I made this shield using pine wood which was from roof structure.
The planks are 8 mm thick, so whole shield is 16 mm thick. Shield diameter is 80,5 cm which is historically accurate although the measures varied from 75 - 90 cm.
I used metal thumbtacks to attach the eco leather around the rim.
The leather is sewed by my father :)
The cloth is actually my old bed sheets (linen)
The shield boss is a cheap dog bowl from stainless steel, I used hydrochloric acid to achieve aged look. The bowl was shaped by my neighbour Vittorio who is a metal worker.
And also thanks to my brother Andrea and his wife Barbara for helping with shield :)

I have this one and I absolutely love it! (I don't take it off) Small and Light but it is definitely an Epic eye-catcher.
Stay Epic Bros!!

What about Krato's' shield from God of War 4?
Maybe 😊
Bro, im sticking wit u in the apocalypse
Come over as soon it starts 🤘🍻🍺
@@EpicWorkshop is he there yet
Still waiting..
@@EpicWorkshop maybe soon, depends on how coronavirus mutates
Here in Istria we have no new cases for 2 weeks already 🤘
Epic! I'm spending some time watching multiple videos on how to make a viking shield. Yours looks incredible. Even though I'm trying to make it look as authentic as possible so I might not wanna use screws.
+Forsaken Thank you bro 😎 😊 Yeah I used screws because it is on wall (most of his time) so it is not visible, I even planned to take off the handle but then friends cannot hold it when they visit and want to take picture with it😂😂😂
Moris
Haha well if it's just for decoration I can see your point. Well mine would be used for actual fighting... With dull weapons of course XD
I gotta say your video is the first one where I see two layers of planks being used. It kind of makes sense to me, because you can have the planks of the two layers crossing each other, which would prevent a weapon cutting deeper into the shield because it hits right between two planks.
Also it's the first video of you that I watched and you got a new subscriber XD
+Forsaken 😉 yeah, they actually used laminated shields correctly because of that: grain running in both ways which makes the shield much more resistant and durable to breaking, splitting...
I don't use it for practice fight 😂😂 but I tested it, my friend was hitting it with an splitting axe (i was holding it) and it works but I would not like to be hit in shield boss region hahahah ✊
Welcome aboard bro 😎
Moris
Excellent! Looks awesome and you clearly had fun making it, which is what it is all about. Thanks for sharing!
Mikael DeAngelo Thank you Mikael, yeah it was a lot of fun :) now it's hanging in the shop and looks amazing :)
Awesome project, it came out great! Loved the fact that you converted the screws into nails!
Scrap wood City Thank you Dimitris, yeah it was my father idea, they came out looking awesome and handmade pinned.
From the few videos I've seen and pics and such..you viki's put alot of effort into this sheild !! Thanks
The Zigzag stiching on the fake leather is so authentic. The actual decoration is the only authentic part about it.
Hahaha 😂😉
I am blown away by what you all have created! Such ingenuity using other tools for different purposes, like the ball pien hammer as a kind of anvil! Genius! Thank you so much for sharing!
+Del Short Thank you bro 😄
This is great. I really love it!
Thank you for kind words bro, you should definitely make one :)
Cheers
Moris
“Fenrir” I love it
+Danner Thanks bro :)
I love that the shield has Fenrir on it!
+Shaman of the Wolf Your name says it all 😄
Thank you bro 🤘🍺
Moris
Complete with blood splatter! Too cool. A craftsman and an artist; not the same things. Great work!
Thank you :) I finished art school for sculptor ;)
Cheers
Moris
Cool fantasy shield!
Thank you Bro ! Saved me from friend bashing me with an woodcutters axe...
goshh... this was absolutely STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🖤🤘🍺
Looks great! I normally don't like Viking shields because the painting is usually just a bisection or quadsection of 2 colors. The dragon makes this awesome!
Thank you Bro 🤘 I am also not fond of too simple things haha I always over-complicate things 😊
Great job. I wish you had shared the template for the image.
