After curling the iron wires as shown previously, its time to cut them into rings aka chain mail links.
Based on a single wire coil…the cut is made in such a way as shown above.
using the thick wire cutter, cutting would be breeze but my fingers hurt after a certain amount of time.
Each cut on the wire will produce a single chainmail link…I need lots of them for a real mail-shirt
At the end of theday, A BAG OF CHAINMAIL LINKS FOR THE NEXT STAGE.
