In this video we recreate an ancient Germanic round shield structural design based on historical evidence from combat archaeology, from the Vendel and Viking periods. We add to this using our own artistic flare, as artists and shieldwrights would have done to represent their Germanic clans. Red was a color used to indicate hostile intent. Even though we used modern raw materials and tools for wood shaping, the design structure and assembly techniques are the same as those used over 1000 years ago.
Our WOLF OF ODIN round shields are 33" wide and weigh 12 pounds. Shields have been discovered across Northern Europe with weights up to 17 pounds! Ours are built based on design plans from a multitude of discoveries found in burial mounds across Scandinavia and Iceland. We also took into account the old Norwegian war law codes and scriptures in many sagas describing the construction of these round shields. We built our shields with two layers of coniferous wood in a double ply construction to increase core strength. We use a tanned leather hide on the face of the shield, which greatly increases durability when handling weapon strikes. Traditional shields have been discovered using tanned as well as untanned hide. Shields were sealed with oil to repel water when in rain or at sea. We have built these with a thick rawhide edge, stitched with hand cut rawhide lace, as would have been done to help constrict the planks and protect the edge when hit in combat. The edge is finished off with 1/8" thick iron clamps that are fastened with traditional round head steel rivets. We built these using two different boss types. Icelandic domed or Vendel period spiked, both recreated based on discoveries from those times. Follow along if you wish to construct your own, or find our Wolf Of Odin Shields for sale (coming soon) on our web store www.volfgangtw....

Who would have thought shields could bring so much conversation, history, talent, interest in one “live” session. Fascinating, truly.
So glad that you chose to make a shield-building video, Drømil and Drømal. I saw several videos of others making shields and wondered how you would do it. From the moment I saw mine, I cannot help but be amazed on how exact and well-made these shields are, the amount of work you put into creating one is amazing, and you made 20. These are really the most well-made ones I ever saw! Also thank you for the super-funny premiere chat; I still believe that you are better shield builders than the Harp Twins. 🤣💙💜 So much fun hanging out with all of you!
People, if the Vølfgang Twins are making new ones and you plan on buying a shield... look no further, you won't find shields of better quality anywhere.
Грандиозный проект ! Потрясающие щиты ! Браво, ребята ! Привет из Сибири !
I need to meet these Brothers, I am from South Africa , but, my blood belongs in the Mountains listening to VIKING METAL.....Man, this music makes my soul rock
Awesome to hear that! Glad to have you with us! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥
Im new and just hearing you guys. Absolutely love your music, being from a Norwegian American background. Seeing you keep tradition's alive is to be respected. Good f'ing job! I'll raise the horn to you.
I wasnt supposed to watch this whole video but I got enthralled.......
Шикарная мастерская для талантливых дизайнеров.😃😻💪💪 Браво!
Молодцы! Творческие, мужественные и мастера. Вдвоём, конечно, делать быстрее.😁 Гордость родителей.😁👏👏👏👍
Молодцы парни! Шикарные кулачные щиты)
Greetings, excellent Sirs! Many thanks for your detailed up close and personal creation demonstration, including the soundtrack. :) It brings back some of my fondest childhood memories, as my father, a university industrial technology professor, taught me to use all of his power tools and woodshop machines by the time I reached the age of 3. He was also a master wood, leather, and metal craftsman; thus I recieved a balanced education. Now I have also learned, from the best of the best, the art of shield making. I dream of someday soon being able to acquire one of yours. My late father, a true Wolfe, would be very pleased. Gentlemen, you have once again touched my soul. SKÅL!
Now that’s talent!! Very rare these days. Greetings from Alaska.
Great video Drømal and Drømil. It's interesting to see see all the work you made for these shields. It's really a quality work you made.
“SHIELD WALL!!!” Has entered the chat.
Sounds awesome, Drømil and Drømal! Looking forward to see how the shields were made! 😊
Всё что вы творили невероятно !!!! Музыка бомбическая ! Мощь!сила ! Скажите зачем вам столько щитов ??? И где вы берете кожу для них ??? Вы свои изобретения продаете?? Я в восторге!!! Мне женщине не понять зачем вам это всё???! Но вы молодцы крутые ребята! С уважением Надежда из Перми!!! Мечтаю о встрече с вами!!! Когда только она будет? Будет ли ??!❤❤🐺🐺🙏🙏🧝🏻♀️🧑🧑🛡️⚔️
Да они продают их, и даже пишут имена заказчиков рунами. Кстати, там мелькнула некая София.
