Thanks for watching. Dave ; )
I really enjoy your tutorials. I wanted to ask how you figure the aspect ratios. I am looking to make a wallet chain and I like the way your work is tight and not loose. What is the mathematical formula you use to keep it tight?
The all important thing is to keep the same AR, as long as you do that, your chain will look the same regardless of material or size. Check out my Byzantine video for an explanation of AR. But simply, the aspect ratio is the inner diameter of the jump ring (IE the size of the mandrel) divided by the diameter of the wire. You need to work in mm. So in my case the rings I use are 1mm diameter and have an inner diameter of 5mm. So...
5mm divided by 1mm = AR 5
if you think about it, this means that 5 wires will fit across the diameter of one jump ring. Hence it determines how tight a chain you can make. A basic belcher chain for example could be made (just) with AR 2. as long as you can get two rings through another you can make a belcher. But in the case of the Persian 6 in 1 here, the clue is in the title. Six rings go through each one, so the inner diameter needs to accommodate six wires. Obviously this varies depending on the pattern of the chain. But hence you see where we end up with an AR of 5 to 6 for a nice looking Persian.
You can also flip the equation round too... Lets say you have some 1.2 mm wire and you want to make a Persian. Simple, just multiply the AR (lets say 5) by the diameter of the wire.
1.2mm wire X 5 AR = 6 mm mandrel.
So just grab a 6mm mandrel and you'll get a nice Persian with your 1.2mm wire . But how big will the bracelet be? well that's simple too, imagine looking at a jump ring flat and drawing a line across the middle. You've got
1.2mm wire + 5mm mandrel + 1.2mm wire. Hence the outer diameter of the rings and bracelet will be 7.4mm (or in other words double the wire, plus the mandrel).
Likewise say you have some jump rings. 7.2 mm outside diameter, made from 1.2mm wire. can you use these for a Persian? well, you just need to work out the AR. So if its 7.2mm diameter then , Simply subtract two lots of wire.
7.2 outside - 1.2 wire - 1.2 wire = 4.5mm inside diameter
With the wire and inner diameter we can now calculate the AR thus... 4.5 inside dia / 1.2 wire = 3.75 AR
That's way to tight and would not work for a Persian 6 in 1. (remember we need 5 to 6 AR) However a great ratio for a byzantine is 3.5 to 4 AR. so whilst these rings wouldn't make a Persian, they'd make a great byzantine.
Inner diameter / wire diameter =AR
Wire diameter X AR = Inner diameter (the mandrel size required)
Wire diameter + mandrel Diameter + Wire diameter = outside diameter (width of final bracelet).
Outer diameter - Wire diameter - wire diameter = Inner diameter (mandrel)
Perhaps I should make a video on all this. Hope this helps. Dave
Celtic Dreams that is exactly what I was looking for! I appreciate the time and effort to explain it!
Mauricio Martinez wow
@@CelticDreamsCoUk Thank you so much Dave....at last, I am finally 'getting it' - have read so much about the dreaded AR in the past but hadn't been able to understand the why's and wherefore's, probably because of the way the articles had been worded!
Brilliant!
all written out for you here.... pepetools.com/blogs/news/aspect-ratio-the-magic-number-for-making-perfect-jump-rings-and-chains
This was fantastic thank you so much, I kept trying and failing until I found your video
Glad I could help! Dave
I have to agree with you that the flip method is the simplest path to make the Persian weave. A very comprehensive video, easy to follow.
Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Glad it was helpful! Dave
Nice! Thank you. ☺️🌸 I like the no soldering method.
Glad it was helpful! As a few others have asked me. As long as you stick to the suggested ratios, most chainmail designs don't need to be soldered. I weld mine, but this is mainly to improve the finish and add value, rather than any real structural strength. Cut them cleanly with a saw and they will be fine. Dave
Not even half way through and I must stop the video to say thank you for both the simplicity of your explanation and the clear view of your handiwork.
You're very welcome! Thanks for such a lovely comment. I hope you have a go. Its quite easy once you get going. Dave
Excellent! By far the best tutorial for the Persian chain mail on the Internet!!!
Thank you, very kind. Perhaps check out my persian cross video too. Dave
Thank you so much for your videos. I recently began chainmaille and I've learned byzantine AND now the persian from you!
