🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Customer: You get what you put into it.

Take your time, read the entire pattern, watch the build videos, make a plan on how yours will look, put it to action. As long as you follow your plan, it doesn't matter which piece of the armor you start with. Make it your own, put your own family crest in the Cuirass if you want.

I'm getting started early on my Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sale here on Patreon now that their new DISCOUNT options are live. Why So Early? Because if people get in at the end of the month they'll get mostly 2 months of releases, figured they'd want to know.

This sale will run from today until shortly after Cyber Monday and gives you 50% Off 1 month of my Hero or Legend Membership.

USE CODE - 09DB5

OR you can get 25% off an Annual Membership (Which is already 15% Discounted, so another 25% on top of that).

As a side note it has become quite advantageous to sign up for my Patreon at the end of a month. I operate on a month to month basis even though my billing has changed. So you will access all of Octobers releases as well as my initial November releases all the way until you're billed again a month later or cancel.

Thanks for the Support

Magnus

Hey everyone Patreon has finally added some new discount / membership options.

First I can now just gift people a free month of membership if they're Free Members. I've decided to do 5 free 1 month Hero tier memberships so head over to https://patreon.com/darkhorseworkshop if you're a free member or want to be one and reply to the post, 'll do a random draw Tomorrow / Tuesday.

Secondly they've also enabled gifted memberships. I think this is a pretty fun idea and since Patreon is also starting to figure out some live streaming options they may be setting up to convince creators to stream on Patreon... we'll see about that. But if you want to gift a friend a membership to Dark Horse Workshops Patreon you can do that here: https://www.patreon.com/darkhorseworkshop/gift

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Christopher Barnes: Fantasy Pouch 2

OK, this was my first product I really made with a laser. Thankfully Magnus helped me figure out my settings so I could finally get it cut out at the proper size. I liked how it turned out. The artwork while on the simpler side was nice and the cutouts add a layer to the customizing of this pattern. I am partial to the first Fantasy Pouch but we will see what the customers think.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from COCHRANE: Checked out to compare my own pattern to

I was worried my own pattern design for 2 child-sized sporrans wouldn't work, as I'd not made this sort of item before, so I checked the scale of my drawing against your adult-sized sporran, and I got to work.
I hope to try some of the kind of work you do in leather, but my own experience has been machine-sewn leather only, and not having my Juki straight-stitch upholstery machine anymore, I used a great little Elna Lotus portable machine I'd got a while ago at a garage sale, got it tuned up, and it sewed up the sporrans from recycled leather hand bags like a gem. My wee grand boys looked super in their kilts and sporrans. I appreciate that you published and put up for sale your pattern - it gave me something to compare to, what with my brother's and son's sporran's at their places many hours away. Thanks for the super inspiration to try out leatherwork in your line of craft. JKC

Putting some black edging on this black lamellar. It's always good to Edge it both so it doesn't wreck tunics and so it looks more badass.

Some fun entries on my latest contest on discord. Everyone gets a free pattern or art pack just for entering, winners get 2. There's my personal pick, and the popular server vote.

You can only win this contest if you haven't won before, but you can enter to get the free pattern / art pack still if you've won.

These are becoming a lot of fun to run on my server as we work our way towards 1000 people slowly (840 or so)
