It's not so bad with scales, because fewer rings are used to assemble a piece. A little more than half the number of rings that I would use for a chainmail piece are used in a scale item. That one is still 70+ hours and not complete yet.
After that I want to rebuild my personal anodized scale shirt, using the things I've learnt since originally making it. I'll als be making myself a stainless steel chain shirt. Seriously considering buying a resistance welder so that I can weld the rings closed, making actual combat grade armour.
