Complete Chainmail Kit - 20 Weave Tutorial Book, 23,000+ Rings(Over 4 Pounds), Clasps, and Tools

Easy to work with

This is an awesome Chainmail kit so many great patterns and very easy to follow instructions. The box is beautiful with chainmail patterns and there are so many jumprings. This definitely takes the guess work out of trying to figure out the sizes because they are all included. Great kit I highly recommend this I have purchased jump rings from Chainmail Joe before the jump rings are well made high quality.

1) I do like that the book uses different colored links to illustrate new patterns - I wish there were the same colored links to practice with in the kit. 2) While the book included in the kit is well written and the pictures are crystal clear, it may not be helpful for some learners. Youtube can help- keep searching the pattern you are trying and eventually you will find someone who explains in a way that you understand. 3) I purchased this kit for my classroom, and found there to be enough rings for 9 kids to work on several different projects, with plenty left over. Its a good starter kit for small projects. 4) Chainmail Joe has amazing customer service! I emailed the company to try and figure out what I needed for our class & they were outstanding in helping me sort through my confusion.

You get a lot of jump rings in different sizes. Jump rings seem strong. The instruction book is very well done. I had a minor problem with one of the pliers, so I sent the seller a message. They immediately took care of it. Highly recommend this kit and I would buy it again! Im excited to try another weave out of the book.

I am quite happy with this purchase as well as other individual bags of Chainmail Joes anodized aluminum rings to complement this kit. Easy to open and close - a nice variety of sizes. Great for someone who is starting out like me.

awesome for jewelry making

Good beginners kit with a nice variety of jump rings. The box makes a good shipping container but is inadequate for storing weaves in progress. The bags of jump rings are not closable so you will need to get ziplock bags to store open bags. The book is somewhat good but really needs to be supplemented with more videos on Chainmail Joes YouTube channel which offers only a tour of the book.

Well written instructions and clear photography. Easy to learn most basic weaves. Not enough to practice more than once or twice per weave, but its easy to buy the rings you want.

Very well put together kit. Great for beginner or advanced maillers. Thank you Chainmail Joe!

I think overall Im glad I purchased this kit because I havent seen a lot of ways to get a bunch of different sizes to try. The tutorial book is fantastic--very clear, nice images, and I like that its spiral bound. I know the book is sold on its own and I would completely recommend it and rate it 5 stars. I dont know that I will be using the pliers that came with this at all. The handles feel really rough and this is the only place Ive seen recommend using two bent nose pliers. I dont think I like the feel of that. To be honest Im a bit surprised about the rave reviews on their jump rings. I am new to this hobby and have only bought rings from a couple of sources. But these are not quite as bright as the bright aluminum rings I got from somewhere else and they seem to be... shedding? a lot. Theres stuff all over my hands after spending a couple hours on a helm chain. That didnt happen with the other brand I was using. And finally, this is certainly just personal preference, but these jump rings are all the left-handed cut which is a minor annoyance to me. But as I said, there arent a lot of places that offer a variety of sizes to try out and the price is good for the amount you get. Because of that I would recommend this kit for people starting out, but I will probably not be back here for more rings in the future.
