ThomasPowers Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Smelting is a specialty item and very few do it; why we all would meet up at Pennsic to do it. We had people from a number of kingdomes that would participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MailleMas Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Here are two micro maille pieces I made years ago. Both are 24g (0.02" wire) and 1/16" ID rings. The ring is sterling silver and the tetrahedron is anodized titanium. The little tetrahedron fits on an a poker chip and can hold a couple pounds before sagging...

JHCC Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I like to blacksmith, and my wife likes to knit -- we're what you call a "steel wool couple". That gave me the idea for knitting maille on circular needles: (Just a bit of fun with garage door spring and copper wire left over from an electrical project.)

I love chain maille, just don't have the time to try it. I'll just keep marveling at the cool stuff here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimm1966 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I know this is pretty old post, but here is an example of mail I have made. It's made from 16 gauge wire, punched with a modified nail set, and riveted with triangle rivets made from the same wire. The links are a bit big with an OD of around 12mm, kind of outside of the historical norm. To set the rivets I used an old pair of clinchers that was made by Steve of Forth Castle when he was still making them. I would still like to get the process better and more historical at some point.

paradox1559 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Here's my book bag, it used to be a shirt, but I figured I would get better use out of it this way. It uses galvanised steel, with copper for the inlay. I can't remember the sizes though, its nearly 10 years old and still used without fail. Empty, it weighs 8lb.
