    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.

    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!

Knowing someone who did custom interiors (retired from it), I also recognize quite a few of the tools you utilized!

    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.

    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!

    • @volfgangtwins

      All in all, the end result is badass!

      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! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
