 Does anyone know what it is?

 

  

 

Having made chain mail, I knew what it looked like, but given the forum, I was stumped by trying to figure out how it was train related Tongue.

Ok your not going to believe this but they are chainmail links.

Yes, I would because that is what I was going to say.

the real stuff. It just goes to show their are a lot of nutty people on craigslist.

What is nutty about it?   I've made several suites of chain mail through the years - I'm just going to have to stop getting fatter.  Blacksmithing has been a "family trade" for years.   I collect and make swords too.  Took 2nd place in the last tournament I was in.  I also Fence.


The people on Craigslist are probably showing your trains and calling you nutty.  Sort of like the fire box calling the ash pit dirty.



Little hint!

B: How in the heck do you dry clean those suits, they muyst be hell on the wife's washer

C:I buy my fence at Lowes or Home Depot why make when you can buy

D: No offense intended but your on a model railroaidng site where we are of course NORMAL so yes the people on craigslist are weird.

 

Maybe I'll go on craigs list and look for a giant wooden badger

 

Just my 2 cents worth, I spent the rest on trains. If you choked a Smurf what color would he turn?

Curtain rings, or nose rings for livestock?

As long as it is not your nose ring. Laugh

How about a chain for a chandelier or light fixture ?
