make a wood and metal mandrel from two blocks of wood on a 2 foot long board with holes drilled through it like this rough pic, and the mandrel rod from M6 threaded rod. just bend the end into a Z shape as a handle with a bit of leverage.

then either drill a hole through the rod to thread the wire through, or clamp it in place, and wind the handle around and you can feed wire into it to make a long spring-like rod. then just use snips to cut it up into links.

wear safety glasses, and DO NOT try to save effort by using a power drill - that's asking for it to pull your finger in, and either break your finger(s), rip the fingers off, or deglove the fingers.
