Ha I had a friend of mine make me 2 chainmail hacky sacks back in 2005. They work great in cold weather where boots are necessary. I still have them. They get heavy on the feet after a few kicks. Lol

great idea for a hacky sack... back in high school my friends and i played hacky sack during lunch time and before soccer practice. we bought a 230+ hacky sack's because they would wear and tear, get kick on the roof, or school staff would confiscate them, most of the time it was wear and tear

@Tropicalwebsurfer5 жыл бұрын
So watching this again with another video using colored rings the ball you made has no actual center ring but instead the center ring is the top ring of one of the triangles is what it now looks like to me. is that correct?
@Tropicalwebsurfer5 жыл бұрын
I found this and made a bunch of balls but if i connect the triangles with the center ring i get a point and its not as flexible as yours looks. are you using SWG or AWG or maybe BWG? in my version I made just 1 alteration to make it more flexible with the triangles and it seems to work even if its a little different. I took about 30 balls with me to the 2019 Chain Link Up for other maillers to give them a look over and they said they looked excellent even if I prefer them a bit more firm if not filled with BB's instead of fabric.

It's held up decently - a few minutes to fix it here and there. Stainless steel would be a good material for durability.
@jorlok_zander8 жыл бұрын
you could rivet it, or just smolder the ends of rings together, which is easier, and you'll basically get a ball with a capabilities of an actual historical chainmail armor, capable of surviving sword blows, stabs, even hammer blows somewhat, and of course it will pretty much sustain any fall. And yeah, with stainless steel or something similar, rust won't be a problem either.

I ended up creating my own way of closing the triangles since this was not gone over very well. It worked out, but I agree that the triangles were the trickiest part and closing them should have been gone over in detail.
@ibjosb2 жыл бұрын
The two that I have are different widths and do not have anything inside. Having material inside of them will make them super bouncy. Leaving them empty makes them work more like a dirt bag. Then again, most people are watching this for chainmail practice, not new hacky sack ideas. 😆

You can buy steel wire from an hardware store, a dowel and a pair of wire cutters for under $25, then tightly spin the wire around the dowel you got to the preferred circumference. After you've spun around your wire, you can slide off the complete spring and cut the end of it one by one with the wire cutters for thousands of rings!

Took me two days to figure out how to finish this because the end of the video is so hard to follow. You did no explaining other then "weave them like so" and did the worst job of showing how to do it. Your hands are shakey, blocking the shot, and you move the piece off camera. You do this part too fast and don't give a good view of what's happening. Luckily I figured out my own way of finishing the piece.
