Spend 2 minutes with me doing chainmail

Daft Punk W

Make more chainmail clothes

Not me wondering how you do those pattern designs

@bursary05 Per example for the pumpkin teeth area it was mostly removal of the orange rings one by one to then add a black ring and then visualize where the next one should go. It was very tedious

That makes a lot of sense. I can imagine how tedious that must’ve been! Thanks for breaking it down.

I initially just "liked" the post and moved on. But then I sat down and took the two minutes to watch you work your magic

2 mins isnt long enough. Gotta send a full chainmail stream!

This fucking slaps as Monitor #2 during my boring day job.

How many hours a day do you typically work on projects?

Depends how I'm feeling, I take days off because I have numbness in a finger very often, pretty sure it's trauma related because of constant pressure on the pliers lol. Overall it depends, I can go for a full 7 hours straight or I can do only 30 minutes every few hours

I met a couple of guys who would do this a few hours a day while watching Buffy 19 years ago. Interesting experience.

Here’s a cool chainmail fact! The term “chainmail” is actually a bit redundant! The word “mail” comes from the Old French “maille,” meaning “mesh” or “net.” So saying “chainmail” is like saying “chain-chain.” Historically, it was simply called mail or mail armour.👍

Cool, next with riveted links for true protection.

Where did you get your pliers from? They look lije they'd work a lot better than the needle noses I have.

Tronex pliers!

Thank you! My wrists are killing me from the weird way I hold em to get the right twist.

I think my callouses finally went away after doing this as a hobby years ago.

I like to make big chains of singles and roll them in place then when you have two rows of two, four-link them.

Very cool.

I really really really wonder about your will. Cause holy shit I'd die if need to make this

Based

What tools do you use, and where did you get them?

Will you wear what you make ??

why don't you use jigs? you should research them and use them, they will save you so much time and sanity.

Need to get that rune chain mail though..

have you made like a chainmail top for a suit of armor

ASMR Channel incoming?