Thank you Bro 💚 You can find it online 🤘 just google "Fenrir design" it should be first 😉
I love the laughing when squirting the glue
😂😂
A Skoll & Hati themed shield would be really cool!!
Yeah 🤘🍻 chasing the sun and moon
@@EpicWorkshop absolutely! You guys over there have some significant skills. Im sure you could come up with something awsome!!
Thanks Bro 🤘
Probably the best vikings shield I have seen on TH-cam!
+Christopher ROOSE Thanks bro 😉 😊 🍺
Moris
They told me that if ever I needed a shield, I should look to you. You did not disappoint. There will always be a place for you in my Clan
Hahah Thank you Bro 🤘🍺 For Valhalla!!!
and our Honoured dead
Wow! Beautiful! How I wish I could have one… man it would be a dream come true! And the craftsmanship that went into this piece is amazing!
Thank you Nick 🤘😍
That's an impressive craftsmanship.
Thank you Bro 🤘❤️
Good use of a dog bowl 👌🏻
Thanks Bro 🖤 I would like to make new one with real boss this time, now I have bit better budget for videos thanks to Patreons 😊🍻
True nords never back down!
Beautiful shield. Working on one myself. You did a great job ! Thanks for sharing.
The Redsmith Thank you for nice words :D yeahh when you make it send me the pictures to Instagram if you want :)
Epic Workshop is name on Instagram
have a nice day
Epic Workshop Sure. I will post the video on my channel as well. 😊🖒
The Redsmith yeah even better bro :)
I don't understand why this only has a few thousand views right now. This is awesome
Thank you for kind words Austin :) But I am amazed that it has 3,466 views :3
Had me right up to the surgered leather, screws and bowl for the boss, honestly looks like you have the skills to have made the boss your selves. Still a good video, just some constructive feed back
Thanks, I unfortunately don't have tools nor space to forge
Great job! Subscribed.
Maverick Welcome aboard :)
Maverick ❤❤❤
love when you laugh at the sound of the wood glue hahahah
ahh a shield like like that makes me want to put a dragon head on the front of my bass boat and go fishing and raiding down the tennesse river!
+Ranger Minsc Hahahahah That's awesome!! I am coming with!!!
Skal!
i dont know how far we will get but it will be a party either way!
+Ranger Minsc Hahahahah \m/ I first need to get to tennesse river...from Croatia.. see ya in one year :'D
I've though about putting a dragon head on my 55 Sears aluminum boat. It would be fitting, since she's named Lagertha's Revenge.
i’ll tame the dragon.
Beautiful. so beautiful
Thank you Bro 💚🍺
You need to make yourself a push stick! Watching you rip that lumber was nerve racking.
+Matt F I have 3 of them ;) ahh I am aware of what I am doing, but one day I will cut off my arm 🙋 :p
Great videos all around sir.
Thank you James :)
I really like the work this guy does
Zachary Richardson And that guy is super grateful for your very nice words :) Thank you bro :D
Have a nice day
Moris
So beautiful. Make's me proud to be a Viking, like's my ancestors.
+Bonnie Spanos thank you bro 😎
Moris
Epic Workshop you mean "sis".
+Bonnie Spanos oh Bonnie is your real name nice name btw 😊 yeah Sis is okay 👌 😄
Moris
Epic Workshop 😊
Don't get me wrong that is the most beautiful shield I have seen yet on the Internet but I would have liked to see the boss made from a piece of sheet metal instead of a bowl but I am in awe of the craftsmanship of everything else
+Theswaggeringwombat I would also like to have a real boss on there but I don't have place to forge (yet) but I tried to make my own but it didn't work out :( so I used dog bowl which looks amazing for 2 dollars and not 40 dollars for decent handmade shield boss.
Thank you for your comment :)
~M~
I wish, I really wish I saw someone making shield without the modern tech and tools, or at least saying or explaining how vikings did it back then and how to put it together. It's still a nice video though. Cheers!
It would have been completed with saws,hatchets,and chisels all of which vikings had in there day.
A shield worthy of a King
+King Ragnar Ohoo when king says that :D
Svaka cast momci!!! What a beautiful piece of work!
