Do the renaissance fair types really pay well for chainmail? Do they buy it in premeasured lengths or in things like clothing, etc.?
Just curious

People like the look of any chainmaille at faire, and usually have the money to burn. Coifs and tunics do well, but little things like 4 inch strips of 4-in-1, 6-in-1, 8-in-1, ropes, and various other versions do well as key chains. Hand flowers are popular with the ladies as well.

I had a boyfriend who did this a while back, and used a wooden frame, through which he threaded a steel rod. There was a hole in the end of rod where the end of the wire went, and the other end was put in a drill. You get a good, even spring fast. This is the method I will probably use WHEN I get around to making my own rings. It can help save your hands, especially when you are making a lot of rings.
