I just finished making this and I am beyond happy! I think I'm going to try to make it out of stainless steel next time. My wife says it is very masculine looking! Thanks for all your excellent tutorials!

Thank you for this tutorial! It was super easy to follow. I love that you showed how many open and closed rings you had for each stage and the fact that you went slow enough for me to keep up. A lot of the Chainmail tutorials I've found either go to fast, you can't see what's going on or they don't give good instructions. The cross I made took a few more rings to beef it up, but it looks super good! I used stainless steel, 17 gauge rings on a 1/4 inch diameter and brass, 14 gauge rings on a 5/16 inch diameter center. I used 4 rings in between the byzantine and connecting the arms and leg of the cross. I used 3 brass rings on each end instead of one big ring and 2 small. I also used 3 brass for the center ring.

So, I was making the cross. I don't know really what happened. My brain took over my body and my mind floated away with your guitar. Before I knew it, I completed my goal. I'm so proud of myself. Thank you. I love it when I find content that I didn't know I needed until after I was done watching it. Your voice is so soothing, I think that might be part of it.

@cindysinger89647 жыл бұрын
Yvonne, I made two of these, and they both turned out really nice. One of them though I started out with 14-gauge 10-mm rings for the center that you attached the 12 18-gauge rings to, and that made it really stable. Therefore, I didn't need to add the a 2nd ring for the final part of the weave where you add the rings to the 4 corners. I really enjoyed this tutorial, and I love the design. You're a terrific designer. Looking forward to your next chainmaille tutorial.

First, I love your tutorials! I've learned so much! Second, I tried this pattern and I think I got something wrong... getting just the second ring of the "outer circle" (last step before adding the "bail" ring where a chain would attach) was nearly impossible, much less a third ring. It LOOKS the same as yours but was an absolute battle. Thoughts?
@TheMokujin19707 жыл бұрын
Yvonne; Great tutorial! I know from the comments that you make your own rings, and you buy your colored rings from the Ring Lord. The Ring Lord uses SWG (if I'm not mistaken), so for the rings you make yourself, are you using SWG as well? Thanks for all the great tutorials, I love the Elfstar pendant as well.

Hello! The rings I make are in SWG as well :)
@TheMokujin19707 жыл бұрын
Wow! Thanks for the prompt reply :) I love your videos and I think you do some great work. You were absolutely right with what you said about getting overwhelmed. I think that sometimes, especially with new "weavers", we can get overwhelmed by the amount of rings we have on the bench and the sheer number of twists and turns that can be made. Your advice was spot on - just step back, take a little break and come back to it. It has helped me numerous times. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see more of you in the future! BTW - Subbed!
