I am looking for information regarding the mechanical design of a mail weaving machine, I know it exists I just haven’t seen one. I heard it was a wire feeding machine that forms a ring in the weave and cuts and welds it there. Sounds really interesting and I was thinking of making it into a project. if anyone has some information on this machine I would appreciate it

Maybe stupid question, but what is it for?
Are you going to a midieval festival? ;)

I've seen gloves made of this stuff. Used in meat cutting/ packing plants for knife weilding trimmers/cutters.

Ah, I see.
I have some butcher's steel gloves, but they're made of woven steel thread.
