I combine knitting and metal working. I just started making my own chainmail. Les than $50 in tools to start. $6 will get you 200 feet of 16 gauge galvanized wire at Home Depot. Its very slow going, but that is what I like about it. It occupies my mind enough that I can filter out whatever garbage the wife or kids are watching on TV, but still know what is going on and being said around me. You can take the work with you in a small Crown Royal bag and do it while your waiting in the dentist’s office.
You mean you’re not into American Idol? LOL!
