@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

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 :)
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.
