Making an authentic kite shield board using modern tools
Part 2 did not come as we failed the shooting, but we did do a next video:
• Kiteshield presentation and first impression
Our shield is inspired by the Original 12th Century Kite Shield from Szczecin.
It it can be found in a museum here:

Most important information and geometric analysis of it we got from The Dimicator. See his work from here:

Important experience was also shared by mr Patrick Lasota.
The alder planks were bought from Fiskarin Laatupuu Oy:

The reindeer rawhide is from Kemin Nahkatarvike Oy:

The board was made by Hirdmenn member Arttu Peltoniemi and Carpenter Tanda Tuovinen.
Please ask if you need more information. We are glad to help. If you make your own shield please share your experience in our facebook page or instagram so we can all learn more:
