I shudder to think what my Google e-profile must look like, but the YouTube algorithm thought I would find this mildly interesting. I did.

Niiiiice.
(And here the most creative idea I ever had with mail is to make a leather baskethilt for a sword then cover that with mail.)
(Which I still have never done, but if any of you beat me to it it's something I'd love to see... :) )

I've never even thought of that before So is the video, but for a man with few skills like myself that sounds doable

This came up on my feed as well. You beat me to posting Anyhow, I think once this is over, they should sell it in sheets to geeks like us. Can you imagine Mail curtains?

Chain mail is perfect protection from zombie bites...

Cool idea, and yes they should offer the chain mail for sale when they are done.
A little off-topic, but I think another possible modern use of chain mail may be as protection for motorcycle riders. I'm not a rider, but I imagine that falling off your bike at high speed may involve some sliding on the pavement, and it seems like chainmail may work atleast as good as the thick leather that most bikers seem to wear.
I'm not a biker tho, so just my 2 cents.

I wonder where the heck they even get all thta chainmail and what a smaller portion would cost? That would be great if they mass produced chainmail for people to buy, as an industrial material

Oh! Another use for a big sheet.... A bedspread for the discerning Knight.
I do know there are a few industrial machines that produce mail. If you look closely, these are even welded or soldered.
But for a project like this? I'd assume they had funding to just build one.

Thanks Pellius for sharing, this is awesome and my favorite armor is Chainmail to begin with so seeing 30 million links of chainmail was way cool.
