Thank you so much for this series! When we novice armourers find patterns, it is hard to know how to adapt them or interpret them, assuming you can find them at all. This is brilliant and I think unique anywhere on the internet that I have seen. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Glad it's useful. Be careful though, this will get you a good way along the fitting side, but sadly there's no rushing experience made through mistakes and a film of tears ;)
Thank you very much for making this video. I found it very useful and I have shared it to my fellow Larpers who are interested in armour fabrication. I look forward to future videos in this series.
Another great tutorial! It's like being an apprentice, in a fun way. As a suggestion: Those slender Gothic vs. Italian cuisses: Where do they start, how are they made, how to pattern those? Part of that you got already covered I belive :-)
It's always tough to do a pattern video, as the pattern will very much depend on how you work the metal. I am trying to see if I can come up with something. But maybe I can look at a series on how armour ought to fit ... although this can be very contentious. :)
@@GreenleafWorkshop How it ought to fit - using anatomical hallmarks maybe? You often include that in your explanations while you go over it, sometimes maybe even without noticing. Always great. About that pattern thing - true. If you were, however, to give a few ideas about YOUR process to go along with a pattern, that gives it a great deal of validity ;) Great to read you. Thank you Graham. Best, Björn
Is it possible to explain how you take the lames into account when you convert these measurements in templates? In relation to your arm harness videos i notice you don't measure spacing between couter and rerebrace etc when adding in the lames. Thank you.
As always, thank you for your great videos. This one, like all of the others, is definitely helpful. I look forward to seeing whatever you release in the future (if you hopefully choose to do so).
Once again I find myself saying "Oh if I had just been patient and washed Graham's video first I could've avoided that mistake." Now I know for next time!
Cheers Luke, I try to make the videos to help as there was so little when I started before youtube. Bok coming out at Christmas through Crowood Publishing with any luck.
Graham, this is a very useful video (series) for beginners. I look forward to your next video. Hopefully you'll cover all of the (basic?) parts of a harness in this series. Also, would it be possible to share a set of _basic_ patterns for a generic harness, even if only showing the patterns laid out on a table or the floor with a yard-/meter-stick next to them? I don't ask for something for your competitors to use, just something to give beginners an idea of shapes to start with for a first (experimental) harness. You mentioned a "coffee fund" (or similar), but don't provide a link. How do we contribute?
Great and simple explanation - thank you
Thank you so very much for this valuable information!
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Dude! Thank you!
You did great! Keep it up brother!

Cheers mate, that's really helpful thanks. I'm glad it was useful :)
This is fantastically helpful, thanks for walking through your findings! There really is nothing like this on the platform
Glad it helped mate :)
Handy to know. Thanks :)
my pleasure

Absolutely useful, mate, cheers! Looking forward to more 😊
Cheers mate, I plan on doing the abdomen next.
Yes I found this useful, I'll be looking forward to more if you decide to do more.
Hopefully the body next week.

Cheers, onto the body next week hopefully

i always struggle with figuring out how tight/loose to make stuff.
Buuild it about 3/4 inch bigger than the measurements for forearms and adjust accordingly.

I'm hoping to do the core measurements I take in this first pass and then maybe revisit a few with specific measurements for specific builds.
