mrdabeetle Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leela Valley Leather Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireforger Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drayygon Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdabeetle Report post 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.

sprintpost Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdabeetle Report post 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.

TheBroke Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

mrdabeetle Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
