Its not hard, but is very time consuming, Im modifing an already made set myself.

I have not made the links but it looks easy enougth, see if you can get garden wire from screwfix, that may work. Youll need to strip the galvinisation off which is dangerous so take advice on that.

Butted mail is heavy and not great, if you are after chain try the riveted stuff froom ebay. Its more historic and lighter and pretty cheap nowadays.

the rings i have got are specifically for making chainmail. I have seen reels of wire available to purchase from America but struggle to find a source in the UK.

Which LARP System are you currently part of and what sort of Characters are you after?

I was thinking along the lines of character build as follows:
Chainmail shirt and Coif
legs and arms Leather
Shield
Sword
Ranger 1 & 2 for gathering skills.
then use resources for beneficial group stuff or sell to others.

Would this be of any use to your LARP group when i can get to meets.
I used to LARP with the Labotomy goblins group with the Vipers.
