Well, one more thing to contribute on top of Bobbie's treasure trove....My
boss, the manager of the Caribou where I work, not only used to do XS 'cause
his mother taught him, but, the guy actually makes Chain Mail. Seriously.
He's definitely hooked up with those interested in that and makes custom
Chain Mail- articles of armour, jewelry (he has some really interesting
rings), etc. So, let me know if you think that might be of interest. He
had quite the story about getting some manufacturer that did spring coils to
make him 10,000 individually cut single rings in 2 diameters - I think he
had to pay for them to set their CAM machine to cut each ring, rather than a
length of coils. Something different always around the corner.
