Would any of you guys be open to commission work? If so do you have any idea on rates or general ideas of costs of things?

By request, some higher-resolution versions of my Maille Artisans' gallery submissions. They may still be blurry but at least they aren't 600x800.

Hoodoo hex sheet shirt
Still a WIP but here's my hoodoo hex shirt. Rings are 16g 3/16" stainless. Close to 26k rings at the moment. As far as I know no one has made a shirt from this weave but I could be wrong.

Mobius flail.
>Handle
Double Pencil Weave in TRL 16 SWG, 5/16" stainless steel. 14 SWG jeweler's brass wire wrap in grooves of weave. 1/4" x 13" steel rod in the center of the weave provides support.
>Chain
Jens Pind Linkage 5 in TRL 16 SWG, 5/16" stainless steel.
>Ball
Moorish Rose ball (as in >>4)in 14 SWG, 1/2" jeweler's brass. 1/4" x 1" machine screws for spikes at each of the 5-link units.
Everything is as tight as a drum. The handle doesn't wobble and the ball is held solid by the screws. Weighs a little over 3 pounds although I lack the equipment to be any more precise than that. Somewhere around 1400 rings in the handle+chain and 180 in the ball. Handle is 13" long and chain is 7".

I was wondering, about how long would it take to craft 2 sleeves+shoulder and 2 legs of mail, or pants or whatever would work best. Either chain or scale, both work; I plan on using it for a costume (hence not needing the full suit of it, pic related) and haven't crafted mail before so I was curious just how much time I would need to commit to it. I think it would be rad to learn to do, so I'm more than willing to spend the time learning.
