Making chain mail: How many chain links do I need?
Hello, I am currently working on making this piece of chain mail: http://picasaweb.google.com/BowenOfSwan/CostumeReferencePictures/photo # 5116567591568587154 I am using the 4-1 scheme and I was wondering if anyone around know how many links in the chain need. I am currently about 3410 pre-cut links that I ordered.
All of them, lol! Chain mail that takes a lot of links; generally it is safe to assume you you a lot more to you! I can not find a pattern for the type of piece you're working with, but to give you a general idea, a small (36 "chest) wifebeater-style chainmail shirt takes about 46,400 rings. Obviously, your piece will not be near as large, but still, think I need to be thinking in a different order of magnitude far as how many links it would take.
