     That’s crazy, they’re super consistent for being hand made!

     @bot@seal.cafe i mean i make them from wire myself instead of buying premade but i don't have a proper cutting tool, so they get cut unevenly and you would have to file them to make them nice uniform rings, but i cba doing that when it's this many lol
     
     dont have a goal, i bought a bunch of thick aluminium wire that turned out to be too soft for my purposes so i was looking for anything to do with it and thought of chainmail

     You can do it with a hacksaw, but it's going to be a nightmare to get a reasonable amount of them. It's a good starting point.
     
     Usually people use a specialized machine, often powered by a regular drill, to coil and cut them all in the same spot. More advanced ones also collect the dust, which can be important for valuable metal like silver and to save your lungs.