+Gotislav Vasiljkovic Hvala :)
Nice work with the chisel!
Thanks Bro 🤘🍺
That village looks pretty plentiful
Hahah 🤘🍻
do you forge metal? and if so are you ever going to make and battelaxe or sword, or anything Viking related out of metal?
WTFnorway Official my friend has an anvil and we tried to forge arrowhead once but we were interrupted by neighborhood but now we can take anvil and drive it to my place where is no people living nearby so we may try to forge something I would definitely want to make something viking out of metal :) If you have Instagram you can write me there :) Epic workshop is my name
Have a nice day :)
Be cool to make one that has kevlar on the back or in the middle somehow. Imagine a shield-wall of bullet proof Viking shields ?!?!
Hahaha highly needed in those times 😅 it would be interesting with center grip 😂
This is such a good way to get the wood effect without having to do a ton of sanding on the face
+Green Cupcakes Glad you like it 😄😊🤘
Amazing job. Only thing that ruins it all is that bowl...
+PrimyFritzellz Thank you bro 😊😄
Yeah it is true 😥😝
Hahahahah i need to get real one 😊😄
Moris
Great Job !
Thanks man 🤘
I like the Fenrir design you put on there. I'm building my own skjöldr and I'm about halfway done now. I will thank you because I'm using a style and design very much like yours. Thank you again for the ideas and the design. For the decoration of the skjöldr I'm actually painting the curved block with the colors of my family crest.
+EDEN PEACEKEEPER Awesome!! 🤘🍺🤘😘
I don’t like the fake blood but I really like everything else :D
thanks
Nice work! Thx from Czech
+Bugy Thanks buddy :)
Greetings from Croatia
~M~
I'm always amazed at how sharp your chisels are
+Joey Morris Hahah Thanks bro 😉 😊 😂🍺
Excellent. Looks like a fun project;
Thank you William 🤘🍻 it was 😊
Why would anyone dislike this video, it's awesome!!
Thanks a lot 🤘🍺
Yess
Cool for school project
I like the sound of that school 😍
Looks awesome!
+Anton Storchak Thanks for awesome support Anton 😊😄😁😎
Awesome work!
Thanks bro :D
This means a lot i came from vikings so making my own shield means a lot so im subscribing thank you
Thanks Bro 🤘🍺
Awesome shield! Would look great in my wood shop. This may be a future project for me!
+Build Stuff with AJ Hahah Thanks It definitely would look awesome 😄
Great work
Mihai Buris Thanks :)
That's cool it says fenrir and has a sweet wolf on it.
+Jared Montgomery Thank you Jared 😊 yeah I also think that 🤘
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Bro 💚🍺
I will most def make one of these to decorate my interior ! Great job mate, as always if I may say so ! :)
+Le Cobra Awesome :D I absolutley love it for decoration on wall in my wood shop :) good luck and thanks :3
i love that you put fenrir in norse on there
+oliver hardy Of course 😊 😄 🍺 🤘
Awesome video, although ideally the paint would hide the wood grain. You didn't want your opponent to know which way the wood grain runs since this makes it easier to crack the shield (even when it's double boarded). But what the heck, it just looks so epic with the grain showing :P
Thank you Bro 🤘
great, now i have to build like 6 of these to line my apartment to make it look like a mead hall. for reasons.
+freeman621 Best decision ever bro 😎
Have fun making them 😊🤘🤘🤘
Ok took me a while, but finally made my wood sheild, need to send you a pic and see what ya think
+David Good That's awesome David:) send it via Instagram :D
Moris
Excellent !
Rough woods Thank you :)
basically it's a work made in family. . i love it! !
+Andres Suarez Yeah hahaha me, brother and my father were building this (mostly me but :p)
+Andres Suarez Thank you for kind comment bro :) Have a nice day :D
Moris
Really beautiful. I've been thinking of doing a project like this and this video is very motivating
Thank you Bro 🤘 you have to do it 🍻 you will love it 😉
SHIELD WALL!!!

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!
+Valtsu100 Thank you bro 😄 🍺 🤘
Abso-freakin-lutely amazing!
