So I got sick of rockin' around in stage blacks and borrowed armour, so I started making chainmail a few weeks ago. But jesus christ this shit is time consuming with the European 4-in-1. Also, pic related has been the bane of my existence; can't get rid of it without fkn remaking that part of the chain.


Question though; how long should my strands me? I've been making them the width of my shoulders (largest part it'll have to fit over) but I'm not sure if that's correct and I'm doing more work than necessary.
Also, fuck, I think I'm the only chainmaille faggot at my larp who's actually making their own. I see people with store brought shit, and selling pieces for crazy prices. I may actually just knock out a few coifs and sell them at over a hundred a pop; people would actually buy them.
