Medieval armor is an interesting subject, and while I don’t have much interest in acquiring any or joining in for any re-enactments, I was curious about how it is made, and what it behaves like.
With a bit of scrap galvanized wire I had laying around, I took a bit of time one evening to wrap it into a spring on my lathe, cut it into rings, and then form the rings into a small chunk of chain mail.
I’m pretty pleased with the results. It’s a neat bit of material that came out, albeit very time consuming to produce.
