Constructing a Curved Shield
This is a tutorial in constructing a curved shield. It is debatable but I for one believe that curved shields are superior to the traditional flat shield. The curvature of a shield can be an optical illusion in that it may look smaller than it really is. It will also help cover the problem areas of some flat shields don't. This might get you the common comments of "Damn big ass shield" or "WTF why can't I hit you." I hear them all the time with my curved heater so its shouldn't be taken as anything new.
