For those who may like to create something unique for themselves, but have no idea where to start, this thread will document my progress creating some new leather armor for my character. Hopefully some others can take inspiration from it to try to make something new.

Step Eight: Final Assembly
All your pieces and straps should now be ready to go. So you can punch your final holes and rivet, leather lace, or sew your pieces together, as appropriate for your design. As you can see here, I went with domed rivets for a little extra style.
I also assemble the major sections first, so I can align them on my dummy to verify where I want all my straps to sit before punching those holes.
Here are some images of the final product... at least until I start on greaves and tassets. :)
I Hope you've found this helpful and inspiring, and I look forward to seeing what the rest of you build!
