The links in this suit of mail are 3/16" id. in a 4 in 1 European weave, that means that each link is connected to the
four surrounding it.
This leather armour is between 15 & 18 oz. I still need to make a pair of pauldrons to go with it. The mail is 3/16th
inside diameter rings in a four in one pattern. The mail took me several months and the leather plate took me a day to make.

This armour consists of 18Ga. steel plates with leather riveted to it. The whole suit is articulated with maile hinges.
It is displayed over 1 in 4 english maile.
Tink, tink, tink, tink, here I am shaping a plate for a pair of pauldrons, the metal is 18Ga. steel. I use an oxygen
safety cap for my dishing plate.
After about a bazillion hammer strokes you get a pait of pauldrons. I still need to do some type of decoration on them
but I'm not sure what yet?
