Chainmail Chess Set
"One of the first important decisions I made was what wire size to use. I decided that in order to fully articulate the style of traditional chess pieces I was going to have to use thin wire and small rings. So I decided to use .035" wire. This is about the smallest wire size I felt comfortable using for extended periods of time at the time in which I started this project. For metals, I already knew that I would use stainless steel and bronze. These are the two metals I used for the squares on the chess board. Also, both metals have roughly the same amount of springback, which I knew would be vital in ensuring sculptural consistency."
Dude, I made one of those, you probably paid over $100 for that! I can make one for 2-3 bucks. Try it.
Huh? I didn't buy it. I have no idea how much the creator is selling it for, either, but I suspect the workmanship alone is worth more than two dollars!
