The Best Full Persian Chainmail Tutorial - Starting the chain, speed weaving & connecting ends

Recommended jewelry pliers for making chainmail: amzn.to/2SAOX33
Jump rings to get started: amzn.to/37I12Yk
Hey everyone! This is a fairly advanced chainmail pattern so I wanted to revisit it in this video and create a super detailed instructional video showing you everything you need to know about it. I talk about starting a full Persian 6-1 chain, demonstrate the pattern, teach you how to connect ends, and show a speed weaving technique that will save you time on longer chains. Enjoy! :)

You bring upon this puzzle of perplexity a great degree of clarity well done your Instructions are outstandingly clear and the tips and tricks you presented are really neat as I have seen other videos on the same subject and nobody beats it better to the point showing it going together as you have brilliant just brilliant puts a better spin on a complex puzzle of medieval art

[@darrenstettner5381]

So much easier than trying to figure it out watching montages of people making jewelry.

[@MellowMaliki]

i bought a chainmail starter kit and tried using their online guide. All of my chains came out as tangled messes. Five minutes of watching you work and I now have an actual chain! So excited to start making things, would really love to see a guide on how to integrate scales into a piece.

this video helped me so much!!!!! been researching this weave for last 3 months and couldnt figure it out. you explained it simple enough and i enjoyed using the 2 color ring system to teach. thanks so much!!!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

OMGosh! Can't imagine even trying this with rings smaller than the 5/16, IE 8mm, you used. Sure am glad just invested in the Xuron tweezer nosed pliers, straight and bent, esp. for connecting to ends. Really like the look of this pattern. Your close-up and camera angle really helped me see exactly how to do the pattern. TFS!

[@BonGarner456]

HOLY shiz! I finally found the awesomest video ever! Clear as day..so easy to follow. Thanks a million!

[@timshaw8204]

You're welcome!

took me all night but I FINALLY managed to close my first bracelet :p

[@jenniferwooters9747]

This is so cool. I love it! Going to make a necklace with this pattern for my husband for his birthday!

[@timshaw8204]

Awesome!! :)

[@SpirituallyRefined]

What size rings did you use? I’m at a loss in finding the proper size for this specific weave. Thank you for the simple explanation & demonstration.

[@rosegaither]

Great tutorial. I'm inspired to try, the best one I've seen so far

[@raysylrosa]

Beuatiful man. I stopped paracord and will look for good quality rings to make this stuff. Thx for good video. Greetings from Ray

[@rubyfire317]

Thanks for showing that speed weaving technique! I'm doing a pattern with rubber rings and I had no idea how to weave with unopenable rings!

[@trudybradt6413]

Great video Tim....very clear and easy to follow...thank you for sharing.

[@timshaw8204]

No problem!

[@iseejewelz3874]

Your channel is SO COOL why are you not making videos anymore Love your voice

[@Halloweeniehutjr]

Seriously thank god for you lol some of these tutorials leave a bit to be desired.

[@skeeterdebeaux-stibick7406]

Just a suggestion ❤ Try demonstrating with shower rings ❤ It makes it easier for us to see and follow ❤ Just saying ❤ Thank you ❤

[@HLKIMI]

I enjoy your video making change , ilike most of them.

[@julietobasuyi6150]

Wonderful tutorial

[@erikapaez9156]

Me encanta, disfruto mucho trabajar con argollas. Es relajante para mí. Quiero ver más videos con este tipo de argollas. 👍

[@mistress_hook_fashion]

Thank you! I finally got it!! Your art is beautiful!!!

