Description

The second item I ever created (I like to start big apparently). A shirt made from 5/16" ID, 16-gauge galvanized steel rings. Weave is European 4/1. All rings were coiled around a dowel by hand (no drill), and cut with a pair of nippers. All in all, it took over 200 hours of work to complete. The scales I bought online from The Ring Lord, and are the large, galvanized steel variety. For no real reason other than aesthetics, I used scales on the shoulders. I've been told by many that the scale shoulders just "make" the piece. I'll take their word for it :P.
