Hi,
I'm just starting my first project in maille, and was wondering if anyone has some pointers. Also, what is a good gauge to use. I just cut about two hundred in 14 gauge and now have bruises all along my palm.
thanks,
Brian

Go to

Buy some fingerless gloves. I found some at a local hardware store, but you might find them at a sporting goods store also. The ones I found had padded palms.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this page:
http://mailartisans.orgMAIL should be able to give you more information than you ever thought to look for
