[asahearts1]

You listen to some good music, bro.

[SCAREDBANANA]

Listening Metallica and building medieval armory, Is there anything more manly than that?

[Julesbadmotherfucker]

Really good tutorial

[iSMITH4life]

very nice, how did you get the depressions in the stump? also what kind of wood is the stump? you should make a full metal shield like that.

[tattooeddrummer71]

make more vids this one is cool but keep the radio off :)

[Warriorlegend756]

You do what I dream of doing. How I envy you

[MrPekkaHeino]

How long did it take to make the shield boss?

[Halofreakanoid]

@MrPekkaHeino It probably only took him 30-60 minutes I bet.

[Rastel888]

Plan on playing "Skyrim"?

[Rastel888]

now that is a freakin awesome hobby, great stuff man

[xPVTxKESTIx]

Is including a boss absolutely necessary? I have made 2 shields and not used a boss, but they wound up breaking, and didn't absorb a lot of the impacts, I think just from being made out of fiber-glassed plywood. I have started a 3rd plank shield, made out of 2.5x5.5 pine planks. It is 24in long by 18in tall. If you have any advice, I would love to hear back.

[DualAxer]

what are the measurements for the boss depression?

[lazzablazza]

what thickness was the metal you used?

[whowantsabighug]

@lazzablazza He said 16 guage.

[lazzablazza]

what thickness was the metal you used?

[wildwoodtoys]

Trying to find a round anvil you used to finish the piece off - did you make that yourself or are they available somewhere? Any tips on that on? Thanks - love the video, learned a lot. Just started building my first shield for re-enactments

[QSEFYJILP]

is that metallica's black album in the background there ?? :D u sir have class

[puffmasta3000]

is there any specific hammer u use for this?

[fredstatz]

next time you make a video dont have the rock music blarring in the background, i can barely hear you

[Thedawg4life]

DUDE!! you have Stone Temple Pilots going on in the backround, that's like my favorite band and i'm a 13 year old girl:) By the way, great video!

[germanhuntingdog]

Hey thanks for the video tons of help. I do have a few questions for you:

One: How did you make the dishing stump? Like how did you make the impressions in it.

Two: Were do you get the Planishing tool? You can get back to me at jbarone80@gmail.com thanks

[airsoftsniper171]

@germanhuntingdog The dishing stump was made with a chainsaw. You just use the tip of the saw to carve the dishes out.

[RockingOrange11]

how you dd make the holes in the tree stump?

[airsoftsniper171]

@RockingOrange11 chainsaw

[doncolin1]

@airsoftsniper171 jigsaw

[azrael6699]

How did you get the dishes in the stump?

[airsoftsniper171]

@azrael6699 chainsaw

[tokorev747777]

Haha Metallica song while making shields. Epic win!

[PsychoProz]

Nice work ! I want suggest you to fix your stump. You will lose less power from yours hits.

[BNRMoulinet]

nice background music

[HunterBeforeTheLord]

for the dishing block did you burn out those holes?

[kanaScd2]

damn you got a nice shop bro

[lockbreak12]

I always figured 16 gauge would be too thin for this

[airsoftsniper171]

@lockbreak12 14gauge would be better, if you plan on fighting with the shield...

[Sugardaddy501]

Long live rock and roll

[woodsarmoury]

Watch  part two and three...

[eugen806]

I mean holes in wood not than in the umbo

[eugen806]

How you did those holes ?

[woodsarmoury]

@eugen806 Watch part two and three...

[eugen806]

How did those holes

[woodsarmoury]

Thanks, I plan on making more video's like this one.

[jameasun]

great demo on dishing...

[MorkaGraven]

there is a pneumatic tool for beating steel...

[KingEdthemedievalman]

Thanks for showing how the boss is made, I've been trying to make one in the past, and it did not turn out well.
