[@theswaggeringwombat3084]

Don't get me wrong that is the most beautiful shield I have seen yet on the Internet but I would have liked to see the boss made from a piece of sheet metal instead of a bowl but I am in awe of the craftsmanship of everything else

[@EpicWorkshop]

+Theswaggeringwombat I would also like to have a real boss on there but I don't have place to forge (yet) but I tried to make my own but it didn't work out :( so I used dog bowl which looks amazing for 2 dollars and not 40 dollars for decent handmade shield boss. Thank you for your comment :) ~M~

[@Trailerglotzer]

Epic! I'm spending some time watching multiple videos on how to make a viking shield. Yours looks incredible. Even though I'm trying to make it look as authentic as possible so I might not wanna use screws.

[@EpicWorkshop]

+Forsaken Thank you bro 😎 😊 Yeah I used screws because it is on wall (most of his time) so it is not visible, I even planned to take off the handle but then friends cannot hold it when they visit and want to take picture with it😂😂😂 Moris

[@Trailerglotzer]

Haha well if it's just for decoration I can see your point. Well mine would be used for actual fighting... With dull weapons of course XD I gotta say your video is the first one where I see two layers of planks being used. It kind of makes sense to me, because you can have the planks of the two layers crossing each other, which would prevent a weapon cutting deeper into the shield because it hits right between two planks. Also it's the first video of you that I watched and you got a new subscriber XD

[@EpicWorkshop]

+Forsaken 😉 yeah, they actually used laminated shields correctly because of that: grain running in both ways which makes the shield much more resistant and durable to breaking, splitting... I don't use it for practice fight 😂😂 but I tested it, my friend was hitting it with an splitting axe (i was holding it) and it works but I would not like to be hit in shield boss region hahahah ✊ Welcome aboard bro 😎 Moris

what did you use for paint and what are the other ingredients for making this and is it water resistant because of the glue. I'd like to try this but make an actual hand guard out of brass. (I'm a smith)

+Andres Suarez Thank you for kind comment bro :) Have a nice day :D Moris

[@deprimat666]

Did vikings actually use cloth or did you do it to make design easier to paint?

[@EpicWorkshop]

I personally think they did it, It gives a lot of strength to the structure and it protects against weather + paint layer. Animal glue was common and if they didn't use cloth they probably used animal hide on same purpose. When you look at the ships they built I doubt, that a shield, which was their primary tool of protection was just a crude thing made flimsy. It had to be strong, light and flexible enough to withstand the impact of enemy whacks and blows 🤘🍺 Btw, It is definitely easier to paint on fabric.. that's for sure haha 😂 Moris

[@squidking762]

Did the vikings have arm straps on the back to help with holding their shields? It seems like that would help in combat

[@EpicWorkshop]

Nope it is center grip only, they used the shield as a weapon too. It is actually very usable 😉

I did some research and from some of the few remaining roten shields and some older scripts they are saying that most viking sheilds actually had a taper in around the center it could be almost an inch thick and around the edge it would be less then a quarter inch thick.

[@EpicWorkshop]

+josh greg yeah correct, but making the taper is too hard so i didn't make it 🤔 but I also study every project before making it 😉😊 Moris

[@SuperJhon360]

Epic Workshop then you know they didnt use screws lol but even when I look it doesnt say if the taper is on the front or the back or if both sides taper inward.

[@EpicWorkshop]

+josh greg I know but try to make one yourself and then you will see that it is hard to make it realistic 🤔

[@davidletz9123]

Thanks for the video, complete noob here and I want to try to build a shield in a method similar way to yours. Questions: is acrylic paint a better choice than latex on that cloth layer? Will paint spread over the sheet fibers, making it difficult to have sharp crisp division lines between colors? Is there any advantage to white glue over yellow? Thanks again for the video.

[@EpicWorkshop]

Thank you Bro 🤘 I don't know about latex colors, acrylic worked very well and it is satisfying to work with on cloth, for the glue I am not sure.. here where I live we don't have yellow glue only white hah but I think there is no difference... Not sure

@@EpicWorkshop I tried yellow glue...left a few yellow spots on the sheet (LOL!), but covered easily with black coat of acrylic paint. About how long did you wait before you painted the emblem over the base coat? Thanks again!

I'm far from an expert, but putting the top layer of planks in the opposite direction of the bottom layer of planks seems like a really good idea. As I said, I'm far from an expert, but it just seems like it's more structurally sound that way, but I don't know.
