Overview

The creator shows a simple lamp and an inspiration photo of a chain mail lamp, then documents the entire DIY process. This includes pouring out thousands of small metal rings, meticulously linking them together with pliers to create a large sheet of chain mail, and finally attaching the finished chain mail to the lamp frame to reveal the final, illuminated product.
