I did try to assemble my scale maille, but there was too much of a curve so I had to cut them further. I haven't had time to try to assemble again, and I won't until after the exam on Friday.
I am also making rings as I have time. When I need a break from studying I will make 20 or so more rings. I have to get back to studying so I am going to just do a photo dump and come back later to explain.
