Chain Mail Ressurection

So ten years ago, I actually had started a chain mail shirt and had created a coif (chain mail headpiece). I brought it out of storage and decided to go to Lowes and buy more galvanized steel to finish the project. I had wanted to purchase stainless steel riveted rings to make this shirt... but lets face it. That will be waaay to expensive for this purpose. So, for $8 fr 100ft I will keep using galvanized steel. Here is the progress so far.

You can see my additions tonight, as that is the shiny portion. Galvanized steel oxidizes and turns dark gray and smells a little funny when exposed to air... At least it doesn't rust just from air. Supposedly dumping the stuff into a bunch of sand can work the oxidation off, but I haven't tried yet.

There are articles all over the web on how to do chain mail, but I will probably over then next few days post how I am doing it so it is in one place.
