- Here's quick, fun project where I'll take you through the steps of making a medieval style shield from pallet wood. This will be a little different from my usual projects, if you're expecting a lot of forging this is NOT the video. Instead I'm going a different direction and building shield from (mostly) wood scraps to go with the battle axe we made last week.
Is this a viking shield? Medieval shield? Fantasy shield? You decide!
Tools include: angle grinder, belt sander, metal file, blow torch, spray paint, craftsman jigsaw and more. When we're done we'll have fully functional shield--may be a little light for actual medieval warfare, but it's definitely not a toy...er...maybe kind of toy. But still quite sturdy.
This is the type of build that might be useful for a Halloween costume party or maybe a short video project or just for fun in the backyard.
Follow along and make this shield, or just watch and enjoy the show. Either way, thanks for joining me and I hope you have a wonderful day. Cheers!

Looks pretty good. You reminded me how as a kid I built shields in the backyard out of old wood like that and have sword fights (with sticks) with friends. So much fun.
scottecooke Lol! Yup, Honestly, that’s pretty much what’s going on here… Just don’t tell my wife she thinks I’m building a business. LOL! 😂
Oh boy, we had better keep that on the down low ;)
FargoFX that exactly what I say to my wife when I'm out building 15ft trebuchets and shields after hours!
That sounds like fun! And we didn't have Skyrim back then so fighting with sticks and makeshift shields was the shit!
That's a nice project, as a kid I would have wet myself if my dad had made me one. You could use just a piece of plywood, thinner if just for the kids, & score parallel grooves for the "plank" effect.
Real ones were made from poplar, lime or alder(I think) wood rather than any other, because they were both light & resisted splitting along the grain well when hit. That was a key factor. The planks were made to fit precisely together & then butt glued with casein(milk protein) glue. Steel bosses are available from many replica weapon sellers & most common were central handgrips, made by cutting a hole behind where the boss goes (That's why the boss is used-to cover that hole & your hand). then a strip if iron or wood is nailed across the back of the shield, often wrapped at the grip with leather or cloth for the grip & also adds a little reinforcement to the shield. Sometimes they were left with faces just painted, sometimes the faces were covered in leather or cloth(stout canvas) before painting. Then usually a reinforcing rim of rawhide or metal strip was either nailed or sewn around the edge. Most would also have a longer carrying strap so the shield could be slung over the shoulder across the back for easy carriage. Diameters were generally 24 to 32 inches. the larer they are, the more they get in the way of the user's melee weapons.
Modern reinactors cheat a bit by using very small(short) carpet tacks to fix the rawhide(Rawhide needs to be soaked & pliable before applying. As it dries it becomes hard like tough plastic & shrinks holding the shield edges tightly together.), but in old times it would have been sewn on with stout twine or leather thong. They often use plywood instead of planks as it's cheaper, readily available, doesn't need to be special wood as the cross-ply layers reduce splintering & is pretty tough. 9mm or 12mm is pretty common. It can be lightly scored in parallel lines(not too deep as plank ones would have barely visible joints so they fitted nicely for good strong glued joints).
Hope that helps anyone interested.
After becoming attached to wanting a shield for my sword, I have now decided to make one tomorrow following a similar design, thanks alot!
Here from watching xqc wooden shield tactic
Beautiful lifting stones at the end sitting on the pallet
Great project for us maintenance guys at work! Working on a way to joust on our tricycles
great job man looks great also really glad to see that you mentioned all the propane tanks should be properly emptied you don't hear everybody say that all the time lol keep it up man
backyardbladesmith Thanks! I have an uncle who was actually injured pretty badly when some flammable residue ignited in a tank he was welding on. This happened about 30 years ago, but it’s the kind of thing that sticks with you when you’re a kid. Truthfully, I’m pretty sure these little propane cylinders pose a lot less risk than that, but it’s always good to keep in mind. Thanks again!
I didn't know they made Jigsaws for kids.
Nicely done. A good quick shield. Though it might be more comfortable with a center hole behind the boss, gives room for the hand.
More authentic to the way sheilds were constructed at the time as well.
Epidemic sound is what I use. It's super easy and they have some great music. Their cheapest plan is $15 a month and is views based.
OUTDOORS55 Cool! I will definitely check that out. Thanks!
The first thing I ever made was a shield. I used a leather belt, as well. I cut it so that the ends were the arm strap, so that they could be adjusted to each person's arm size.
