League Chainmaille Design

Lurkis·Aug 16, 2015·2 votes·742 views

Fellow summoners, for the last 8 years I have been practising creating chainmaille in all its forms, most recently as inlays. Having been a fan of League for a few years, I decided to take on the task of transforming the League of Legends logo into chainmaille. I'm about a third of the way complete and was hoping to get some feedback from the community to see what you guys think. The final inlay will be just over 3' long and almost 2.5' in hight, containing a ridiculous 28,000 rings.

I'll be posting more updates as I get closer to completion and I'm hoping to either sell or auction this piece off upon completion and I won't be making another of this design. Hope you guys like it so far, let me know what you think :)

looks great so far, how do u make the rings? i saw a tutorial once on how to make it out of soda tabs and i know some smiths individually craft them

When making your own rings, the best thing to do is take a spool of wire and clamp it down to a mandrel using vice grips. The next step is to coil the wire around the mandrel and then either snip or saw down the coil to get the rings. You can also use power tools to speed up this process :)
