Building a shield

Hey for those of you into the crafts I am building a shield based on this site [url]http://www.romanempire.net/romepage/ForumRomanum/MilitaryCampaigns/Dagorhirshield.htm[/url]


I guess the best person to ask is Messiah, any recommendations before I go out and purchase supplies?

    Youre going to use it for latex combat? Id say the best recommendation I can give is use a good glue, make sure youve sanded the edges down, so the wood doesnt come through the foam material, and make sure youve got good ventilation when you glue/latex..

    thanks messiah I will try my best I have done anything like this in a long time so I don't expect it to come out well. But I'm going to take my sweet time with it.

    I don't know if I'm going to use it for any kind of combat, yet. But when I can afford something more expensive I might do as another site suggested and try it with Kevlar.

    Tell you, I'd love to learn the sorts of fighting skills to go along with that shield. Apparently there's a club somewhere here in Aberdeen where they teach it, so I might investigate that.

    according to my uncle their is a blacksmith in my hometown here. I may ask for his services at some point. Your trade is not dead, yet Messiah.

    @ShadowDancer THIS IS SPARTA!

    The "battles" they reenact on that website crack me up. They fight each other with foam mallets. :D
