Thanks for the info Glen! Appreciate you!

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!

I just got my punch set for my snaps. Punch set https://imgur.com/gallery/GuYC9qm

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.

Bart, I'm in the process of trying something with my imgur jpeg image. At At walker https://imgur.com/gallery/TESdgLN

No, it only gives me the option to attach the link it gives to the photo. Then i post it on imgur. Next, i go to my thread in the FISD and paste the link to the thread directly. No options for jpeg or jpg.

Thank you all for helping me get this far with imgur. Hopefully the way I'm pasting the links, like this, will allow me to start my build thread. I really appreciate your patience and dedication to helping try to understand it all. I have re-read through the tutorial to see if i missed somthing, and it appears i am using imgur correctly. I attached test pic below to try and send this as jpeg, but i couldn't. My toys https://imgur.com/gallery/rkq0aPl

Hi team. This is Cadet JeffD. I just posted an image from imgur above. Just trying to make sure im doing this correctly. I just don't see any way to change my images to jpegs. As long as my images come through and you can click on the pasted links in my forum, i believe im good to go, with starting my build thread. My example pic is labeled "My toys". Thanks again everyone for helping me get this far!

Yep, that's how I've been putting the links in, by copy and paste. Just doesn't show an option to send as jpeg, probably because of my phone's limitations.

Im using my phone. I dont have a computer to use for my threads. Im wondering if that's why i cant find the jpeg option for it.
