Chainmail Armor

Description:

From the Celts of 300 BC to 18th century Asia, chainmail armor was one of the most prized items a warrior could own. The "Foe of Swords " probably derived the name "mail" from the Latin "Macula" meaning net. This shirt features 16 gauge links combined in the "international" pattern, with 4 links through a 5th, which was common to all European mail. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • Making The rings
  • Drill the hole at the end of 3.8 dowel.
  • Place the dowel in the drill and thread the wire
    around the hole.
  • Now start your drill and spin it slowly. The
    wire will grab around the dowel and looks like a
    spring. Continue this process till the end and
    keep the coil as tight as possible.

    and using the mini bolt cutters, cut along the
    length of the spring.

    and hook four rings onto it.
  • Take the opened ring and hook it down and up
    through the two rings on the top of the 4 in 1.
  • Place the bottom two rings of the top 4 in 1 over
    the opened ring.
