Chain Mail

On a slightly random note, I have recently developed a fascination with Chain Mail. No, not the email kind. There’s nothing very interesting there. Making old-school chain mail on the other hand, now THAT can be addictive. Here are some photos from the learning experience that is weaving European 4 in 1 chain mail.

Now that I know I enjoy it, I’ll be making my own rings instead of purchasing them from a seller on eBay. 1100 stainless steel 16 gauge rings cost me nearly 20 dollars. 200 feet of stainless steel 16 gauge wire can cost me as little as 6 dollars or less depending on where I purchase it. That comes out to around over 4000 rings for nearly a quarter of the price. Expect more pictures in the future.

Cheers!
