Thrand goes all out explaining the process of building a period Viking age shield. Thrand Builds a Linden wood shield from quarter inch planks covered with casein or cheese glue and clenched nails. He even explains how to make center boss or umbo and casein glue with simple ingredients. This video covers many new experimental techniques but has the information to build any early period shield from migration era through the Viking age well in to the late middle ages such as kites and heaters. This is a two part series and prelude to the Linden wood shield test video.
