My workbox, just after a fresh delivery of scales.
So I just started out weaving scales, having done chainmail for a while now.
First attempt at weaving.
Its not so hard, the silver/grey rings are there to remind me which are the top scales.
Prepping the next few sections.
I like to lay my work out, so I know how far I have left to go.
First attempt complete.
It was just an attempt at box scale [as in, a straight line across].

Damn, and I thought it was going to be about fishing lures.

I see scales but no bananas. I am confused by this.

There are certainly worse hobbies to have. And wearing full scale armor in public isn't as frowned upon as many other things.

Do yourself a favor and don't attempt it using split-rings, as most places recommend. It's a pain in the ass!

Already noted, I am looking into getting a small ring welder at some point.
Fuckweasel
That would be a good idea. The main reason split-rings are suggested is due to the nature of the scales. Twisting one can easily (1/2)
Fuckweasel
re-open the rings and end up causing it to fall apart. Welding standard rings would solve that quite easily, :) (2/2)

I just need the money really. I have to ship from Canada to get the stuff, and it cost me £100 for that box at the top.

From Canada, I take it then you ordered from TRL? They're the only reliable source for scales I'm even aware of.
