Taking on making the worlds largest chainmail in the blacksmith shop. Starting with 600 ft of 1" round bar and forging them into 250 circles. Every one is hot riveted together either under the pneumatic upsetter or with a sledge hammer. The finished piece weighs 1600 lbs and stretches out to over 11 feet tall! This has been an awesome project to be apart of and look forward to hearing what you think about this project! Thank you for watching.

My name is Timothy Dyck. I got hooked on blacksmithing when I was 13 years old. I quickly realized that in order to keep blacksmithing I needed money to buy costly supplies, so I started making small items and selling them at the local farmer markets. The farmer markets turned into craft shows and craft shows turned into custom projects. Right out of high school I had the opportunity to apprentice under a blacksmith, where I worked with him for four years. We did projects for some of the most prestigious houses around the rocky mountains and were apart of many large public sculptures. I learned many valuable lessons while working under his training, but the desire to set up my own shop and go out on my own was always something I dreamed about.
So in 2013 I started setting up my full time blacksmith shop out of BC, Canada making custom projects and products like railings, gates, lights, stairs, fences and all the many blacksmithing tools required to keep the blacksmithing shop running. I love what I do and this is my dream job. I enjoy showing you what's going on in the blacksmith shop through the lens of a camera and would love to have you along for the ride as I live out my dream of being a blacksmith in the 21st century.

The little Rivet armies running around the entire piece was absolutely awesome and showed so much forethought and dedication to the ending product, hats off guys, that was so friggin cool. Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen on youtube in a long while.

This should be #1 on trending, Game of thrones should have hired you to make this for a prop, Hollywood needs to buy it for some epic movie or something. This is the greatest build I’ve ever seen on KZread by far. Maybe make it as a doorway or sign by the road for your blacksmith business? So many cool things you could do but this build needs to get out there to everyone, so cool!

Reach out to a historical society. Try things like various sized cannons, ballistas, trebuchet, etc. Honestly though, you'll break the structure holding the chainmail up before you break the chainmail.

This is myth-buster level! Go big! everything its attached to needs to be bigger then the chainmail tho so you are testing and breaking the chainmail not the little chain its hanging on.
Castles should've made these and hung infront of doors, during war, a couple feet away to take the blow out of battering rams

Guiness largest chain mail ever!
Having done small scale stuff a long time ago (and in a galaxy far far away?), my hat's off to you! Holy Smokes! I vote a giant crossbow style ballista!
2:49 and that's why knights paid squires, and paid them well lol
This video was the best descriptive video on how mail was created using the rivet system. Ery well put together. The camera work and music, especially after the last rivet was on point. Great job on editing!
My previous comment about your videography skills still stands. I love the stop-motion style that you did, and especially love the way the rivets ran around the floor! One wouldn't typically expect a smith to be so handy with a camera, yet here you are.
Do you have any dirt roads that need screeding? I think it would do a great job of leveling out a rough road.
Get Jorge from the slingshot channel to make a weapon to test against it. He will show us it's features!
yay for your Dad helping out and I bet your Mom loves the new yard art!!! Wow that was some project, amazing.
What a great video.
When you have level 999 exp. And you have every move fully calculated.
Wow, what an epic project! Great job guys. Man that would make a great blacksmith sign of sorts... Hhmmm
Just love watching your clips on blacksmithing and the way you explain different ways to do things just keep it up and don’t change the format. Tim (That’s Me) 🇦🇺
That rivet stop motion was super cool.
Why test it? It looks like a beautiful piece of art, history, teaching platform, etc. to me. With an appropriate display rack, this could be displayed in lots of places. Please don't wreck it.
get michaelcthulhu to swing one of his swords at it
That is just completely amazing. This has been the first KZread video I’ve watched from beginning to end in a long time! So entertaining and impressive. Great job both of you guys.
This dude so clearly loves blacksmithing it's great
It’s a cool project just trying to figure out why lol
Hey instead of doing something silly with it, why don’t you hook it to a spreader beam and drag it behind a tractor to level gravel roads and bust up dirt clods in a field like a harrow. THAT ACTUALLY WOULD BE USEFUL.! It would be cool to see it shot by a giant arrow fired from a cannon though.......
dude you should shoot a giant medieval ballista at it!
That's a solid helper. Knows where to be and when to be there
Forge an arrow head relative to that!
Drive a car into it!
AMAZING!! Beautiful, awesome craftsmanship....
What a fun and entertaining channel this has turned out to be! At such a young age to be so knowledgeable and experienced at what you do. Got a good chuckle at when you donned on the chain mail at the beginning.. Thanks for that ;) Good luck with your future endeavours! From Halifax, Cheers! Stay Safe!

