Nice maille jewerly Mr Tully. I haven't done any maille work in a few years, but it is another time consuming hobby, not quite as expensive as this as long as you stay away from the nice (expensive) metals. Silver is not to bad, titanium can run into bucks in a hurry. Bought my Ti rings from TRL as well (I see you go as just L.T. over there

. The old hauberk and coif I first made in galvy 3/8" rings seemed to take forever just due to the shear size.
Back on topic, that is a awesome little cab you are making!
Here is a Ti necklace and earrings I did several years ago, from 22ga 5/64" rings from TRL. Sorry not a great pic.
