Greave shaping

The calf part of the greave is darkened from annealing, and some hot work I did on it. It's a bit deeper and the curves are more complex, but it's coming along OK. The shin part of the greave is in surprisingly good shape considering I only spend maybe 15 minutes on it. It still needs to flare out a lot more at the ankle and have a crease laid down the front.


Two big things I'm seeing:
1. Shaping into a cone and then flaring the ankle is working well.
2. You can make a lot of progress shrinking the ankle in just putting it over the U shape in a swedge block and pounding it in with a straight pein.
