  • i'd acctually like to try A MANdrel but i dont know where to get one.... i get i could always get my local town welder to make me one....

  • We got ours from the local Ace Hardware. So if your hardware store don't have it, they probably have access to it for special order.

  • Wow I have been looking at videos to make chainmaille jewelery such as for necklaces and bracelets. I look at ur video and I go " what big tools he uses!" and ur hilarious!

  • @littleminikid it defintly would feel awesome to make your own but i have a full shirt for cheaper then that and i use it every weak, its still in great shape

  • @pdicestunnerz I made a spring steel vest which i still have to make into a shirt so i bought 20,000 rings and that cost me approximately $240 AUS including postage and about 2 months of constantly closing ring after ring :P

  • @austin01478963 ROFL if someone ever gave you a chainmail shirt for free they are extremly on crack or a REALY good friend, this armor takes FOREVER to make can be very exspensive the cheapest chainmail i have found is around $120

  • hey man will you please make me a chainmail shirt i dont want the suit i just want shirt so will you please make me one? i am only 11 and i am into midevil stuff like battle axes swords armor and stuff like that and i dont know how to knit it and i dont have the material or the tools to do anything i can py for it but not to much i dont have much money tt all so will you do it for free for me or do you want me to pay you but remember i dont really have any money

  • Yo, Tim! Good on you, dude. What kind of snips you using there? I have a pair of aviation snips that don't cut worth a damn my 16 gauge wire. What size thine?

  • me too i use 16 gauge wire around a 1/4 in. rod and it takes two hands to cut two rings at a time, and there new wire cutters.

    I NEED TO KNOW

  • haha family guy jesus song at the end!!! WIN

  • ... larger rings are stronger.. and more expensive because more metal is involved.

  • That looks like you're using aluminum

    I make 17 gauge tiny tiny rings out of galv. steel and my snips have a hard time cutting them.

    I also use a powerdrill and stick the wire into the place where the drillbit goes into rather than finding a dowel with a hole in it :)
