If you are going to sew the chain straight to the glove I recommend using solid rings for the out side edge or failing that riveted links or washers.

when is it?
if its at an alright time might drive down just for a looksee and could drop it to you then
adrian from the ravens has a very handy device for winding "springs" for making the maile. ask him about it i was meant to have a look at taupo but i found a better way 
a friend of mine has a metal lathe. i stuck a long piece of 8mm round in drilled a hole. stuck the wire through and let it rip... wound 40 meters of it in about 10 minutes haha was excellent!

Just so you know the, Falcons won't be having a tent thing at Manakau, we're not getting paid to take one. the best spot to catch up would be at Nigel and Kathryn's shoot the knight stand, most of the falcons will be there after the combat
