I saw the 501st making armor here and was wondering if there are people there to help a first timer make armor?

We have several classes, most of them free, to help you get started. Ex Laser cutter, Mold Making, sewing, leather work, and 3d printing.

Yes. Get on the forums and guaranteed there is someone in the communicty that would be willing to help.

How do I join?

Makerspace members enjoy a very communal atmosphere and you will likely find someone to help you with your needs.

Yea
