Topic: WTS: chainmail hackey sacks and dice bags/pouches for bitcoins (Read 3626 times)

Still three pouches and two hackey sacks available.

Wondering if there is any interest in other types of chainmail items such as wallet chains, bikini or halter tops, etc... If so drop a note in this thread and I'll see what I have available or can make quickly to list.

Thanks for the mention in the honest traders thread Interneting...

Received the red pouch really quick. Looks awesome! Thanks much Thralen!

Red pouch claimed, will edit original post to remove it from the list after the sale goes through.

Changed pricing scheme to reflect a USD $ amount in bitcoins rather than trying to adjust the price daily.

Sorry Mousepotato, I realized I missed part of the question. Strength wise it holds up fine. The colors can chip, but only if they are banged against sharp metal, a rough rock, or something of the sort. For normal usage the color holds fine and if it gets dirty it can be cleaned with blue dawn and warm water.

Ooo, I've been to some renfaires, I always liked scalemail armor and the way it bends and folds.

In the bikini tops I make with the anodized aluminum (like the one in the sample photo above) I use 14 gauge 5/16" inner diameter anodized aluminum links. It is more than tough enough for the purpose (I also use the same size anodized aluminum link on some of my mid-strength wallet chains to give you an idea). My wife made a chainmail dress (mid-thigh length) using 14 gauge 5/16 bright aluminum (of that size) and neoprene. While she doesn't wear it a lot, she does wear it sometimes and has had no problems with the strength on the links.

How does anodized aluminum hold up in a chainmail garment? Does the anodizing wear off after a while?

Material options available are:
Stainless steel, galvanized steel, copper, bronze, anodized aluminum (about 10 colors), bright aluminum (a silver color), silver, titanium, anodized titanium, nickel silver, and neoprene/epdm (stretchy links). The precious metals and titanium are custom order basis only as I don't keep those links in stock and have to order them when I need them.

Lots of the renfest areas use galvanized steel as their primary metal and maybe some stainless as well because the fair requires them to use "period" metals. I think the ones that don't require it have a much better selection, the colors from the anodized aluminum and titanium can be quite nice.

I do make chainmail (and scalemail) tops, some of them are even street legal, I'll drop a few pics in here but limit it so I don't get too many pics in the thread.

Scalemail:
Mirror finish stainless steel large scales         anodized aluminum small scales
 

Chainmail bikini tops:
Bright aluminum                                   anodized aluminum and neoprene


I have lots more sample pics of different styles, but those are mostly NSFW (not safe for work) and as a result not appropriate for this thread either.

Anyhow, I'll stop babbling now, you get me talking about my work/hobby and I don't know when to shut up.

He has stainless steel as long add it's the right grade that's safe, now i'm curious what mouse potato looks like in a metal bikini though.

That could be it... what other metal options are available for your chainmail, Thralen?

Sounds like you're allergic to nickel then

That's awesome!  I have a chainmail bikini top that I got at the Renaissance festival in Texas, but the metal makes me break out in a rash.  I don't know what it is.

Adjusted price on offer due to rise in bitcoin value. Will probably continue to do so any time the value shifts a lot.

Thralen

Yes I do. I currently have a quarter sleeve chainmail tunic in 14 gauge galvanized steel and a half sleeve hauberk (knee length) with a hood in 16 gauge stainless steel in stock. I think I might be out of coifs currently though.

half sleeve stainless (wife modeling):


I do custom work so if there is something specific you would like, let me know and I can give you a quote in either BTC or USD.

Here are some armor samples on my webpage (including the two pics earlier in the post): http://www.allchainmail.com/armor.html

Thanks...
Thralen

That's actually pretty cool.  Do you make any chainmail armor pieces?
