if any one is experimenting with doing this themselves and wants to try different sizes. you can get a good idea of if the links you want to use are the right size by dividing the thickness of the wire by the thickness of the rod the wire was wrapped on. you want it to be around 2.5 . the first chain in this video is a 5mm rod and 2mm wire which is 5/2=2.5 . the second chain is 7.5mm rod and 3mm wire which is 7.5/3=2.5 .the chain from the first video is a1.2mm wire on a 3.2mm rod which is 3.2/1.2=2.6 thank you for the videos they were super help full and i had fun making one
pvt badtouch thank you for working out the maths great work and I’m so happy you tried to make one and was successful in doing so that’s great keep up the good work
You're describing the Aspect ratio ( AR) of the jump rings used. Be careful though as Springback means that different metals produce different sized jump rings when produced in the same wire guage and formed around the same sized mandrel, so consistency in jump ring size is only guaranteed when you make your jump rings from one metal. If you're creating chain designs that use different metals together like bicolour and tricolour rope chains, make a test run of jump rings when the size of jump ring is critical to the design and measure the wire diameter and internal diameter of say 10 rings from each batch, as different size rings will affect the tightness of the finished chain. As you can see the smaller the Aspect Ratio, the tighter is the finished chain. Beginner chainmaille makers come across this issue when making, say for example, Byzantine chains, where there is only +/-0.3 tolerance in the AR for this particular pattern to produce it's sumptuous effect. Too tight and the chain will be harder to execute, and may be too stiff. Too loose and the pattern will not hold its shape, and the chain may not be as strong. Tight results look crisper and more professional.
I've done it finally not as sharp as yours a few mistakes but I've done it😎. I cannot thank you enough ..😎i will definitely be trying your other chains.. you're video's helped more than most. Thanks again ..
Love your work,I’d love to learn don’t suppose you need a apprentice lol I’m not a jeweller love to watch an would love to learn, thank you so much for making and sharing your videos ☺️👍🏻
How do you figure out the link size, vs wire thickness??? I tried doing a heavy copper one, but after my 4th or 5th link, it wouldn’t fit anymore links.
LegendofAkaiyus yes I have done be for but much more work and I was asked why I didn’t make it solid that’s in a anther video in silver thank you be well
How many rings are actually holding the chain? Im asking cause i lost like 2 circles on the fastening, is it possible only one ring is soldered on mine 0,3 cm valis chain?
Precision Ink Tattoos & Piercings sorry friend not for sale and here in the UK we only use 9 k 18k I just wanted to do a video for TH-cam it’s not my business I work for some one else but thanks for watch and commenting
Awesome tutorial one of the best I've seen. What would you say the overall weight in ounces would be on a 22 inch length 14 mm. The one made with 3 mm wire.
questions can a single closed jump ring be used instead of 2 soldered and how will it be if I were to use 6 or 12 gage recycled electrical wire still will like to try this it will be awesome as Christmas is on it's way
I did make a hrest looking chain out of 12 gage electrical wire and looks great i will send uou a photo of it its the first one I ever made with your help thank you Mr huss
Спасибо за видео, подскажите пожалуйста коэффициент - соотношение диаметра проволоки и диаметр ригеля. И вопрос ещё один, это вам заказывают из меди ? Или вы просто для примера сделали цепочку из меди?
Hello. For the beginners in chainmail can you please just tell us the gauge and size of the rings we should buy to make this beautiful weave. Thank you for your video, it is fabulous.
Somebody noted that he used jump rings with an aspect ratio of 2.5 or 2.6. You can get pdf tables from decent suppliers e.g. The Ring Lord in the US that list the ARs of the rings according to guage and ID. It has to be said that metric measurements makes AR easier to calculate than US AWG/Imperial, but good suppliers will list those equivalents. I'd try it out in copper first so that you can see what it may look like before going with anything expensive.
Sophie Shields I only made videos I know of the sizes to use that’s why it’s a good idea to do a short chain as a sample a work it out from there Thanks for your feedback
@@dazzlingdesignbydd6001 you can use 1mm wire or 1.1 mm wire but it matters on the size of jump ring all ways make a sample to see what size you come up with
@@MadeByHuss hi my friend, I need your help for a moment :) what would you advise me? I would like to make the rope chain with a 2.0mm wire on a 5.0mm mandrel. How many meters of wire do you think I need to make a chain about 70 cm + a bracelet with about 20cm in total about 90cm?
LLord Frost sorry just noticed your comment there are two sizes of triplets it’s the small one the thick end is 12mm and goes down to 5mm and the gap is about 4mm on the link I’m sure I say it in the video and the gap can be adjusted you can make bigger if it’s tight or smaller if it’s lose
Man I am surprised at how sturdy I THOUGHT the Rope chain was and really it's not.. It's not connected rather than soldered. Unlike a Cuban or curb or Hermes or anchor link chain where you just have a link attach to the next. The links on a rope chain aren't really connected as much as they are soldered together :/
May be not as much as a Cuban but if the rope chain is solid it will be strong enough if you notice I solder both sides of the chain thank you for your input
Rope chain has been made by hand and soldered for many many years without laser welders or other types of technology, the tech simply makes the manufacture faster
If you understand Aspect Ratio = Inner Diameter÷ wire diameter, you can choose from the wire thickness of your choice. Google "Aspect Ratio Calculator Chainmaille" and use one of the several available to find your ideal choice. Someone noted that Huss uses an aspect ratio of 2.5 or 2.6 in this design.
Rope chains are my favorite. Their intricacy fascinates me
Thanks for watching

Thank you bro

So you pull the rings apart rather than twisting and don't close them?
How many meters do you pull to make a 60 centimeter chain? Excellent work! Congratulations!
My maths is not that good I all ways make a sample of about 2or 3 inches weight it and work it out from there
Nice work. Thank you

I just have one question. How do you figure out how much you open each link?
Depends on the size so I just make a practice one like a sample and work from there
Another interesting video!Nice one!
Yes very good! :)
How do you figure out the link size, vs wire thickness??? I tried doing a heavy copper one, but after my 4th or 5th link, it wouldn’t fit anymore links.
Rob Howe check out the comments some one work it out but Ivan tell you this if you fined it to tight make the gap on the line bigger that should help
how much wire would i need? i was thinking of trying to do a silver rope bracelet around 20cm in length with 1.5mm wire
well i never know to begin with i all make a sample like 2 or 3 inches weight it and that will give me a idea where to start
Hi is there any reason you're not/people don't close the links shut as they keep going forward?
I think then it would be a twist chain and not a rope chain thanks for watching
Do u think paste solder is strong enough for a technique like this
Yes I do you may have to use a lot of it which will cost a lot
This would drive me batty
Thank u.......Already wait next video

How do you determine the thickness of the rods and the wire to make the metal links? I want to try making an alpha brass chain.
How much will it cost to make a 10mm 10k yellow gold figaro or rope chain at 26”?

No I just use copper to get the size I want but it can be plated
