I accidently put a photo into your file - I am leaving a request for the moderator to remove it, or if you can do so please edit it out of Julios stuff Regards...

I just started a file under KSCA89 - the first picture i sin I had to use a scanner - my digital camera grew feet and waqlked away last month I will try to...
IŽd like to make roman mail but I have several doubts. I suppose Round ring with round section and ID 5-7 mm Solid rings with square section Round rivet...
... On these points: 1. On the left over right overlap info I was told this. It is actually hard to tell from existing examples. 2. Details of the rivets...
I am new here, and obviously a madman for wanting to do riveted maille. ;) I am using rebar wire wound around a 5/16" rod to make my coils. My question is:...
Everything has been going great with getting my rings set to weave except now I am having a problem punching the slit into them for rivits. I have two...
... I am using rebar tie wire if that helps. I think it is about 16 gauge, but I haven't measured it. The ID of the rings I am making is 5/16". 4mm sounds...
... Can you post more pictures? It would also help if you could post some pictures of the punch tip and the hole. From what I can see on the picture, your...
If you are using round ring with overlap, perhaps the rings look better with 3 mm overlap. If the ring is oval, I like more with 4-6 mm. Try several rings and...
From the pic you posted, and from looking at examples here and elsewhere, it appears that the flattend rings others have completed are done as follows: 1. The...
There are a lot of problems with the punch. I had have hundreds with it. - Punch size: the tip must be little, long enough for to though the overlap, and the...
Thanks for all the advice guys, I think I solved it. I took some of the advice and flattened out the overlaps more, and now they punch ok. Looks like I made...
I have been playing around with riveted maille techiques for a while now (about 3 years) but have not mastered a particular procedure yet. Before I invest...
Finally! I have been able to create a nice looking riveted ring. I flattened, overlapped then pierced. I was able to reproduce it 5 times. Now - the final...
So, here are my first two links. On attempt #1 I overpeend the rivet an tore one end of the link, which is barely visible in the picture. Attempt #2 went a bit...
-Good work. I think your rivet are too huge and perhaps too the hole. When you squeeze, the overlap is deformed. It is a lot of iron in so little space. I put...
Julio, How do you get from your step 3 to step 4 in your picture - it appears you cut the ring with the overlap, then you "un-overlap" the ring to flatten it ...
This may or may not be helpful to you, but I'll put it out here just in case. I originally had a lot of trouble flattening my overlapped ends too, they kept...
No, I cut the rings without overlap. I cut( 1) and then push one of the parts , the more down, towards down(2). Then flat(3) and then I push the up side...
... 1/16", or a little under 2mm. I see others have used a 1mm hole and 1mm wire to make a round rivet and the results look very good so i may go that route....
... Thanks for the pitures Pekka. I think I can have one of those made for me. Also, what is the ID of the stamp tool? Regarding the picture in your album...
Check out the new picture in my album. http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/rivetedmaille/photos/view/94d5?b=3 I had some free time and decided to implement some...
You got it. Congratulations. I like more the 4-5 mm overlap, and perhaps a litte less flattening, but it is nice yet. I put in my album my actual punch plier....
Thanks for the tips Julio and Pekka. I think I am well on my way now. While i can see doing a whole coif or hauberk will be tedious, it is not as difficult as...
