Also, who do I sacrifice to the Dark Gods to get this as a print?

And do you do art trades?

In 1568, a book was printed in Frankfurt am Main: Eygentliche Beschreibung aller StΓ€nde - today known as Das StΓ€ndebuch, or The Book of Trades. The Swiss-German artist Jost Amman carved the images, and the verses were supplied by Hans Sachs, the famed Nuremberg Meistersinger.

1568 woodcut by Jost Amman, with verses by Hans Sachs, depicting a chain-mail maker at his workbench. The craftsman sits at a table, bent over as he fashions the armor, while a customer in a cloak and hat looks on. The scene is framed by a window with hills and trees in the background. Beneath the image is a German poem titled Der Panzermacher (β€˜The Armor-Maker’), describing the skills of the chain-mail maker.

I am a foreign armorer,
I make the steel hauberk,
Also sleeves and coverings of mail,
Worn both openly and in secret.
From armor I craft strong collars of steel,
I can also roll and clean mail,
When it begins to rust,
Thus the armorer’s song begins.

3/4 Persian is a good weave for this. Try a larger AR if it does not want to sit tight.

Don't try to tie the weave in a knot. Instead, first, make a short section of the main body, slightly larger than the know, into a tube. Then, encircle it with a short, narrow ribbon to make it look thicker.

This is a rework of an earlier piece. Originally, the token was simply attached on top of the weave - then it snagged and rings popped open.

Good job! If this is the position you want to wear it in, try splitting it into three parts and using two 45-degree seams. Basically turning it into a U-shape. It should drape better that way.

Nice tight weave, good closures.

Though I would not use magnetic clasps on a bracelet, especially a steel one. They're often too weak to stay secured. I'd recommend a hook with a single-link chain on the other end, or a watch-type lock.

I asked my #chainmail colleagues once: does handling your stash of rings ever make you feel like you're a #dragon on top of a #hoard of #treasure?

You can guess what the answer was.
