Now I just have to work out the best way to do the thumb. It involves a 45 degree weave, which has been busting my brain. Even doing "Dragonscale", which is a captive ring weave, is easier on the head.

How the hell did you get Rhianna to pimp your stuff?!?!?! I mean, giving her the false impression it would work against Chris Browns pimp hand was a smooth move...but DAYUM man!

Same way you get her to drop her pants; a big blunt and a bottle of Hennessy.

Now I've started making my personal anti-zombie suit out of 12 gauge bright aluminum. Anodizing: It's not just for motorcycles anymore.

Nice design! You should do one with a gold lion rampant on a field of azure.

That was actually my clan's armourial bearing, some 20+ years ago. The current clan chief's bearing is this bloody thing with a heart, a couple of nails, some crowns, and a deer's head that I wasn't going to try to do in 1/2" wide rings.

And I don't do super hero costumes

I finally got a halfway decent cutting rig put together. By dropping down to the basement a few times, yesterday, I managed to cut something like 6000 rings (4000 in 1/4" 16 gauge aluminum and 2000 in 3/8" 12 gauge aluminum).

Sorry AMJ, I still haven't managed to cut stainless or Ti. I could probably make a chainmail palm that could be sewn to a glove for oyster shucking though, in 1/4" aluminum.

The first anti-zombie product is ready to go. It's aimed at the fashion conscious zombie fighter, so it's a bit of a compromise.

Hopefully it will be used as a prop in the next season of "Standard Action", a Dungeons and Dragons themed web comedy series that's produced by a group in Vancouver.
