I will join my follow hatrackers by agreeing with them.

Quite beautiful.


If you hadn't said I don't think anyone may have guessed the class where you learned to do that.

There's a photo of my latest project (a variation on the same weave) at the bottom of this post.

Well, I'm not very tall . . . but no.

FYI, all of these so far are in aluminum, which is both cheap and very easy to work with.

Ever think about trying key rings? You can buy rings in bulk at craft shops, and they come in various sizes. It might be a way to make steel mesh without needing an anvil.

There are suppliers (like urbanmaille, and theringlord) who sell rings for chain mail in everything from plastic, copper, silver, gold, steel, niobium, and a couple of others. For learning, though, (which is where I still am with this) aluminum is the most practical. Easy to bend and inexpensive.

I intend to try copper next, even if I have to make some of my own rings. I know how to do that, too.
