I made this shield using pine wood which was from roof structure.
The planks are 8 mm thick, so whole shield is 16 mm thick. Shield diameter is 80,5 cm which is historically accurate although the measures varied from 75 - 90 cm.
I used metal thumbtacks to attach the eco leather around the rim.
The leather is sewed by my father :)
The cloth is actually my old bed sheets (linen)
The shield boss is a cheap dog bowl from stainless steel, I used hydrochloric acid to achieve aged look. The bowl was shaped by my neighbour Vittorio who is a metal worker.
And also thanks to my brother Andrea and his wife Barbara for helping with shield :)

What about Krato's' shield from God of War 4?
Maybe 😊
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
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 :)
Bro, im sticking wit u in the apocalypse
Come over as soon it starts 🤘🍻🍺
@@EpicWorkshop is he there yet
Still waiting..
@@EpicWorkshop maybe soon, depends on how coronavirus mutates
Here in Istria we have no new cases for 2 weeks already 🤘
From the few videos I've seen and pics and such..you viki's put alot of effort into this sheild !! Thanks
Great job! Subscribed.
Maverick Welcome aboard :)
Maverick ❤❤❤
The Zigzag stiching on the fake leather is so authentic. The actual decoration is the only authentic part about it.
Hahaha 😂😉
“Fenrir” I love it
+Danner Thanks bro :)
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!
+Del Short Thank you bro 😄

Thank you Bro 🤘🍻
Great job. I wish you had shared the template for the image.
Thank you Bro 💚 You can find it online 🤘 just google "Fenrir design" it should be first 😉
Totally badass
+Dirk Diggler Thanks bro :D
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!
Thank you Bro 🤘 I am also not fond of too simple things haha I always over-complicate things 😊
thanks for uplording awesome video.
Thank you for watching 🤘almost done with new one 🍻
I really like the work this guy does
Zachary Richardson And that guy is super grateful for your very nice words :) Thank you bro :D
Have a nice day
Moris
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 ?!?!
Hahaha highly needed in those times 😅 it would be interesting with center grip 😂
amazing!
+Shell Gozen Thanks!😄😊
Nicely done! :)
Jon Madsen Thank you Jon :)
I don't understand why this only has a few thousand views right now. This is awesome
Thank you for kind words Austin :) But I am amazed that it has 3,466 views :3

Thanks Bro 🤘
A shield worthy of a King
+King Ragnar Ohoo when king says that :D

Thanks Bro 🤘🍺
Another great master piece! Just wish you wouldn't make it look so easy! Love your videos! Thanks!
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~
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
That's an impressive craftsmanship.
Thank you Bro 🤘❤️
I'm always amazed at how sharp your chisels are
+Joey Morris Hahah Thanks bro 😉 😊 😂🍺
great, now i have to build like 6 of these to line my apartment to make it look like a mead hall. for reasons.
+freeman621 Best decision ever bro 😎
Have fun making them 😊🤘🤘🤘
I love the laughing when squirting the glue
😂😂
Yess
Cool for school project
I like the sound of that school 😍
Great videos all around sir.
Thank you James :)
This means a lot i came from vikings so making my own shield means a lot so im subscribing thank you
Thanks Bro 🤘🍺
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~
This is an awesome shield!! I had a lot fun making it and the bearded axe.
Ohhh awesome! Could you send me the photos of it 😊 Thank you 🍺🤘
My IG is epic_workshop
You need to make yourself a push stick! Watching you rip that lumber was nerve racking.
+Matt F I have 3 of them ;) ahh I am aware of what I am doing, but one day I will cut off my arm 🙋 :p
Wonderfull.
Thank you Bro 🤘
Prelijepo.
+CEFOR .net Hvala puno!
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.
Holy.... Awesome work man. Geez that shield would look awesome on my wall lol
+Lobo fräggt hahahahah It would on any wall 😊😁 I really like it 😄
Thank you for nice comment bro 😊 😉 😎
Moris 🤘
You sir just got a sub, wow great craftsmanship. Skål!
+snake31617 Thanks bro :D Skal!

Nice work with the chisel!
Thanks Bro 🤘🍺

Welcome aboard :D
Moris
Ok took me a while, but finally made my wood sheild, need to send you a pic and see what ya think
+David Good That's awesome David:) send it via Instagram :D
Moris
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 😂😂😂
Why would anyone dislike this video, it's awesome!!
Thanks a lot 🤘🍺
Haha, awesome. I loved how you used thumbtacks there. Been following your work for a while now and I reckon I'm going to keep coming back.
+OGWARF1 Thank you bro :) yeah those thumbstacks are pretty handy, I also used them on a helmet ;)
You are awesome :D Thanks for your support :)
Moris
Just gave you a pledge on Patreon ^^
+OGWARF1 I just saw it :) Thank you :D
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.
That's cool it says fenrir and has a sweet wolf on it.
+Jared Montgomery Thank you Jared 😊 yeah I also think that 🤘
Amazing job. Only thing that ruins it all is that bowl...
+PrimyFritzellz Thank you bro 😊😄
Yeah it is true 😥😝
Hahahahah i need to get real one 😊😄
Moris
Im glad you made it say somwthing instead of putting random runics on it
That village looks pretty plentiful
Hahah 🤘🍻
i love that you put fenrir in norse on there
+oliver hardy Of course 😊 😄 🍺 🤘