Good morning guys! Sorry I missed you, @harp Twins, and rest of the clan for this epic premiere! Seeing what you did to make these shields only further raises an already high level of appreciation! Knowing someone who did custom interiors (retired from it), I also recognize quite a few of the tools you utilized!
Thanks for the awesome share guys! You 😎 🤟😎🤟!
I really enjoyed watching the creating. Detailed, organized, and methodical. You both worked together nicely and made it look easy.
Fantastyczna sprawa, móc patrzeć, jak powstaje tarcza. Podziwiam wasze umiejętności. I wyposażenie warsztatu😉.
Bardzo dużo radości daje mi możliwość zobaczenia jak ktoś coś robi i dzieli się tym. To jest wspaniałe 🍀
Wszystkiego dobrego wam życzę, oraz radości z tworzenia.
I stumbled across your music a few weeks ago and it has me under its spell. Of course I tried to find out more about the creators of the music and came across your shop. Absolutely great and when I saw this video I was speechless. So much art and craftsmanship in this outstanding round shield. The round shield would go perfectly with my Viking axe. I really enjoyed watching this video and in the first 2 minutes I had the feeling that I really wanted to have this round shield. Thank you for your music and for letting us share in your creativity. Greetings from Germany
Thanks so much for sharing this awesome vid! Great to watch you guys crafting your awesome creations! My favourite part was how you made all the individual metal brackets. Fantastic craftsmanship!
Such craftsmanship I wish your craftsmanship was used to make shields on the Viking ship in front of US Bank stadium. I ain’t no sports fan but I would go to the Vikings game if they had Volfgang Twins playing the massive Skol drum in the stadium 🤘🖤🤘💙🤘❤️🔥🤘 Milwaukee Tools now I know it’s not just the musical artwork that drives my following Rock On🔥
Hail to the God's, Hail to the old ways, Hail to our ancestors. Great music. You two have the craft .
The construction process for these shields is off the chart. I've got big respect for the effort put into resawing that many 1bys (1x6, or 1x8?) and, essentially, making your very own plywood for these.
Then, the whole process is intensely badass!
Not gonna lie, as a woodworker myself, I'm feeling inspired to design and build my own Viking shield, using a design of my own!
Gonna have to watch so many more of your build videos!
Thank you! We ripped down 120 1x6s for this project, each shield uses 12 3/8in boards 👍🏻
@@volfgangtwins big respect. I'd lose my mind resawing 2 or 3 1x6s with my table saw, let alone 120.
All in all, the end result is badass!
Thank you for showing how your shields are made, simply amazing! I am waiting for the shields to be available again, will be the perfect gift.
Absolutely brilliant. This has prompted me to buy a shield very soon. The workmanship that goes into these are beyond professional. You were born to bring this to the people and to keep the Legend alive. Thank you both.
Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail! Congratulations. We are very impressed at the work and attention to detail. Having seen the work in progress, even more the whole process in video!
Love DAC**2

Das ist ein wunderschönes germanisches Rundschild. Its a wonderful round shield, and why i can understand a little bit of your language from you songs as a german😂?
🔥Happy Walpurgis naight 🔥
Schönes Schild
Please can you tell your names in Viking ruins, and there meanings. LOVE YOU GUGS ❤❤❤
🤘💯👍
Have you done any testing / comparisons to shields used in battles? How close is the weight of the ones you make to battle tested versions? Very good quality l would love to have a a couple painted up in Norwegian and Swedish flag colours. Love your music, keep up the good work from Perth, Western Australia.
Thank you, this design is built using designs from combat archeologists discoveries throughout Scandanavian and the old Norwegian law codes. Ours weigh about 2 pounds heavier due to improved steel and a double ply plank construction. We will be making more this autumn for the Kickstarter campaign of our upcoming album! Stay tuned! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I know traditionally that Vikings reverd us Witches. I was wondering if you would consider making a staff for one?
