Materials needed:

Tools needed:

Steps:
1.) 01:43 - 2:58 Measuring diameter, drawing the round shape
2.) 2:59 - 6:07 Cutting the board
3.) 6:08 - 8:16 Covering surface with wood glue
4.) 8:17 - 9:35 Putting canvas cover on
5.) 9:36 - 11:53 Attaching shield boss

8.) 15:11 Testing
I did not build this shield to look very historically accurate but it does have the appropriate size, weight and handling. It’s intended for HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) practice and sparring, so it doesn’t have to pretty.
