Real man's handicraft!

Taught myself to weave chain mail today. Was all done by hand. Spun and cut my own rings as well.

Yeah that stuff is awesome. I've always wanted to build a forge and craft some weapons. I keep telling myself my next house I'm going to make sure it has the space to do it. Right now my garage is just big enough for my gym.

What are your plans to build first with the chain mail?

Seeing as those two pieces took around 3 hours to make and weave the rings, it'll probably just be small stuff for now ( jewelry and such). Could turn in to some spare cash eventually though. I've read that full shirts go for a grand or more, and given the time it would take I can see why.

Already getting faster with this. First shot was just a random weave I tried working with. The last two are just a traditional English 4 in 1 pattern, first as a flat weave and second rolled into a boxed 4 in 1.
