Chain Maille Introduction

Posted on Feb 11, 2007

I'm going to be rambling on and on about chainmaille.

"So what exactly is chainmaille?" you might ask.

You know the armor the knights wear in movies like "Dragon Heart" "Beowulf & Grendel" and "Braveheart"? The ones with all the little circular links? Yep, that's chainmaille.

Now, I don't claim to be a pro at it, but I have been doing it for over six years now, and I have yet to sit down and complete a full set of armor. Are you kidding me?!?!?! One 4 in 1 (four other loops in one ring) Bracelet took me six hours for a little rectangle 2 inches by 9.5 inches. I have yet to find a reason, other than Ren Faires that I would need a shirt with 20000 holes in it that weighs almost fourty pounds. Though it would be cool to wear around...
