I've spent much of the evening "knitting" ring-mail. I now have a new found respect for the process by which this stuff was made. Four-in-one looks to be pretty simple when you look at one set of five rings. Even linking in one dimension isn't that much of a challenge- just stay consistent with the pattern, and follow it for whatever length. Where it gets tricky is adding the second dimension.
Regardless, working out whether the joining ring goes over or under is a great mental exercise, especially when trying to figure out the pattern. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to have something to do with his/her hands- besides, if you get good at it, it commands reasonably good prices in certain places.

As Lauren said, Griffin used to do this. He ended up damaging his wrists and destroying a lot of hand tools. Do yourself a favour and use Craftsmen® pliers and wire cutters so that when they wear out you can replace them for free.
