| Post subject: | heavy guage |
I have just bought some heavy leather and am trying to figure out what I am going to do with it. I am going through the learning process of hardening the leather and I am also thinking about adding rings. The question I have now is this: Metal rings give a +1, so If I use 12 gauge rings will I be able to add a +2 or not? The rules are kind of vague about the adding and subtracting of points for the add-ons. Thanks again. Xenhei, Regent of Midnight Rain |

The rings will give +1. The +1 for heavy guage materials is for the base material. So if the leather was at least 1/4" thick it could get that bonus. You can still get a bonus for superior construction, etc. But that is subjective and will vary from reeve to reeve. |

this is almost on topic....or at least similar: will 14 gauge aluminum hold up for chainmail? |

will 14 gauge aluminum hold up for chainmail? Yes, even 16 gauge alum will hold up but may need to be repaired more frequently. I am working on a 16 gauge steel piece right now. Do people still give a -1 on aluminum as it was in the past? How much are you paying for aluminum? Steel is under $18 for 14gauge 1/3mile @ Farm & Tractor stores |

The minimum for chain mail is 16 gauge, so 14 gauge would get a +1 for heavier gauge, but the aluminum would be a -1 for materials. So it would still be 3pts for a 4 on 1 standard pattern. This is , of course, subject to the reeve seeing the product and determining if the heavier gauge aluminum is still sturdy enough to be as effective as 16 gauge steel. |
