Spent a couple of days putting this together. Not sure that I'm satisfied with the buckle but it's what I put on it. I'm thinking about making mail stuff to sell so I can have some sort of income. It took like 10+ hours of work to finish this belt. It fits me pretty well I wear size 32 jeans and there's about six inches that dangle through the buckle.

I haven't set a price on my stuff but looking around I'd feel kind of bad if I tried to sell my work at comparable rates. I did have one person say, when I asked them, that they'd expect to pay around $40 for the belt. I'd have to alter the pattern a bit on future belts if that's what they will go for, 6in1 chainmail takes about 30% longer than 4in1 does to make a chain the same length, with not a lot of difference in how it looks, just a bit looser. And 8in1, which is what's at the tip before I tapered it, is very tight and takes another 30% longer than 6in1.
I think I'll eventually get aluminum wire and start doing some lighter weight and more colorful stuff. But I need to see how well these things will sell before I start investing too much.
