you like crossbows??? talk about coincidences, but i have been making them ever since i knew carpentry !! got to discuss nut design with you. I've tried at least 25 designs, but i can't figure out which is best.

You made chainmail? Sweet! I've made lots of it in the past, and have been wearing a 4-in-1 bracelet woven onto my arm for about a year!

I used that for a bit- the surface coating does wear off over time, though. If you're going for decorative, mcmaster.com sells nice aluminum wire, and you could also use stainless if you're a masochist, or simpler galvanized steel. You can get 16ga galvy at Lowe's etc, it makes a nice weave when spun on 1/4" rods. For a powered bending rig, I used some scrap lumber and a powered drill to set one up, then made lots of coils all at once. You have to use a glove on the wire-feeding hand, otherwise you get wire-burn, and it's easy to screw up a coil... but it's way fast. I could get 40ish-ring coils done in about a minute each with practice.

I know you've been around for a while, but I realized I never said hello. Thanks for sharing your projects, and welcome to Instructables!

Let me know if you have any questions.

You've probably already found your way around, but in case you haven't see these, here's a guided tour of Instructables and an Instructable for making Instructables.
