Combined project...

Postby weeshan on Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:09 pm

Not finished yet but I thought I would post the progress. Dragonscale chain mail weave done by myself out of stainless steel for easy wear. The cab was made by wolfden and is being incorporated into the bracelet.

Thanks! Yes it can be real time consuming depending on the weave. That particular bracelet is about half done and I have five hours into it, not including the time to coil and cut all of the rings. You can buy them pre made but I prefer making them myself.
