Hi - Im new here - but I have registered acc about year ago and reading the posts... and my question is... Anybody still looking here sometime? Last messages...
Hi and welcome. Yes, there should still be people reading the messages posted here. Never forget that this list is about riveted maille. So if you want to see ...
Well, hey, I can do that. Anyone have pictures of a working piercing drift for wedge-rivets, from multiple angles? Mine isn't working quite right (it doesn't...
Thanks, I'll give that a try. And the receiving hole on the other side - is it better to have a tight fit to the bit, or for there to be space to accomodate...
I´m with Joris. I think your punch is a little thick, and perhaps your rings isn´t enough soft. I use a 1'5 mm drill filed,like a screwdriver, with more or...
how do i do the riveting and still form a sheet of chainmaille...i'm looking to create my own haubergeon, but no one seems to have details on how to do riveted...
Welcome to the group. To form a sheet, just proceed as with the modern butted maille. You can find plenty of tutorials on the web. Just search for "tutorial"...
I think it's best to proceed in patches, and the 'knit' the patches together, I usually go 9x9 untill I can put 3 up and 2 across. -Justin -- "Badly!" ...
Somebody has used solid ring from "Theringlord" or Seastrom?. I´m asking because a friend is worry about the rust in his mail. They sell the solid ring like...
... I got the solid rings from the ring lord in the past. Mild steel for my hauberk, there was a bit of rust on them, but nothing that will corrode the ring...
Julio, I have bought solid rings from Seastrom. They are mild steel but are very shiny and look stainless, and come with a special lubricant that is rust...
I got 25,000 rings, roughly 8mm ID 10mm OD .1730 thick for $250 shipped. I wouldn't buy from them unless I needed at least 15,000 rings though, if you aren't...

Thanks everyone! I´ll tell to my friend. And I didn´t know that site, Pekka. And it is in Europe, so the mail will be cheaper. Maese Pekka: Of course, you...
... Thanks for the suggestion, those rings are a little small. 9mm to 9.5mm would be the ID range I would need. It seems picky, but if I'm going to pay for...
I use these flat washers for solid/riveted maille and they seem to be fine - Yes they can rust differentky than the other rings but if you treat the maille...
If I was to run mild steel rings through a tumbler, would that help prevent rust? -Justin -- "Badly!" [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
... Of course. If you want, I would like help with a tutorial. It is simple. First, look in the photos, "Julio stuff". Look in "solid ring", "solid rings I and...
... That is unless your email gets rejected for being spam... I'm going to have to call them. -Justin [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
