Link's Chainmail from LoZ

Making chainmail's fun. Making a shirt for your first chainmail attempt? Not so much. It was totally worth the sore and bruised fingers and all the times I had to take pieces of it apart when I messed up. Anyway, I made this for my Link cosplay and forced myself to finish it before beginning the rest of the costume. I actually started it in 2007 and took about a year working on it on and off before it was completed. I used 16 gauge galvanized steel wire I bought from Menard's and wrapped said wire around a metal rod by hand to create the rings. It also weighs about 15 pounds, which really isn't as bad as one would think.
