Post by: Zippo on May 25, 2012, 02:00:55 AM
could not remember if i made a thread with this title and reasoning but im excited so here goes a second [or first]

so im going to be making chain mail soon. im so excited its crazy! my mats are almost here... they arrive  in 4 days!!! cant wait

going to be making so much chain mail. i have the tools i just need to make the crank [once my foster dad gets around to finding the shit he said i could use or i buy my own]

going to start with some simple four and six in one. maybe move up to dragons scale. i have copper and aluminum wire coming.

oh! and i have to use the grinding disks my mom sent me to take the teeth off of my pliars [they damage the soft metals]

I have to say, pretty fucking cool. Given that I go to A LOT of celtic festivals I am well versed in the dedication that is given to the art. I love it. You definitely need to post pics as you go :)

Very cool. I like the pendants hanging on it. How long does it take to make something like that?

I do find this thread really relaxing.
















It makes me laugh, and I like the craftsmanship of Zippo.
Thought this topic was about chain letters at first b.t.w.  :laugh:

the real name for it is simply "Maille" meaning braid or chain if i am correct. some stupid author coined the improper term chainmaille later.

EDIT: that was not quite right according to this site

no... though i presume the process would be interesting. i am kind of experimenting with scale maille at the moment.

pics of my scale maille project [a small dice bag] and my chain maille belt that im making [god its taking a while.] below

scail maille one is kind of early stage. it has gotten much larger than that but the scales are a bit small.
