I have no idea whether it will work or not. I just ordered enough plaster bandages to make fairly thick molds of my calves and will make the cement casts this weekend. I also ordered the thinner metal, but it won't get here for two weeks.
It may not work, but I recall a definition of insanity being, "Doing the same thing the same way repeatedly, expecting different results." ... Sooo, I am trying different methods and hoping these will work. I just hope I am not changing too much. I am going to form aluminum foil greaves first to make absolutely sure my stencil is the correct shape and that the finished greaves will have the allusive curveature. Then, at least I will know that it is my hammering that is lacking, and I can focus on that one variable.
