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.
+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
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
+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
I am blown away by what you all have created! Such ingenuity using other tools for different purposes, like the ball pien hammer as a kind of anvil! Genius! Thank you so much for sharing!
Looks great! I normally don't like Viking shields because the painting is usually just a bisection or quadsection of 2 colors. The dragon makes this awesome!
Had me right up to the surgered leather, screws and bowl for the boss, honestly looks like you have the skills to have made the boss your selves. Still a good video, just some constructive feed back
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
+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~
I like the Fenrir design you put on there. I'm building my own skjöldr and I'm about halfway done now. I will thank you because I'm using a style and design very much like yours. Thank you again for the ideas and the design. For the decoration of the skjöldr I'm actually painting the curved block with the colors of my family crest.
Luther H GrindstoneMtn Thank you bro, it's not hard to do it at all :) if you decide to make one, you can ask for help anytime through comments or via Instagram Have a nice day ~M~
Shield looks awesome! But how did you trace Fenrir onto the shield with all the intricate curves and such? Do you have a printable pdf or something that you used?
Thank you 😊 I drew it directly to the shield, I used a photo on phone I think. I don't have printable pdf but you can find that design on google: Fenrir design 🤘
I wish, I really wish I saw someone making shield without the modern tech and tools, or at least saying or explaining how vikings did it back then and how to put it together. It's still a nice video though. Cheers!
The Redsmith Thank you for nice words :D yeahh when you make it send me the pictures to Instagram if you want :) Epic Workshop is name on Instagram have a nice day
Awesome video, although ideally the paint would hide the wood grain. You didn't want your opponent to know which way the wood grain runs since this makes it easier to crack the shield (even when it's double boarded). But what the heck, it just looks so epic with the grain showing :P
Did I see the steps correctly? 2 layers of the 8mm boards, laid cross ways, then cloth glued to boards and then background paint on the cloth? Why the cloth? To smooth the surface? And thanks for sharing, it looks amazing!
Yo I just discovered your channel and imediately subbed! This is so awesome! (But maybe you should add music and remove the natural sounds. It makes it more entertaining, like Laura Kampf)
+Dhruv Chandra I like sounds of tools especially hand tools because they are like music for me 😊 Check out other videos I even recorded myself some music on some videos 😊😄 I won't copy Laura Kampf video style she is unique 😊
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.
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.

I am blown away by what you all have created! Such ingenuity using other tools for different purposes, like the ball pien hammer as a kind of anvil! Genius! Thank you so much for sharing!
+Del Short Thank you bro 😄
They told me that if ever I needed a shield, I should look to you. You did not disappoint. There will always be a place for you in my Clan
Hahah Thank you Bro 🤘🍺 For Valhalla!!!
and our Honoured dead
The Zigzag stiching on the fake leather is so authentic. The actual decoration is the only authentic part about it.
Hahaha 😂😉
Excellent! Looks awesome and you clearly had fun making it, which is what it is all about. Thanks for sharing!
Mikael DeAngelo Thank you Mikael, yeah it was a lot of fun :) now it's hanging in the shop and looks amazing :)
Awesome project, it came out great! Loved the fact that you converted the screws into nails!
Scrap wood City Thank you Dimitris, yeah it was my father idea, they came out looking awesome and handmade pinned.
This is great. I really love it!
Thank you for kind words bro, you should definitely make one :)
Cheers
Moris
Complete with blood splatter! Too cool. A craftsman and an artist; not the same things. Great work!

Thank you Bro 🤘 I am also not fond of too simple things haha I always over-complicate things 😊
Probably the best vikings shield I have seen on UA-cam!

Nice work with the chisel!
Thanks Bro 🤘🍺
That's an impressive craftsmanship.
Thank you Bro 🤘❤️

Be cool to make one that has kevlar on the back or in the middle somehow. Imagine a shield-wall of bullet proof Viking shields ?!?!

I wish, I really wish I saw someone making shield without the modern tech and tools, or at least saying or explaining how vikings did it back then and how to put it together. It's still a nice video though. Cheers!
It would have been completed with saws,hatchets,and chisels all of which vikings had in there day.
Beautiful. so beautiful
Thank you Bro 💚🍺
Great Job !
Thanks man 🤘
Really beautiful. I've been thinking of doing a project like this and this video is very motivating

+mitsuruji Thanks bro :)
Beautiful shield. Working on one myself. You did a great job ! Thanks for sharing.

Using a metal bowl as the guard I applauded you for. That was genius
Hahah it did the trick kinda haha 😊 but I want to make a shield with tapered edges, real leather and real boss
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!
+Valtsu100 Thank you bro 😄 🍺 🤘
Awesome shield! Would look great in my wood shop. This may be a future project for me!
+Build Stuff with AJ Hahah Thanks It definitely would look awesome 😄
ahh a shield like like that makes me want to put a dragon head on the front of my bass boat and go fishing and raiding down the tennesse river!
+Ranger Minsc Hahahahah That's awesome!! I am coming with!!!
Skal!
i dont know how far we will get but it will be a party either way!
+Ranger Minsc Hahahahah \m/ I first need to get to tennesse river...from Croatia.. see ya in one year :'D
I've though about putting a dragon head on my 55 Sears aluminum boat. It would be fitting, since she's named Lagertha's Revenge.
i’ll tame the dragon.
Great work
Mihai Buris Thanks :)
This is no shield, this is art 👌 also haha a imam istih zdjela doma 😂
+Croatian Idiot Thanks bro 😉 hahah
Many thanks! Love your work
No prob Bro, Glad to help 💚

+kubel83 Thank you Bro :)
Did I see the steps correctly? 2 layers of the 8mm boards, laid cross ways, then cloth glued to boards and then background paint on the cloth?
Why the cloth? To smooth the surface?
And thanks for sharing, it looks amazing!
Yep, all correct, it is easier to draw on cloth and it also gives a bit of strength to the shield 😉 Thank you Bro
Same accolades here! Subscribed.
+Steven Abercrombie Thanks Steven 😊 Welcome aboard 😎🍻🍺

Cool for school project

This is awesome and probably the 20th time I've watched this video now I figured I need to comment and say great job! What is the cloth you use on it?
Thank you so much Bro 🤘 I used my old bedsheets so normal linen 🍺
It would be cool if you mounted this on a jeep wrangler where the back spare tire would be or maybe covering the tire
On spare tire it would look epic !!! Send me a jeep and I will make a video 😂😂😂

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.
+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
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.
+josh greg I know but try to make one yourself and then you will see that it is hard to make it realistic 🤔
Great video, and a great channel, Dude. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks!
Thank you Bro, I will give my best :)
Cheers