+Jim Westbrook Thank you!! 😀😉😎
Many thanks! Love your work
No prob Bro, Glad to help 💚
Love it! Except for the shield boss. That should have been hammered out of sheet metal. To see the effort made of using planks to make the round, glue & canvas, wooden grip, and a fantastic paint job, only to turn a dog bowl and some screws into a boss and rivets. Regular nails would have made easier and more authentic rivets. The holes for the screws/rivets are too close to the edge of the wood for this shield to be effective long term.
Thanks, I don't have place nor tools to make the boss
I wanna see the back of it next time
Since I use it as a wall decoration, it is very very simple 😂
bad ass.... just like vikings are!
CGCxXSMALLSXx Thank you :D

Incredible Brother!
Thanks Bro :)
Your work is so awesome!
J. Andreas Thank you very much J. :)
I did some research and from some of the few remaining roten shields and some older scripts they are saying that most viking sheilds actually had a taper in around the center it could be almost an inch thick and around the edge it would be less then a quarter inch thick.
+josh greg yeah correct, but making the taper is too hard so i didn't make it 🤔 but I also study every project before making it 😉😊
Moris
Epic Workshop then you know they didnt use screws lol but even when I look it doesnt say if the taper is on the front or the back or if both sides taper inward.
+josh greg I know but try to make one yourself and then you will see that it is hard to make it realistic 🤔
Such a cool shield. Good job!
+Vanq78 Thank you bro :)
Cool!
Did I see the steps correctly? 2 layers of the 8mm boards, laid cross ways, then cloth glued to boards and then background paint on the cloth?
Why the cloth? To smooth the surface?
And thanks for sharing, it looks amazing!
Yep, all correct, it is easier to draw on cloth and it also gives a bit of strength to the shield 😉 Thank you Bro
"FENRIR" !!
and I love the designs
Very nice shield!
Willem Kossen Thanks Willem
Same accolades here! Subscribed.
+Steven Abercrombie Thanks Steven 😊 Welcome aboard 😎🍻🍺
Another great master piece! Just wish you wouldn't make it look so easy! Love your videos! Thanks!
Luther H GrindstoneMtn Thank you bro, it's not hard to do it at all :)
if you decide to make one, you can ask for help anytime through comments or via Instagram
Have a nice day
~M~
Awesome video! I'm currently in the process of making my own shield (using both your video and tips from colleagues of mine) and I was wondering; why did you use screws over nails for the boss?
+Stanovich That us great be sure to send me some pictures via Instagram when you make it 😊😄😍 I didn't have those nails with big heads, and also because of look, I liked idea of mushrooming the head of the brass screw to make it look like "hand made" to give it more man made look, I hope you understand 🤔
But If I ever make another one I will probably try to forge my own nails and shield boss 😄😎
Have a nice day bro 😊
Moris
Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply and a nice day to you too ^_^
+Stanovich 😊
It would be cool if you mounted this on a jeep wrangler where the back spare tire would be or maybe covering the tire
On spare tire it would look epic !!! Send me a jeep and I will make a video 😂😂😂
again , awesome work !!!!! you are a true artist , really . greetings.
+mitsuruji Thanks bro :)
Nice job. Great painting. Only the screws in the handle are not so nice.
+Die Schildmacher Thanks bro, I use it for wall hanger only (unfortunately 😂😂) so it is impossible to see screws 😉
Great use of a salad bowl ;-) Rob.
+RDPproject It's dog bowl 😉😂🍺
Holy.... Awesome work man. Geez that shield would look awesome on my wall lol
+Lobo fräggt hahahahah It would on any wall 😊😁 I really like it 😄
Thank you for nice comment bro 😊 😉 😎
Moris 🤘
Truly phenomenal craftsmanship.
+finn DALCASSIAN Thank you bro :)
I used to be an adventurer like you..
But what happened then? 😅
Im glad you made it say somwthing instead of putting random runics on it
You sir just got a sub, wow great craftsmanship. Skål!
+snake31617 Thanks bro :D Skal!
