thanks 🙂 haven’t decided if I’m going to sell anything else yet besides my coiled peacock male dragon (which no one seems to be interested in in the trade section)
I kinda want a peacock coiled male, but again, I really shouldn’t be spending money even though I have some in my account. I need to pay things back, and I’m ordering another shipment of chainmaille soon (more to finish current personal projects, rather then to sell, since no one wants to buy).

I need to find someone to build me a mandril…
Rings! I weave the chainmaille but no one wants to buy my pieces (since I can’t cut them myself, I have to buy precut and it’s more expensive).
If you want I could try and see what a mandril is and see if I could make one for you… for some reason I can’t get the name to match to a picture in my head.
(yes I am eternally hopeful)
The mandril I had borrowed was a big box affair with rods of various sizes… Everything from itty-bitty for jewelry to large rods for the 14 to 18 gauge wire for armor… I’ll see if I can find a pic somewhere. I know I have to have one…
The two pieces I have that are my pride and joy are of 3 gauge industrial copper grounding wire… One of these days I’m gonna get skinny enough I can wear the belt again. The guy who did it was an ex-boyfriend, and I think he hates to this day that I still have it… lol
And I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that electrician’s end nippers work wonderfully for cutting rings… And actually I do the score/break routine, because it gives a cleaner cut to close. I do know some guys that have gotten industrious and actually do the rivet/weld, but GACK!!!!
If you want, pm me and we can chat chainmaille more!!
We now return this thread to it’s original programming… beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep….
