Just a thought but the armour on the wall seems to be hanging from the points where the holes are.

As far as tools, I have a 60lb anvil and a 2" ball with no stake or welder, a 1.5" pipe, about a 5"d log and a bowled out stump. I also have a few different sized ball pien and a 7 or so inch raising hammer. The back plates and breastplate are 18ga mild steel, the front plackart is 16ga mild steel. ...

Thank you wcallen for that info.

Before I ruin my armour, here are some pictures of the back plates for problem A.

I'm having a terrible time fitting the plackart and breastplate to mate correctly with the back plates, can anyone enlighten me?

Anyone have information on padding worn under armour in ancient times? Specifically Imperial Rome and Hellenistic Greece.
