first off, these are badass
second, I'm guessing since half of them are neoprene rings that this has some stretch to it? if so, how well do they stay on?

Very well made! And they probably took a while, too, huh? But the result is worth the effort!

What would something like this cost? I really want one...

These are the best chain mail bracers ive ever seen. I'm looking to make some leather gauntlets backed with chain mail and i want to use this weave. could u post a tutorial on your website. If time is an issue I'd be happy to pay for it. You used 2500 rings right? what size?

I have a couple tutorials already up that you can use. [link] Use the Reversing HP3-1 Sheet 6, and the Joining HP3-1 Sheet 6 with 3/4 Persian tutorials.

Like many other people, I LOVE these bracers. TRL finally got a new shipment of Neoprene rings in and I finally got enough saved up to start this project. Obviously I'll need to experiment with the expanding seam, but I was wondering if you had any hints/tips or approximate ring count for both bracers. I'd really like to order all of the neoprene rings in one go to ensure that they're all the same color.
I will be making these for my own use and not selling them. If I make bracers to sell, they will be of a different sheet weave and probably something harder than HP3-1 Sheet 6. Which isn't saying too much, I suppose, since I find this weave to be much easier than everything but E4-1 and the like.

It seems heavy, but great work altogether!

This is really really awesome. If i were to go on stage, i'd want to wear this just for the metal-factor it has!.

okay wait... these are simply amazing, really, I love every aspect of it. Yeah that really states it all I just love them!

I love the bracers but your model looks awkward in them. :/ If you still have them I'd consider taking a new shot where she doesn't appear to be recoiling in horror. Just a thought though. HP 3-1 sheet to me is more complex than dragon scale by far which appears to be the standard of hard weaves. Amazingly good job on the bracers. <3

Heh, I'd agree on pretty much all points. I do still have them, and getting a better picture is on the docket.

Let me know when you do, I'd love to see a better picture of these!

Wondering if the stainless steel is saw cut, I'm going to try and make this but I just want to know before hand ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope; machine cut. Saw cut would certainly work, but I'm too cheap to get them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright, I was just wondering if I could saw cut them myself :3 I know Galv would break the saw but wasnt too sure about stainless ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eeeeeeew galvy
I'm told that stainless is difficult to saw cut. It either breaks the saw blades or gums them up, I forget. I get all my rings premade, so I can let someone else get the headaches.

....I am stunned. Your work is amazing, no other word for it.
If I had those, I would wear them everyday to make my arms stronger. No, seriously. That's awesome.

This like everyone who posted on this is amazing. Now a good friend of mine has thought of making a Byzantine sheet. I would love to see a swatch of that. But he has been so busy with work that he doesn't have time.

Hey, don't look at me, I'm already in the middle of a big maille project
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL.
Well my wife and this guy love me because I perpose projects which are damn near impossible.
If I recall, I thing the way I suggested to turn a byzantine chain was to make it kind of like a Japanese 4 on 1 variant.

looks nice, I should try that once I finish the hauberk I'm working on with that weaving
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Awesome! I'm going to try this too... how many wire has gone into this? and how are the two sides connected? I don't think you can just put them on can you? anyway I love them ^^

i knew these looked familiar, this is the person who sent it to CGmaille?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, I made the bracers and I made CGMaille too

holy crap!!! ur the guy who made CGmaille, wow how long does it take to make those tuterals anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, a few hours to do the pictures, and another hour or so to write the text. Course, this usually takes place over a few days. I get distracted easi- OO something shiny!

lol, nice, i only know other CG like animating fire, etc

Holy crackers. I just keep finding more and more amazing work. Well done!!

Both the top and bottom seams are 3/4 Persian, the bottom seam incorporates expansions so it fits snugly against the arm.

Honestly, I think this is the finest chainmaille I've ever seen!
The weave is so thick, and half persian looks just great- which is accentuated perfectly by the contrasting metals.
It stands out even on the thumbnail picture.

great design but i was wondering how manny rings did you use
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Around 2500 per bracer, half steel & half neoprene.

Their Great, and just curious, how do they stay on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They have expansions that match the forearm (bracers get bigger where the arm gets bigger), and the neoprene is grippy so it stays more or less where you put it.
