    Now extract the zinc from the acid and put it back on the chain

    i gotta admit the idea of a chailmail doormat would be kinda awesome for a workshop
  • @WaterjetChannel
    This looks like so many hours of work lol. Thanks for letting us torture test it😏

    I really appreciate that you haven't changed how you operate in these videos. Stripping zinc off a chain? No fancy vent hoods or anything just a bucket outside. Really makes me feel like I could do these projects and makes what you teach connect easier to me.

    Cleaning out all Walmarts in the state of chain? Already a great start

    Never knew how much I actually needed a Chain-Chainmail blanket , Reduces my anxiety of from constantly thinking people with sword cannons are gonna get me in my sleep and doubles as a therapeutic weighted blanket. Can't thank you enough Cody, your doing Gods work.

    "Of COURSE... that zinc coating is gonna HAVE to come off". Classic Cody.

    When Iron is heated it's grains takes on a variety of crystal structures at different temperatures, if allowed to cool slowly (annealing) the metal reverts back into it's plastic pliable form, when heated and quenched suddenly it locks the iron into what's called face-centered cubic lattice locking all the atoms in place making the metal harder.

    This gave me an idea. Copper mail curtains, with a ground line to the curtain rod. Faraday drapes. Faradrapes.

    Codys Lab is the best youtube channel, especially among the makers. I love how he just does whatever he wants, its always informative and fun to watch, and there's never any filler or clickbait. And he's just an awesome person. Thank you Cody for all the great content over the years, I will always look forward to your videos.

    Hey Cody, when you're quenching the material, it's better to move it up and down in the water, because if you just place it in the water bath the immediate liquid around the hot metal will create a bubble of vapor around it which will prevent the water from being as effective as it should quenching the material. This is what many smiths are taught, so if you watch videos of them forging things, this is why they sort of bob the material in the quench bath.

    Million years from now scientist could locate your house by detecting all those chemical trace in one location .

    For the love of god, people. If anyone tests chainmail, put padding under it. You never wear chainmail without padding. It is both for comfort, and is also an integral part of the defense.

    id like to point out the marvel of insulation here, you have glowing red steel, and right next to it there is unmelted snow. its couple of cm

    When I was learning welding they would always say that a correct weld is stronger than the rest of the metal!

    I have zero doubt that Cody could survive in any post apocalypse setting

    Chainmail binding is so therapeutic. Like sit in a sofa with a bucket on your left, bucket on your right and just adding bit by bit. It's fun. Better than TV, that's for sure.
