Hi,everybody, if someone is here yet :) Like we know, the solid ring is expensive and usually the diameter isnīt good for us. I made a tool for to make solid...
Yes, maese Pekka. I had used the old flattening tool, and I only made the punch and the hole or receptable for the washer. Before the hit with the hammer, I...
Well, I only made 60-70 ring at the moment but it is easy and quick, about 20-30 second every procedure. I think the big ring is more weak because the width;...
not sure if these would be anything you could use, but The Ring Lord ( www.theringlord.com ) has 0.04" diameter 1/4" ID punched Galvy rings for $10.00/pound...
Thanks, David. These are really good prices but I was looking for stranger diameters like the little solid rings, with 5 mm internal diameter. So little nobody...
Hi Julio! I saw your piece of maille for the test too, beautiful stuff, congratulations. And the best is, that I supposed the mail to be from you before I read...
Hi,Haiko. How long time! Thanks a lot but I see my rings near, very near and they arenīt so good.You are very kind. "And you only need a hammer strike to...
OK...I understand. Seems I have to look for shops like that in germany. Only two additional questions: at what temperature und how long do you anneal the...
... what temperature und how ... I use a gas torch until the washer is red and then it cool slowly, but in a future, Iīll send the washers to the places where...
Hi, and good luck surviving this monday I added a gallery to this group. It contains pictures of how did my first rivetted avantail grow. 1.2 mm rebar tie wire...
Thanks :) Well, I won't be able to make some closeup pictures until tomorrow evening. The helmet is a variation of bascinet made by latvian armorsmith who...
This is quite timely looking at these photos...I have a sort of related question I have been working on a riveted coif. I want to weave it into a shirt as an...
-Nice work, Juods.How do yo make the rings? Wayne, Iīm no sure I understood the problem. If you make a T-shirt like the A4, you can fix the mantle easily ...
Thank you for your input - I actually feel more confident making the square necked shirt anyway as I have made them before and my pattern works - You see, I...
A closeup has been added to a gallery: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/rivetedmaille/photos/view/cc23?b=10 And btw - the tools came from one of our members -...
yes true but you are attaching a round piece to a square hole which means you have a lot of tailoring at the interface (the lower neck). If you make a mantle...
Hi everyone again. I am trying to make a more authentic mail so I need to get a convex zone in the back. Well, this is the first attempt and I think it isnīt ...
Thanks, Joris. Really like my usual peening tong. It is in Julio stuff. It is almost the same but with two little concave zones, one with the hole for the...
Hi, riveted group. More works and sorry if I am a little heavy but nobody wants to know about rings except the group. I had finished a hauberk with riveted...
William, I am rather new to riveted mail, but i have been doing butted mail for over a year and a half now. the other week i went ahead and ordered the black...
Well, when I started making riveted mail, I started with 16 gage tie wire and I have found the finished rings to be a little large, the 18 gage wire should...
Hi Rex. .048" wire is what you will need for rings of about 3/8"-5/16" inner diameter. The overlap should be about 3mm at most. Remember, riveting mail is...
... wire before flattening. Beside them are the front and back portions respectively, of the maille riveted. I also included a sample wedge rivet I use and...
Thanks, William. I was just worried once I recieved the wire about how thin it looked to me... but thanks for the reassurance. I will be winding rings in...
Your're welcome Rex. Just happy to pass along what I was taught. I also liked the idea of making my own tools, and have done so with some success. I found ...
I definitely have taken the time to look at all of the pictures on this site. Like I said, they are all worth the time spent looking at them. The only thing...
Hi Rex. 3/8" is definately on the extreme end of period maille. 5/16" or smaller is more common (the photos I had posted are of that diameter, same .048" ...

Interesting point. The predominance of direction of overlap must have something the do with favouring one hand over the other. I cannot simply see what would...
