This is the GRREATEST.. I can't express enough it's importance.Thanks

see, this is a good video except:

WE CANT MAGICALLY PUT RINGS THROUGH RINGS

use 14-18 gauge wire for armor....

łooo to żeś się musiał chłopie namęczyć z tym... ( Wery nice )

i have made chains and chainmail out of copper wire and you can solder each ring shut. it takes quite a long time but its fun

How do you work out using hard, medium, and soft solder if you're planning on making a "sheet" (??) of chainmail and not just a row?

you need a good thick gauge wire, the gauge i normally use is like 12 or so, so when it bends closed it stays closed.

or you could flatten the tips of the cut part of the ring and drive a rivet through to secure it. unfortunately i've never attempted that.

there's also a small welding tool available at some chainmail websites and it'll weld your rings closed, only drawback is it's expensive.
