Thank you. Yeah, I've seen it done, but I still don't like how they look. Honestly, I'm not really upset with how it currently looks, and I kind of like the ribs they added to it. But it's still not pretty by any means. I have an idea for a cover I want to try, but I'm not at the point of putting it into motion yet. I should really get some cardboard or poster board and play with proportions before I try to make it work in metal form. Plus, since I don't have an English wheel or any real quality metal bending tools, it'll be pretty difficult to do at home and have it look good. I'll eventually get it done, but it might be a while.
