How to make Japanese 6-1 Maille Armor

Step 6 Japanese 6-1 Variations

By doubling the rings you can create two of the most common 6-1 Variations: 12-2 and 6-2. The first picture is an example of 12-2 Japanese and the second is an example of 6-2 Japanese. Hope you enjoyed the last of the Japanese Weaves!

cool. where do you get all the rings and whats the best tool to use in closing the rings?

Well you can make the rings or buy them from a company called "The Ring Lord". I just use two bent-nose pliers to close my rings.

I buy my rings from theringlord website. Great quality and they close very flush. Making the ring seem nearly solid.

oops looks like you lost one of the small rings in the bottom row in the 12 in 2.
Sorry I have an almost scary sense of pattern recognition. I spot almost everything out of place.
