    Carol, 	I agree with the advice to get the book "Classical
    Loop-in-Loop Chains" by Jean Stark. It is currently available,
    fusing fine silver is wonderful. Another great little book is "Great
    Wire Jewelry : Projects and Techniques" by Irene From Petersen. It
    is almost entirely unsoldered woven and braided chains that can be
    made in sterling silver. 	You are correct in your observation that
    chain making is tedious. Most chain makers do it because we love it,
    not because it is a cost effective use of our time. I find it to be
    very meditative. If you find yourself getting frustrated, just slow
    down and enjoy the process.
