Chainmail making, 4 in 1 pattern
this is a video i made demonstrating the 4 in 1 chainmail weave. its short and sloppy but was put together for a speech class. This is also the reason why there are no spoken or written instructions on the video, because i was speechifying them in the class on the day of the presentation.
may your pillow always be cool and your favorite shirt never tear. incredibly helpful, thank you.
@Insomn i don’t claim this to be the best way, just the easiest for me when i first learned.
Such an underrated video oh my god. Thank you
For the love of the gods thank you for making this.
Wow, it’s very slow patient.
Heck yeah, thank you.

Best forearm workout period high 12 gauge rings.
use 14-18 gauge wire for armor….
you need a good thick gauge wire, the gauge i normally use is like 12 or so, so when it bends closed it stays closed.
or you could flatten the tips of the cut part of the ring and drive a rivet through to secure it. unfortunately i’ve never attempted that.
there’s also a small welding tool available at some chainmail websites and it’ll weld your rings closed, only drawback is it’s expensive.
๐ Thanks for share this video. ๐คฉ
Good video what program you used mail THE nAme plz
I’m having trouble maintaining the pattern while adding new rings. so frustrating.
this is just the way i do it. the vid was originally for a speech class assignment, a "how to" speech.
its hard for me to learn how to do something through reading alone so i figured i’d help out the other poor saps who are like me and need to see how something is done.
just to let Insomn know, this video presented the ONLY tutorial on this weave that actually๏ปฟ made any real sense to me – and not only have i looked at many before, but i have actually made three cuff bracelets before and struggled with each one. this version ‘clicked’ with me – and i believe i will never have to look at another tutorial on this weave again. people just make sense of patterns in many different ways. many thanks from me, moronexpress!! ๐
on the very ends you dont have to put 1 ring for every two, in order to sustain the size just have the one ring by itself… if you pause the vid right at the end you should be able to see what i mean.
miss you brother
sometimes if you hook your project from something and let it hang it helps keep it from clumping
So helpful. I just got 4500 steel jump rings in 5mmx.8mm, & i want to make blanket.
This will help me make my blanket
Coolness, thanks so much!

I feel really bad for the blacksmiths back in the day who had to make possibly dozens of cahinmail suits per day.
see, this is a good video except:
WE CANT MAGICALLY PUT RINGS THROUGH RINGS
This was very helpful thank you, have you got anymore chainmail tutorial videos?
I happen to like it! Thanks
hurt my thumbs and pointers doing this, but worth it lol
Thanks!
HELP IM 17 YEARS LATE-
This is great after all those years it’s still best thing. You need to teach your hands to do the job, after learning it through brain.
I like this video. Sometimes it’s hard to see the links when people are weaving. No matter how hard they try, hands and tools often get in the way of the camera’s view.
Just to let everyone know, this video presents just about the most complicated and adstract way to make a simple 4-in-1 weave and you are all worse at making chainmail for having watched it. If you try to make, say, a shirt using this technique you will probably never finish it.
Good animation, but seriously dude. The only way you could have made the weave more complex is if you opened every ring. My technique uses 4 closed and four open, and only 1/8th of those rings have to be woven.
