Okay so I scored a 20” X 20” sheet of flat ring riveted maille on Ebay from one of the Indian vendors for $85. Can anyone guess what I’m going to do with it? Go on and guess! Give up?  ???

Redo my butted maille sabatons because I’m too lazy to do them with my rivet tool and loose rings. This sheet will save me oodles of hours!  ;D

I was going to say "fauld and excessive weight loss", but mail sabatons is probably a better option :)

Yeah, somehow I think this one would be a bit more traumatic. :)

Depends on rivet placement.  ;)
