Cadaet 3040 reporting in. I just received my split rivets and washers in the mail. I was able to borrow a rivet gun from my dad. Next, ill be looking into purchasing nylon fabric. Would also like to get a deburring tool along the way.

Just picked scissors to help trim some of the armor parts. Lexon Curved Scissors https://imgur.com/gallery/OQDjyuV

Thank you Tim and Sly11! You both encourage me. It goes a long way to feel welcomed like this. I really appreciate it! Ordered the rivets and washers with guidance from FISD threads. Was a big help. Next step will be the rivet gun itself. Slowly building up my tool chest for the armor.

Ok Dave. Sounds good and thanks.

Thanks Glen. Very big help, great post!

What is the best kind od pop rivet tool to use for armor building? Im confused about where to use rivets versus glue...

LOL! That's the best!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help!

Cadet 3040 here, What parts of the armor should you use rivets and what parts do you use the snaps? What are the parts that you should be glued only? Just trying to get an overall idea of what goes where. Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out to me Gerald! I appreciate being encouraged.

I appreciate you and the FISD being patient and not giving up on helping me!👍

Glen, I think i just figured out the jpeg problem i was having. I needed to first drop the URL into my thread, then re-open the image in imgur. Then re-post it back to my thread as a jpeg.
