[iPokeChue]

[AznBunneh]

It looks like something that can be used to throw at someone, and hurt them. :D

[Toddstyl]

That is sweet. Does it take practice???

[slitor]

OMG! THE GELATINOUS CUBE GOT ARMOR NOW!

[clayisajedi444]

@slitor OHZ NOZ!

[Juticar]

lol makes for a good paperwieght huh?

[undergroundFail]

chainmail always seems like it will get into knots when u jumble it around. Does it?

[tony1234872]

@undergroundFail No, chainmail doesn't get into knots, simply because it is linked in such a way, that when you twist it or bend it, it stays in its same form because it is linked entirely to each and every ring.

[ozzy33334]

hey im sorry you've probably been asked this a thousand time :( but what did you use for that? and where could i find them? thank you so much

[Gratch2222]

I'd rather make something I can wear. When you made the Coif did you use smaller rings and have a head form?

[drumdude365]

where do u get the coils?

[BenvolioLumis]

thats pretty cool. i made a jap. cube simmilar thto that one. with 10 by 10 rows w/ quarter inch id rings with three rings instead of two like you have. nearly shot myself  before its completion though

[difrent44]

ok thanks for info

[rohawksgrl]

Thank you for the videos regarding chainmail you've posted. They have been extremely helpful in my learning process. I'm currently working on a chainmail skirt as my rookie project and like seeing how others make their rings.

[waterzoip]

erm maybe a coif?

[kurnous34]

erm maybe you should watch the video again!

[waterzoip]

@kurnous34 wut?

i didn't found a vid on how to make a coif =S if there is ok my bad but can't find it

[waterzoip]

@kurnous34 my bad, thanks for the instructions anyway, i've made a chain mail armor myself =)

[cathal6606]

now that i have armor the peasants can no longer stop me

[difrent44]

IS YOUR RINGS 11mm?

[waterzoip]

@difrent44 regular rings inner diametre is 8mm so yea it would do rings of 9;6-10mm

[lingerinshadows]

what wire do u use?

[KairiValentine]

:D I like your comeback in your comments :D

At least you found something you like to do :)

I like making bracelets out of the soda can tabs.

[deathum]

It's a shame you're not showing new patterns, but the stuff you have now is fantastic and informative. Thanks for updating. ; )

[kurnous34]

kinda hard to be insulted by a person who worships a crappy singer named duffy. ZING!

[julian52780]

well, atleast he isnt a 40 year old basement virgin.

[kevilinsky]

When I first looked at that thing I thought of the Borg :P

[fatgrunt]

The chainmail cube is the coolest thing you showed. Make me one. That is all.

[kurnous34]

[kurnous34]

[bigheath100]

[knittygrade]

[pdicestunnerz]

Hey since you have all that time on your hands, why dont you make me a chainmail torso armour!

[username2274317]

[JummahFilms]

You'd probably need a fork truck just to move it LOL

[username2274317]

[spoloon]

[boatoflol]

Htey cube is neat! I love it :-)

[gustaf2adolf]

[boatoflol]

HAhaha try to keep standig upright with a mail made that thick. It would be way to heavy.

[gustaf2adolf]

[OctalLord]

he could'nt take it apart could he?

[demonieur]

ta du temp a perde dans la vie

[chunchoe]

i donno man... hes pretty awsome itd take hard work

[eagleflies2]

How do you do make a weave into to sprial because im new to this and i only now the simple stuff =<

[eagleflies2]

Nvm i found your other vid thanks=>

[blackfire8472]

A coif does follow a rather simple pattern, but I can understand even still why you would choose not to try to demonstrate it on video.

[pyroboy117]

could u show us how to make a 6 in 1 waeve i tried it and FAILD. it is so frustrating!!!

[kurnous34]

there is noo need to show the 6 in 1 pattern, its the same as the 4 in 1 but with to more rings.

[xxRAVONxx]

I do the hole for neck nicely rounded (like it is on real shirt). It needs a little diffrent approach, because then you dont make stright lines, but you must stright the lines by adding some extra rings during the whole process to have them stright on the body part again. But Im just on beginning of the process and have no idea how it is going to look like as a whole. Have you tryied this way also? To make the neck hole rounded?

[kurnous34]

yes i have and it works out just fine. The hole doesn't com out perfectly round but it doesn't look too shabby.

[7410n0]

Chainmail cube will never replace my sweet companion cube.

[DekassFolkner]

I cried when mine burned..

[cody0067]

I made a chainmail hacky sac witch works rilly well it was a 3 on 3 pattern that dusnt take mutch time

[turtlehitman]

What pattern did you use?

[kurnous34]

no pattern just made it.

[caucasianthundervids]

acctually that is a pattern, japanese or oriental chainmail

[fatmanslim519]

Hey could you show how to make the dragonscale weave? That would be amazing!

[kurnous34]

maybe, could you provide a link plz? theres a lot of different "dragon scale" patterns out there.

[OTEP1234567891011]

dude i worship you!!!!!!!!!!

[OTEP1234567891011]

this dude has patience and skill!!!!!!

[nibbler125]

wow if you make sheets of chainmail you can sell it on e bay for a pretty good price like 10 dollers a square foot

[fruble1]

i like the way the steel seems to flow in an organic way

as u handle it,very tactile .

[Lipton43]

How do you connect the layers? And also how many inches long and wide are the layers?

[woodnplank]

i cant w8 till i get the money to buy the stuff to make this... that looks so fun to play around with.

