I have been watching you for years & want to say thank you. Your guidance & teachings are easy to follow. You have wonderful skills & I am very grateful that you chose to share your incredible talents with the rest of us.

[@AussieMaillers]

Wow, thank you! Deb

[@a1laudergirl]

FASCINATING!!! I have often wondered how chain mail was made in medieval times!!!!

[@AussieMaillers]

Oh it was a much messier and harder process than modern maille. Generally there's was rivetted, not butted like this. Deb

[@Mackuku]

Thank you! I’ve been searching for easy, straightforward tutorials for a beginner and this was perfect! Made my first creation with a ton of rings I found at a garage sale. Great job!

[@AussieMaillers]

Awesome, so glad they helped you. Deb

[@allanbrewer4041]

I absolutely love this weave it is amazing looking. I'm having some issues with getting it going, but I just started chainmail a month ago, so in time, I think I will get it. Thanks again for all that you do, and I will be shopping for supplies soon.

[@AussieMaillers]

Have patience with yourself. I did very basic weaves for years before I ventured into the really tricky stuff. xx

[@katiedotson704]

I’m just beginning to look at jewelry making as a new interest and only now found your videos. What a beautiful piece you created and your instructions are spot on. A thought I had when you laid out the first step in the pattern was the possibility of making a ring. Make smaller diameter rings for a tighter pattern. Once the ring is completed, you would have the option of putting the ring on a ring mandrel and hammering it to flatten it to suit your taste.

[@AussieMaillers]

Thanks and welcome

[@leebarker3374]

I love this weave! Thanks for teaching chainmaille! You are a great teacher! 💕💐💕

[@AussieMaillers]

Thank you so much!

[@avaalto5085]

Thank you, I enjoy making this into a key chain. 20g wire means loads of jump rings hand sawed.

[@AussieMaillers]

Yes, 20G looks awesome but man, there are a lot of rings needed. Deb

[@elorajaenovelle4692]

Appreciate the time you took to make this tutorial. Looks so easy the way you've shown it

[@AussieMaillers]

Hi Astrid, thanks for watching and commenting. Generally like all things, once you have done it for a while it becomes easier to do. Muscle memory and pattern recognition is something you build up over time. Deb

[@komalbhardwaj307]

Wowowowowowowowo Incredible talent you have. Your art work is so amazing 👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for teaching ❤️ 💕 love from NewYork ❤️ Komal

As always your work is awesome.....

[@AussieMaillers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@antstock13]

Great vid, but I have a problem seeing the links going in after the european weave, any chance of a vid using coloured rings to differentiate the Persian weave, ta very much, learned loads, thanx

[@kevinolver39]

Have you ever considered using an armature of some kind? I build ring by ring, and this arrangement allows my more control; the rings stay in place.

[@kevinolver39]

I also start with a split split ring to start, with temporary suspension rings to support each column- ( I also build vertically

[@angeloszavier]

I like that one.

[@damongraham1179]

Wow your rings are really nice and round and your closing gap on them is very tight. I have a small gap in mine when i close them. Do you have a video on how to make the rings? I would like to have mine tighter when i close them

[@SuperJoker115]

You've done a really good job at explaining; but, is there a colored ring tutorial you have? Either digital/animated tutorial or so?

[@mohamedaboheif644]

Wonderful

[@kimberlyoconnor985]

You made it very understandable ❤

[@AussieMaillers]

Glad you think so!

[@richardfrank9250]

howdy I just did this weave with 14swg 5/16 id bright aluminum and kelly green on the edges. it looks great but it is really tight. I still like it but have I dont the wrong size rings?

[@AussieMaillers]

Hi Richard. Yeah, that ring size is a tad small. 14SWG is 2.0mm wire diameter so that ring size gives an actual AR of around 4....the ring IDs I demonstrated here have an actual AR of 4.8. If you like that gauge you could try maybe 3/8"ID rings. I haven't tried that size, but in theory they should work. HTH Deb

[@julietagomez-frittelli1741]

is there a way to make a sheet of this weave? to make it wider, include more columns of the persian dragonscale weave?

[@V_for_Vadim]

ничего не понятно , но было очень интересно

[@ivelissegarcia9612]

Amazing love your talent thank you for sharing!🥰🙏

[@AussieMaillers]

My pleasure 😊

[@heatherdrinane2894]

Hey Deb, How much room is in the middle of the bracelet? Could small gemstones fit down the toob? Thanks for going slow and deliberate when attaching rings. My eyes don’t go that fast anymore!

