The whole belt took me about 2 hours.

You'd be better off to go here. Giving directions is NOT my forte.

Again, very nice, and I really like the sporran too!
The metal is .062 inch Inconel. They're 1/4" ID rings.

I've been mailling since February of this year. Eventually, I'll finish the hauberk project I've had going for the last 4 months.

For the leather part of my project, I just used a thrift store leather belt (I have to admit... it was a ladies belt). I cut each end to the desired length, then riveted the fold overs around some d-rings. Each chain is attached to its d-ring using a 3/8" ID 14ga galvanized steel ring.

Thanks for the sporran comment as well.
