Thanks! You got good eyes! Yes I made the shield in Waldburg :)

Hi :) Most people in the army where normal, every day folk who had to fight. Yes, they where way stronger then modern day people but that's not very important here. In a fight that could easily lead to your death, you take every chance to save every bit of energy you can. 😅

yeah, that was my plan here, too. But 15mm are gone in a second with the edge grinder; I should have been more careful and taken the measurements more often....

Thanks! I didn't stretch it. As I said in the video I used cesin glue ( in order to connect the planks) and hide glue for everything else. How do you want me to describe it in a way I didn't already in this/other shield videos? 😅

@@TheShieldery ok, got it. Just want to understand are those glues purchasable or do I need to make them by myself?

@@shingotln You can purchase them :) . I linked kremer-pigmente in the videos description and they ship world wide; otherwise google is your friend XD. Have fun crafting! :)))))

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Yes, some shields where built differently and I never stated that mine is the most only, or even comen one. But we definitely got some that where built in the way I did, as you can see in the sources in the videos description :) I also never stated that only 2 pieces where found. I only stated that we got/ I found only a source for motives from 2 shield pieces (which you can also find in the videos description :) ). This is another funny thing on the internet; people write stuff in the comments after not really listening to the content they just consumed... I guess?

Could? Probably. But it would Take even longer and I am Not Sure how water resistent it would be. The Fiber Connection would Most likely vary more and youd have "pores" Set by the needle holes. Mayby the lanilin would correct that, but No idea....

The Animal most likely was killed for its meat. And caus the skin was somehow damaged or couldn't get used for leather or rawhide production for some other reason, it was the base for the hide glue. In nature it decomposes in days. PVA glue on the other hand......... I'd say hide glue is a better choice environmental wise.

Thanks! The electric scale is not a material, it's a tool ;) . I got some private difficulties a t the moment but surely will make more videos :)))))

I'd say it's mostly the woods own flexibility. It doesn't need additional moisture. ;)

Thanks :) ! After treating it with a steel brush, I used hard thinned down acrylic paint and then finished it off with an oil varnish, ;).

@@TheShieldery Brilliant thank you 👊

Could it be that you confuse Targe with TargeT? But you made me unsure XD. neither word get's used on the museums page.... I think that type is ALSO called Targe for sure; here's an exmaple: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/27019

War knapp davor ;) XD

Your welcome! I use the thinner fabric in between the boards ;) . If you want you can also watch the video in which I craft the huge heater shield. I learned a lot about video editing and could make some points better in that ;) .

@@TheShieldery so just to clarify: the fabric between the boards is the thinner fabric, and the fabric that goes on the shield faces is the thicker fabric?

@@TheOStandsForBerserker yes, in between the boards thin. But both kinds on the faces. heres the order from inside to outside: Thin fabric => edge rope => edge strap => thick fabric I hope that was clear enough? If it wasn't maybe give the other video a try or ask again :)

@@TheShieldery awesome. Thank you very much! Do you have a Facebook page? I’d love to show you my recreation after it’s complete

@@TheOStandsForBerserker yes, I have. those are linked in the channels description :) . Would be a pleasure to see the result :)

Thanks for the broader picture! I also wrote with the guys from the museum and they meant it's still a likely interpretation. When it comes to the topic of cloak under/above the guggle: I walked from germany to Jerusalem by foot wearing medieval clothing (writing it not as a show off, but for context). I tried it both ways, but wearing the guggle above the cloak is better caus: - When it's under the cloak it gets tangled up while walking and you have to place it differently every houre (5 km) or so - it takes longer to take the guggle on and off when the weather changes - the cloak stays dry (longer) when it's under the guggle - the heavy cloak "compresses" the lighter guggle underneath and therefore it doesn't insulate that good, caus it doesn't hold that much air any more - the (iron) Fibula gets protected from rain and will rust way less From a practical point of view it is way better to wear the guggle above the cloak. I didn't do any research in miniatures whatsoever and maybe it was still done the other way around caus of cultural reasons for example. I'd still keep the guggle on top caus it's just way more convenient that way. The only place where the triangle would make sense strengthening wise on the cloak would be on the back, on the neck. Wasn't the triangle found on the front side of the bocksten man?

@@TheShieldery For some reason my replies were deleted :/

@@EkErilaz ok.... very strange... I didn't even get a notification that you replied.

Immer gerne! Ist alles verlinkt, musst aber bei dem langen Artikel bisl scrollen 🍻

raw linseed oil. but on the long run I learnd to use linseed oil only on the sole and olive oil on the rest.

in the first hobbit movie?

Yes ;) . the old ones still don't show a sign from wearing, but I didn't dry them propperly and a bit of (white) mold cought on... I'll still use them primary. What I changed to the new ones is 1.: the leather. I used goat leather for the sides of the new ones and it feels way better; 2.: I added a triangle on the inside of the heel, caus on the left shoe which I made in the video I always slip back like 5 cm in the shoe and then don't walk on the sole, but on the side leather. The triangle should prevent that. I used a stitch with which you don't break through the lather completely, but only penetrate it halfway from the inside. If you want you can send me a friends request on FB or write me in another way in which I can send you pictures if you are interested further ;)

@@TheShieldery I cant find you on facebook

@@TheShieldery and i cant find your instagram either, i‘d love to add you to see the pics. I‘m from germany too - south germany

@@jasonanthonywilper HA I leb grod in Minga. FB und Insta : Andre Schätz

@@TheShieldery Thanks ! Much appreciated. Loved your fearless approach. Great outcome .

Hi! the cloak is actually hand sewn (video on my channel). The metal thingy is jst a standart ring shaped Brooche (6cm diameter) for 7€. I can't find the source for the floor bedding anymore, but it is allready disolving anyways. I'd recommend you to just use a second swiss army wollen blanket for that purpose. At least that's what I'll buy next :) . Have fun and consider watching my other 3 videos about wildcamping with medieval stuff for more inspirations :) .

I think you mean "Patreon". but without timestamp when I say it I can't tell for sure ;)

@@TheShieldery found it thanks. I'll become a member next week when I have available funds. Do you have any information about building weapons racks by chance

@@franciswhittaker7455 Thanks! yes, I already built like 3 or 4 different weapon racks :) . If you want I can send you pictures, measurements and basic instructions :)

@@TheShieldery yes please! That would be great!

@@franciswhittaker7455 Just write me over Patreon, then I got your e-mail adress ;)
