I can make you an email chain

agreed just send it

Then make mail, from chainmail

Perhaps a chain letter

Plenty of material if ya stop paying student loans.

"Can you take the stain of this shirt and put it on that one? "

@@nobodynoone2500 lol I wouldn’t say shiny good looking zinc that prevents rust is a stain but you do you

That should actually be easier than you think. All he'd have to do is, neutralize the acid (and that might not even be necessary) then use the resulting liquid as an electro-plating solution. No need to extract the Zinc first.

Extract the Zinc from my cHiCkEn SoUp 🙃

i have definitely seen those before. Prbly smaller links though.

@@Broockle yup. including as mud flaps.

I have seen ones that are hard rubber and chain mail. Cleans dirty boots with every step.

Cody is more about the process, WaterjetChannel is more about the spectacle.. perfect collab! Love it! 😄

I think youre almost at a problem thats common in DIY and our society at large, we tend to think 'whats the best way to do this?' and the restrict ourselves to doing just that without considering there is probably a much more accesible, less resource intensive and cheaper way of doing something.

The problem is the people who make these videos are usually highly educated in the field and know how to do it safely. Even if it looks like they're doing it in their back yard. Many things aren't explained because it's not entertaining or they do it subconsciously. This video is more on the side of doable though.

It’s people like you that are the problem. “I could do this!” 🙄

I should add, you can do pretty much anything at home that's where most of this stuff was invented but definitely do independent research. Make sure what you're doing is safety, learn how to dispose of chemicals properly, and make sure you have multiple sources outside of just KZfaq videos.

That Mail would rip the mountings out before it failed Structurally. Well Done, Cody.😮😊

The State of Chain is the best place in the USA and you cannot prove otherwise

Imagine being in the same state as Cody and wanting to get some 2/0 chain “Damn this Walmart is sold out, maybe I’ll try this other one” “Them too? Damn lemme try another” 10 Walmarts later “What the fuck, who is buying all this chain”

​@sketchy1018 why didn't he try harbor freight? 😮

@@sketchy1018 Its the new toilet paper

I'd be a bit surprised if Cody isn't on a watchlist by now.

What do you mean

anyone else irrationally hate zinc in general? like it's even the worst tasting thing ever

@@Beardqt no

@@GaiusCaligula234 ok sorry

@@Beardqt I like Zinc, it's like a weird uncle to the ferrous metals.

I have to admit that I sometimes don't understand half what he's talking about. But for about 10 years I'm enjoying these videos like no other. They leave you with a special feeling behind.

Very True!

couldn't agree more

Yes, but actually no. It's not getting locked into face-centered structure, you only need that because of its higher solubility for carbon in that structure. You can tell from hardened and tempered steel being magnetic, while the face-centered structure is non-magnetic (see stainless steel with high nickel content).

I need to learn this sacred science...

Haha. It's cool that i've just learned these fancy words recently on university.

​@@AdventuresOfKeithius Take some Materials Science course :)

1. Heat steel above certain temperature 2. Steel becomes austenitic (face centered), which has high carbon uptake 3. Quench 4. Iron rapidly reverts to body centered crystal structure which has lower carbon uptake 5. Carbon atoms don't have enough time to diffuse out of the crystals since diffusion is a rate and temperature dependent process 6. Carbon is forced to stay inside of the body centered crystals and creates compressive stresses, which increases hardness

Yes! I live in Detroit.. chain mail curtains will be great for drive bys!

Need to put a cloth backing on it though for sure, chainmail loves to pinch ya. Most weighted blankets I've had use steel shot. This one might end up a bit too heavy to be safe lol

​@@whatbroicanhave50character35 The only weighted blanket youll need for the rest of your life 😅

Cody’s properties could be declared a superfund site at this point

Even a couple of thousand years from now, Chickenhole Base is going to confuse the SHIT out of some archaeologists.

They will probably conclude it was evidence of aliens which explains most of man's 21st century advancement

"detecting trace amounts of everything but the kitchen sink"

Well, this is pretty much how anthropologists and archeologists identify where the smith's house of a settlement was. The soil samples and residue metals, coal, slag, etc.

I never knew that but that makes complete sense. Thanks for the advice

Would he pretty dangerous for him to hold onto it considering it was splattering boiling water all over.

I assume it would be hard since theres so much metal in this project

This is far more of an issue for an oil quench than a water quench. Yes, the steam jacket forms in both quenching media, but water vapor is still very heat conductive, and will therefore still cool the metal quickly. The Grossmann H-Value (a measure of quenching intensity) for water without agitation is 1.0, while the same for oil without agitation is 0.25. An oil quench with violent agitation (which is beyond what most smiths will ever do, and probably impossible to even achieve with a workpiece as large as the one Cody was working with here) is around 0.8 to 1.10, which means that the highest cooling rate possible with oil is roughly equivalent to the cooling rate of water with zero agitation. Extrapolating this principle, an oil quench with moderate agitation (which is what most smiths will use), with an H value of 0.4 or so, produces significantly slower cooling when compared to a non-agitated water quench. Moreover, using water AND moderate agitation produces an H-value of 1.3, while strong agitation has an H-value of 2.0, and violent agitation can get all the way up to 4.0 - all of these options cool the steel far faster than oil ever could, and thus the more you agitate in water, the more likely you are to risk shattering your workpiece.