[@Casey-uk3wy]

Stainless steel or aluminum? Currently using copper and making my own rings

[@elizabethhaddon4169]

Can you use Artistic Wire that comes in colors??? Thank you!!! 😊

[@Angel___00888]

Its very hard to assemble the rings, what about if I put the rings in shellac to hold them while inserting the other ring.....just an idea

[@amiretelsahara8004]

Muchas gracias! Pude armarla con acero de 1cm x 1mm en minutos

[@bestdiycarcustomization941]

So if you wanted to put a clasp on it how would you go about doing that

[@coryswanson1588]

I like your videos. Helpful in so many ways, in the idea of re learning chain mail. But no matter what I still can't this damn pattern down. And I've seen all the tips and tricks. With ten mm jump rings and twelve, I can get it down. But any smaller, yeah not happening for me. An I really like this pattern but can't get the damn thing down. Lol

[@currageco.1986]

Whats a good size ring to do multiple wallet chain styles. I was thinking of getting 16g 3/8 rings to make wallet chains. Is that a good size for most wallet chains? Thank you, love the video

[@michel347]

Dude none of the Rings are soldered

[@LarryDallas]

AWESOME video..

Thank you

[@dragontypetrainerlevi8451]

[@brookemoonier2902]

WhT size are them jump rings

[@rebeccamesser8023]

Tim are you using Gold and Silver plated wire? Or sterling and Gold wire. well rings i mean.

[@timshaw8204]

Очень красиво и сложно

[@hananalordonyaalaordony392]

I love it nice

[@mariluh2467]

Amo jóias, gostaria de ter algumas se pudesse

[@markgreen2058]

What kind of pliers are you using?

[@greywildgreen]

Can you give me an idea how many rings make what length of chain?

[@timshaw8204]

It'll vary depending on the size of ring. Just order lots more than you think you need and make something else with the leftovers ;)

[@wolfscry]

I was wondering where you got your jump rings?

[@timshaw8204]

metaldesignz.com

[@michel347]

Dude you're not even soldering them they're going to fall apart over time

[@b3notafraid960]

It's essentially a byzantine without the extra link in the center.

[@chuckcompton4193]

All tutorials never mentioned outside dimmensions or inside for the rings, that is so frustrating..this is not different.

[@RoseKindred]

The dimensions only slightly matter but can impact the final product. Some weaves require specific aspect ratios or aspect ratio range. In this video, he said he used 16g wire size 5/16" (assuming he bought the rings) the 5/16th" is the dimension of the rod used to form the ring. So 16g 5/16" is an AR of 5.3. Meaning he can also use 18g 1/4" for the same AR or as he showed @ 1:17 he used 20g 1/8", which is an AR of 3.9 I am just a beginner in this, but you can find chainmail weave tutorials that will tell the aspect ratio or you have to do math like above and decide for yourself. Hope this helped somewhat.

[@rwpickels9183]

I'm about a year late and will say The Ring Lord has a good sizing chart.

[@zzathros]

you cant see how you do speed method. you cant see how silver went it. then u go crazy speeding up film.

[@李云-w7k]

Great vid. Just one point. If you, sir, could put "american exceptionalism" aside and start using metric system as %90 of the world, your vid would be even better.

[@BubbleBunnyy]

That’s hard when all you’ve learned is one thing. The metric system confuses me because I was taught a stupid system.

[@李云-w7k]

@@BubbleBunnyy it's not stupid, but it is quite outdated. And is an "inheritance" from time when america was under english thumb.

[@BubbleBunnyy]

@@李云-w7k yea I just really have a hard time grasping the metric system. Idk if I’m just dumb or that’s a common thing for people who have known that their whole life. Whenever someone uses kg or cm I have to translate it on google 😭

[@adriandalebraten358]

You do it to fast, hard to see...

[@Gorgutek1]

WTF XD It's literally the worst and hardest way of doing this weave. There are plenty of different tutorials on YT showing how to actually do it in a human way

[@ImGinaMarie]

Why show us how to speed weave at the end only part way then speed up the video so we can't follow?????DUH!

[@timshaw8204]

It's literally just the same step over and over again, I do show it once in real time. If you need to, just re-watch that a few times until you get it. The only difference between the speed weaving technique is that you put closed rings on the open ring as you weave, so most people don't need to see it repeated in real time after I've already explained how to put the open ring on the chain...
