Members TheBroke Posted June 1, 2013 Members Report Posted June 1, 2013 I'm very interested in this pack! Thank you for the work you're putting into it Quote

Members mrdabeetle Posted June 6, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 6, 2013 This is not a list that you need to sign up for. I will provide a download link(s) when the pattern pack is ready. I apologize for the delay, but I want the instructions in the patterns to be in terms that a beginner can understand. The patterns are finished, but the instructions are taking longer than expected to complete. I may post the patterns alone temporarily if I don't have them finished by the end of the week. Thanks for your support and patience. Quote
Leela Valley Leather Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 It's amazing how long it can take to write up processes and instructions for things you do and tasks you perform without thinking isnt it? Quote
Members Fireforger Posted June 7, 2013 Members Report Posted June 7, 2013 Thank you for the time you are putting into this endeavor. We are all waiting (semi)patiently for the results Quote
Members Drayygon Posted June 7, 2013 Members Report Posted June 7, 2013 As a beginner looking to try out all sorts of things I am incredibly eager for this when it is completed and released Quote
Members mrdabeetle Posted June 8, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 8, 2013 I'm just finishing up the full suit patterns. I'll have them up tomorrow possibly. It's amazing how long it can take to write up processes and instructions for things you do and tasks you perform without thinking isnt it? The hardest part is determining if a beginner will understand what to do. I'm still unsure, so I'll answer any questions that members may have about the patterns. There are some parts where forming is optional. These parts will work either way, but they will look better when formed. There is very minimal forming required in these patterns. Mostly, the parts just wrap around the body and buckle. My stepson's birthday is coming up and he's outgrown his old armor, so as I use these patterns to make his armor, I will post pictures here to help get a better idea of how they all come together and how you can modify them to make them unique.

Members sprintpost Posted June 8, 2013 Members Report Posted June 8, 2013 Well most certainly I am a beginner and trying to gather together different patterns and ideas, I can't wait to try out your patterns and the time and energy you are putting into this is very much appreciated by many people including myself. I will make sure to test out what you provide and send in pictures and let you how it was for me. Quote
Members mrdabeetle Posted June 10, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Here is what I have so far. Instructions (limited, but they should help) are included in the patterns in some cases. I will have more as time passes, so check back periodically. Some of the patterns for the armor are old plate armor patterns found online that I have modified (some to great extent) to work better in leather, so I would like to credit the author(s) of those. There will be updates to facilitate this. Use this link Links below are dead.

Members TheBroke Posted June 10, 2013 Members Report Posted June 10, 2013 Thank you for the guides. I've been trying to figure out how to make a few of these. I'll have to give them a shot and see how they turn out. I was able to access all files this morning via Google Chrome. Quote
Members johnggrg Posted June 15, 2013 Members Report Posted June 15, 2013 mrdabeetle thank you for taking the time to share these patterns it is very generous of you.

Members Lividya Posted June 17, 2013 Members Report Posted June 17, 2013 I am interested too. Anything with Medieval Fantasy is interesting to me. If you have a pattern for a back scabbard that would be awesome Thanks! Quote
Members tkirwan Posted June 20, 2013 Members Report Posted June 20, 2013 cool man, i would love this pattern pack, let me know when its available. Quote

See: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=46571&st=45#entry307607 He's already posted some. If you have issues downloading them, there's a pack on page 5. Quote
Members mrdabeetle Posted June 21, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 21, 2013 I've got a show to do, but I will have a few bags and pouches patterns soon. I didn't include a back scabbard in the pack yet, but I will get on it soon. Also, please let me know if anyone is having any problems with the patterns. I didn't do as much reviewing as I would have liked, so there may be errors. The goggle pattern is one that I sell at festivals, so it may only need adjustment if you use a different weight leather than what is specified. Again, if any others are not able to get the download links to work, feel free to email me at one.onedesigns@gmail.com. Quote
Members Kindaki Posted June 26, 2013 Members Report Posted June 26, 2013 these are awesome and will help a lot when making armor for my guys you should also post these in the reenactment section so no one misses out. i love the steampunk goggles! that will be my first project i think thanks for all your work, looking forward to more Quote
