To make one helmet with alot of heavy industrial equipment(presses, buffers
etc...) took about 3 days from start to finish. And that is hauling butt
and burning the oil.

They do use rivets. What type of mail are you speaking of? Chain mail is
made by winding wire to the correct diameter and cutting it into rings then
putting them back together (it is alot like knitting and a lot more time
consuming.) They do use flat scale but it is usually very heavy and slows
you down alot.

I have worse injuries playing football or rugby.
