When I first started chainmailling, I knew nothing about it except what I'd seen online or in movies; chainmail armor. Not very exciting for the average person but the idea of weaving metal rings into something I could create without any special skills appealed to me. I stumbled across The Ring Lord, a site that sells all kinds of rings in all kinds of sizes, colors, and metals, and I was hooked!

I first must admit that the book was not at all what I expected. I must have had a bit of a brain cramp and thought it was a collection of crazy chain letters.
That being said I may have found a new hobby. The directions were clear and easy to follow. The illustrations were clear and showed exactly how things would look while in progress. I'm fairly certain I have found a new hobby.
I received this book for free in exchange for this honest review.