Wonderful! Enjoy !. Dave
Learned this easily. You are the best teacher on chainmail that I have seen on UA-cam.
I've been trying to find a good tutorial on fire wyrm and dragon scale.
Thanks. I'm not familiar with those weaves, but he link below is probably the best site I've come across for info. hope it helps. Dave
www.mailleartisans.org/weaves/weavedisplay.php?key=661
That is the easiest explanation on chain mail that I have seen and I got the weave straight away
Thank you. Do check out my byzantine video too. Quite easy to do. Thanks for watching. Dave

Love listening to Dave explain how to make these!
Thankyou, very kind. Dave
Thank you. I'm in the process of designing some Celtic jewelry and I can't get enough of how beautiful this style is.
You are so welcome! Check out my Byzantine video too, equally easy to do, but probably my favourite. Dave
You are the best! I love your instruction, and I love the birds in the background. Delightful!
Thank you! Cheers! Dave
I think the studies you did to build your skill in teaching came from a natural propensity. You are the best maille instructor on YT.
Thank you. I have been a University and college lecturer for 20 years, with four teaching certificates, A Postgraduate certificate of education, and a Masters in Education. Along with work on educational psychology in two published books. Perhaps I have a natural confidence, but my ability to teach comes from a lot of study and planning. I plan each video like a lesson, considering carefully all the information I need to impart and what knowledge my audience might or might not already have. Some of my videos take weeks to plan. So It's very nice of you to recognise that work. Thanks for watching. Enjoy. Dave
@@CelticDreamsCoUk I think you built on your natural abilities. Some people are born teachers and you're one of them.
Really enjoying your tutorial videos, Thank you!
You're very welcome! Dave
You are so osm please don't leave UA-cam your video your voice is perfect for me and please make more videos 🙇👍
Thank you. Yes I'm still here and making videos. I was very busy over xmas with commissions. But still here! More chain mail projects coming. Thanks for watching. Dave
Really good video - i made my first chain mail bracelet out of sterling silver jump rings for my wife and I am really pleased with it. Thanks for your videos.
That is awesome! Dave
Ty, I've been trying this weave with no luck for hours from other videos. But with your video, I picked it up in 5 min. Thank you. FYI, this also seems to be the easiest technique forsmall AR rings
Glad I could help! Dave.
You are cool. I love how you explain and show step by step how to make this wonderful weave. Thanks, God bless.
Thanks for the lovely comments. Note I have also made videos on the Persian Cross, and also the Byzantine. Do check them out. Dave
What an awesome tutorial! Thank you for explaining and demonstrating the process in such a clear way. I appreciate you sharing your skills with others. 😊
You are so welcome! Dave
Thank you. Finally a video out there with some sound and someone who will explain the step by step process that is needed!
Thanks for such a lovely comment. Glad you appreciate the video. Thanks for watching. Dave
thats the best demonstration of chain mail i have seen so far!!!!! thank u so much.
Thanks. Perhaps check out my Byzantine video below. A very nice chain but surprisingly easy to do. Dave

Verna Johnson yes
I love these mail demonstrations!!! The teacher is not only knowledgeable, but patient, and very personable as well as being very handsome in the way that is unique to the Irish Scottish and welsh...I agree with the last commenter, best chain mail videos ever! thank you for making and sharing them☺
Well thank you for such lovely kind words. But I'm neither Irish, Scottish, nor Welsh...... I'm English. Dave to see what I really look like without an optivisor on my head, check out my video here. Dave ua-cam.com/video/B8nF4vREGP8/v-deo.html
Started this tonight for the wife for her Christmas present, thank you dave your the best👍
Good luck. Dave
Glad to have found you - thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge.
Well, Thanks for taking the time to watch and to leave such a lovely comment. Its ver much appreciated. Dave
Excellent - truly excellent explanation of the 6-in-1 chain. Finally I can make one that has not been thrown at the wall - LOL.
It's really just a matter of understanding the flip move, once you've got that it's all pretty quick and easy. Good luck. Dave
Thank you so much. I have been trying to get this weave for months. Finally I've conquered it. Your method is so much easier than the others
Glad I could help! Dave
The best tutorial ever!!! Thank you!!!👍👍👍👍
Glad you think so! You’re welcome 😊 Dave
Thanks for this demo, I've always wanted to learn to make full persian but it always seemed to complicated.
