A simple jig I made for speeding up wrapping rings for chainmail. This design was made for a 3/8 ID (and winding rod) and used 16 gauge wire. This was powered with a fairly standard cordless drill. There is a 3/32 hole drilled through one end of the rod.
I found using the jig to be a little counter intuitive at first. Set the jig into a vice with the wider end facing AWAY from the end and the small hole free. I found facing up worked best.
Starting a wrap can be tricky. Thread the w
