FunNice clear instructions and a nice project to boot . Showers how to make your own links. Which can save you some money
The photos did not show up.The author went into too much detail about making jump rings. Also the illustrative photos that he referred to in the making chainmaille did not show up. Disappointing.
I enjoy working and creating with my hands. I think that is why I enjoy doing origami so much. The problem is that I end up with a bunch of paper projects that clutter up my house. This might be a good solution as the end product is somewhat useful. Now I just need to find the time and money to give it a try.
Loved it!The instructions on how to make your own jump rings are well written and easy to follow! And it was free!
This is the second book of Baker's that I have read on chain maille. I am once again pleased. It is simple and direct. Good illustrations are always a help in any how to book. It is a good book for someone who wants to learn a very basic chain maille weave but has 0 experience. It is nice in that it details the tools, materials, and safety concerns involved in a new project. There aren't really any patterns or projects in this volume, but it gives practice, practice, practice (and that's someth
Nice for beginners but...So I decided to get this book just to see how Mr. Baker does his "beginners" guide. Honesty, I just skimmed through the book due to having 15 years of experience in making chainmail.

ChainmailAwesome book easy to follow would recommend to all. For all levels that do chain mail. Very impressed with this book.
Great instructionsThe instructions are simple and clear, the visual aids even more so. I am thinking of trying this technique with my metalworking students. I am sure they'd enjoy it.
InformativeThis is a great book to learn the basics of making chainmail. The instructions are easy to follow and it has some practice projects included.
Basic Chainmail Very basic , interesting selection of tools , needs more information on forming rings and cutting rings. 4 in 1 pattern, nice & easy to start with.
Excellent overview -- good photos and diagramsExcellent beginner introduction to chain maille. It provides a good overview of chain maille fundamentals with useful photos and diagrams.
Good beginners guide to making chain mail, I use it as a reference book, so return to it when needing a specific method, an idea of what to make, or inspiration.
Chain mail .Interesting basic book, on chain mail. Purchased it, to have handy, when starting on mail. Useful for basic 4 in 1 weave, but will need to get next book for anything more complex. Useful information, for anyone wishing to make their own or adjust existing shirts, etc.
This is a well written book with easy step by step directions and great close up pictures. I can't wait to see if he writes one for making armor.
