It is a long piece of work, but you only will need timeand patience, for no special skill is required.

If yuo make a suit made of 8mm flat rings, you will need about 130/140 rings per line to get 100cm diameter. With 6mm rings, you will need about 180 rings per line. For a short sleeves one, you ll need about 25.000 6mm rings (13kg), or 20.000 8mm rings (25kg).

8mm rings. 10 rings forr 7.5cm

6mm rings. 10 rings for 5.8cm

6mm and 8mm rings

When you have calculated hwo many rings you need, just use a wire trough the exact number of rings. Then, begin to place a second row of rings (each ring taking two rings of the upper row) and keep going, row after row. You'll make a nice mail cylinder. You will be able to put 400/450 rings in place per hour afetre a few time (that is to say after 2000 rings !)
