I FINALLY finished my chain mail shirt after like a year and a half. No, that wasn't all work time. Alot of breaks in between. Wish I had kept track of how many hours it took.


European 4 in 1 weave
made from 10AWG 3/8" bright aluminum rings, anodized aluminum for color, and brass for trim.




~20,000 rings total
weighs in at 22.2 lbs
$350 in materials.

After making one of these, I can see why places charge $1000 and up to make 'em.
