Patience! my god...linking chain is the most boring, mind melting thing
I've ever had to do in my life, but then no one else was going to make my
hauberk for me :) After the first 25000 links I couldn't feel the pain from
my hands cramping...after the week's worth of nights it took me to finish
the damn thing it looked like I had chronic arthritis in my hands from
holding the damned pliers...A total of 35000 links for a long sleeved
hauberk that fell to the knees and a coif. :) Aint the crusades fun woot! ;)
