Hey guys, hope you are all alright Very Happy

Was just wondering, can you make reenactment standard chainmail? Because if I got some chainmail for the kender tank I would want it ideally to be suitable for reenactment too. Saves money, is practical, would be brill if possible.

How you Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagons all doing? Very Happy

I havent done Re-enactment before, so Im not too sure of their quality standards, but I have this link saved in my fav's. Our CP group are always striving to make kit look as good as possible.

All you really need are some round washers that aint flat, and two pairs of pliers.... oh, and a bag load of free time (or mates willing to help you out).

What re-enactment style are you doing?

Missed this post.

What do you mean by reinactment grade?? Is butted sufficent, you have seen mine is that enougth? I doubt you could walk with mats on.

If it is riveted you are about the only one with small enougth hands to do it, I am too clumsy to do it well or fast. And it is stupidly slow to make.
