 Step... One. Supplies and tools

You do not need very much stuff to do this build....  One 12inch length of bicycle chain...   I got mine from my neighborhood bicycle
 shop for free by using a chain that they had pulled off to replace  with a new one....  Two 1 inch key rings from the local hardware
store...   Two pairs of pliars,   I think vise grip are the best for this....When you cut you chain Your should have the ends look like in the
picture above...  I also asked my local bicycle shop break the chain into 12 inch lengths...   You also would probaly
 like to clean the chain before you do any of the work...   I used WD40 followed by an alcohol bath...

[teach me cool stuff]

very interisting idea, and a unique way to go about it. and by the way, untill is spelled with a u, not an i...

untill is spelled until. Don't nit pick.

Will we just bend it to one side until the end or alternate sides after making a 90 deg bend?

Just keep going in one direction through the
Whole chain ... I think you could alternate between
Directions though and get a different pattern.
That could be neat looking... thanks...
