A video showing the technique and the basic tools for making a chainmaille coil, which can then be cut into open rings for weaving chainmaille. The first of two initial parts. List of things to get started: #1- 2 pairs of pliers #2- Mini bolt cutters #3- Wire (1/4 mile of Galvanized steel is only $27 at Tractor Supply. The cheapest I've found so far. That should be enough wire to make a complete hauberk.) #4- Smooth Metal Rod #5- Power Drill w/ .5" chuck (unless your going the hand-powered mandrill route which produces better rings at a slower rate.) #6- Leather Work Gloves (good for guiding wire onto the rod when winding rings.) All in all, it shouldn't cost more than $90 for the equipment. After that, wire is really cheap if you buy it in 1/4 mile spools. Otherwise, you can buy various different kinds of wire metals from theringlord.com
