Barrel
Article © MAIL User: cliffordparker
Barrel is a weave that Susan Richards,aka Kali, posted on the wetcanvas.com (Wearable Art Forum). I developed the "speedweaving" technique for my classes, took the pictures, and posted it here with her permission. This weave works well with around an AR of 3.5. I am using 18g (.046/1.16mm) 5356 bright aluminum wrapped on a 3.5mm (.138 or about 9/64) mandrel.
Step #1. Close two rings and attach them with one ring to make 1-2 sets.
Step #2. Connect the first 1-2 set to your clasp with an open ring.
Step #3. Put an open ring through the double rings.
Step #4. Turning the ring backwards slightly, put the ring through the single ring of the 1-2 set.
Step #5. Put another open ring through the eye created by the two horizontal rings and attach the next 1-2 set.
Step #6. Repeat steps 3-5 to continue your chain to the desired length.
