Took all of about 20 mins to make. 12x24 piece of diamond plate.
Lucky for me lowes put it in the wrong place and got it for $10.21.
Normally that sheet is about $31 still not to bad for a set of metal guards.
Thinking about putting a small bolt in the center of it that would stop it from bending back and chewing up the boot, just in case I miss seeing a rock or stump. Just being overly couscous maybe but just a thought in case you are making a set as well.
