It's probably Kaowool, a type of high-temperature mineral wool made from kaolin, a naturally occurring alumina-silica fire clay. It is commonly used for insulation in kilns, forges, and other high-temperature applications due to its excellent heat resistance and stability.
I've helped my brother male a full chainmail shirt, it's honestly a bit relaxing - throw on some podcasts and get twisting. We would chat about school and shit, it was nice
That is literally how that conversation went. And she's pretty sure she knows exactly what box it is in, and I'm not reaching that box until spring cleaning season hits. I'll try to get back to you guys.

I work with gold daily and I will not make chains by hand. So much work to do this by hand. Most chains are factory made now if I'm not mistaken.

What are stats like. Dex +5 etc these facts are important

I wonder how much actual gold it took to make the chain. Also I thought I was staring at a gif of indestructible corn from the Thumbnail.
ALittleOddish
Oh. Is that all?
AyatollahBahloni
So beautiful and so malleable. And that's graceful work right there.
Captain71
Ohhhhh…
UprootedGrunt
This looks tedious as hell. I presume the gold industry has optimized the hell out of the process.
ickyickywoopwoo
You have more free time than I do, but your hobbies are less exciting.
sonomarco
How many caret gold must it be to allow for this malleability?
sourpants17
It's probably 18-22k. You see a lot of this in Eastern countries, less so in the US.
dev3383
IMO Silver looks so much better then gold.
TheOneWhoSucks
Agreed. The work is impressive, but I think gold just looks tacky.
randomguy365
What is the white stuff at the beginning that it is melted on?

I’m not an expert, but it looks like ceramic fiber insulation

Rock wool!

Exactly, and 20 years ago or prior, Asbestos.

I worked with chain-link for a summer. Made a dice bag. Said never again.

Do you ever wear it as a cup?

Ow. I'm very hairy. No.

One of my friends makes dice bags from chainmaille, alongside bracelets and stuff. I wouldn't have the patience!
TheFoodBaby
Or fingerprints.
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
She still has fingerprints, she doesn't use heat. Just needle nosed pliers to open the rings that she buys online.
TresusIbor
You made a dice bag out of chain link?
nobodyspecial995
Yuppers. 1 link at a time. I've still got it somewhere. I'll see if my wife knows.
DMSledge
I keep mine next to the dice monolith.

"Honey.... do you know where my chain-link dice bag is?... Why?.... Someone on the internet wants to see it...."
