Anyone have an idea as to how I can do the pauldron. my last attempt failed horribly. and I wasted a lot of metal for it. I don't have a way to heat any of this so if there is any alternative way I could go about doing this any help would be greatly appreciated. It just has to cover the shoulder. it doesn't have to be perfect.
im not an armour expert, nor a medieval expert, but if was making that, i would make a base out of leather and then rivet the metal to that leather. i feel like that would add comfort and extra protection, as well as making it easier to construct, since leather is a much easier material. Thats just me though, i really dont know much.

the bottom wheel is rounded, you put sheet metal into it.
You tigthen it down and push the metal back and forth.
It creates bends in it to where you can round a sheet of metal nicely. Different wheels for different sizes.
Its pretty great, its how you make custom fenders or motorcycle gas tanks or any other sort of thing like that