Yeah blacksmithing is hard.

Well, time and many many metal rings

Same with woodworking and wood glue

Pretty sure they didn't mean spot-welds..

Again, that weld is high carbon because co2 in air. As long as tempered, strongest part.

Oh, I was ref to the original chain..

@@Dr.JustIsWrong Neither was I. 😊

Ive seen your channel commenting around for DECADES aserta lol. We are legends

For when he‘s making explosives… again…😂

@@DryW4t3r Or, you know, distilling stuff like alkali metals. Or precious metals, they both give off lots of fumes that can boom.

Can I ask what aramid is? I know how to google, but I prefer lessons in "plenum. "

Is this like stick welding just using a torch instead of a welder?

@@michaelroberts1064 Yep, that appeared to be standard oxyacetylene welding. The torch melts the base metal and the rod provides filler. The burning gas produces carbon dioxide that provides some shielding to reduce oxidation. It's a fun process, quiet and calm, but not quite as clean as TIG.

@@dave7038 thanks for the explanation. there's a lot i don't know about tools and how to make things, but i'd really like to learn more, and i appreciate it when others share their knowledge.

If you ever want to do something similar to torch welding but don't have access to a torch and gas bottles, you can do something similar with an AC arc welder if you make a holder for a couple of carbon rods called an arc torch. Generating an arc between the two rods will produce a sort of flame that can heat metal without consuming an electrode or creating a deposit like stick welding. I've done that myself, and while it is less controlled than using oxyacetylene, it is great for doing torch style welding or for heating up metal to red hot. I bent a piece of cast iron using my home made carbon arc torch.

yeah, but tits under chainmail is a V I B E

What you say makes sense. It is just that historically chain was used over normal clothing in some times and places. I don't know why.

Did you forget where you are?

Silks were used to fret arrow heads where weight considerations forced looser weaves. Still, almost always cotton pads for cooling comfort and shock absorption.

@@johnbennett1465 Probably for monetary reason. I guess some people could either afford a gambeson, or a chainmail, and had to choose. I'd go for the chain as well. Sure I might get pinched and bruised, but at least I won't get stabbed or slashed.

Dude was probably just relieved that he didn't need to be IN the army.

On the plus side...you would never really need to make like, thousands at once. Most likely blacksmiths/armoursmiths just made square patches like Cody did in between jobs, keeping themselves busy, and building up a supply to make a chain hauberk or shirt much quicker than if they started from scratch when someone ordered one.

That's what apprentices are for

@@dposcuroPlus chain mail was super expensive, even after plate armor was invented. It would probably be akin to buying a car nowadays. You would be pretty well off selling one as a blacksmith. Most footmen relied on cheaper gambesons, which was much easier to produce and required no smithing.

@@andresvalverde5182 expensive to make but also very recyclable and reusable, which makes it likely to be in a large supply which lowers the cost

Next video, Cody develops chain mail light enough to send to Mars.

He remarked one time he wouldn't add ads in a relpy to my comment. I wonder how much $ he lost not taking advantage of his early videos?

​@@Ydnar1155untill like November this year he had some massive drama with Google not paying him ad money. Could be related

@@Ydnar1155 if i remember correctly he did monetize his channel at some point long ago but youtube seemed to absolutely hate his guts back in those days, constantly demonetizing, age restricting and sometimes even deleting his videos. at some point, probably during the ad-pocalypse, he just stopped trying to monetize his video probably becose it wasnt worth his time to try to make everything ad friendly just to still get demonetized for no reason. he might not even have reactivated ads, the ad PG-Shaun saw might be placed there by youtube and not cody, and if thats the case he does not get ad revenue from it, youtube takes it all. now he makes his own money with sponsors and patreon and thats much better than having to deal with adsense's tomfoolery for an income

What ads?

I meant pre-roll and post-roll ads. When he was demonized by KZfaq that didn't happen

No. Cody must have the best science and the worst camera work.

​@@the_newt_nest😂😅😁

Head movements for camera might cause nausea for the viewers.

Not sure what you mean about twisting the chain, but he definitely could have reduced the weaving/welding time if he left 2/3 of the chains intact. (Not that the actual weaving was the time consuming part here.) Instead of opening 50% of the links, he could've only opened 33% of the links, reducing the amount of welding by a third.

@@nikitanugent7165 I think we're talking about the same thing. But yes, weaving is certainly not the rate limiting step here.

would this make the diagonals of the kind of mail he's doing?

@elongated_muskrat_is_my_name No. Instead, it would form the bottom and center of a single ribbon of mail. It's hard to explain in the context of a comment, as it involves some visuals. I might make a video on it sometime.

Maybe he can, but all I see here is brazing.

​@nobodynoone2500 how so?

Cody is the man from the math text books

I love that last clip "No way Cody!"

@@Tb0n3that’s me haha

Soo much time and effort I'd imagine

Potato patahto, vinegar is just dilute acetic acid. It'll just take a lot longer than hydrochloric.

It was better chain. 🤷‍♀️

Wal-Mart has better chain than hardware stores? Sounds like BS.

​ the audacity to say someone like cody is "bs'ing" 😂😂😂

@@Ac3Mustang Not saying that he is, just sounds like it. It's hard for me to believe that Wal-Mart is the best place to buy chain.
