This vid made me see an even faster first step, you can link a double length single chain then twist it onto the brass rod to do the first two rows. Thanks for the vid!

How many rings do I need?

Super appreciate this video, just got started and 4in1 was kicking my but but this helped it click and actually make a small patch (10x10) of chain mail. Ty!

You did a great job on the sign!

You place your shaft into your drill, I place my drill into my shaft, we are not the same.

how do you get the wire off the dowel?? Mine has been stuck for a year.

0:29 last time i fixed my shaft to the drill it didn't end well

I'm curious how many rings you can make using the entire roll?

Milwaukee is red not orange

Whre do you get that rack to put it in? What do you even call that, to google it?

You can tell how long ago this was. a 1/4 mile of fence wire is $65 now.

dont ya need to weld the rings closed?

Here is my build video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquooneAf8RqebM Let me know if you need any other info!

Nice one! Need detail video for this project man if you have time

I'll just keep myself outta trouble so i dont need it😂 I ain't going through all that

Its a great way of making a chainmail but it serves zero practical use since if a iron tiped arrow tryes to pierce into it.. these rings will open very easy.. same for a sword.. still very cool for decoration purposes

Good info.

I used split key rings and 2 hooks on my ceiling to make my vest

I have discovered the same method with my brother when we were about 12 years old fiddling around in our granddad's workshop. The idea is a no brainer, and most likely was used in the middle ages.

Time to knit dachshund armor for my dog for medieval fair. Ty sir

I love you The only guide that made sense to me when it comes to making chainmail out of split rings Thank you thank you thank you :3

That's not chainmail it's a spark screen for a fireplace 😂

Learned how to make chainmail back in the late 80's. We used a large bolt and cut a groove in it to hold the wire and used heavy weight coat hanger wire. We also fed the wire through two pieces of wood chucked up in a vice to keep high tension on the wire while you spun it up on the bolt using a drill.

Since you’re making your own rings… once you have your first line connected, spin the next spring into the pattern and cut and close each ring as you go.

That is awesome to watch. Thank you Sarah I appreciate your time and effort.

Thanks for this. I am thinking of making a chainmail blanket out of aluminum welding wire.

Absolutely amazing! What a phenomenal idea. You are very talented and I very much appreciate you sharing your creativity.❤❤

its not Chain Mail if the rings are not riveted.

Awesome thank you for showing this 🙌

You make it very easy to follow. Very excited to get started

Sounds like a transistor radio. Couldn't even hear it.

How about after making it you heat it red hot and quench it in oil or water

You ade a filthy liar😤 This is in no way quick😤 It is like knitting, but with pliers. You can have slits in finger huts, so you don't need to grab the tools.

Using a rod to hold the rings took this from a hobby I was struggling to getting going and let me turn out a fully fabricated piece in half an hour! Just a small piece, but it's a very encouraging start. Thanks for sharing this, it's a game-changer

I used to do chainmail key chains on sale. One optimisation I found pretty quickly: 1) bend a peace of wire 150% of diameter of the wire to L shape. 2) put one end of the L inside the "spring" 3) start screwing the other side of the L through the coils of the "spring" 4) then cut the rings The L creates the gaps in the rings - big enough to easily join the rings together. You'll save much time on that - no need to bend the rings twice (1st to create a gap, 2nd to bind the ends together). Good luck!

Hey bro I’m a new subscriber I just watched your video and how to make chainmail from 11 years ago and all I have to say is thank you it will be a great help 🙏

That's not a chain mail, that's a ring mail 🤓

Awesome! Thank you!

extremely well done and short video! Great job! Where did you get the screws and nuts? Could you do another short video showing it in action. Thank you!

I’m not very clever but how the hell do I join my sheets together?

They make rings you can wear to use at least on one finger when closing the rings. I've only used 1, but you might be able to wear 2. juggling just 1 pair of pliers makes a huge difference since you can keep it in your hand!

Once you get the starter links on the rod in you helping hands couldnt you spin up another spring coil and instead of cutting the coils into individual rings couldnt you pull the spring apart and spin the entire coil through each starter ring, catching each ring as you go? Then cut the coilonce you've woven the spring through the starter rings. Then you could bend the rings shut. Youd skip benging them open as well as speed the linking process up significantly. Hopefully im thinking about how theyre linking together right and if i am, hopefully im explaining what i mean simply enough

This is exactly what I need but I have few tools and no place to complete this project. HOW do I bypass the safety feature that prevent my shredder from performing on a larger receptacle? It seems like a simple fix, but no luck finding out how… Signed, A Librarian not a Mechanic

Quickest way to make chain mail? Make a peasant do it.

I wanted to make a chaimail armor... and looked on youtube to find out how to start. This video popped up, and it was the start for me. Nice and simple. 👍

Super helpful
