A couple comments:
- Way too many commits. If you're up for it @AmityU54, you can learn how to rebase commits (specifically, how to squash them); or, @akatch can configure squash commits for pull requests if he hasn't already.
- I'm generally not a fan of including images in the repository. At least, not as many / as large of images as you've included in the tutorial and static images folders. Every time a file (such as an image) is edited, git tracks an additional copy of that file, and even after compression, small changes in binary files like images might not lead to small changes in compressed size! Combine this with the rather large size of images (most of them are around 300kB+) and this repository gets very large very quickly.
- Not all the tutorial images uploaded are used in the tutorial; is it finished? I don't think it's worth merging a pull request until the feature we're considering is completed (or at least, is a complete initial draft).

| # Equipping your shop | ||
| ## Basics | ||
| There are an overwhelming amount of tools at an armourer's disposal. A fully equipped armourer's shop has more tools than most other metalworking pursuits use. This is a significant factor in armouring being such a difficult craft to master. However, it isn't so overwhelming as it seems- most tools seen aren't really necessary, and many are just for quality of life or can be substituted/made.\ |

It does not seem super helpful (or even accurate) to try to compare the # of tools an armorer has to other kinds of metal smiths, imo.