I'm really liking the torch coloring of the wood. I'm into making full size shields & will be using your technique. Thanx !
Bing bang pow boom bing. That's the wooden shield. It makes an X
Great tutorial sir, i shall now go and put your teachings at work and make my own!
BING BANG POW
I just found this trying to find channels like ours. We made a shield video in a very similar manner. I Like the way you burned the pattern in it and the leather handle.
I've made something similar, a small rectangular shield for one arm with added metal support, since my dad is quick witted and gets angry quickly. now whenever he takes out his belt on me he will have no chance XD
damn
Fill the container/gas can with water. It's the safest method of getting rid of remaining possibly exploding stuff in there
Great video! Thanks !!!!
Will make one for my nephew!
Simple but good looking nice job
Very cool shield! well done!
Now it's a chess move
I have to to make some shields, mainly for decorations. Definitely doing this, thank you.
Turned out pretty good, but for a more aesthetic look id recommend using nails instead of screws to suit the period
loved ur way of talk while u are making stuffs
If your want to stay in the theme of 'viking' then Danheim, Heilung, Murknorr is a option! Great video btw.
Yes
Very cool! I recall making rifles out of scrap wood when i was a kid but had I a shield like this is those days I would have gone a viking thru my backyard and the woods quite a bit !
So cool! Btw allways wear a respirator when working with pallet wood. There is a big chance it is treated against bugs with a nasty toxic chemical.
Use a sawzall with a metal cutting blade. I make all sorts of pallet stuff. Easy peasy lemon squeezey, Rick!
Wicked cool man 👍🤘👊
I’m here after watching the north man movie !
Cool video. Thanks.
@technoaxe has been doing royalty free for years with SUCH A VARIETY including all your favorite hard and heavy tunes. Or in this video, something medieval and cinematic. Perhaps the grand orchestral is too put of date, the modernized medieval fantasy tracks has modern variants to choose from! Give this guy a try technoaxe. Oh funny....AXE.
Amazing
Great video as always!!thanks for constantly changing things upLoL
Mark Tyler Thanks! Yeah, I figure October is a good month just to have some fun and try some different projects. Have a great day, my friend!
I love this!!! Sux that pallets are not easy to bust down...but that turned out pretty doggone cool
Native Tearz Thanks! Yeah, I’ve seen people make special tools for pulling pallets apart, I think if I was going to do this a lot I would probably do that… It’s a huge pain otherwise.
Pallets are not hard at all to take apart all you need is a hammer and a flat bar I can bust down a typical pallet in about 10 minutes and that's taking it slow being careful not to break any of the wood
Awesome shield man
Jessy Kirk Thanks!
Good video. I may try that
This was a fun project! Great video brother. Keep up the good work. Always fun watching your channel. Loved the worn out belt comment. Lol
Outlaw Edge Bladeworks Bushcraft and Survival Thanks, my friend. Lol, yeah it’s leather, I’m sure it just shrank several inches in the closet over the years. 😂
I don't know if you have found your royalty free music but, I would suggest epidemic sounds. Always get new music and the cost is reasonable.
good job
Nice straight forward vid. I make shields and sell them. Sheild bosses are cheap to buy and add a nice authentic look.
im planning on making a sword soon and i will probably make a shield as well time to go on a crusade
xQc the chess master
Gonna give this a try for my viking costume this halloween 🤙🏼 thank you for a good vid! Liked and Subbed 🛡️🪓
These videos are so good, how the hell do you not have more subs 😱😱
Alex Ruiz ive been saying tge same thing! Great guy awesome channel 👍
Outlaw Edge Bladeworks Bushcraft and Survival Thanks, guys! I really appreciate the support, have a great day!
Not many people wanting to make shields?
Music for videos Artgrid it's a fairly cheap subscription option for budget good musics
I'm planning on building a dining room table out of a pallet but making it look like a larger viking shield with folding wood table legs for easy storage. Any tips?
Cool man, i subscribed
Keep up the great work and content! I'm surprised you don't have more subs
Justin Xiong Thanks! Ive had the channel for a while, but didn’t really start regular uploads until a few months ago, I guess it just takes time to build subscribers. I really appreciate your comment, it’s nice to get feedback like that. Have a great day!
hi i have a question... what is the fracture toughness of the wood? i search the approximation in KJ/m2 or in MPa in order to understand what kind of arrow a shield of wood can stop... thanks
In real shields they chose poplar, lime or alder as other woods split too easily when hit, though the ply backing would help in this. They also covered or painted the shields to avoid showing the plank joints, as these were obvious points of weakness to exploit, though real plank built shieldsd would have very neat, tight joints so they fitted together as strong as they could. I'd expect pallets are made from some softwood, pine or the like, splitting fairly easily.
