The Vikings made many interesting weapons, armor, and other battle gear. In this video from metalsmith Freerk Wieringa, he handcrafts a replica of an ancient Viking shield. He starts by hammering its iron center and forging nails. He then cuts wooden planks into a circle and adds canvas, paint, and a rawhide edge before attaching the metal dome.
