My knucklehead son managed to get himself grounded for failing to turn in assignments.

He decided to make chainmail out of 14 gauge wire to pass the time. I might just keep him grounded till he heads to college.

If he sticks with it get him some bulk rings and a rivet tool. Could be a real cool father and son project doing the research and making the chain mail.

SNC832BK - 1 kg Loose Chainmail Rings - Blackened Mild Steel Round Rings with Rivets - 18 gauge / 9 mm - $23.95

SNC794 - Universal Chainmail Riveting Tool - $19.95

Awesome. He's going to have some strong fore arms come fall.


I've also registered him for a blacksmithing camp taught by Lyle Winn.  :)