You can do it! Thanks for watching,Dave
American friend over here! Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Dave
This is a great tutorial. You're an excellent teacher sir. Wish you would make more of these.
Thanks you. See also the Byzantine. Dave

Glad to have found you - thank you
You are so welcome. Dave
Took me about an hour to figure it out but it wouldnt have been possible without this
Fiddly, but once you've got, you're away. Enjoy your new skills. Dave
Omg you replied i just wanna say thank you so so much. I used what you said in the video to make tabs for zippers on my school bag about six loops long lol
Unbelievably beautiful demo!!! Thank you so much!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching. Perhaps check out my Byzantine too. Dave ua-cam.com/video/OmNRbWeKASM/v-deo.html
Fantastic! Dave, I love this bracelet. thank you for sharing.
You're Welcome.. It's not easy to explain that flip move. It took a few days and I even had to make the larger bracelet to show it. Hope it all makes sense. Thanks for watching. Dave
Thank you so much! Just watched, six hours gone and a bracelet done)
Wonderfull. Well done. Dave
I have a dozen years' experience in training people for various jobs; it positively delights me to see you presenting information in different ways with different indicators; you've made the process as accessible as possible for many different people- thank you!
Wow, such a lovely comment. Thank you. When I am not making jewellery, I have been a university lecturer for over 18 years, specialising in media production. So I guess I have a rare set of skills in being able to make jewellery but also present it, and film it. Thanks for the lovely comments and for taking the time to do so. Its very much appreciated and these comments are why I do it (No adverts !). Kind regards. Dave
Mee too i have worked all my life as a banker.but creativity is in my blood.lately i am hooked on to mak ing beaded jewellery.i am addicted to this craft.HA!
Great lesson! The close ups were very helpful. And a very nice piece.
Please more lessons!
Thanx!
More coming. I presume you've seethe my byzantine video too. Dave
yes I have! Great stuff! Are you familiar with Alexander Ritchies work from the early 1900's? I have a couple of his pieces that I have cast. Talk about knot-work! wow! thanx again!
I am impressed and I know when I start doing this I will watch your clips and follow it. Awesome channel and I am grateful to have you as a teacher lol. Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Very kind of you. Thanks for watching. Dave
Swedish Viking yes
Ah-ha! That flip around move is genius. Far less fiddly for my fumble fingers! Your byzantine demo was also very helpful for beginners like me. Thank you very much!
I found it the simplest of the techniques and the easiest to follow. good luck whit it. Thanks for watching. Dave
Absolutely beautiful! You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!
You're welcome. Perhaps check out the Byzantine too. Dave
Perfect! This video made this so easy to learn. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!
Thanks for watching. Dave
THANK YOU for posting this excellent tutorial! I've struggled to teach myself the full Persian weave for months. Your video is so easy to follow that I easily learned the weave in less than 15 minutes! You're one of the good guys, Dave. Thanks again.
Thanks for such a lovely comment, its appreciated. Note I also have videos on the Full Persian Cross and the byzantine too. Thanks for watching. Dave
Yo one of the clearest explanations on youtube
Making it for my dog
Why not. Thanks for watching. Dave
I'm new to this. Really new. I found your vid, and decided I wanted to try this design. I also decided to watch another vid, just to see. I made it about 2 minutes into the vid, and I was so confused, I quit watching. My point is, if I had found the other vid first, I probably wouldn't have wanted to even try. This is an awesome vid, and you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you.
What a wonderful thing to say. Thank you for those words. Indeed this is why I made the video, It's easy to do, but very hard to explain and many people miss out important details like the ratios and how to finish the chain. My intention was to explain it clearly from start to finish so that anyone could have a go. I hope you managed it. Do checkout my Byzantine tutorial too, a beautiful chain but very easy to do. Thanks for watching. Dave

My very first chain came out perfect! Thanks for the tutorial!
Great. Thanks for sharing that. So pleased, I've inspired someone else. Try the byzantine, its easy when you know how. Dave.
Good video! Helped me a lot. Before this one, i watched some 3-4 tutorials and they were bad, this one is easy and very simple to understand! Thank you Celtic Dreams!
