Can't Craft High End Armor, No room for material list in inventory

[snow smelt]

I am trying to get a full set of the highest level armor and I ran into a problem where I have the skill AND materials to craft the armor but I cannot possibly hold all of the materials (can only hold the leather part.. max inventory space) and I tried to put the materials into the Armory storage, but it wont let me craft using the storage, only NPC's can use those mats for crafting. Unless the intent is to make NPC's do all high-end crafting, this needs to be fixed so I can use the materials in the storage when I craft (since I cannot hold all of the mats simultaneously to craft as I normally do). Please fix or explain that the game mechanic was intended.

1 inventory space short of making Highest rank boots too....

Perhaps, make Leather take 1 inventory spot???? (possible fix)?

Second best plate same problem....

Those are meant to be crafted by your villagers unless you download the expansion mod in nexus.

My villagers do craft them. I just find it strange that I cannot craft them simply due to not being able to hold all of the materials. There are only a few items in game that are this way while all other top tier items are easily made by myself. If you are a developer, or associated with this game, I will accept that this is the way that it is intended. If you are not a developer, or associated with this game, by saying they "are meant to be crafted by" villagers, I feel that you are overreaching your knowledge and expertise. There are a lot of things happening in the game that are not meant to be the way that they are... it's why it is in early access so that players can point out such things and make a better, more fun, and playable game.

I only suggested using a mod as a temporary band aid to this issue and not "overreaching with my knowledge and expertise" but you do you.
