On bottom is the stainless steel JPL I made a while ago, which has 16g 3/16 rings, and on top is the smaller one I'm working on, which has bright aluminum 18g 1/8 rings.

The AR of the smaller one is a bit lower, so it's a bit tighter of a weave. Which makes the creation process slower. D:

Also making the process slower, is the fact that they're 1/8 rings(not exactly the easiest size to work with). If you need a size comparison to see how small they really are, I'll take another pic =P