[mrmp34]

it looks like miteral not chainmail :p

[ConradJacob]

Can you figure out the "Voodoo" weave for me ? >8) (gnagnagna)

[pivd]

can you make a vid on hoe to add fabriks to chainmail

[kurnous34]

I'm not really sure what you mean. As in patching pieces of chain together with fabric? cause unless your using REALLY heavy duty fabric its just going to rip apart.

[pivd]

no i mean like how to take a piec of chainmail and line it with leather or somthing.

[kurnous34]

oh i c what you mean. As far as that goes your guess is a good as mine, never done it before.

[pivd]

well thanx any way.

[reuleaux]

You're pronouncing coif wrong...it's supposed to be like "quaff", not, well, "coif".

on an unrelated note... I bet you could really bean somebody great with that chainmail cube!

[TheKittu]

Yea I found that pretty distracting..

[kurnous34]

Ahh byzantine yes I did forget to show that one. As far as persian patterns go I never figured out the 4 in 1. The only one I do know is the 6 in 1 and my web cam suxs so the video quality would be crap. Most of the other patterns you mentioned anyone can figure out by simply looking at a picture, there is no need to make a video. That elf weave pattern does look interesting though, but also really heavy I MIGHT make a video about that.

[nanaruo]

how bout byzantine or reverse byzantine or japanese 8 in 4 or kings maille or dragonscale weave or persian, grizzly, scale, elf weave, birdnest, lobster the list goes on dont say there isnt anything left till youve done everything...

[kurnous34]

There is no 5 in 1 pattern to my knowledge, however there is a 6 in 1 sometimes times called "king's mail" i believe and no I wont be showing it. Because its the exact same concept as 4 in 1 just with two additional rings to every center ring.

[Dementrius]

hey, dyou think you could show us the 5 in 1? thanks

[cnwhite24]

You should be a salesman....no chiropractor

[MikeMeeker]

Hey man, kinda a bummer you arnt making anymore videos, but I understand that there isent much elts to it outside of exploring. Just wanted you to know that you did a great job with your explanations, and if you have any other "How-to" capable hobbies, I would love to see more from you. Please grab my atentin if you do.

[kurnous34]

Hey thx for the comment, it is very much appreciated. I was thinking of maybe putting up some videos on cleaning some firearms or some information on kendo. But other than that I don't know.

[ParcendumEstVictis]

That's very interesting. I can imagine how that cube would behave in a gravity free environment, absorbing collisions: sort of like a chain mail "particle system". One to consider for the computer! Great videos and very unique.

[jettrono]

(adding plate sheets to it) just to make it go on like a shirt.

[kurnous34]

I dont know how to say this w/o sounding rude but ill try not to.what ppl conceive as "plate mail" is actually just plain and simple plate armor. The thought of pieces of plate armor held together by lengths of chainmail is a result of RPGs and fantasy games :)

[kurnous34]

IF you ever had to chance to wear plate armor, the idea of also wearing chain underneath it, or as a means to hold it together will make you cringe, it would be like gluing sandpaper on the inside of a really tight sweater and jogging with it on. Also, a chainmail suit was extremely expensive to have built, and plate was even more expensive! If a noble could afford plate armor, theres no point in patching it together with chain which wouldn't offer as much protection.

[venatorvenator]

Moron. Of course this existed. I have no sources here for a brigantin-like plate armour with mail as understuff, but this is very likely to have existed. It may existed in a scale-way, but it has existed in a way where just some parts were covered, like elbows or knees.

Anyway. That you wore your plateing together with a chainmail wasn't even a exeption, it was normal. chainmail was more expensive than plate mail, by the way.

[venatorvenator]

And it does offer a protection, as you know, plate armour, even in late times, still offered uncovered space. This space was protected, and, not to underestimate, the psychological value of such a chainmail in addition is big. You may don't realize this, but just look at this plate armour with mail-application, it flatters around and doesn't give you the same feeling as the whole or partial chain armour would give you.

[venatorvenator]

If ever, I have some nice literature on this topic, just PM me.

And I don't like to say this, but: Damn, you're American! This is nothing else than European history. Worst of all is medieval history (and everything before that), please, you've got no clue. The best source you have is Hollywood. Which is not as bad, by the way :P

[kurnous34]

NO, actually i do have a clue, and thank you so much for your adult-like response. My info comes from not only studying war and medieval history in college, but also from the history majors i hung around with, and

[kurnous34]

from the medieval reenactment group i was involved with for four years. BRIGANTINE armor (which I have also made) did not use chainmail. The reason it was so popular was because it was cheaper than chain, it was just pieces of metal plates sandwiched between two pieces of leather and riveted together.

[kurnous34]

And as far as your "well educated opinion goes" perhaps you could offer some sources for this armor you describe as and I quote "I have NO sources here for a brigantin-like plate armour with mail as understuff, but this is very LIKELY to have existed," end quote. And if you read my response above carefully, which you probably didn't, I said that plate mail with chain patches would offer LESS protection.

[kurnous34]

Chain would save you from getting cut, but your still taking the force of a metal weapon, sword, mace etc. and its most likely going to break whatever bone it strikes. Oh, and quit w/ the whole "damn you Americans" crap, i am so sick and tired of hearing that noise. I don't insult people and draw on ethic or racial stereotypes. Now quiet down, go drink some tea, and get your teeth fixed. Have a nice day :D

[viatus]

Hehe...good come back,

Its a sham you are not goin to do more how to videios, seems like quite afew will miss them ^^

[jettrono]

can u show us how to convert chainmail to plate-mail? ( like plate armor but with the chain-mail under shirt for those who dont know )
