There are a lot of ... By: HonorEx. on 29 Jun 10, 01:45:39 There are a lot of people responding saying that butted mail will break too easy when contact is made. This is true to a certain extent. Butted mail does fold under pressure more than riveted or welded, but finding and fixing the problem with butted mail is 100x easier then with riveted or welded. With that said many SCA fighters still use butted mail just for the simplicity of it. I would recommend this type of mail for anyone who isn't payed to reenact for a living. Great Video.

Linking the 4-in-1 ... By: mfumich. on 22 Jul 10, 20:45:51 Linking the 4-in-1 sections as you show from 1:20 to 2:10 is difficult at times. Sometimes I have trouble with the 2 end rings flipping. Linking the next section, as you show from 2:20 to 3:00, is just as difficult. I have found that it is easier, for me, to link the sections in the opposite order. You can make a chain of rings that looks like 2-1-2-1-2-1-2. That would be two 4-in-1 sections side by side instead of stacked. You can make a real long chain like that very fast.
@kurnous34 ... By: mfumich. on 22 Jul 10, 20:31:33 @kurnous34 Spreading the rings can be difficult if you use heavy gauge wire. I use 14 ga and it's nearly impossible to spread the coil. Also, it's very difficult to get a consistent spread even when using light gauge wire. You can't just grabe both ends and pull it apart like a slinky.

By: hugovondragonsfel. on 14 Jun 10, 19:12:23 @klappspatenkamikaze the only way to make mail strong enough to take a strike is to weld or rivet each ring this is very time consuming and like any chain it is only as strong as its weakest link. plus a medieval fighter had lots of padding underneath to take some of the impact but pointed objects at high speed almost always penetrated the good thing about mail is broken bones heal but an infection from an open wound always killed

simple after ... By: hugovondragonsfel. on 14 Jun 10, 18:58:29 simple after cutting your coil free from your arbour. just stretch your coil from one end holding the main coil till you get the required separation then work your way down the length of you coil till you have a uniform gap between each ring. just like when you pull a spring apart. try it you will get the idea
@hugovondragonsfel ... By: kurnous34. on 14 Jun 10, 05:33:58 @hugovondragonsfel that would be fine it would save a lot of time, i just dont know how to do it.

By: kurnous34. on 14 Jun 10, 05:33:25 @tsp312 if you want to make the column 5 pieces wide you add on one extra row. with this method instead of opening and closing everysing ring you only need to open 1 in 5. this saves time and puts less stress on the materia and in no wayh more or less precise than adding one link at a time.
instead of opening ... By: hugovondragonsfel. on 13 Jun 10, 23:04:06 instead of opening each ring why not spread the coil before cutting, that way you would only need to close rings therefore you can reduce working time and limit deformation of each ring due to bending. I spent 3 months making an outfit and I found this worked out very well.
This is called ... By: tsp312. on 13 Jun 10, 00:48:55 This is called butted mail, and there was some of it in medieval times. It can be strong if the links are made of a strong metal and is made right Also, that isn't a good way to make mail, what if you want to make a piece 5 columns wide? The best way to make mail is one link at a time (it is slower but more precise)

By: IcEye89. on 27 Jun 10, 10:46:57 May I ask how you store your mail - yes, I say mail, though that might be just to trigger a letter-mail-post-thingy related pun - I build a stand for mine, but since the stand is almost as tall as I am and the armour is a fullgrown hauberk, it is quite a pain to get it on or off the stand. Also, against the hair getting entangled in the rings whilst putting the armour on or getting it of, well anyhow against that, those padded caps you wear under a helmet work great.

By: paperboard1. on 19 Jun 10, 01:49:32 @lindybeige thank you for the advice, and I saw clip about the shield, I truly did not know that a shield attached with a belt has the worst ability to protect the bearer should one enter a combat alone, another, the sword rested on one's right hip seems to work, but the thing is that is not as popular as the sword that rested on one's left hip and you are you are definitely correct about trying to unsheathe a sword from one's back, but a short sword or a dagger should work with ease, right?

Yes the whole shirt lifts up when you lift your arms, but only from above the belt if you have sufficient overhang. Point being: it weighs on your shoulders, but doesn't otherwise hinder movement. Plus 45 degree pattern looks infinitely better than barrel and straps.

One more point, I ... By: MetalCatharsis. on 24 Mar 10, 02:04:17 One more point, I think their method of shield and sword didn't really call for much lifting of the arms above shoulder level, but that's only speculation.
What I'm saying is ... By: MetalCatharsis. on 24 Mar 10, 02:02:52 What I'm saying is that I'm sure the vikings themselves had such hauberks and that's why said records exist.
Though 45 degree seam shirts do look nice in my opinion. I started making mine with the idea of easy to make sleeves and then realized how cumbersome the shirt would be.

