  • @DualAxer : A double grip is not historically accurate and decreases maneuverability with the shield. Viking style of shield combat was meant to deflect blows, not absorb them like a heavier Greek shield.

    The dish is harder to go through than the wood, so no, it makes it harder for the shield to be penetrated. The hole and dish is needed to accommodate a center style grip.

  • I bet a WWI doughboy helmet would make a good boss.

  • very nice :) do u have any different types of shields? and or wepons (axes swords daggers ect.)?

  • @woodsarmoury Is there any particular type if wood that is best for a dishing stump?

  • a comomn viking shield wld be 3ft diameter and plus the wood you are using has many knots and holes

  • @lockbreak12 hand-drill would have worked just as good

  • @singful have used the shield a few times cant say the bolts caused me any harm. rivets are another option...

  • @SamGCampbell never would have through of that...makes sense...

  • Excuse me double grip decreases manouvrability so, this is ok..
