Eh, it really depends. Butted maille is nowhere near as durable and strong as riveted maille, but that doesn’t render butted maille completely useless. It may be obsolete in comparison to riveted maille, but butted maille can be a life saver if you had to mass produce hauberks, coifs, etc. I for one have made both, and I have to say that butted maille takes a fraction of the time it takes to make riveted maille. Riveted maille also requires much greater grip strength to make.
@@GremShrub_0426 yeah butted mail would be useful if they used it like you describe however butted mail was NEVER used. There is no historical evidence it has ever been used in combat.
@@WoofyMcDoodleyup, I think I wrote it in a way that sounded like I was saying that 😓 I was more so saying in a modern sense, apologies for the miscommunication.
Though riveted mail is admirable and quite advantageous armor versus blades, not everyone who makes this stuff is routing a stronghold two months from now. Many times it is only being used for cosplay purposes and butted mail does absolutely fine for this. I've used both and never heard any gripes or taunts about wearing butted mail at the dozens of renfaires I've attended over the years.
Use 14 gauge wire instead of 16. It’s too thin and doesn’t look good. Also maybe make your links smaller in diameter, tighter links look cleaner and are stronger.
If you made that face at me in combat I might've ran away!
😂😂😂😂😂
**laughs while unsheathing a rapier**
crossbow
It is true unless it is rivited but either way in this chainmail your are right
**Laughs while charging with a 2 meter long polearm**

Lmfao ur on crack 🤣. Useful! Gunna try and make a Barb Helm that has some chain mail! Thanks🤘
Have fun! Let me know how it goes
No rivets it'll not withstand anything

@@GremShrub_0426I can assure you this mail hood will absolutely be useless and looks stupid as hell, its supposed to be worn over a padded coif 💀

Such big rings
With how large those rings are you should have gone 6 into 1 for a better look
Well, it may not be riveted, but I mean, maybe you should make the individual rings way smaller, like 1/4 of the size or smaller
Now you are full battle ready 😆
What diameter rings? Gauge? Looks like aluminum but fun project anyway
😂 3d print them bro 😂
It called mail

That looks like 18-gauge, not 16.
How many mm wide the rings?
He’s using 16 I think. Don’t do that tho, use 14 gauge
You are also missing some links around the chin!
I have that mouse
Tis the mouse of legends
Same 😂
What kind of wire do you use
He’s using the wrong gauge. 14 is the best for butted armour.
song?
Game of thrones theme
its not an evolution 😅
Terifing
Ahh just the look I was aiming for 😂😂
