@60inchwilly sry but your just wrong. ive had my fingers wrapped in the wire a few times in the past and they have never been broken, torn, or damaged in anyway. I have over 10 years of mechancial and shop safety experience. I know what Im talking about. So don't assume or state false facts that will cause harm to other people! -_-

what gauge wire are you using?

As a boy I used baling wire and a set of sheet metal cutters to create one half of a chain mail shirt. I find that the sheet metal shears provide a nice diagonal cut that holds together when stretched, rather than the poor matching surface created by other cutters. At the time I did not have the tools to anneal and rivet the links. Though I never finished my shirt, I have it still, and am proud of my work. I did not use power tools.

Medieval life must've been dull indeed if people can produce tousands of full suit chainmaille to equip and army.

What is the brand name of the wire you use, where can I get it, and how much does it cost?

Very useful vid! It encouraged me to see the speed with which you linked the patterns since I was going at a super slow speed. After sitting down to chain yesterday for an hour, I got the hang of it and my speed shot up considerably! Thanks again for showing it's not impossible. ;)

why dont you just use precut rings? I'm new to this and I just dont see the point in making coils and cutting them into rings if you can buy your own?

@LadySeafoam you can, im a big DIY'er and enjoy the satisfaction of saying I made something completly by hand. And the rings I've seen people sell are usually either highly overpriced or much to large of a gauge (meaning thin wire) for what most people want.

what kind of wire to use? i live in the tropical region. it's hot and humid here. most type of metals tend to rust easily i this condition. plus, i might've sweating while wearing the chainmail and it'll accelerate the rusting process. any suggestion, short of gilded or enameled wire?

@lanunselat stainless wont rust hence the name, but you ca always use aluminium
