A Chainmaille Craftsman Is In Your Neighborhood

[kanonkross]

I am open for business again this year, as I haven't had any luck with my other trades as of recent.

My prices are fair and my work is of high quality. Since I am sure that 95% of my work would be done in rubber rings, it should be even faster than my previous work and require much less maintenance for the end product.

I don't have any pictures on me of my products, nor do I have a camera, but I assure you that European 4-in-1 is very simple, and any accessories you would want are made easily enough, such as Persian 6-in-1 Worm weave. I have made plenty of both in the past.

If you are interested, give me a call at 317-840-4222. The name's Ben Kleman.

Rubber rings aren't Dag legal, I'm afraid.

You'd have to go with aluminum? Or you just can't use anything heavy?

[Kotaro]

It has to be a period metal, i.e. iron, steel, brass, bronze, etc., and the wires have to be a minimum of 16-gauge.

in other words, Aluminum is also not allowed, for the record.

I have no problem with this except for the time investment to profit comparison. Don't get me wrong, I love the hobby, but the rings cost a lot for mentioned materials.

Accessories like armguards, purses, etc are still open. Just call. Thanks for the info guys. And yea, I do have access to period metals.

I made my own 4 in one.
All I did was buy 16g steel wire.
I spun it myself into a coil using a home made rig.
Then I cut it into rings and put it together.

It was an experiment to see if I could do it.
All the materials cost about $60.
If I charged time plus material I could've made like $110 off the vest.

For me it was worth making but the time it took wasn't worth it to me.
It was a fun little craft.
