About Us

Who am I? My name is RJ Korvemaker, also known around as Chubbs. Currently I'm 24 years old, and reside in the small city of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, though I grew up in Edmonton. Why Chubbs you ask? Well, years ago a friend actually gave me the nick name, originally as an Insult if I remember right, but never the less the name stuck, and I happen to like it. I took up chainmaille back in early 2007, soon after I was bit by the maille bug and knew this was something I wanted to do. Shortly after learned how to coil and saw my own rings with a jewelers’ saw, I jumped into the more precious metals. I love working with Silver and Niobium, but will work in a large variety of metals. Recently I’ve started to do a lot of weave with German silver, Copper, and Yellow Brass. Each color on their own is nice, but they also blend wonderfully together for 2 or 3 tone weaves. I’m always happy to do custom work, as this is where creativity really comes into play. With close to 1000* possible weaves and over a dozen different metals the possibilities are limitless. *number based solely on the weave database over at M.A.I.L
