- How de do fella's? Today we's making us a slick (not quite historically accurate) Viking round shield. Out of pallets. And a frying pan.
Also accidentally the heaviest round shield in the history of, well, anything.
This is the design i (shhh) copied. No clue who's it is, just found it on google images. Very sweet design: i.ebayimg.com/...

In case any of all ya'll was wonderin, the blank screen @ 17:02 was the editor goofing off on me. No clue how that happened.........
What editing software do you use? Are you a pc or mac or don't care kind of guy?
I am a PC sinner, ashamed to say. I use Cyberlink Powerdirector. I think I have version 15. You?
Started out on PC but switched to mac in 2015 and I'm NEVER turning back. (Much to my grandfather's dismay. He has been a windows computer technician for 40 years) I use Adobe Premiere Pro CC and an iPhone 6+ for shooting video (mainly because it has a good microphone).
Considering switching to Final Cut Pro X because Premiere takes so dang long.
Yeah, Macs are nice. I use macs at church, thats what our sound system uses, cause the fella who set it up was a mac guy. The thing I don't like about macs is how dang pricey they are. But, they are simple and just work. So I dunno. You film with an iphone? Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that. I am surprised at the quality of the audio. Pretty good. What is the difference between Final Cut and Premiere? I mainly decided to use Power Director because my Dad already had used it, and I knew how to use the system. I believe they are all fairly comparable, so I figured I'd just get an upgrade on what I already knew how to use. That's the main thing. Spending enough hours using the program to figure out how to use it effectively.
Viking shields (and most shields really) rarely RARELY ever had a metal edge. It was usually rawhide and it was just to keep the wood from splitting and protect it from moisture and rot.
Also you wanted weapons to bite the axe and not deflect off. cause the weapons would be stuck even for a second to give you a chance to strike while they were stuck
This rocks Jake!
My son and I are going to build some super heavy shields!!!
"Or so wikipedia told me"
Sounds about right.
Depends on how you define reliable, I suppose. Its generally fairly accurate. What inaccuracies have you seen on there?
Haha 😂 Dang! I hate it when take a joke seriously.
Good job bro. Nice and easy instructions how to make myself. Will only go 1 wood board thick myself as making for wall decoration in my house 👍👍👍
LOL! Time to start a high protein diet. I almost made mine two layers, but knew it would be heavy as all get out. Frying pan for a boss, good idea. Would be cool if you could use blueing on the boss and trim or hit them with sulfuric acid wash.
Hey that’s an idea. Dunno how the metals would react to a blue… probably wouldn’t match. Different alloys and stuff. Also i think the metal I used for the trim is galvanized
I like your editing and humour ;) and as a descendant of Vikings (kinda), I can say it looks awesome :D
Thanks! I most highly appreciate your unbiased viking opinion 😅
If you make a historically accurate one one day, soak up some rawhide dog chew toy bones(cheapest and easy to find)to wrap around the edge and only make it 1 layer of boards thick 👍🏻
You know I think they’ve actually found a few shields banded with metal. Probly a lot less common tho for da rich boys
Nice
Awesome 😎
Thanks Jake. Built a shield for a GORUCK event as the team weight. Great vid
Awesome job kid! Thanks for posting
Thanks you! Especially for calling me a kid like filthy adult 😉
What is the metal that you used for the shield rim, and how thick is it? I want to make my shield rim out of metal, but I’m having trouble figuring out a way to do it.
The best.
Just some info, Viking shields dosnt have Arm strips.
Just the handle, just letting you know till next time ;)
Yeah you're right. I only added the arm strap because it turned out so heavy and I decided i'd rather have more usability than historical accuracy. Thanks for the tip tho
I watched this and now I know what not to do when building my shield. Thanks Jake!!!
Lol that is such a twisted compliment XD
@@jakemakes I'm also making mine out of pallet wood. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll try to do one layer of wood and a couple to use as a brace.
Anyways I subscribed to you because you seem super cool and make awesome things. I look forward to future makes. :)
Awesome video dude!
Where did u get that logo on the shield
I hope the poor buns weren't scared from the noise!
