New an improved method for making links of odd lengths ans shapes.
Also techniques in bening links to create high clearance links!

Also another point I forgot to address near the end of the video is the use of stainless tube or titanium tube with m4 all thread to make links. This is definitly a better way to go about it as it is definitely stronger and will catch much less on rough surfaces less compared to aluminium links. However doing it this way has a higher material cost and will be more difficult when creating different diameter links. Creating links out of solid rod will always be stronger and will also look much better especially when introducing bends. At the end of the day either techniques works, and yes this technique is more complex and more time consuming but this is my prefered way of fabricating links.
Happy Crawling!
