Ovals in the Round Necklace

I've been working on this necklace for about 2 weeks, in addition to other quicker projects as posted. In essence, there were days when I made a completed item and finished a few of the individual necklace oval links.

The steps include -

1. punch discs,
2. roll into ovals, 
3. create arch longways & then hammer anticlastic around the edge. 
4. Drill hole in one end and drill a depression in the other which will accept a soldered post. 
5. Solder the posts (1 1/8" long)
6. but do not pickle (leave the heat induced red). 
7. Apply several coats of wax, buffed in-between coats. 
8. Assemble, curling the post in the back into a swirl.

Copper - 23 disc, 18-19"
Natural torch patina
