raysouth Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Has anyone on the site, made leather shields? I would like to make a large round shield but need some "how do I do it" assistance. helmut Quote
Members WinterBear Posted April 23, 2012 Members Report Posted April 23, 2012 Helmut, try looking up "targe" here on this site. There are some good examples of this Scottish shield, and some discussion of the construction. The Tandy Leathercraft Library also has a doodle page targe pattern and instructions--I'll see if I can find that if you want to message me later so I don't forget. This guy shows some nice finished ones: http://www.targemaker.co.uk/, and you might also try the forums at http://www.xmarksthescot.com (you'll have to register there to view the photos and use the search engine). And this topic here seems to have some good discussion and links: http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=143225 Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
