Hey Everyone! So I need some help/advice. I have been wanting to start a chain project for a while now and I've decided to go with a coif. Not the easiest I know, but I'm up for the challenge. However, I have been looking online for a good hour or so trying to find instructions, or a pattern or anything for making a coif, and I cant find a thing. I have found a few on partial coif or complete open faced coifs. Does anyone know where I can get some good instructions/tutorial on making one? Also I have a read a lot of different opinions on what size and gauge wire to use, what would be the best and most historically accurate to use? Thanks! Josh

Hello, I would like to make a 6 inch by 6 inch swath of 6 in 1 european chainmail. I am interested in the stainless steel punched rings that are 16g Wire diam. 0.062" 1.6mm 3/8"ID I see that the bag contains 300 rings. Would that be enough to make a 6 inch by 6 inch swath? Also, I am interested in the small stainless steel scales and like the chainmail, I would like to make a 6 inch by 6 inch swath. How many scales would I need for that and is it possible to rivet the rings with the scalemail? My last question is what size of rivets would I need to make riveted chainmail/scale mail? I am doing this for college in a "how to speech" so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time!

Attaching 16g 5/16" Rings to 16g 1/4" or 18g 3/16" Rings
The Black Dragon posted a topic in Maille Industry
I'm looking into making a chainmail suit with long sleeves that I would like to attach some kind of gauntlet to. I'll most likely use the basic 4to1 pattern and I want to know if it is possible to attach a sheet of 16g 5/16" to 16g 1/4" or 18g 3/16" Rings for aesthetic purposes. I'd also like to make sure the 16g 1/4" or 18g 3/16" would be suitable for use with the small scales available on TRL. Thanks you your help!
