can't believe you uploaded chainmail tutorials just when me and my friends got interested in using it for cosplays. this must be fate.
Thank you for the permission to leave the armpits open, this is not sarcasm, I’ve been trying to figure it out and this helped me be like, eh, it’s not that big of a deal lol looks so good!
It’s so much more comfortable that trying a bulky closure there!
My combat mail is made from steel, and it weighs out at 38lbs from 8 gauge wire. I love seeing stuff like this, i build combat armor, and its awesome to see others make armor. Even being aluminum, i could see this stopping an arrow, or a knife or sword tip. Maybe not for long, but it looks functional. Awesome work.
Nicely done! Saw cut aluminum rings, quite the extravagance...
Went to a Ren Fair about a month ago with my older two boys. A friend of my oldest son had made himself a long sleeve Hauberk (for LARP'ing) out of 1/4" diameter, 18ga machine cut aluminum rings (also from the Ring Lord). He's a welder by trade and he TIG spot welded every single ring shut! He said he'd been to too many LARPing events were people would have aluminum mail that was falling apart, so when he was making his Hauberk, he'd weave X number of rings, then TIG them all closed before he'd do more weaving.
A crap ton of work, but in the end it was a light, great looking and relatively durable bit of kit. I did ask him why he didn't just buy one of those riveted aluminum shirts that are made in India or Pakistan and are sold all over the Internet. He replied that he just wanted the satisfaction of making his own, but mostly he wanted to be able to tailor it to his body. Being 6' 5" tall and a muscular build, I could see his point.
Anyway... Nice job on your shirt. Lots of work for sure, I've only ever made a few coifs (one from split rings) and tailored a cheap butted steel ring shirt. Couldn't imagine doing an entire shirt.
Great to see young people carrying on with this...
Literally making this for my partner now and needed this so bad. Thank you!!!!
yayyyy!! I hope it can help!
How's it coming along?
Saviour of the crafting crowds, thank you
This video is exactly what i was looking for, iam currently working on my first chainmail shirt and had no idea how to connect the arms but only ataching them on 3 sides makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
Can you teach how to do the neat looking trim edge of the V-neck?
Thank you!! I hadn't even considered the direction of the weave! so this is fabulous.
I've been informed by my colleagues that the correct terminology is 'open' and 'closed' where I was referring to them as vertical and horizontal!
thank you for the tutorial!! I'm going make a chain mail skirt for my LOTR Fountain Guard armour.
I saw a grwm where HoneySwords was wearing a really cool belt that you made, where the chainmail came down in sort of a triangle shape by the hips. Could you do a quick pattern tutorial like this one? I’d love to make one, but the video is so fast, I can’t quite see directionality and fastenings used.
this was a really clear and helpful tutorial!! I've been really enjoying all of your chainmail vids :)
Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for a tutorial exactly like this! This is immensely helpful.
Ahhh, thank you for making this!! I have been thinking more and more about wanting to try out making chain mail pieces! A lot of your construction talk really reminded me about knitting garment construction too.
im glad it's even semi helpful! I'm pretty much self taught so I always feel like I have no idea what im talking about!
Fantastic! My main question had been about how to connect the sleeves to the torso- I love to have permission to leave the armpit open! (And historically accurate, haha!) Thank you!
The reference shots 🤌 Invaluable!
I'm revamping an earlier attempt at a hauberk I made some years ago and this is exactly the resource I needed, thanks for making this!
This is something I've always wanted to learn since I was a kid, thank you so much!!!
That's amazing. Well done.
It's gorgeous!
It’s beautiful 👌
Very nice
Haven’t seen anyone mention the orientation of the rings, very insightful!
Very clear for me to understand, can't wait to finally be trying my hand and making some chainmail that actually fits (though making the 4 in 1s is pain for the thumbs XD)
You done well
3:31 can confirm after finding about why it is so important to make the "tube" wider then your shoulders
it was not fun adding more rows to my shirt lol
Sooo nice video
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤❤
That' s interesting making a chainmail 👕.
You know that
I like you 😍😍😍
My dad will love this, hes a lotr nerd just like me
This is AMAZING! I just got a bunch of rings, and I have just begun to make them into a patch for the moment, but cannot wait to continue the full design! This video and your European 4-in-1video literally convinced me that I could do this and have been all that I've needed!
