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?

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

@@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 ;)

Hi, das mit dem normalen Leim hab ich schon probiert, bekommt ne unnantürlich dunkle Farbe ;( . Ansonsten Danke :)))

Thanks! Thats difficult to Tell. I think i used Like 16 eggs for the 2 shields in total, but i don't remember how many for which color in Detail 😅

Thanks! Yeah, If I would have had resin on hand, I would have gone with it. I'll add the bondo wood filler to my wish list and will try it when the one I have is empty :)))

I'd say it's above average for a dried oak stump caus it was quite straight and had nearly no wood knots. The problem is that dried oak stumps are just quite bad for crafting a shield 😅😅😅

not in the movies.

@@TheShieldery oh, then let's fall back on your distorted view...

@@oddoutdoors doesn't the thumbnail directly indicate that I'll copy the movies design? Richard Armitages Idea of Throin keeping the branch and transforming it into a punching shield is still a bit fantasy, but I'd still give it a solid "reasonable" to use the thing that you where named after: an Oakenshield

@@TheShieldery meh, lots of videos use movie clips but tell the book story. Also I'm pretty sure that he's depicted in the movies as using an oak log as a shield. Also that it is a flashback to how he got his name.

@@oddoutdoors We see him with this shield in the movie(s). Just google thorin oakenshields oakenhsield. Everything else is not relevant for this video. :) .

Thanks for your feedback! My own take wouldn't look like the one from the movies at all. It would be a punching shield about which I already made a video, if you are interested in that. Or If I go a step further and choose a more logical, real fighting style, it would be either a buckler, or a Kite shield (video on my channel), depending on the resources for transportation. Either way it would be MY shield and not THORINS shield.....

You could also try to use sprouce or pine wood for the shield, especially if it's your first try. Otherwise maybe take a look at ebay. Private individuals often sell less conmen kinds of wood in small quantities. Otherwise you could also ask your next joiner or carpenter. They usually know whom to call ;). For the rawhide, try Leather manufacturers, mayby they can give you an untanned hide. There are also tutorials on youtube on how to produce it by yourself from a fresh animals skin, but that's a hole different topic...... Maybe also ask some local huntsmen, caus some of them further process the fur by themself. In any case, Good luck and have fun crafting!

@@TheShieldery thank you! and I will give it a try :D

I'd advice you to check out dimicators tests ;) . Basically swords or battle axes are not meant for splitting and would just get stuck.

unfortunatly wo don't have many sources :( . You can find all I know in the sources in the videos description ;)

möglich schon, aber dann hast halt nen fetten überlapp drin. Wenn ich viel Zeit und Mühe in ein großes projekt stecke und dann an den Materialen spaare, bereue ich das meist. Ka was du genau planst aber das würde ich mal im Hinterkopf behalten :)

@@TheShieldery danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ich hab die Möglichkeit an rohhaut aus Reh heran zu kommen, aber die ist halt nicht so groß und hat gerne mal ein Loch drin.

@@hendrikrotzheim479 ich würde provellus empfehlen, wenn du die nach nem stück fragst für vikingerschild mit durchmesser XY haben die vermutlich was ;)

indeed! but then you got some wrinkles which you have to massage out, which is still simpler then what I did in this video though XD. I did something similar in the video about the schongauer paveses :)

Thanks! Watching, reacting and commenting on older posts makes youtube to keep them alive and suggesting them, making them an evergreen. Please continue doing so good Sir! :)

Thanks for the suggestion; I am still experimenting with different titles and the "24h" is not unusual for bush craft video titles. In addition you can see the length of suggested videos in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail. But as I said, I'm still experimenting, so I'll give your suggestion a try from now for 1 or two days. Thanks!

Eh; didn't make a difference; after thinking about it in the back of my head I'll go back on my first Idea about a DIY channel doing Bush-craft ... :/

XD Just wanted to say that I tried it with the real materials and not intentionally wanted to half-ass it with easy carvable wood (linden wood 4 example) or making it as a LARP-copy XD.

- To large (120cm => you would have to bow up and down all the time => no difference comfort wise; in addition: the ceiling would be to low for most of it) - to heavy, so I'd have to make a custom easle with specific proportions and clamps/clamp positions - paint is to liquid with some of the used pigments, so it would drip down before drying.
