  • Tolles Ergebnis. Freut mich, dass Du die Randstreifen nicht aus dem fiesen Spaltmaterial gemacht hast.
  • As someone who also used a box cutter knife for stuff like carving in the past, please get an actual carving knife. Even when cutting away, you can grivously injure yourself. The blades can suddenly snapp and while using force during carving you can easily slip into the piece stuck in the wood and cut deep and long into your hands and arms.

    Easily one of the most heartfelt likes I have given to a video. While I would hate this craftmanship to go to waste, i would love to see one of these shields attacked by Tod Cuttler in one of his videos. I know shields are no match for his arrows and daggers, but it would be interresting to see how much a historical shield will resist before getting split, or punctured.
  • Tolles Projekt! :) Finds super, was du alles in deiner Werkstatt umsetzen kannst!

    Maybe a small tip with the pipe clamps, if you use them above and under the workpiece the forces are more evened out and the warping while glue is less. For a big part like you did in one glue it's up probably still not enough. So you could also try to first glue smaller pieces to bigger ones and then a final glue up.

    I built a shield out of thin oak boards and glued them together. The back remained visible. I glued rawhide to the front with bone glue. After 2 years, however, the shield began to bulge forwards because the rawhide contracts over time. Even the crossbar on the back couldn't prevent this.
  • Another awesome video! I'm looking forward to when you make a traditional heater shield with authentic materials!
  • A small tip i learned from a boatbuilder is to use a regular small flat pein for peening rivets. It spreads the material better and gives you less risk of the nail bending and cracking the wood.
  • Sehr schönes Video und toll aufgearbeitet. Bisschen was von dem Stil schaue ich mir mal ab für zukünftige Handwerkervideos von mir. ;) Weiter so!
  • A fantastic build, and a fun video. One thing I would request, is to add the track titles of the music you use in your videos. They are quite relaxing, and would be nice to listen to
  • A hand stitched Auriou rasp would have made very quick work of carving out the handle. Very nice work!
  • Oh boy, it's been a while since I saw a video of yours, as a good fellow German I have something to gripe about. Because I wore headphones the Music at about 02:20 blasted my earchannels free. 😅 Todays Video set me back in Time, I used to do Reenacting, we potrait, you guessed it, vikings. Oh and the shields look dope

    Great results man! Looks great. Also curious if you considered to try making some wicker shields in the future, they are really interesting and might be a cool experience to make them. Love your videos✌️
