point in the preferred embodiment the substrate is a resinated paper that is water soluble other substrates may be used to accommodate different density of chains in the first step of the process the substrate 200 is stretched within a frame fig2 in one embodiment a first set of threads 201 are run from the frame to the edges of the substrate and tension applied in order to establish a strong substantially planar surface for the substrate fig4 shows a side view of the frame with the substrate in the second step of the process the chains 300 are laid out on the substrate side by side see fig3 fig5 shows a side view of the chains lying on the substrate in one embodiment the substrate is marked with registration marks in order to correctly position the chains in another embodiment pins are inserted at the end of the chains that pass through the substrate in order that the ends of the chains are fixed in the third step of the process a second set of threads 301 are passed through the links of the neighboring chain in order to bind the neighboring chains to the substrate and to each other fig6 shows a side view of the threading of the chain against the substrate the thread 301 passes through the hole formed by the chain link down through the substrate and then back through the substrate into the next hole formed by the neighboring chain link in one.