Liked the video but maybe it's just me but personally I like something like this to be talk through like what u did what u used and stuff. Me being not as skilled in this but would be happy to say I got off my lazy butt and made this and give credit
Streambeats is an amazing source
I need that saw.... where did you get that saw!
Sound Cloud.
I’m just using the top of a pot for now lol
Uuuuummm...1st mistake. Not activating the Gorilla Glue by wetting it down. 2nd thing is that you should have at least trued up each board with a saw and dowel pinned and glued them together. If it's a kids toy it's ok tho. Like the burned cross on it tho! Nice!
Would it not be more useful, if you cut out the wood behind the metal , giving more space for your hand?
I really don't know, just asking.
Nice video btw.
This IS how its supposed to be made, hole and caps to protect the hand ans just a piece of wood behing the hole to hold it
I found a app called free music it has Instagrams colours and a white music note best of luck very cool dude.
I used this to learn how to build a hobbit door! Cheers man thumbs up & subbed you make some really cool stuff
Just catching up on a month of missed you tube, this thumb nail had me pissing myself, awesome. well done with your channel growth, you are doing a really good job.
coincidentally i recently put up a video on dismantling pallets with no tools, it works pretty well for me, 5 minutes and its done.
on the rare occasion i put music over a video, I just google copyright free music and hundreds of sites come up
I was using wood prix instructions to make it and I did it already :)
Thats coop772 music lol you are now also tacticool
Well, you got the same high tech super advanced belt grinder as me :D 1:26
Two questions is this ok for actual combat and two can you make a metal Roman/Greek warrior model?
I know some awesome music just look up. Pree keyed FX. Then click footage crate. After that click SFX and music and pick out some music. If you have any questions just ask me and I will send you a video on how to do it
Nice 👍. Wow 601
For royalty free music, look up Kevin McLoed
Valhalla awaits you :v 💪😃
How come you didn't just glue and screw the ply to the pallet wood then cut out the circle?
heilung lifa full show is worth a view or listen 5.5 million views [the pallet factory is not shy when using nails i use a cutting disc between the gaps n slice n dice the nailey little pins away it leaves better quality wood but half nails/pins to be aware of and only takes 5 minutes to do] cheers ? hope you get to a medieval fight /cosplay
My son made his out of an old wire spool.
Qd4
Yeah its uh called ram ranch
ha! I recognise the music, Coop uses it, He reviews Nerf Guns =P
For music i see kevin McLeod alot on other channels
Your kids are going to be like spartans or something
Hey, check Incompetech ! This website have some (quite old but eh, royalty free) good tracks for videos ! Surprisingly, many of them have already been used in pretty neat creation.
Fox RED thanks for the tip! Cheers!
I've made a few songs if you like am you can use a couple, I'd just want a credit on screen or something like that.
Have you tried brokeforfree?
Geety music
Very nice project and video. I would really like to showcase it on our show The Maker Report. I would just use a few snippets and then direct people back to the full video and your channel. You can check out a recent episode on our channel to see how we would use it. Let me know. Thanks.
Spotify is good for music
👍 good job
P.s. I make music
NoCopyrightSounds is good
I made 4 and me and my friend did a shield 🛡 wall for nerf wars
Maybe you don't want to say "medieval", becouse... well it's not
Still liked it really much! Keep up the good work!
Floris Videler Lol! Are you questioning the historical authenticity of my shield design? I’ve seen the portion of the Bayeux tapestry where the Normans used old pallets and propane cylinders when making their round shields. 😂
You can get all kinds of free music from LimeWire😁😁
Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.
Go on soundclick.com you can find some really great beats and instrumentals on this website this is a site where even mainstream artists get their music from
NCS music
Hey great video, I use NCS for my music. It stands for No Copywrite Sounds. Its a TH-cam channel, and all you have to do is download it and give credit to the artist.
pyrotech1999 cool Thanks for the tip!
Hey are you still looking for music for your Channel?
Don't add music. Just work noices and your voice :)
