Sir William, that looks really easy to make...it is time consuming and you need a power drill, power saw (or an old school saw and lots of patience), and a brush for the stain/sealant. I would make one but alas right now funds and crafting time are tied up on armor making.
But basically you are cutting out woodand doing simple drills...no complicated hinges or anything.
A piece of advise, stain after it is assembled...takes forever to dry and having it standing already is nice :)

That does for the most part look simple (especially after seeing the other one). Maybe I'll try making it some time in the future.

Two things to note on that one:
1) It's for primarily mail armor. A cuirass doesn't need a complex form. Mail is "shapeless" so it needs the form to drape over.
2) It'll have the "pole up butt" look if it has leg armor and/or sabatons, whereas Mac/mine are covered by the leg armor
Sir Nate:
I just got an Armor stand for christmas. I love it, Although when you first get one, you have to position the armor just right, Or also you'll keep scaring yourself thinking there's another person in the room. I did it a few times.(Having it parallel in the room, In between two windows(and having it right against the wall), Or just a corner.) Even if it stands a little out, It will keep spooking you.
Ill post pics of my armor stand soon.
Sir William:
CrusaderMonk once had the cops show up at his house because one of his neighbors saw his armor on a stand and thought someone was stealing something out of his garage. He keeps it in a garage, I KNOW. lol
