to save money with some tools i had laying around i used 16awg galvenized fence wire and a drill to make my own rings before attempting this. it works but the tool i used to cut makes the ends taper inside the rings. also took probably 3-4x as long fighting any inconsistencies in size or shape.

Just started! Do the pliers scrape the rings a bit? Mine are roughed up a bit when I am trying to close them
@laurendoescosplay23 күн бұрын
@@laurashawver4217 that can happen! You can either file the teeth down on your pliers to prevent that or even wraps the tips of your pliers in masking tape. For silver rings i don’t tend to find an issue if there’s some scratching but if you’re working color coated rings this is something you could try :)

Love this tutorial! Will be very helpful once I start creating. What cut of rings do you use? Machine or saw? I'm wanting to make something that would go over more delicate fabric so worried about snags. Appreciate any feedback!

did yew already decide which to choose? i was wondering this myself. from what i’ve read, it seems saw cut is better to prevent snagging

I typically work with 16g 5/16 rings, they're a little smaller than the ones im using in this video or you can do 18g 3/8 which is the same size as rings in this vid just a thinner wire :)

I was under the understanding that I was supposed to use pliers with smooth Jaws but noticed that yours aren't. Do you have any issues with marring the metal rings?
@laurendoescosplay Жыл бұрын
I don't have a ton of issues with this especially when working with rings that are already silver! if they get a few scratches on them you would never know but if you're concerned about it when working with precious metals or aluminum rings with a color coating on them, you can always put a small bit of masking tape on the end of your pliers to prevent scratching :)

How can you make the rings stay in place? The pattern on the sample I made looks good when it's laying on top of the table but when I pick it up the rings on the top move down and it loses the pattern a little bit, but I saw examples on pinterest where their samples/work aren't laying on top of a table and it holds the pattern. So how do they do it?

Good job. Did you know that Iranians invented the Chainmail that you and others are calling European.. . Also, Iranians originate from Europe (along Danube). I am not sure if they invented it when they were still living in Europe or later. Thanks for sharing, you are very talented.
