Full View and Total Rings/Expense for Chainmail

Chainmail Joe Rings, extra bright aluminum, really shiny and attractive when you're done with the project use them. They bend or fold easily and leave no mess. Over the past few months I've been making this into a chain mail shirt for the various cosplays featured in this review and if you're looking to make something similar here are the details I'm sure you'll want to know: * To make this shirt it took me 5 Bag of these special rings (i.e. 15,000 rings) and as a beginner it took me 150-175 hours to complete (I have factored in the time spent). The guide I used (Chainmail101 website) suggested this would take considerably less time, but as a beginner you will need about the same time as me as there are tricky parts you don't count on until you start with it. .* Any tongs will work, but get a pair of tongs that are comfortable to hold. Don't worry about any of those bead ring opening/closing tools, they're nowhere near as good as 2 pairs of pliers. a short-sleeved shirt that falls 5-6 inches below the waist. Dishwashing liquid. These rings are perfect for this type of project because the finished product looks truly amazing and is a joy to look at right after. The whole process of ring weaving is a very relaxing pastime in itself. It will take patience to complete a project like this, but don't let that put you off. I highly recommend Joe's chain mail rings although I have not used rings from other sellers.

Pros
  • Wire 14AWG/16SWG or 1.6mm diameter
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
