My resistance welder should arrive tomorrow. Let the experimentation begin!

well we know what you will be doing this weekend.

enjoy

So it takes somewhere between two and three times as long to make welded mail, but it's a hell of a lot stronger than butted rings. This is 5/16", 16 gauge stainless steel.

that looks very interesting and very difficult to do. nice pattern to it, somehow I could see me screwing that up. LOL

looks good.

The pattern is European 4-in-1; the most common pattern for medieval European armour. Each ring links to 4 others. Every now and then I do screw up and have to cut a ring out, then secure a new one in place.

hoping to see Jen CosPlay with this piece, sometime soon. She wanted to try and make the chainmail minidress work for it but I knew that it wouldn't, and so made her the new piece instead.

Also, now that my skills have improved, I'm remaking Sarah's piece for a better fit. Off with the sleeves, better contouring, a scale pauldron for the right arm, and maybe more that we haven't discussed yet.

wow those look incredibly difficult to make. very well done.

The second one is back to make it look even better :)

I thought so but wasn't entirely sure. the accents do add a lot to it.

The first one is made as a base layer for a CosPlay, which is going to have a lot more armour to it. I needed for it to hit the right sexy buttons, without taking away from the rest of the costume ;)
