How Do You Make A Chain Mail Tunic?

Chain mail is one of the easiest types of armor to make. A good way to start is with a simple tunic, which is mostly a basic tube shape. Once you become an expert, there are also plenty of more complex styles of chain mail armor to make.

Take your measurements, including waist, chest at the widest part, shoulder to waist and collarbone to waist. If you're adding sleeves, measure neck to elbow (or wherever you want the sleeve to end) and bicep circumference. Figure out the amounts you need.

Multiply the chest circumference by the total length, times two. This will give you the area you'll need to cover with your mail. A vendor of mail supplies can tell you how many ounces of rings or wire you'll need.

Gather the materials and tools. If you're making your rings out of wire, you'll need wire cutters; for metal links or washers, you'll need two pairs of pliers. Weave your links.

A good weave to start with is the four-in-one, in which you hook each ring to four others around it. Other ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