@VtLute Unless ... By: daretotelldatruth. on 06 Apr 10, 05:18:16 @VtLute Unless they've changed it in the past two years that is. But I think a full hauberk takes somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 rings to do it correctly in a 4 in 1 patten. 6 in 1 would take more, and would be heavier. If this is the first thing you've ever made as far as chainmaille goes, I'd say starting with something smaller would be better, some jewelry, or a coif. Large projects like a hauberk tend to be what people want to do first, and it turns then away from chainmaille.
@VtLute If you're ... By: daretotelldatruth. on 06 Apr 10, 05:15:42 @VtLute If you're going to make a full hauberk. one that does from the shoulders down to your mid thighs with full sleeves. I would say a half mile would be the better option. I have bought in total 2 1/4 mile rolls. And with that I finished a shirt that I had started (t-shirt style with 1/2 in rings) and I've gotten the neck, as well as the front and back panels of my first full hauberk (5/16th in rings).

and a 4 in 1 pattern, metal type varies but i find Stainless steel to work nicely because its strong and doesn't need constant looking after, Mild steel will look period and is also strong, but is prone to trust and needs care, Galvanized steel a cheap choice for armor, strong and fairly corrosion resistant,, but when it gets wet white stuff comes off, Aluminum is very dirty.

A maille hauberk would have come down to about knee length, so you basically just needed 'leggings' to cover from mid thigh down to your feet. For how much those suits weighed, they could scarcely afford to add extra weight in redundant layers of maille underneath existing ones.

Here I am out in the snow again, cracking a chainmail bullwhip made by Michael Deveny, alchemaille@yahoo.co m. The whip I have is 60 inches long, plus the fall and cracker and cost $350. Michael also makes 40" and 80" chainmail bullwhips.

@wareswez Sorry ... By: wareswez. on 04 May 10, 23:44:42 @wareswez Sorry ran out of space.. Use a jewellers saw for the ring cutting, its a bit slow but the quality of the results amazing. Although crafting a device to use to cut the rings using a jewellers saw is quite an acheievment ;) I use steel rod that I hacksawed a groove into. This allows me to cut into the coil but hold it steady.
Its a slowly but surely method, but the results are complete closures of the ring barely visible. That is what chainmail should be like.
@panzuman Yeah he ... By: wareswez. on 04 May 10, 23:38:02 @panzuman Yeah he forgot to mention about the rings inner diameter (ID) and the outer diameter (OD). Both of these factors are critical to chainmail design. Many of the chainmail weaves rely on the ID & OD to help hold their form and design. There are many sites out there dedicated to chainmail. I am sure a quick search will prodvide all the info you need.
Best advice I can offer is practice on cheap metal wire, Learn to cut the jumprings cleanly (snips or pliers cannot do this)

It can't stretch in either direction because the weave is so dense. Its also not that flexible in eithr direction. Its perfect for torso, but for sleeves I'll have to loosen it.
If anyone feels my chainmail is inadequate, I challenge thee to a cardboard tube dual!
The weave is going ... By: tsp312. on 13 Jun 10, 00:34:15 The weave is going horizontal, the correct way is vertical. Going horizontal it will not be as dense as vertical (you said you wanted it to be dense) and won't be as flexible.
@JMEMantzel Think ... By: Johtas1. on 24 May 10, 06:55:00 @JMEMantzel Think he just meant historically accurately, they werent the right way. But as you're using them for like exercise, bear-protection and general kick-assery, the grain of the mail is fine : )
the main issue with ... By: hittman627. on 02 Apr 10, 17:22:38 the main issue with the weaves direction is just so that it doesn't expand vertically and stretch out (open up) under its own weight, which you can tell from the video, it is not doing. So in this case, I'd say that the weave's direction doesn't really matter
Depends what you ... By: Alex231291. on 21 Sep 09, 15:54:36 Depends what you want to do with it. For combat, you don't want vertical expansion, it'll expand under it's own weight, and leave you open. If you just want to run around and have fun, it's fine! Just a little pointer, for if you ever decide to sell to the re-enactor's market ^^
people do vertical ... By: gtarbmx. on 04 Sep 09, 16:03:34 people do vertical just for a better fit. but since you have the straps it's better for you because unlike the ren faire people you actually move around and horizontal weaves just won't bounce because there's no room for it.

