I've read this tutorial and it seems not easy at all. But is it really necessary to roll the edges ? If you see the first gauntlet I've posted above, the edges are not rolled as well.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for your replies.
This sasuke/shape link is very interesting, as it gives me ideas about tools that can be used.
A practical question : how thick does the metal has to be ?
