Re: link chain \"fence for Wroughtn_Harv

There are 60 caps to a link. Each cap has a hole in the middle. We started with a nail and hammer... That worked, and was how our friend Leslie had done it.

But, I reload rifle and pistol catridges. So, I took a 45acp sizer/decapper die, and set it in the press. The caps fit nicely over a .45 shell holder. I set the decaper pin real deep. Whala! It went pretty fast, and less chance of hammer to thumb contact /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

They are strung over a stainless wire.

We like the rustic look. I took the broken link apart, and found that only the outside ridges had rust. The insides of the caps have the plastic coating. The outside/top has the label. The labels were in perfect shaoe; could still see"Calistoga Water", Full Sail Ale, Sierra Nevada Pale All, ect.

Did your liquor store finance this project? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Awe, I don't have that good a story(or bad of a liver!). A friend was going to a project like this, but with hundreds of links. We saved caps for her over time. When the project didn't work out, we had a bunch of caps. So, we made our own little chains for the front garden area /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
