In this video I show how I make a greave front from flat sheet to roughed out and creased in eight minutes. It takes about a casual two hours from start to finish in real time, but after some editing and speeding up it's down to 8 minutes.
Sometime in the future I will do a tutorial on the subject but time is against me at the moment so this was the best I could manage.
In this instance they are made from 16g mild steel. If they were a high carbon steel you'd see a lot less work done at lower temperatures - but that would be about the only difference.
To make them you don't really need the stakes I use, just a bit of tube or the horn of an anvil.
Trust the process and give it a go, it will feel like a disaster for most of the early parts but then it will start to look and feel more as it should.
Best of luck and if I can help ask below.
