How To make Full Persian 6 in 1 chain mail Bracelet Easy Method in HD Macro

[@mmart1nez]

I really enjoy your tutorials. I wanted to ask how you figure the aspect ratios. I am looking to make a wallet chain and I like the way your work is tight and not loose. What is the mathematical formula you use to keep it tight?

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

The all important thing is to keep the same AR, as long as you do that, your chain will look the same regardless of material or size. Check out my Byzantine video for an explanation of AR. But simply, the aspect ratio is the inner diameter of the jump ring (IE the size of the mandrel) divided by the diameter of the wire. You need to work in mm. So in my case the rings I use are 1mm diameter and have an inner diameter of 5mm. So... 5mm divided by 1mm = AR 5 if you think about it, this means that 5 wires will fit across the diameter of one jump ring. Hence it determines how tight a chain you can make. A basic belcher chain for example could be made (just) with AR 2. as long as you can get two rings through another you can make a belcher. But in the case of the Persian 6 in 1 here, the clue is in the title. Six rings go through each one, so the inner diameter needs to accommodate six wires. Obviously this varies depending on the pattern of the chain. But hence you see where we end up with an AR of 5 to 6 for a nice looking Persian. You can also flip the equation round too... Lets say you have some 1.2 mm wire and you want to make a Persian. Simple, just multiply the AR (lets say 5) by the diameter of the wire. 1.2mm wire X 5 AR = 6 mm mandrel. So just grab a 6mm mandrel and you'll get a nice Persian with your 1.2mm wire . But how big will the bracelet be? well that's simple too, imagine looking at a jump ring flat and drawing a line across the middle. You've got 1.2mm wire + 5mm mandrel + 1.2mm wire. Hence the outer diameter of the rings and bracelet will be 7.4mm (or in other words double the wire, plus the mandrel). Likewise say you have some jump rings. 7.2 mm outside diameter, made from 1.2mm wire. can you use these for a Persian? well, you just need to work out the AR. So if its 7.2mm diameter then , Simply subtract two lots of wire. 7.2 outside - 1.2 wire - 1.2 wire = 4.5mm inside diameter With the wire and inner diameter we can now calculate the AR thus... 4.5 inside dia / 1.2 wire = 3.75 AR That's way to tight and would not work for a Persian 6 in 1. (remember we need 5 to 6 AR) However a great ratio for a byzantine is 3.5 to 4 AR. so whilst these rings wouldn't make a Persian, they'd make a great byzantine. Inner diameter / wire diameter =AR Wire diameter X AR = Inner diameter (the mandrel size required) Wire diameter + mandrel Diameter + Wire diameter = outside diameter (width of final bracelet). Outer diameter - Wire diameter - wire diameter = Inner diameter (mandrel) Perhaps I should make a video on all this. Hope this helps. Dave

@@CelticDreamsCoUk Thank you so much Dave....at last, I am finally 'getting it' - have read so much about the dreaded AR in the past but hadn't been able to understand the why's and wherefore's, probably because of the way the articles had been worded! Brilliant!

I have to agree with you that the flip method is the simplest path to make the Persian weave. A very comprehensive video, easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Glad it was helpful! Dave

[@updownstate]

I think the studies you did to build your skill in teaching came from a natural propensity. You are the best maille instructor on YT.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Thank you. I have been a University and college lecturer for 20 years, with four teaching certificates, A Postgraduate certificate of education, and a Masters in Education. Along with work on educational psychology in two published books. Perhaps I have a natural confidence, but my ability to teach comes from a lot of study and planning. I plan each video like a lesson, considering carefully all the information I need to impart and what knowledge my audience might or might not already have. Some of my videos take weeks to plan. So It's very nice of you to recognise that work. Thanks for watching. Enjoy. Dave

[@updownstate]

Thanks for your videos. They are my favorites among chainmaille tutorials. I did want to pass on a small variation I stumbled across. For the flip step, I find it easier to thread the new ring through the v-shaped rings first, then thread through the two just-added loose rings. As far as I can tell, the outcome is the same but I get the fiddly bit out of the way with maximum control over the ring I'm threading. Thanks again. Can't wait for the next weave tutorial.

Nice to be appreciated. Thanks for watching. Dave

[@sylviayahalom8041]

You really made it look easy and very clear, thank you!

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Easy when you know how, as they say. But it really is. Once you get that flip move, you can sit there with a cup of tea watching the TV. It’s quite relaxing. I do hope you have a go. Thanks for watching, Dave.

Man this is a great tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

You're welcome, thanks for watching. Check out the Byzantine too. Dave kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6xg5WNmrB0ia8

You make some fantastic chains--I could only hope to have your patience! I'm going to recommend your Etsy store to customers who want a heavy Persian or Byzantine chain.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Well, thank you very much. To be honest the Persian and the byzantine are quite therapeutic. I just sit on the sofa with my feet up and a cup of tea, half watching the TV. just two pairs of pliers and a box of jump rings. In summer i sit out in the garden. I'll then spend and hour or so at my welder. Again very therapeutic, almost like meditation. I find it very relaxing, and you know that you are also making money whilst you do it !. Dave

Cool stuff, very helpful! Gonna use this technique to connect my sheep pelt cape on the front for my viking costume. Your accent is very charming btw.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Sounds great! Dave

[@nyvira]

I was struggling to figure out how to do this on my own and came across your vid. Fantastic tutorial, I really appreciate it! Figured out the hard way that an AR of 4.1 doesn't agree with this weave though. Hope you're doing well!

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Glad it helped! Yes the aspect ratio is all important. Checkout my blog explaining this below. Dave pepetools.com/blogs/news/aspect-ratio-the-magic-number-for-making-perfect-jump-rings-and-chains

[@benth162]

Wow, a very nice piece. It seems to be a bit tedious in the making, but it turns our looking wonderful. Well done !

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Not really tedious. I find it very relaxing. Not difficult one you know the technique and there are only two moves. So I just sit watching the TV with a box of rings. It's quite therapeutic. And as you say, a nice end result. Thanks for watching. Dave

[@jttrgarner]

Just wanted to say thanks for this tutorial. Ends up my Aspect Ratio was the issue. Thanks for the slides for helping me get that straightened out... I was at waaaay too small a ratio! All the best.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Thanks, that's why I give example sizes. As many people don't understand the importance of aspect ratio. If you haven't seen it, do check out my byzantine video too, especially the beginning where I explain what AR is. Thanks for watching Dave. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6xg5WNmrB0ia8&lc=UgxT4jDsxpZAgbvWDz54AaABAg