Oh sheesh man, they was scared stiff. I just figured if they died of fright then they'd get to skip being lunch later 😜
Most accurate viking shield replicas are actually closer to 8-10 pounds xD The part of the shield closest to your handhold would only be 1 cm thick while at the rim it would be around 6-7 mm (give or take). I'd recommend using bracing ply, you can get a 4' by 8' sheet for like $16 at Home Depot.
Because of how light they were you'd need to up the protective power without adding weight. Literally lather each side of the shield with wood glue or elmer's glue and stretch an old bedsheet over top of it and cut out the shape, this will hold the wood together so you can afford to have it as light as you need it. Also it makes a good canvas for painting on your design. You can also add a few braces of wood that are parallel to the handle to help the wood from splitting too deeply. You might want to make the handle smaller as well, with how much it's bulging out the shield is just going to want to fall forward whenever you're holding it, just plane it down so the handheld is almost in the hole. Yeah there's a lot of weird science to this that I never would have thought I'd know but here I am xD Just look up Thegnthrand's video to get a way better visual.
Not dissing on your project it looks great I just figured you might want to make a lighter one next time xD I did like the exact same thing with making the shield way to heavy.
Would you glue a bed sheet on both sides or just the front?
@@WolfManWv9 Both, the sheets and the glue hold the wood together. Also it's just more comfortable to have your arm resting on fabric.
@@WolfManWv9 Be generous with the glue, if it soaks into the sheet that's perfectly fine. It may add a bit of weight but since wood glue can be stronger than the wood it really helps hold it together.
@@jakemarsh8967 my last question? On a 34” shield, how much glue would I need to buy? To glue together & for the sheet front and back? 1 Litre? Thanks for help btw 💪
@@WolfManWv9 A litre should be plenty.
maybe if you didnt have toothpick arms you could lift more than 3 lbs
True dat
Maybe if ur biceps weren’t tooth picks it wouldn’t be as heavy
Lol! Yeah that would help
Jake Makes glad u took this like a champ!
Hahahahah
@@jakemakes i relate to this problem
This guy kinda reminds me of Eric Forman from the 70s show
Dunno who that is but I’ll take it as a compliment lol
Anywho, I do like the video, it is another proud giant of the MIM-I series. Congrats. I really would recommend Miners and Home Depot, when you're looking for the blood of your foes, they have some great choices.
Jeez Brokk, everyone knows Lowe's has the largest selection. 😀
I'm a looking foward to your Gondorian shield. Though you'll have a tough time beating mine 😜
Yeah, well, it'll be lighter, at least. I'm sort of taking creative liberties (my favorite thing to do in the building process), so it might not actually be a Gondorian Shield. I dunno.
Well, whatever sorta shield, i'm sure it will be cool.
Nice work
Raw hide or leather would of had been better
Eh it’s a style choice
Hey how about using them as wheel protection on your mad Max car lol cool bro Anthony Kent
Ha!
Whats the size of the pan???
8-ish inches I think
awesome, love your twirl with the hammer. (still jealous of your cowboy boots) :)
Thanks. Yeah its funny, down here everybody and their grandmother's poodle wears cowboy boots.
How much does this weigh?
try 9mm in the middle tapering out to about 5mm.
nice sheald mam
I have the same headphones
I could use it
Great video!
36 divided by 2 ?!?!?! C'mon man you're homeschooled!
I know right? Complete brain failure seems to occur every time I see numbers......😂
Ha! Abeka (the curriculum I've studied for ~8 years) incessantly pounded the multiplication tables into my head when I was little and that's the only reason I have a chance at math.
It's not that I don't know what 36 divided by 2 is, I do. It's 18. (see?) I can do math. Really. 2+2=5. See? I can do math.
You want to know my theory? I think an extraterrestrial alien came down (to view more closely the rare spectacle of the great Jake building a MOST impressive Viking shield) and while watching accidentally let off his laser vision which unintentionally temporarily fried the ventrotemporal occipital cortex of my brain, rendering me incapable of carrying out unaided by pencil and paper the simple task.
Under normal circumstances I DO know that 36 divided by 2 equals 17.
Yep, that'll do it. Gotta watch those aliens man. Where's your foil hat?
I had a next door teacher in 6th-grade public school that was really into aliens and Sasquatch. There was a kid in his class that also believed they were real and I heard them geeking out over Sasquatch in the hallway a couple times. Ohhhhmy.
