It'll be a while before I'm proficient enough to do something that detailed. It takes a lot of expansions/reductions in the mail pattern and would require rather small links. The links would probably have to be 1/3 the size I'm working with.
You can see the sort of detailed work it requires by checking these guys out: http://www.summitglove.com/glove.php?gid=1140&aid=4 *EDIT* It is in the plans to try making gauntlets and a coif after I finish this project though, so I'll let you know

I've got a smaller mandrel rod that should make rings that are roughly 3/8" OD, that would likely work for what you want. It wouldn't stop you from jamming a shucking knife clean through your hand, because the links aren't sealed, but it would certainly save you from random slices. I might get a small quantity of stainless wire, later on, to see how that works.
