Okay. Venting....

You seriously could not pay me ANY amount of money to remake these dang things. I feel like I am going in circles. I am not giving up, but let me add my voice to all the others that say greaves are incredibly hard to get right. I seriously do not see how Manning Imperial gets 16 gauge metal to "snap" on to the calves. I start to get one part of the shape right and then lose it when working on another.

Oh well, I have spent all night working on the right leg and think it would be easiest to flatten it out and start over instead of trying to rework it. Okay, done ranting. Hopefully I will have something positive in a few days!
