Chain Mail

Joseph and Sam proudly show their completed chain mail

The project begins with a simple roll of wire purchased at IFA

This is the type of wire they typically use

The boys built this simple mandril to form the wire into a coil of rings

The wire quickly forms a coil.

The wire coil is removed and ready for cutting into individual rings.

An example of rings cut from the coil.

Wire rings are later separated into two piles. One with open rings, the other with closed rings.

Sample of rings bound together.
