I added two 2" x 24" pine studs and screwed them to a .5" x 24" plywood sheet. I added two 1/4" pine plywood sheets 24" x 48" I pushed the first one then added a lot of wood glue with a glove by hand covering it as thick as possible before adding a second 1/4" and about 100 lbs of weights. 2 days later I add a canvas cloth to the front, back and sides with more wood glue. I drilled 4 holes to add carriage bolts at a 30 degree right angle for the leather straps. This was a good experiment since I had the wood from a home project sitting there doing nothing. It did take about a half gallon of wood glue and canvas I didn't have. Price was about $50 because I used a high premium wood glue. Next time a good general wood glue.
Great video! For durability’s sake though I think real shields were not only covered in linen fabric but also had one layer between the wood layers. The grain of each layer should also not be parallel to the layer below. The should be perpendicular to prevent splitting.
I never heard of any historical reference mentioning linen beetween layers, I'm interested if you have any. + the alternance of layer would always have to be perpendicular, of course, just like plywood. But for medieval shields, there is other technics that could be indentified on several archeological findings. ;)
@ I need to apologise! I can’t actually find where I read that so, no, I can’t back it up. I am sure i have read it at several points when looking into shieldmaking but cant for the life of me remember where
If the price of wood goes down around here, then I'll definitely try doing one of these. This would be a killer prop that could actually be used for playing around with
I wish you just that ;) Everything aligned in order to let you build props you can have fun with ;p And once you've build a shape, you can use it for endlesssss number or shields =D !!!
if you do it historical accurate with rawhide the curve happens automatically... you just have to clamp it to intensify it.. (the rawhide schrinks and makes the planks curve)
You don't need the former, the cargo straps on their own will pull the 3-ply sheets into an arc. Though a couple of G-Clamps added once the desired arc is obtained, will stop de-lamination.
looks like the one you made at the end is delaminating a bit. If you welt the plywood first (soak it for a whole day or something) i think it will bend and set easier
Pour un français, faire une vidéo en anglais comme ça déjà je dis: bravo. Super vidéo en plus ! J'en ai vu une d'un type qui courbait le bouclier directement contre le tronc d'un arbre à l'aide de sangles, tu as essayé ?
Hello ! Merci tout d'abord ^_^ Le cintrage sur un arbre bon, il faut prévoir son coup coté météo XD Donc clairement je ne peux être trop tributaire de ce genre de choses, d'où mon approche du cintrage ;)

Seems indeed like a decent way to have fun using left over of past projects =D
And making your own shield as you noticed, could be quite affordable !

how the wicker shield is made?

🤔
@@Estudiante-musico-con-hobbies Very interesting shield !
Celts seems to have used this technics, as well as sarasins !
It's free in all countries actually. The trick is to grab it and walk towards to door and then run 👍
Excellent vídeo thanks a lot
Thanks ! =D
Glad you enjoyed it, you are most welcome!
Great tutorial!
Thanks a lot !
Glad you enjoyed ;)
Very cool
Thanks ! =D

It will curve it toward the side on wich it will be applied then.
Nice
=D Thanks !
Where you get the plywood
Stores for gardening, home development, and things like that.
As I'm in France I don't think that naming them would be very relevant to you ^^"
You don't need the former, the cargo straps on their own will pull the 3-ply sheets into an arc. Though a couple of G-Clamps added once the desired arc is obtained, will stop de-lamination.

Yeah I have also to stock it in a place that would be less dry, and colder !
That would help you are right ;)

Ok!
