recent project. GDFB greaves. i reshaped and trimmed the one so far. it makes a decent fit. not totally great but much better and wearable. my daughter is sleeping or else I would be working on the other one right now. The only issue with the fixed one is it is still a tad high on my leg. it just presses against the lower edge of the knee when strapped to the GDFB legs (which I had to cut off the inner part of the legs cause of the "cutting of the boys" when I walked

Wait, wait wait wait, I'm awake now. When I saw the picture on FB I completely blanked those are the hinges it came with. I thought you put the hinges on, since I recently did hinges on a set of my reworked greaves. I can clearly see one is shorter than the other now. Maybe the repeated sword blows to my head today shook the cobwebs out. :)

Nice job on the reworking. The left one looks much better, the rolls at the bottom line up nicely.

Also, gotta ask ... I see bullets on the bench, and I see a hole in the front of one of the greaves...... coincidence? :D

You know, til I read you'd fixed just the one, I was going to ask if perhaps my view was askew lol
