Carving a chain from a crayon first atempt

Post for successful carving of a full crayon chain here


This I have not done yet but have made one link. Very tricky carving. I start by making a + shape and then work them apart with a needle.
I know people work with wood to carve chains but I decided it would be better to try to figure it out on my own. So I refuse to google how to carve a chain until my system works.