Glad it helped! Dave
@@CelticDreamsCoUk thank you.Have a nice day ;)
I made a bracelet about 2 years ago starting with this video. Last night it broke, cause I used copper and steel rings. The copper is obviously softer so it's been shaving through and stretching more than I thought. Came back to the tutorial again and it works every time. Thank you.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching. Dave
Excellent tutorial.
I find it easier to go through the sides, first.
Thank you so much for making these tutorials. : )
Thanks for the comments. Dave
Thanks so much! I was ready to give up on this weave, but you got me on track.
Thanks for sharing that. Great to hear you managed it. Well done. Should be much easier in future now you've got it. Dave
Very descriptive. thank you for including conversion of measurements between US and European units.
It seems a lot of my followers are American, So I do try and show both. Thanks for watching. Dave
Thanks for your videos. They are my favorites among chainmaille tutorials. I did want to pass on a small variation I stumbled across. For the flip step, I find it easier to thread the new ring through the v-shaped rings first, then thread through the two just-added loose rings. As far as I can tell, the outcome is the same but I get the fiddly bit out of the way with maximum control over the ring I'm threading. Thanks again. Can't wait for the next weave tutorial.
Thanks for sharing. Difficult to read it, but ill try it and see what you mean. there are different ways, of making the same chain. Thanks for your input. Dave
I have to say I could spend all my free time watching your videos. Here in America we need that extra help you so pain stakingly provided us. I understood what your doing your a very good teacher thanks big guy my hats off to you. Loved your video so much after I finish this comment I'm going to subscribe.
Thanks for the lovely comments. This is why I do it. (Note no adverts or spam). Just sharing my passion and helping to inspire others. many thanks. Dave
Thank you Dave!! This is by far THE most straightforward, direct, shortest, and most informative tutorial video I’ve seen. You make it so simple to understand with your concise wording and extremely clear video. Definitely going to be looking st more of your videos. Keep up the beautiful work! ❤️
You're very welcome! Perhaps check out the byzantine too. Very easy to do once you know how. Dave ua-cam.com/video/OmNRbWeKASM/v-deo.html
Please make more videos you are a great teacher and you explain it so well
The chain mail videos seem to be popular, so few more of those to come. Thanks for watching.Dave
Love you tutorials, best descriptions and explanations, thanks
Thank you. very kind.Dave
Amaging, very nice. It's little difficult but you are an excellent teacher. I like the way you teach. Thabks a lot.
You are welcome 😊 Its quite easy once you get that flip move. Anyone can do it. Dave.
This is my favorite channel. You're the best instructor.
Thank you very kind. My intention is always to assume nothing and to show everything from start to finish clearly. Hopefully I have managed to do that, with what is a somewhat tricky thing to explain. Thanks for watching. Dave
Thank you SO very much! Best tutorial EVER!♥
Thanks for taking the time to comments. Its appreciated. Dave
I really enjoyed making the bracelet. It was my first attempt at making Persian 6 in 1 chainmail. Intense!! But loved it. Thank You.
You are so welcome! Difficult at first, but now you have it - it's easy. Enjoy your new skills. Dave
i störted this video just now, and i already love it!
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for watching. Dave
@@CelticDreamsCoUk haha just being mean. your accent sounds funny when you say "started". it sounds just like the swedish letter "ö"
It's friggn Anthony Hopkins making cool chains.
Thanks for watching. Dave
Thank you so much for this flip trick! So much easier than the method I was using! Much appreciated!
Thanks for that. I did study al the methods I could find, and found this to be the simplest that I could explain for others to follow. Appreciated. Dave
I really enjoyed watching this video Mr. Wilson, your bracket and instructions are awesome! I am inspired to make one for my husband for Father's day, thank you!
Thanks. Perhaps check out the Byzantine video too, perhaps a little easier to make. Dave ua-cam.com/video/OmNRbWeKASM/v-deo.html
I want you to know I have learned MORE from your tutorials than I have from ANY other source. I am in the USA and there is no one that even comes close to your quality and ability to demonstrate and explain your techniques. Thank you thank you thank you!! Please keep up your excellent work and know it is greatly appreciated.
Well. Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave such a lovely comment. And that's the exact reason why I do it. To know that people are enjoying my videos and that I am helping other like minded people to learn and make jewellery is a great reward. . PS if you haven already do check out the byzantine too.

