Phong's Chainmaille Tutorials
Phong has been tackling some really brain-bending weaves. Definitely worth a look, especially for advanced students.

Kusari's Lair
Very, very nice 3D rendered patterns and tutorials. I'm glad he's doing this so I can mark it off my "someday when I have time" list.

Dave's Chainmail Construction Webpage
A good collection of weave examples. (26 different weaves as of Feb. 26, 2001!) Many have "how to" sections. Nice library of weaves! Dave also makes the most amazing chainmail baskets.

The Colluphid Armoury
Lots of patterns for chainmail armor.

M.A.I.L.
Mail Artisans International League. Dozens (hudreds?) of tutorials. Highly recommended.

TherionArms
A staggering resource list for all kinds of arms and armor.

Christian Fletcher Medieval Armor
Chainmail, SCA armor, components for making and repairing your own armor.

Valentine Armouries
Gorgeous armor, weapons, clothing, and more armor, and more... A beautiful site!

ChainMaille Fashions
Nice ornamental armor and accessories. A sprawling site, fun to get lost in.


I just cleaned out the broken links from this page and I'm now woefully low on links for armorers. Please let me know if you have an armor site to recommend. I'd especially like sites that sell chainmail armor since I get so many requests to make armor - and I'm just not an armorer.

ChainMaille Fashions
The source for my bronze rings and some of my stainless rings.

Rosco
Decent quality stainless rings. They sell most of their rings to fishermen. Go figure.

The Ring Lord
Zillions of metals to choose from. Many sizes. Rings by the pound.


Do you know of other businesses selling steel/aluminum/titanium/etc. rings? I used to have more sites listed here, but they've slowly evaporated over the years. I'd like to fill up this space again...

Turk's Head Jewelry
This isn't chainmail, but well worth visiting. Loren makes fantastic knotted wire jewelry.

The Forum
A great chainmail discussion board. Very active, with lots of friendly and helpful chainmail experts.

M.A.I.L.
Mail Artisans International League. This is rapidly becoming the premier website for all things chainmail. Tutorials, articles, essays, weave libraries, links, etc...

Sara's Chainmail Connection
Sara's page has been around forEVER. Lots of good links.

Labyrinth
Georgetown University's resource for medieval studies. Much information!

Sulyman's Jewelry Site
My dad makes beautiful cast and hand wrought silver jewelry plus very nice finger cymbals!
