1. Abs sections cut from 3mm aluminium.

2. Shaping one of the overlapping aluminium plates at the back of the helmet around to the ears.

3. Earpiece showing folded tabs to be ground and sanded smooth. I found that if I tried to simply bend the tabs to 90 degrees, they would invariably fatigue and crack or even snap off. Fix? Clamp it between two pieces of thick steel and beat it over with a hammer and flat punch.

4. Got a bit of work done today.
