Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAINMAIL MAKING FOR BEGINNERS Chainmail (or mail or maille) refers to armor that made from metal rings that are joined together in a pattern to form a protective mesh. Historically this kind of armor was used to protect soldiers on the battlefield from slashing and stabbing injuries. This kind of protective gear is still used by some butchers and shark divers. In addition to being able to protect the wearer from sharp objects, it is also useful for protecting against high voltage electricity. Many people who work with high voltage devices such as Tesla coils use chainmail as a wearable faraday cage. The metal is very conductive and it is able to safely redirect electricity around their bodies. Chainmail is also commonly used as a decorative element. The simple elegance of interwoven rings makes it ideal for jewelry making. In this guide, I am going to give you a basic introduction to the art of making chainmail in its various forms.

Download or read book Chain Mail Guide for Beginners written by Brice Clyde and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chain Mail Guide for Beginners Chain mail derives its name from the Old French word "maille," which means "mesh" or "net." Essentially, it is a textile made of metal rings, typically iron or steel, interlinked in a way that creates a flexible and protective barrier. These rings can be made in various sizes and gauges, and they are interconnected using different weaving patterns. The result is a sturdy but flexible material that can be worn as armor or used for decorative purposes. The origins of chain mail can be traced back to ancient civilizations. While the exact timeline is debated, the earliest examples of chain mail-like armor can be found in cultures such as the Celts and the Etruscans around the 4th century BCE. However, the most iconic and widespread use of chain mail occurred during the medieval period in Europe. Chain mail played a pivotal role in medieval warfare. It was the primary form of personal protection for knights and soldiers during the European Middle Ages. The interlocking rings provided excellent defense against slashing and stabbing attacks, making it a crucial element of medieval armor. Knights would wear chain mail hauberks (shirts) along with other pieces of armor, such as helmets and plate armor, to create a comprehensive defense against weapons of the time, like swords, spears, and arrows. Chain mail was not just functional; it also held significant cultural and social importance. Owning a suit of chain mail was a symbol of status and nobility. It demonstrated a knight's wealth and commitment to their martial duties. Chain mail, often adorned with intricate designs and heraldic symbols, was also a canvas for self-expression and personal heraldry with the advent of firearms in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, chain mail's effectiveness in battle began to wane. Firearms could penetrate the rings, and armor technology evolved to include more firearm-resistant materials like plate armor. Despite this, chain mail continued to be used as a supplementary defense for centuries and remained an iconic symbol of medieval knights. TO CONTINUE READING, GRAB YOUR COPY NOW!!!
