Giannis,

The curve is there although it is hard to see in that shot. Follow the shadow and you can see it more clearly. There will be much more dramatic curve on the final greeves though. That one was cutout with both sides mirrored to each other instead of the more skewed outline shown on my final run.

The knee is being dished higher on the final. I just didn't see a point in correcting it on the throw away. I am using that one to experiment on methods before I do anything to my set. Good eye though!

Here are the two final greeves cut out, marked out with guidelines for hammering, ready to be filed and shaped. I will start hammering tomorrow.
