period plank shield construction

 Period Plank Shield Construction by Warren Cummins RTT Combat/Archery Recognized Authenticity Thegn Over several years, I hav e made a few dozen shields out of planks and plyw ood. Both are effective if done correctly . The shields are for rebated steel comb at and are designed to withstand a lot of abuse. They are not indestructible h owever and have a limited li fe span.  The information provided in this resource is designed to help the reenactor build an economical and func tional shield. The size and dimension s are based on historical examples and have been modified slightly to allow for ease of construction and for maximum strength o f materials and a fairly light finished shield . I am assumi ng that most people can use tools and so things like peining a rivet are not covered.  Materials 3/8" x 4" x 36" planks of period w ood. For this s hield I used quarter sawn ash as a material and ensure d grain of the w ood was irregular to prevent splitting. Use freshly sawn wood and not kiln dried wood. I got my wood milled at a wood turning shop where they produce "thins" regu larly. I bought enough to make the ha ndle and strapping on the shield and the shield face. Total for planks was around 65.00  Period woods include linden, basswood, oak, pop lar, willow, birch and ash. I suggest using a wood that is both strong and light. Linden or limewoo d is both, but really expensive. I settled on the ash as a c ompromise.  Plywood w orks too if you want to save money. Use 4x4' poplar sub flooring at 3/8" t hick. You can get two smaller shields out of this or one larger one. These run around 20.0 0. Use quarter inch poplar for handles and strapping.  Shield boss is an extra large 14 gauge spun steel boss with 6 holes made by Get Dressed for Battle. They hav e an 8" d iameter edge to edge and a 6" opening . I like this size as I get my big hand with a fight glove on into it easily. They are strong, and run 20.00 or so. There are many makers of these out there too, but don't go lighter than 16 gauge as the metal can collapse after repeated blows unless hot forged. Make sure it fit s you with your fight glove on. Rivets for the shield are 2" common nails with 16 guage washers made from auto body mild steel and cut with shears and punched out with a sheetmetal punch.  Nails for rim are 1" saddle tacks designed to clench over when hammered into an anvil. These can be had from Weaver Leather in Ohio or any fine saddle and tack shop and run about 400 to the pou nd. A pound is around 15.00 I have them in s tock too.