Great video! .... Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow! Thank you!
You're welcome! Dave
Yes you are the one of tha best Goldsmith
Very kind, thanks for watching. Dave
Ty for your talent ad for sharing such great step by step instructions !! I finally made a Byzantine bracelet by your instructions and will try this ! Ty. Ty 🤩
Wonderful! Enjoy your new skills. Dave
Your videos are the best!
Glad you like them! Dave
Спасибо что так подробно всё объясняете.Thank you for explaining everything in such detail.
Your welcome. Dave
You're welcome. Dave
I'm new to chain mail and your video is so helpful!!! Took a few tries but I got it!! thank u!!
Perhaps not the easiest to start with. I'd always recommend the Byzantine as a starter, ts surprisingly simple once you know how. Thanks for watching. I hope I've inspired you. Dave
ua-cam.com/video/OmNRbWeKASM/v-deo.html
You really made it look easy and very clear, thank you!
Easy when you know how, as they say. But it really is. Once you get that flip move, you can sit there with a cup of tea watching the TV. It’s quite relaxing. I do hope you have a go. Thanks for watching, Dave.
Nice Video. I make chains and chainmail since I'm 15 years old, and this gives me the inspiration to try and make one of these chains once again, but better this time. I love the way you say "hook". Gave me a big smile on my face ;-)
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for you kind words. I'm pleased I have inspired you again. Thanks for watching. Dave
I found this extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks. Do check out the Persian Cross too. Dave ua-cam.com/video/9f-8vmrin50/v-deo.html
Made a Byzantine and just finished a Persian, both in copper. Going to try it in sterling now. Thank you so much for the great videos!
Fantastic! Well done. Thanks for sharing that, it makes the hard work worthwhile. Great to know I have helped inspire others. Enjoy your new skills - and your new jewellery! Thanks for watching, Dave.
Perfectly explained! Thank you so very much!
Thanks for watching. Dave
thanks so much Dave...:)...your explanation really helped a lot....the big piece of info for me that put what you were saying into perspective, was understanding that most jewelry venders are giving the OUTSIDE DIAMETER of the jump rings! and not the inside diameter were it is most important since you need a certain diameter to get the aspect ratio for the piece. thanks again, love your work and your videos....hope to see much more mail vids from ya!
Quite correct, just minus "double the wire diameter" to get the inner diameter or mandrel size. you can then divide that by the wire to get the aspect ratio. Quite simple once you understand it, but essential to getting the right look for your chains. Thanks for watching. Dave
Hi to you, thank you for the tutorial of this video,its really pretty. I’m inspired to make my own bracelet using this method.thank you so much. God bless you.
Thank you. Just stick to the same size rings and its quite easy once you get that flip move. Enjoy. Dave
Thank you, thank you , thank you...I have 5 written tutorials and I just couldn't grasp this weave. Watched your video once and BOOM! I got it.
Great. My planning obviously worked then, and I explained it clearly. Nice to know you managed to get it. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. its appreciated. Dave
Dude, you just made a difficult task extremely doable. I used your thread concept to make a tension board to help me build the chain. I am using a AR 4 ring to make a nice stainless steel chain. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
Glad you got it. Enjoy your new skills ! Dave.
Very easy to follow, and nice close ups. Thank you
Thanks for watching. Dave
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou your tuts are amazing and easy for me to follow so glad I found you on utube I very much appreciate the time and effort you take to share .

Thank you for your great video tutorial these chains are awesome.
Thank you. Dave
bought a lovely necklace with this weave, inspired me to want to learn how to make it. this tutorial is very good and Im looking forward to my chain mail coming in to give it a try!
Good luck. It's easy when you know how. Dave
Very cool. I own a bracelet like this, so it's nice to see how the artist likely accomplished it.
Yep, always the same way. Thanks for watching. Dave
Very pretty, thanks for sharing
Thank you! 😊 Dave
I love this video! It's so clear and easy to see. Thank you. :)
That was my intention. I hope it inspires you to have a go. Dave
Returning to chain maille after a good few years on other hobbies, badly needed a reminder/refresher, especially on my favourite weave, the Full Persian. Your tutorial video is excellent, thanks! Have got the chain maille bug again :)
