Wow that's really cool Tamren, I haven't had a lot of time to do much lately, but I definitely haven't tired of it either.
For a moment there, I thought of chain mail as chain messages, like those horrendous facebook/email spams with terrible spelling and usually some crappy political message. I raged for a second
But this is cooler
Awesomeness
Tamren you should not be playing videogames, go call Peter Jackson and put those babies to good use.
This gave me a nerd boner. I have zero knowledge on the subject but just looking at it I can't help but think of this in a mathematical way and it's just so beautiful. Congrats Tamren, hope you're rigth on being an innovator on the area and hope you get some well deserved recognition for this.
Very cool, just reading through the thread and seeing what is going on. High nerd factor! LOVE IT!

That is a thing of beauty, now go check for patents, and start an assembly line so you can begin defense contract negotiations!
May the arrows of your enemies fall, splintered, to the ground!

What on earth would Peter Jackson need these for? o_O

Well, if someone ever makes a Greyhawk movie, they'll need lots of... Chainmail..

Also I forgot to mention. The piece is symmetrical. So if you flip it over and rotate it 90 degrees it will look exactly the same.
More pix to follow soon.
Actually, get in touch with Richard Taylor, the head of WETA, he's the one calling the shots regarding "props". The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition has an awesome featurette on the custome/prop making production where they interview the chainmail artists, who spent around a year doing nothing else than weaving chainmail, I bet they're gonna be interested on what you're doing here : )
If I were you I would look up the weaves in some of the more popular sites and see if anyone has made it before. If not then submit it to them, I believe you get to name your own weaves that you submit.

I always liked the weaves and chains that had orbitals in them. Not attached to anything, but still trapped in the pattern. Muahahaha!
I'm so incredibly impressed. This would drive me to madness. Well done!
Also, every time I read this thread title, it always reads as "Gamers with Hobbes" to me.
Don't worry, Hobbes2099, it's not because I think you're slutty, it's this damn dyslexia, you see...
If any of you guys are going to the Vancouver slap n tickle I might bring this with me so you guys can watch me finish it.
I was hoping to identify you as the only person dressed in chainmail.
