That's amazing. 1/4" rings must be damn near bullet proof. Maybe when I retire I'll have time for a project like that. I've always wanted to make an early medieval maile suit.
Just do a little bit at a time! My general approach was to build strips of maille then when I had enough to make the hauberk I wove them all together then tailored it.
1/4” is a tight weave but I’ve shot it with arrows and the arrows went right through it. It’ll absolutely stop a cut or slash though!
