How to weave Scalemail

[@beauness29]

What diameter and gauge wire are the rings?

[@Fuzzy_Jello]

Absolutely beautiful! You make it look easy. I think I might try to make this.

[@florix7889]

Did you ?

[@TheEtaoin]

What size rings would you recommend for the small size scales? I'm brand new to maille, but these are gorgeous!

[@waderoberts3701]

Could I weave scalemail and chainmail onto the same piece? Like, could I weave a chainmail shirt with scale wrists and shoulders?

[@NinjaWaddles]

Thanks for the video man! SUPER USEFUL! Now I can actually start working on my rathalos armor! :D

[@terribelle3]

I am SOOO excited for this video!! ❤️ 😍

[@leac8354]

hello ! what size rings would you reccomend for the small size scales ?

[@jessicatwomey4024]

THANK YOU!!! I FINALLY FOUND A TUTORIAL I UNDERSTOOD

[@kevinfox5594]

Would you ever think of doing 2 holed scales so they can be thonged to a leather backing in the Roman method?

[@AmandaDavis6130]

+Kevin Fox The same website (The Ring Lord) sells "shield scales" that are basically that. Larger with a flat top, two holes.

[@ericeinarson6654]

Just started work on putting together my own scale mail today- The scales are my own- hand cut from steel sheets. I've been putting the weave together over the past hour- so much quicker to make than chain mail... but so fucking fiddly! Every five seconds I'm having to adjust the scales and make sure they're all correctly over-lapping. Should be worth it though- can't wait to have a massive weave of the stuff :)

[@mbalhart1478]

I'm planning to make my own scales as well! I want to try it with bronze. What gauge sheet are you using for the scales?!

[@mikethefarrier]

Have you ever mounted the scales over top of a mail hauberk?

[@blizte3]

where do you get these scales ? I wonder

[@AmandaDavis6130]

+blizte3 theringlord.com - says right in the video.

[@blizte3]

a wish and what I can get is two different things often in this economy under some groups

[@anamemananame]

What size rings are these? I was looking for a scale on your site but there was nothing for me to double check before ordering.

[@TheRingLordcom]

all the sizes are listed on the scale page. 18 316 for small, 16516 for large. check the webpage for tiny, medium, and xl

[@anamemananame]

LolI know I found it shortly after I posted this but couldn't find my comment again to delete it. Thank you for the quick reply!

[@blinky23456]

on your site you suggest the split rings but here you are using jump rings. which is easier to work with? If I go with the jump rings instead of the split rings what size do I need for the large and what size for the small scales?

[@vanessaliles6415]

Can you please make a video about how to do the contractions? I just got my kit and im a little confused by the tutorial instructions

[@Bennieisavailable]

if i were to use the small scales what size ring should i use?

[@matacoos]

thanks I dont know their proper name but can you use the round medallions like the OLD dogtags?

[@StargazerGemini]

One on finishing edges would be cool too.

[@eeveegirl1334]

Do you use the off cliter hole scales or throw them away when making your pieces?

[@lionroo]

I have a bunch of stainless, 16g 3/8. I want to do butted work, bracelets, or keychains. How much of a difference would it make, that 1/16"? As well is the butted going to work against me or should I grab some jumprings from you guys for good measure? (Or even the right sized steel?) Thanks in advance.

[@TheRingLordcom]

lionroo with a 3/8 connecting ring..., everything will still work, just you will see a slight gap between scales.

[@lionroo]

Ah, cool. Thanks very much. I wanted a little more definite answer before getting scales.

[@UserNameIsFullOfFail]

What would be the best way to connect two large diamond shaped pieces... say for making a red sonja bikini top?

[@Luxorcist]

A contraction explanation vid would awesome :D

[@brendan5031]

How many scales and rings would it take to make just a half sleeve (covering the bicep)

[@TheRingLordcom]

small are 1000 per square foot, large 300

[@echoloveswinchester]

im thinking of making a bra how many scales and chain links do you recommend i use?

[@Draconiusdelta]

if i were to use 5/32 18 gauge on small scales would it work?

[@Luxorcist]

what size rings are you using here? and gauge?

[@gamerguy10101]

Do you have a UK distributor for the scales? These are the best quality I have found but haven't found anywhere that sells them in the UK.

[@Mamont1287]

thicker plates?

[@terribelle3]

I came here from the channel, PARKROSE PERMACULTURE - 'how to add scales to your knitting' & it led to a link to your website -> then here ❤ Just in case you'd like to know how I found you 😊

[@abraxxoswood5369]

I'm so frustrated. The 18g 3/16 seemed too tight. I tried making one of the lotuses with the kit I bought from the site and gah it's so frustrating and tight and the scales slip off if any of the rings aren't closed perfectly...

Where can one get the scales? Did you make these by yourself, or did you buy them?

Lets see? It says in the beginning that it is from TheRingLord.com, and the name of the channel is TheRingLord.com. Where do you think they are from?

[@MastermindosEvilos]

I feel so stupid for not realizing it before I wrote the comment x) I actually did go in and check out the page and might be making an order in the near future.

can you do a video where you use the split ring your kits push ?

I was wondering about that! Cheers, dude! :)

[@littleminikid]

I wish i had realized you sold scales before i made my shirt :P Oh well have to make an other one then :)

[@rtester40]

I was on that page and found these videos but for the life of me, I cannot find the small scales the page seems to start with medium scales and finish with extra large scales. I may be overlooking the small scales as I have been known to be blind sometimes.

[@PsychoPhluff]

That was beautiful at the end, seeing the front view.

[@MaxVehn]

How many scales I need for Scalemail?

[@TheRingLordcom]

Detailed info available on our webpage. We have 5 sizes of scales. Large scales are 300 scales per sq ft. Small 1000 scales per sq ft - these are the 2 most popular sizes

No, aluminium is very light, it feels like plastic. I have a full blown chainmail shirt made out of galvanised steel and it only weighs 18lbs. Working on a scalemail shirt now.

[@cityassassin]

I am sorry if I am not just a regular idiot, but THE idiot. But could you either make a video, or just instruct me on how I order enough stainless steel rings, in order to make a Chainmail hauberk? I might just be stupid, but it does not look like you sell the normal rings in the shop. Either that, or they are missing the picture, to verify that these are indeed the rings for that kind of project, and not a keyring, or something like that.

[@TheRingLordcom]

email our customer service and we'll help you out. [e-mail]

[@williamjust]

+The Red Gamer Many years ago I made a hauberk from spring washers. (That's the UK name for them - not sure what it would be in the US.) They're like jump rings but made of tough steel. I bought them in boxes of 1,000 from a hardware store. I needed about 20,000 for a large T-shirt sized mail shirt, using 5/16" (8mm) spring washers. My brother used 3/8" (10mm) spring washers, so he didn't need as many. Try to find ones with the least thickness of metal - in one batch I got, they were so thick the mail was rather inflexible, so I used them for a neck guard on the back of a helmet. My preferred finish is oil-blackened rather than galvanised. They're virtually indestructible, but rather heavy - my shirt is 15kg / 33lbs. I should think you could use them instead of jump rings for making scale mail, but they'd be harder to work with as the steel is tough.

[@wtrdawnlord]

Nice beginners tutorial, but it sounds as if you are working a piece of bubble gum throughout. Not very appealing I'm afraid.