Especially when working with such fine wire, the opening will meet together, and 2 small gaps are enough for them to fall through

@Blademasta989 I ... By: Mayes041. on 30 Mar 10, 20:41:37 @Blademasta989 I agree with your last sentence. It really trying to compare apples and oranges. I mean put a Persian army in Greece and the Spartans beat the crap out of it with no difficulty. But put a European army in the Middle East and they get effed up (Thermopylae and crusades respectively). Bottom line for this situation I bet the Japanese had the best suited chainmail, but for the Europeans demands their chainmail was superior.
ive worked with the ... By: Blademasta989. on 30 Mar 10, 20:26:14 ive worked with the pattern. meaning, yea, it was butted, and i didnt bother to work ore with it because it was thick, heavy, and yet loose and weak. european is in every way superior to jap mail. dont get me wrong, its still a layer of metal between yourself and a weapon, but given the choice, theres no comparison.
as to the whole "crap armor" thing, it's noteworthy to mention that both Euros and Japs made armor that was a countermeasure to the weapons prevalent at the time.
@Blademasta989
... By: ihaterobbie123. on 30 Mar 10, 16:49:35 @Blademasta989
Wiki "tatami-do" it's the armour style used by the ninja. The chain is closely sewn and muffled.
And when you say you've made it, you'd better not be talking about butted mail because there's all too many "smiths" out there who make chainmail shirts that aren't closed properly.
Also, mail only really gives in to stabs, japanese armour would only use chainmail in places prone to slashing.
I really hope you understand that the japanese didn't wear crap armour for centuries.
ive crafted both, ... By: Blademasta989. on 30 Mar 10, 14:32:13 ive crafted both, and mainly dislike it because of the flat middle ring holding 4 ohers all at different angle. its weaker for the same weight as any european weave.
And for the record, i'd think the last thing a ninja would want is to rattle and chime while they are sneaking about in chain armor. it would make more sense to wear boiled leather or cloth-muffled plates sewn to the leather.
@ihaterobbie123 I ... By: Mayes041. on 30 Mar 10, 03:33:20 @ihaterobbie123 I wouldn't really expect it to be very good stabbing protection, though I don't really consider chainmail in general to be very good protection against stabbing. I think that if your trying to avoid slashes then it would be completely fine. Admittedly I assume it would absorb less blunt force. But yes, thinking about it chainmail is really best against slashes, and the Japanese weaves would be great for that.
@Blademasta989
It ... By: ihaterobbie123. on 30 Mar 10, 01:57:43 @Blademasta989
It also is the standalone protection for large portions of the arms. Not to mention that the ninja had quite a lot of chainmail in their armour as their primary protection.
I don't know why people badmouth japanese chainmail, it was around way before european chain armour and is actually very tough provided it's not butted.

@MrKAMIKAZIS it's good for relistic LARP battles.
By: duvexy. on 15 Jul 10, 17:28:35
That is so very clever. I love the variable speed drill you got there. What gauge wire are you using?

Guys i have a question:Why should someone make a chainmail vest???He will go to the crusades?? Consider about the time and think whether it's worthwhile or not......I mean what's the actuall purpose of making one?? To admire it on room's wall??

Ungalvanized wire? How do you keep the mail from rusting?
By: sengfar964. on 12 Jul 10, 04:00:40
@kurnous34 oh, well nevermind my comments from earlier
By: Nshadd2455. on 12 Jul 10, 01:21:34
I really need help finding this wire! i cant find ungalvanized electrical fencing wire online anywhere.
By: kurnous34. on 11 Jul 10, 20:13:03
@sengfar964 no it doesnt, on average for me one suit took 7 weeks. took less if i invested all my free time into it
By: kurnous34. on 11 Jul 10, 05:47:47
@sengfar964 no it does not

There are a lot of people responding saying that butted mail will break too easy when contact is made. This is true to a certain extent. Butted mail does fold under pressure more than riveted or welded, but finding and fixing the problem with butted mail is 100x easier then with riveted or welded. With that said many SCA fighters still use butted mail just for the simplicity of it. I would recommend this type of mail for anyone who isn't payed to reenact for a living. Great Video.
By: KrahulikIsGod. on 26 Jun 10, 04:30:16
@kurnous34 that's very true, now that i think about it. EVERYONE IGNORE ME. also, thank you for posting these videos! i always assumed making chain mail would be really really tough and labor-intensive but really all this would take is some patience and practice. :D
By: kurnous34. on 25 Jun 10, 23:00:17
@KrahulikIsGod true but i dont approve of wooden rbs, they will warp break and you wont get evenly sized rings
By: KrahulikIsGod. on 25 Jun 10, 05:40:55
@kurnous34 another really good place to find wooden dowling is at hobby stores

I made a little piece of chain mail in art class with pliars, wire, and a pencil lol it's probably a lot harder than this guy's method

the drill is a great idea, it makes the coiling go so much faster. my dad wont let me make chainmaille though...
By: gokulou1. on 14 May 10, 17:51:18
Can you use galvanized wire? and if so what would the difference be?
