Word of advice to newbies. Scalemail is European 4-in-1. Every ring and scale must pass through four rings, so between each scale, you should have a ring. Also, to prevent the piece from flipping around and getting all messy and janky on the edges, especially along the bottom taper, edge those, too!

I think you'll find that you get a better hang, without the scales flopping loosely over each other, if you run a couple of courses of 4-in-1 rings along the bottom edge. They'll still be concealed by the bottom row of scales, but they keep the scales from slipping over each other and losing the layering of the pattern.

So excited for this! Just ordered supplies and it will be my first time making chainmail!

I have made two pauldrons now because of this video! I absolutely love them 😊 thank you for helping me find a hobby that's so much fun!!

Hi, do you know approximatively how much time did you need to do the two pauldrons ? (:

So happy to have this tutorial for a possible costume!!!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the easy to follow video and great explanations. I'll be crafting a single pauldron for my Forest Scout that I am putting together.

Started a project for the first time. Your video has been incredibly helpful! ❤

BEAUTIFUL collection

This is the best tutorial! Thank you!!

I just found your content. Very nice work! I'm at the beginning of my scale mail journey and have made a single necklace for a LARP so far. Hoping to integrate chain and scales into my leather armor soon. Keep up the good work!

looks so good

That came out amazing!! ❤

Thank you! This is very helpful. I've already made a scalemail armor shirt, so I'm not new to scalemail, but I wanted to try my hand at a pauldron.

It’s gorgeous, I’d love to make some of my own one day.

Very good tutorial! I was able to make my husband one of these for ren faire! Please make more tutorials!

Kits would be amazing! I love these etched scales so much! TFS ❣️ I'm always up for any kind of chainmaille to pass the time, it's better than SM lol

Exceptional video. I bought scales just like that to make dragon scale bracers, but unfortunately, the rings were the wrong size. But now that I know how to do it from watching your video, I can actually make them!

im so inspired!

The asmr of this video was 👩‍🍳💋 - but also, I can't wait to try this out. Thank you for the discount code!

Amazing and awesome work. This would work great for a Red Sonja cosplay or Tyrrell from the Hobbit movies, as well. 😃👍🧡😊

Love the black piece and would love to make some of that one for a cosplay one day. Just need to save up the money for supplies.

So I literally just found you because of the ring lord XD, and I hope to use this tutorial in a collab with my sister to make some cool leather and scalemaille pauldrons!

Thank you for the tutorial I have a lot more confidence to start scale mail and even my first project!! However I’m planning on making a scale mail dress and I’m scared about how I’m going to plan that out and how much that is going to cost lmao ❤😅

This is just what I needed, I've been wanting to try chainmail and scalemail! How soon is the kit for this coming out?

How many rows of 10 and 9 did you do on you black piece before tapering down?

From the picture it looked like she did three rows of 9 and 10

First! Sending love from Thailand ♥️

i think you could improve the efficiency of opening the rings by lining them in a rod, turning them until they caught against each other on the split end (they should be lined by now) and smack one of the end with a hammer so they twist all at once, sounds like it might work 🤷‍♂😁👍

Hi, have you ever done a strap for two pauldrons? I am thinking it would save me a lot of extra rings to just sort of strap them together instead of making two cross body straps, but I'm not sure if it would work

Question, if you wanted to add more stability, could you go through and add rings to connect rings together on the back side after its put together? If that makes sense or would that create to much bulk and weight?

If you could punch scales from used band saw blades... (Like from a Woodmiser bandsaw mill) it would be unbelievably tough.

Ever consider using rubber Orings for the strapping?

Will you be making kits for your other shoulder pieces like you did for this one? I would get them all 😂

Love the video and am researching how to do my own! The description says you used about 230 scales for this, is that just for one shoulder?

brb, gonna turn cordelia into an adventurer so i have an excuse to make/add pauldrons like this to her costume

What pliers are you using? I am struggling with my pliers but I think it's because they are the small jewelry making ones.

i gotta make a full body suit of this stuff (pray for me y’all)

around how many scales did you use for this piece?

This is beautiful. I did have a question though. How would you go about sizing your body to know if you're a 9 scale girl or not? Lol all I can think is maybe use cloth to outline what I want and see if it fits then line up the scales how they'd lay and compare it to the cloth? 😅

honestly when im measuring things for myself I just play around with it a lot until I find a size that I like! Sometimes I'll initially make something too big and take some scales away or vice versa if I start to small. don't be afraid to experiment with sizing since everything can be undone!

I may have missed this but what size scales are used for this tutorial?

I have a little different and I need advice from you. I made the scale with cardboard and in a circle form if I have to make the shoulder armor from it how do I do it

Im currently messing with smaller scales that are made out of polycarbonate and im currently just having issues with the scales consistently moving in front of other ones so they go out of place. Is it just because of the ring size? Or because of the weight of the scales?

Is this the same video on ringlord? I need help. Im trying to do the arm piece and I got to 10 scales, then 9. But im having trouble going from 9 to 10 again. Trying to get that "straight" line down the arm and having trouble

Beautiful pretty 😍🤩 I love you 💓

Oh no! I have a vision of a whole cape .... I guess it would be okay if I sewed the scales onto a strong fabric....

Hey, is it possible to do scale mail with a straight/flat top instead of a triangle/widening top? And how would you do that? Say for a skirt style piece?

@rebekahtaylor2479

You'd just add more scales on your first row. Like how she did the straight edge portion of the pauldron. Instead of one scale you'd do 30 or something like that, then alternate 30,29,30,29 to keep the edges nice and smooth/straight

While doing other research on making scalemail, I saw something about finishing the edge so the outermost scales don't get out of where they're supposed to be placed? Do you usually do that or like think that's necessary or anything (if so please tell us how)?

that is something I've seen people do! for me personalllyyyyyyy I don't find it necessary so I don't do that on any of my scale projects

What are the scales' sizes? I want to do it completely on my own.

That’s totally okay! Not every tutorial clicked for me when I first started so I watched a handful of different ones until I found a method that made sense to me. Try some others to see if someone has a technique you resonate with!

Not me still confused 😭

I love the chainmail look, and I love the black one you opened with. But the scales you featured in this video I think are a bad fit for scalemail. When you first turned it over and showd us the initial grouping, I couldn't even tell that they were scales. The pattern camoflauges the scales. A much better design for the scales would be something that highlit their edges, enhancing rather than masking the individual nature of them.

Hi ....I like you 😍😍😍😍 can you be my life partner ?????????

rainbow scalemail.... just sayin'

Yea this is totally kewl and def not for me. Lol

Why go to all this effort to make mail that doesn't work as armor ? When with just 10% more effort you could have made a true riveted mail armor ?
