I got around to tailoring my maille finally,
First of all I suck at math without writing it down so doing it with a mathematical calculation and counting was out of the question for me, I decided to measure my arm and make a foam fake arm out of insulation foam and duct tape that was the same width of my arm at all the places with my gambeson on.
I then put it in and measured it off working on cutting a slit into the arm and tying it off where the rings will meet up to seal off the seam
I then gutted it and cut off tons of excess I had to underestimate and put it on and off many times before I finally got it done the right way. I then sealed up the seam only to find out I put too much in the upper arm which I promptly removed
Heres how it was when I was done with it
I then did he same with the left arm but STILL left too much on the upper arm
I then cut more off the top and sealed it with butted links
Sealed it up with the links I cut and now it works as well as blends in seamlessly. Looks and feels a lot better than the bingo wing maille. It's quite easy of you memorize the pattern of 4 in one sometimes doing 5 in one to contract it and always keep the maille smooth. I do have riveted links to replace the butted ones though once my riveting tool comes I plan to do that so it doesnt come apart at all.