[@reikinurse4294]

What is the recommended ID for 18 gauge rings for this project? Love your tutorial and have checked out your website. I will be purchasing rings from you. Your jump rings close quite snappy! Awesome and impressed!

[@Malaari]

Very nice tutorial. Thank you :)

[@peterburrows984]

If you added a second line of rings or 2 more lines before closing it up would this be a way to make fingers on a chainmail gauntlet?

[@johnnyrutherford4781]

I AM NEW JUST WANT TO SAY YOU DO BEAUTIFUL WORK. WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF YOU SELL THEM IF SO HOW WOULD SOMEONE BUY ONe??

[@AussieMaillers]

Hi Deloris. I don't personally make maille for sale anymore, but I am sure you will be able to find a talented artist around you that would be happy to help out. Deb

[@whirls007]

How many rings for 8" on 14 or 16 guage?

[@magdamanzano2142]

Hello Deb. This is another gorgeous weave, I have a question, does this weave has another name besides Persian Dragon Scale? Thank you for the tutorial. Have a good night.

[@AussieMaillers]

Not that I know of. I'm sure others have come up with different names, but that is what it is called on the Maille Artisans site.

[@magdamanzano2142]

@@AussieMaillers Thank you.

[@kevinolver39]

How long does it take for you to make an eight inch long chain?

[@tlcustoms7054]

What would be a good size ring for a guy necklace and bracelet I'm a large guy .thank you

[@Erikhigh2]

if i use 12 gauge wire and make the bracelet tighter almost like a really tight byzantine will it still be flexible idk if i'm using the correct terms lol. i have 12 gauge wire and want to make the same weave but thinner or tighter and idk if that's possible please help.

[@igorzemlianskiy533]

super !!! thanks !!!

[@liliufreitaslopes6881]

That's fantástic. 👏👏👏👏👏😘💚🌷🇧🇷

[@AussieMaillers]

Thank you! Deb

[@tagladyify]

Looks like natural stone beads (which I love) could be captured in the tube. Would that be possible or is it too narrow in the middle?

[@AussieMaillers]

I've never done it, and I am not sure I have ever seen a piece where someone has. The weave is quiet dense I am not sure there is actually room inside for beads (I don't have a piece handy so am going off memory). As with all things it is worth a try. If you try it, let us know how it went for you. Deb

[@tagladyify]

@@AussieMaillers I may try in the near future. Will surely let you know if I do.

[@tagladyify]

So I made this bracelet for my son in 16swg brass which I believe has the same thickness as 14awg, 1.6. I was able to get 6mm sunstone n tigers eye beads in as I zipped it up. They are only prominent on that side and the scales are slightly raised, but I think he will like it.

[@tagladyify]

I would add a couple of pics, but not sure how in YT comments.

[@user-hx9jk2eb8u]

Muy bueno

[@sneakyfingersdevandle8164]

Gunna try make a neon coloured bunch

[@AussieMaillers]

Sounds like fun.

[@valderious1374]

Does it withstand well with impact force?

[@user-qn9kz7ox4c]

well done, super. like, and solder links?!

[@AussieMaillers]

Thanks, I don't solder the jump rings, these are aluminium so you wouldn't do that, but I know some people solder precious metals. Deb

[@warrell36]

What is the AR of this weave please.

[@AussieMaillers]

Around 4.8 was the actual AR of the rings I used. Deb

[@izlandskorpio77]

Can you use AA rings and epdm rings for this weave?

[@AussieMaillers]

I think in most cases the ring ID's that are available in AA wouldn't be the best fit, but if you can find a combination you are happy with, you can construct it using epdm for sure. Deb

[@izlandskorpio77]

@@AussieMaillers thanks a ton Deb I will try it out

[@joydevchdas7784]

Nice

[@lycaon3713]

I think this was dragon back maille.

[@AussieMaillers]

No, this is Persian Dragonscale. As I discussed at the end of the video, Dragonback is a similar weave and I mentioned the differences. You can see an article outlining the differences as I mentioned www.mailleartisans.org/articles/articledisplay.php?key=493 you can see here the persian dragonscale as the middle rings leaning in different directions, as do the ones in the sample I showed on the video. Hope this clears it up for you. Deb

[@joshmartel4282]

Where can I get the rings want to make me one for my wallet

[@RoSouza]

Like.

[@AussieMaillers]

Thanks for the visit

[@Wezzlie]

It is great that you make tutorials! But why do you always make so much movements with your hands and the bracelet? Please keep in mind that it is a tutorial in which people like to see what you do and to learn from it. Thank you!