One question I do have for people is what they tend to wear underneath chainmail. Do you go with a gambeson of some sort or just a regular light shirt? And does that affect the sizing in a super noticeable way? Thanks!
I'm not personally a fan of gambesons because I find them too bulky and hot so I usually just wear some sort of lightweight linen shirt or something. if you do plan on wearing a thicker layer you definitely need to size your shirt to whatever layer you wear underneath!
@@laurendoescosplay Awesome! Thank you so much for the advice and the videos!
How do you make (or just get your hands on) all the rings?
Hi , I'm from Tamilnadu , I was randomly scrolling down I found your video , where can this chainmail is used other than cosplay , really nice
6:23 I gotta say that I wish there was a hot debate after seeing the gap in the armpit.
I love your vids, I saw you on tik tok and you inspired me to get into making chainmaille! Thank you! I did have one question. Is your mannequin your size? Or is it for illustration purposes. I would imagine that it would be helpful. So just wondering. Thanks!
Oh my goodness thank you so much!! Unfortunately neither of my mannequins are my size, they’re both a few sizes smaller than me which is a shame because it WOULD be very helpful to have a mannequin perfect to my measurements 😅
That was impressive work! Have you contacted any historian? It’d be neat to see both of you discussing best and historical methodology for shirt Mail construction.
thank you so much! I'm actually not someone who cares very much about historical accuracy but I know a lot of people do which is why I mentioned that bit about the armpit part
@@laurendoescosplay well, I have 2 medieval ages historian friends, and I’m pretty sure they’ll love to view this video, and listen to your opinions on “best practices” when building one. I’ll send them this video, surely they’ll like it. Oh, and what a lovely Middle Earth map! 😍
Nice sword on the wall.
Your wall is a lotr map? Sweet
❤❤❤👍
Beautiful...........I watch till ❤ 6.45 ,,,!,little bit busy im
I am attempting to make myself a chainmail shirt, but the sleeves always somehow end up not matching up correctly and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions?
So, I used the same size rings and my rings are opening back up. I asked the Chainmaille group and they said the size I’m using is too small.
Is 16g diffrent from 16swg?
Thank goddness you exist to pass this knowledge along
how long did such a creation take to make lovely lady :)? Looking to embark on my own build, trying to gather info !
Does the direction of the chainmail matter in terms of making it? I've been making mind with the more horizontal pattern in mind but yours is vertical. Is it just personal preference or is it better to do it in the longer "vertical" way yours is?
it really depends on the project! the direction for the hauberk I would say is technically "correct" to have them hanging vertically on the body and horizontally on the arms. But I've done other projects and switched up the direction, so I think it comes down to personal preference and the look that you're trying to achieve :)
Something you didn’t discuss in this video was expansions and contractions. It looks like you used them to tailor the midsection. These aren’t terribly difficult to use, and can make a really nice product.
Also many people prefer to use sleeve that are oriented the other direction. This requires a 45 degree joint at the front and back.
Tutorial on v-neck finish please ❤
Hi! I haven't actually tried it yet (haven't gotten that far in the project) but studying 8:21 on the left side, it looks almost like they use 3-in-1s as opposed to 4-in-1s? The one corner of each unit is missing, creating that almost stair like pattern down. Maybe you build out the straps until you want to start the v-neck and creep inwards using that method? Just theorizing.
How do you shape it to the body without it sort of bunching up? Cos it looks narrower in the waist?
it's just the way it falls! the whole midsection is the same size, just the direction that the rings fall it sort of curves to your body
@@laurendoescosplay that's so interesting! And kind of give me more confidence I'd be so worried it would just look like a tube 😂
How heavy was this? Just to have a ballpark in how many to order
It’s about 10lbs and my rough estimate is about 20,000 rings!
Nice Chainmail, BUT ...
HOW CAN I GET THAT GREEN DRESS?❤🔥
i made a triangle for my armpits
The part below the waist, in the front right in the middle…looks kind of like a frown? What is that? Is that a design or something printed on your dress form?
Is it possible to do it freely or do you need a mannequin for support ? Thank you so much for this video ❤
definitely do not need a mannequin! I just have it here for display purposes :)
TFS ❤🫶🏻
