I could not scale the avatar to check the ID but it looks nice and small.

I am an armorer so the sight peaked my interest. I've made a few hauberks, but the only one I still have is made with 1/4"i.d. 302 stainless 16ga. took about 9 mos to make. Stainless is a LOT harder to open/close than mild steel.

My youngest daughter fell in love with the process. while in high school and College she managed to get permission from a few teachers to work in class on her projects. She lost interest in making hauberks once she saw my "waffle" bruises (imprint of chainmail visible in bruise pattern received in combat) she now makes mail jewelry and the like.

This is my favorite piece of her work
