	What you're asking is simple but difficult.  Ic oudl show
	you but am not sure I could describe it verbally.  There are
	several "weaves" you can employ, some of which are truly
	artistic.  The best source I know of is a volume called
	"The Best of the Hammer".  I believe in vol. 5 there is a
	very good article on chainmail.  I would get in touch with
	Norm Larson, he probably has it or knows where you can get
	it.  You are a little short on time if you don't have the 	links already 
made.  It is not terribly difficult work, but
	it is tedious.

	Sorry I don't have better for you.

	Best wishes.
