    In this video I'm going over one of my favourite projects! A chainmail hackysack. This is a great gift for friends and a top seller at festivals! I made it from 16g 1/4" rings, and if you want to add some colour you can use some anodized aluminum as an accent.

    Ha I had a friend of mine make me 2 chainmail hacky sacks back in 2005. They work great in cold weather where boots are necessary. I still have them. They get heavy on the feet after a few kicks. Lol

    great idea for a hacky sack... back in high school my friends and i played hacky sack during lunch time and before soccer practice. we bought a 230+ hacky sack's because they would wear and tear, get kick on the roof, or school staff would confiscate them, most of the time it was wear and tear

    great instructional video however I would make the part where you stitch up the triangles at the end a little more clearer for those who have never worked with chainmaille before

    • @aldii8265

      how do you weave the triangles together?

    When it comes to connecting the triangles, there a little bit of "Step one, draw two circles -- step two, draw the rest of the fucking owl" going on.

  • @Tropicalwebsurfer

    So watching this again with another video using colored rings the ball you made has no actual center ring but instead the center ring is the top ring of one of the triangles is what it now looks like to me. is that correct?

  • @travissleeper4132
    @travissleeper4132 3 года назад +1

    Is there a way to do this without staffing rags inside

    • @cryptic_kay
      @cryptic_kay 7 месяцев назад

      Like solid chain in the center, or just hollow? Because I’m sure you could remove the rags before closing the top

  • @Tropicalwebsurfer
    @Tropicalwebsurfer 5 лет назад

    I found this and made a bunch of balls but if i connect the triangles with the center ring i get a point and its not as flexible as yours looks. are you using SWG or AWG or maybe BWG? in my version I made just 1 alteration to make it more flexible with the triangles and it seems to work even if its a little different. I took about 30 balls with me to the 2019 Chain Link Up for other maillers to give them a look over and they said they looked excellent even if I prefer them a bit more firm if not filled with BB's instead of fabric.

  • @Toomnyusernae
    @Toomnyusernae 8 лет назад

    I always wondered about this idea. Rust and broken chains here and there are the inevitable outcome. I'm considering an alternative as of late though.

    • @timshaw8204
      @timshaw8204  8 лет назад +1

      It's held up decently - a few minutes to fix it here and there. Stainless steel would be a good material for durability.

    • @jorlok_zander
      @jorlok_zander 8 лет назад +1

      you could rivet it, or just smolder the ends of rings together, which is easier, and you'll basically get a ball with a capabilities of an actual historical chainmail armor, capable of surviving sword blows, stabs, even hammer blows somewhat, and of course it will pretty much sustain any fall. And yeah, with stainless steel or something similar, rust won't be a problem either.

    Yea. Try not to speed it up. It’s ok if a tutorial goes for 15 minutes. The triangles don’t make sense I’m stuck at 4/3/2/2. Not sure what’s happening since it’s sped up and pausing doesn’t help

    • @twistedknotz5485
      @twistedknotz5485 6 лет назад

      I ended up creating my own way of closing the triangles since this was not gone over very well. It worked out, but I agree that the triangles were the trickiest part and closing them should have been gone over in detail.

  • @ibjosb
    @ibjosb 2 года назад

    The two that I have are different widths and do not have anything inside. Having material inside of them will make them super bouncy. Leaving them empty makes them work more like a dirt bag.
    Then again, most people are watching this for chainmail practice, not new hacky sack ideas. 😆

    Where did you get the rings

    • @shane1388
      @shane1388 8 лет назад +1

      You can buy steel wire from an hardware store, a dowel and a pair of wire cutters for under $25, then tightly spin the wire around the dowel you got to the preferred circumference. After you've spun around your wire, you can slide off the complete spring and cut the end of it one by one with the wire cutters for thousands of rings!

      No. If you weld them it can't move and will break.

    • @wallofhooliganism5173
      @wallofhooliganism5173 8 лет назад +3

      I think he means whether or not the individual links themselves are welded closed, which is plenty logical and will increase the longevity.

    Took me two days to figure out how to finish this because the end of the video is so hard to follow. You did no explaining other then "weave them like so" and did the worst job of showing how to do it. Your hands are shakey, blocking the shot, and you move the piece off camera. You do this part too fast and don't give a good view of what's happening.
    Luckily I figured out my own way of finishing the piece.
