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

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 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.

WinterBear Report post Posted June 10, 2013 hrm... just got a 404 on each pdf... What browser are you using? Sometimes just swapping a browser works--Adobe doesn't always "play nice" and what will open in Explorer doesn't always open in Firefox, and vice versa.

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

mrdabeetle Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Forgot to add this one. http://www.fileden.c...692/goggles.pdf I don't know why some of you aren't able to get to the files. Send me an email at one.onedesigns@gmail.com or send a pm with your email and I will get them to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBroke Report post Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) What specifically is the 404 error saying? Is it a "Not a valid URL" ? They take ~ 30 seconds for it to load on my PC, which is quite long for my very fast Internet. It's possible the host is timing out your connection to the file itself because it is taking too long. Instead of left clicking on the link, Right click the URL and select "Save Link As...". This should allow you to download the .pdf which is what you want anyway, I assume. Try that and see if it works. Edited June 10, 2013 by TheBroke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
