The work on the Chainmaille shirt is coming along and I will be posting pictures of it in its process tomorrow. I will provide some explanations and some learning's with the pictures as well. On top of this I will be making a separate post dealing with the three bracelet types I am now also making.
The work on the shirt is becoming increasingly easier as my hands become accustomed to the strength of the rings, I have now developed very hard callouses on my fingers and beginnings of ones on my palms from the pliers that I use. In the beginning I could do no more than 30 mins of work whereas now I can do sustained work for over 2 hours. All I need to do now is a find a better position to sit in as my back is beginning to become the limiting factor in my work.
These spring washers are definitely a very good find although they are slightly limiting in terms of their thickness to inner ring ratio meaning that I cant do any work such as the dragon scale or other such weaves that require a smaller ring to pass through a bigger one.
Happiness is found where the heart as well as the soul lie.
