Complete Chainmail Kit - 20 Weave Tutorial Book, 23,000+ Rings(Over 4 Pounds), Clasps, and Tools

This kit is great for beginners. I made my first coif using this kit and the booklet was easy to understand and helped me get started with this project. In my photo I used the European 4in1 and I was able to almost complete my project with the 1lbs of the 16 SWG 1/4" rings (of course I ordered some more!). The quality of the rings are great and out of the whole 1lbs bag i only found 2 rings that were duds. I also love that we also get a little guide that helps us decide which rings we need for each weave. Overall, this kit has jump started my hobby for chainmail and I'll be continuing to purchase from this shop!

Great product with helpful instructions. The kit includes a ton of different chain options to get started. This is a great company and the second kit I’ve bought from them. Good value and good for beginners to intermediate.

This kit has jump started my new favorite hobby, and was a great price for the amount of rings you get! I have since ordered more rings from a different company, and the gauges do not match up. Unfortunately, I do not have precision calipers to be able to discern which company is using non-standard sizing, but I can tell you that what Chainmail Joe calls 18g, Weave Got Maille calls 16g.That being said, within itself, this kit is incredible. The pliers are good and sturdy (I've since upgraded to ones with sharper tips and more comfortable handles, but these are good for beginners), the book is easy to follow and understand, and the rings are bright and shiny with very few flaws (I've found a few where it looked like the saw jumped when cutting the rings off the dowel). I'd definitely recommend this product for beginners who want to try several different weaves and find their own style!

Never having done chainmail before, I purchased this kit because it comes with an instruction book and a variety of jump ring sizes for a whole slew of different projects. It's a great deal, price-wise too.I've attached a picture of some of the Byzantine rope I've made for bracelets. Please do note that this kit only comes with silver jump rings - I've purchased additional gold and black jump rings to use because now I'm all into this.I will say that while the booklet is cool, I have needed to go to outside resources to help figure out how to do some of the weaves... (people have figured out some crazy ways to put together jump rings!). And I'm still only through a few of them... My favs are Byzantine, Helm Chain and European 4-in-1.Lastly, I'll say that I think this brand of jump rings (Chainmail Joe) is both very high quality and exceptionally well priced as far as jump rings go. I've purchased additional sizes and colors from Chainmail Joe as well as other brands (for different colors) but I've been pretty disappointed with any other brands I've purchased thus far... so, for now, I'm definitely sticking with this brand.

I love this kit and can't wait to learn all the different types of chain mail.

Why just an okay kit? The saving grace is the number of rings in various sizes. Very good variety to get you started.The book is just okay... I wanted to be excited about the book and it looks very straight forward to start with but the color change rings are confusing... I like how it breaks things into steps but it uses a color scheme of silver, red, gold. Silver usually something from previous steps. Red being new or last step and gold being current step. But this gets confusing when all the sudden you are on the next step and things that were gold are now red and there is new gold. This was very confusing when I was looking at the Byzantine chain. Lucky me I also picked up "Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop by Karen Karon". It also uses different colored rings but the steps stay consistent throughout. Don't get me wrong... the book is not worthless just difficult to follow.Tools... Glad it came with two pairs of plier but... You would be better off looking for pliers elsewhere. They are not worthless but they are low quality. I looked down at some of my rings and noticed that they were getting scratched up and blemished so I picked them up to inspect and found that the edges were kind of sharp... I will have to take them out to the shop and take the edge off.Would I recommend it? Yes but pick up another book to supplement it or spend time looking online at other tutorials.Included are two things I made in the first week of having the book. It is indeed fun messing with them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Yes this kits perfect for if you want to learn chainmail or if your new to chainmail.
