I usually buy 14 and 12ga electric fence wire at farm supply stores since it is high grade and cheap. The rod I bought at Lowes and I use either 1/2in or 3/8ths in diameter. If you don’t have access to antler to make the jig out of brass might work but I haven’t tried brass yet. Almost everything can be found on Amazon and they have free shipping to all FPO addresses.


Most of what I know about chainmail is self taught. I grew up around a manufacturing plant so making a basic jig came second nature and I have been improving the design ever since.
