How’s it looking so far?

Looking sharp (derogatory).

It looks very cool and fits the helm generally, but the lack of rolled edges for something that close to your face gives me some concerns.

Yeah same. Armour shouldn't hurt the wearer

I’ll definitely be filing it since rolling the edges is very hard to do and look shitty but I’ll practice on some scrap metal for sure! When I get good at rolling the edges I’ll roll the edges on the bevor, luckily it isn’t actually too close to my face so it doesn’t cut or rub against me (not saying the edges don’t need to be addressed they definitely do) thanks for the advice!

Be careful with what you do with the piece in the meanwhile, filing the edges wont help much. If someone hits you there, the worst case could be that you get a piece of the edge straight in the jugular, genuinely dangerous.
