On the art of chainmaille - making a coif part 4

The top of the coif is the most complex part of it, so it gets a separate posting.


Now, how to get his done.




This shows the process only to the second line. You should keep adding rows until the necessary size is achieved.

Плетене на ризници койф, част 4

Така,
правенето на капака е най-сложното в целия койф. Като си правих първия, съвсем го минах през просото, и оттам излезе еди прякор "Плешивото петно", но това е друга история.

Как се прави това



По същата схема се продължава ред по ред докато не стане колкото голямо е нужно.

New look!

Finally got rid of the basic template. Admittedly it was a sour sight. This one ain't set yet though, I still have a lot of fiddling to do in the code. Now the blog looks more pleasant to the eye.

On the art of Chainmaille - Do-it-yourself Golden bracelet

Ok I made another gift for my girlfriend. So what?









If someone feels tempted, especially considering the rising price of gold, to come and rob me, don't bother. Its gold plated copper rings, not actual gold, you may fool someone on the flea market, but a real buyer will laugh at you.

Златна гривна направи-си-сам.

Добре де, направих още едно "бижу" за подарък на гаджето. И те така. Проблем?

On the art of Chainmaille - making a coif part 3

Right, we are down to the top piece. Here is a finished one. The top is the most complex part of it, so it's making will be shown separately.



We start attaching it. Might be best to put something inside.


And we are done in no time.



Now we have a completely usable coif, but we are not finished yet.



There is one last bit to attach and that's the mantle, but we will get to it soon.

Плетене на ризници - койф част 3

Така, опряхме до капака, време е да го слагаме.Ето един завършен капак на койф. Той е най-сложното в цялата конструкция и ще бъде показано как се прави отделно.



Започваме да го монтираме. Най добре е да се подпъхне нещо отдолу.


И готово.



Койфът вече е използваем макар и недовършен.




Последното което ще се добави е мантията.

Last day of freedom

Well, its on tomorrow - official ceremony and all that aaaaaand the university year starts in earnest. Can't say I am too happy about that. Program for the first semester is already out and it seems I will be busy 6 days in the week. Adding injury to insult, most of the lectures and courses are around midday, which means that with travelling time included, I will use up the whole day no matter how many hours I actually have there. That will mess up my intern job like nothing else. Quite annoying really. Being last year as I said before does not help things, state exams etc and a full time job are waiting on the horizon, and the fact that I have lost much of my initial taste for studying law and practising it brings some bad implications. I am not too thrilled with an attorney's position - now that I have seen the system first hand. True law is not limited to attorneys and lawyers, there are many other jobs for someone who has studied it, but a quick search has shown me, law students are among those have the hardest time finding a job relevant to their studies. I can't even start something else in the same university. Since its state sponsored, taxes for the semester are very low, but you can't sign in again once go through it once even if you are willing to pay much more. That leaves only the private universities as a possible choice and they are expensive to say the least.
