I have an arc welder, and a TIG welder.

Cut the chain into equal lengths...stack...weld...heat...flux...BEAT....draw
out and fold as much as you like...twist...whatever. The main thn is the
initial heat/removal of the dirt and such. Once that has burned off, bring
it out of the forge, wire brush and then use 20 TEAM MULE borax on it. Back
into the fire until the borax becomes liquid. Bring it out and get the weld
that way. After that it is a matter of drawing out/twisting if you like. If
a twist or multiple layers is what you are after, repeat the wire brush/flux
process as needed...

Good Luck/Post Pics of Progress...