Its funny seeing the rivet machine walk across the shop floor in the timelapses
Loved the little Easter eggs in the stop motion time lapse!
Wow! Incredible work dude!
Probably one of the best things Ive seen on YT. The idea , planning and execution are fabulous. That is what it is all about, Think BIGG. Well done , men. Stop making pocket knives and bobbles for your key ring. Alex Steele , the gaunlet has been laid down. You must take up the challenge. And congratulations to your dad and mum for producing you. I also think this should be in a public place. More power to your arm.
That thing is massive!!! What a feat! Good job!!!!!
I have seen a lot of impressive projects, but this is by far the most ambitious and impressive project I have ever seen, by a long shot!!!
This is the most inspirational documentary personal autobiography I've ever watched.
Seeing the heat waves in the air coming off that ring at 18:42 I can almost feel it. The stop animation was amazing, nice touch!
I love the way a regular chain looks next to this
Awesome video!! I love how you even played with the small things like the rivets marching around in the stop animation time lapse shot! Good stuff!
Martin looking swol AF when pulling that chainmail
Dude don't destroy that! Somebody would buy that, that's a piece of Art! I'm telling you you can make a killing on that! There's a buyer for everything and that being the largest chain mail would attract a buyer easily. Just something to think about and what a great job awesome!
Wow, never seen nothing like that before. A true craftsman you are. You and Martin work really well together.
AWESOME !!!!!! ty for sharing your creativity !!! true ARTISTRY .......!!!!
Outstanding work! What a monumental challenge it gives me a new appreciation for chainmail👍
The time lapse was super cool!
Firing a ballista at it would be so cool! Then after that a cannonball
That’s hilarious and awesome at the same time, I’m glad I found this channel
Love the idea, and such amazing enthusiasm!
Good job, Timothy! Your dad recommended I check this video out and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Fascinating stuff!
Great channel! Can't wait to see more projets!
This would make an amazing gate!
This is a great example of "doesnt lookheavy, but is extremely heavy,
It's absolutely amazing that you did a freaking stop motion film while doing all of this work. Love it.
I'm so glad to see you got the press working.
I have to say this is definitely a display of determination and dedication.
Bravo!!! You and your bud are straight “Savage Beasts”!!! I mean that with my deepest respect!! Cheers from Chicago!
If it’s not a giant mail shirt it’s no doubt a proper giant mail handkerchief 😊
That is one excellent set of chain harrows! ; ) May need a big tractor to pull them though. Great work and well done guys.
Just amazing! What an effort, it is incredible! How could you afford to make this? The animated video looked great!! Even the rivets were moving around, incredible! Thanks for sharing.
Very Cool! Great work Tim!
Holy hell this time-lapse was amazing! Your video is really beautiful!
Amazing work, and I love the stop motion time laps at the end!
Интересный токарный станок у вас 👍
That just looks like it should become part of a playground. That would be incredibly fun to climb!
Awesome stuff man! Really incredible!
Really awesome project man. Respect
Straight off the set of GOT!
You guys should build a trebuchet and blast the chainmail with different weights of projectile to see how much force it takes to effectively disrupt it. Great build by the way, super cool.
Epic! Should turn it into a bridge for trucks!
Needs to be layed out on the ground and then welded to a frame using staples through the edge rings, just hanging it kind of looses the symmetry it has and narrows it up. By far one of the coolest sculptures you could have made, hats of to you Bud nice job.
Nevermind... just saw the other video. AWESOME!!!
Dam dude, bloody well done!
You are a genius man . Thank you Tim for such creativity 👍
This is amazing great job
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya Prayers
It would make an excellent drag for dirt or stone drive.
Thats cool as hell!!
This guy is so interesting and active i really love his job
Mate the end time lapse ..... we’ll done so good 👍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍👍🏼👍
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
That's funny, on the timelapse when you close the rings with the rivets, we can clearly see the upseter machine moving in the back rivet after rivet :D
Practice use ideas: 1. It could be used as a pathway for getting big machinery unstuck from mud. 2. It could be used for a big crane to prevent sink age on a foot. 3. It could be used as a drop gate for a castle murder hole. 4. Permanent wall to create a breezeway, but also create security this spawned another idea, do the same size rings but smaller bar to make it much lighter and then weld some garage door wheels and use it as a way to secure the building but keep it "open"
Beautiful video! and GREAT, GREAT WORK! Congratulations also for the sympathy you have shown. Greetings from Italy
This is awesome! Be careful, this is the type of stuff that starts a T.V. Series 🎬 Epic!
