Neoprene and anodized aluminum bracelets have become fairly popular of late, but it isn’t always self-evident how to do certain weaves with the neoprene rings where you want them to be.

Half Persian 3 in 1 and Half Persian 4 in 1 are easy to do with the pre-closed rings, so I won’t go over them in this tutorial. Box Chain also lends itself well to preclosed rings. European 4 in 1 and European 6 in 1 are easy to do with the neoprene on the outside edges, but it’s a little more complicated to have it down the middle row, so I go over how to do that for both.

I’ve also listed a couple of ways to do Byzantine, and how to do Spiral 4 in 1 as well. In all of the following pictures, the preclosed (neoprene) are black, and the open rings are colored: orange, violet, and brass. Byzantine with Neoprene Connectors 1. 2. 3. 4.

Scroll saw jig for cutting jump rings. My son volunteered to teach a basic chainmail workshop at a family camp.

Scroll saw jig for cutting jump rings

He had two hours and wanted to give the students ready made rings - but it's no fun to cut so many rings by hand. A search online showed many variations on cutting jump rings with a jeweler's saw and variations on using a rotary tool/flexshaft with a circular jewelry blade and some kind of jig to hold the coils steady for sawing. Well, we don't have a jeweler's saw or small, very thin rotary blades... but I have my trusty RBI Hawk scroll saw. Mmmmm. Here's what I came up with using stuff from the garage: This is faster than handsawing jumprings, but not as fast as a dedicated rotaty saw jump ring cutter. I used: optional drill driver to help speed up coiling the wire small wood dowels or skewers the same size as the coil mandrels. Wire of your choice: Any non-ferrous (no iron or steel) wire should work, but test a small sample before you coil up tons of rings.
