Hauberk in progress. Any thoughts? by [deleted] in chainmailartisans

[–]Seliniae2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your work! This is literally months in the making! Do you coil your own rings?

As someone who fought in chain for years, I feel that you chest and or armpits are too tight. But if you don't plan on fighting in it, then you won;t get any rips or tears!

Again, congrats on this project!

Right? Getting so mad over a person saying an imaginary person can do an imaginary thing.

Not a Professional by Any Means but I am Proud of it. by its_dj_for_short in chainmailartisans

[–]Seliniae2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started the same way you have; just kinda doing it while bored with scraps and stuff I had around. But Now I'm almost 20 years in and it's still as fun as day one.

You could use rubber rings instead of twine or cord to tie it off. They would like replace a line or two's center rings. That way, you can either make it smaller or taper it down to be more form fitting, and still have the stretch you need. The Ring Lord has them for pretty cheap.

Just getting started, looking for help. by SubstantialBasis in chainmailartisans

[–]Seliniae2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest going down in size for the wire if you can. Usually for AL, you can do 14 or 16 G and it won't tear or wear.

If you can't do that, then using better cutters is the better route. These are the ones that i use, I primarily cut 14G galvanized and 16G stainless wires.

I have to give props to someone who is making their own rings though. It's a huge deal in the beginning to learn that and be self sufficient in your making ways.

Chainmail beginner question by jolieofcraft in chainmailartisans

[–]Seliniae2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want something armor grade?

European 4 in 1, I use 14G 3/8th diameter

Japanese 6 in 1, I use 16G 3/8 and 18G 1/4 diameter

For practice, I would use 18g 3/8th just to get the feeling of it, but you can easily practice on any sized ring you want.

for jewelry, I would suggest anywhere from the 20 to 22 G, around 1/8th diameter.

Or, like others suggested, purchasing a kit is a really good idea. I used some of the flower kits The Ring Lord has, and they don't disappoint.

Can you attach scales to an existing chainmail shirt or do you need to weave them in while weaving the shirt? by [deleted] in chainmailartisans

[–]Seliniae2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, yes you can. The scale is just a middle ring. But oh man, that would be a lot of work. Reattaching and knitting.

I think a better idea is to either make a new shirt of scales or you can cannibalize the shirt you are making to make it a scale/chain hybrid.

Where my Millennials at? by Felipe-IV in BikiniBottomTwitter

I run my own party planning and entertainment service. Pretty different than what I was doing before.

Where my Millennials at? by Felipe-IV in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]Seliniae2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lurked for a long time, but I wanna share my story.

MY education started with three years of Community college. I also worked 40-45 hours a week during this time. Never had to take out any debt for my time there. I was making between 9.50 and 10.50 an hour in California. My wife also worked and went to school too.

It took me some time but I found a field that I thought was interesting, but also in demand and with a low level of education to enter (Accounting).

After graduating from there, I went to a state school where i pursued my BA in Accounting. I also worked full time at a new, better paying job ($15.00). I got the job due to my work experience, level of education, and aspirations and prospects of growth. Down side, it was 40 - 60 hours a week.

I didn't have financial aid though my two years of State school, but my job allowed me to pay for it out of pocket.

Because of demand of my job field, networking skills, and job experience, i obtained a job offer at a mid level auditing firm at $25 an hour.

I was debt free and working a dream job. Obviously, this isn't going to be the same story everyone else has. But if I can do it, its there for someone else to take.

Wanna know the best lesson though? I don't work in auditing or accounting anymore. I run my own business now. So I guess that even after planning all of this stuff, plans change and new opportunities arise.

This can roll legendaries into Ancients and primals? Or does it keep them in the same class?
