After I made my Viking Bearded Axe few weeks ago, my wife asked me to build her a Viking shield.
And when I asked about the design, she simply answered that she wanted Lagertha's Shield from the TV show "Vikings". We both love this show...
So, that's what I've been making this week. I used 25mm/1 inch thick pine and the shield has a diameter of 74cm/30 inches.
For the boss, I used aluminium as I don't have a bog torch or a gaz forge to anneal a sheet of steel that large.
It was my first time dishing metal and it was pretty fun.
I know the shield is not historically accurate and 100% exactly the same as show in the TV show, but my wife likes it, I like it, so I hope you will too :)
