Hey I'm not english so I didn't catch what was the wire you were using so i would appreciate if you could tell me. thnx :)
Great video dude. Good instruction and presentation. I noticed one place in your how to make chainmail (pt2) that you mave your workpiece out of camera view. You could place a small piece of electrical tape at the corners of your camera's viewable boundary to help you remember where the borders of your video's frame will be.
Other than that keep up the cool medieval creations!
