Wow, that's really impressive! I know there are a couple of different methods for closing the links—including drilling a tiny hole and then hammering a pin in each link, which sounds crazy to me— but how do you do it? |

Looks interesting. I hope you do a bit every now and then, otherwise it will drive you insane. What's the idea, btw, just a piece of chainmail, a complete hauberk, or something else? What are you useing for this, thick wire? Good luck and looking forward to seeing more. |

That looks so repetetively boring to do though. Must be a bit like painting hundreds of the same orcs over and over. |

I've done a few full days solid of it and now I've ran out of wire.  @aquan: im planning on making either a hauberk or a headpiece depending on how long it takes before it drives me mad  @ DMS: I'd take the orcs anyday!
