I have been making Chainmail armour and jewelry since 1992, a bit more than half my life. I began making armour from fencing and electrical wire that I found around the house and barn. From those first steps I have learned many of the different weaves and patterns of European, Japanese, and Persian mail and much of the history and historical usage of the different armour types. I am constantly fascinated in the mutability of chains from their original design types and chainmail families, with only a small nudge and they become something completely different. With fusing and soldering, chains can be stretched and their need for intrinsic strength (thick wire) can be overcome to create non-traditional designs that build on, but differ from their parent chains.

This catolog showcases both past and current work.
