Sorry, Chris, but at this point I think we're all in awe of your obvious natural talent, and fully expect to be getting advice from YOU as you gain experience! So we're cheering you on, but dunno how we might help.
A big part of my difficulties with my greaves was that I did not have any kind of stake or form which could reach inside the things for shaping and plannishing. So if you have any kind of ball or mushroom stake with a long or even angled stalk, things should be much easier.
As for skinny greaves, I'm guessing you mean that one near the right end of the bottom row? It's probably just squashed flat--would have been more manly originally, like the rest.
Go, go, go!! Rah, Chris! Hammer that metal! And, uh, let us know how it works out, eh?
