Eistulfarnir

Making a shield is not an easy journey but it is not impossible. The end result is really satisfying and the shield that is made by yourself defends many times better. Or at least it feels so...

We made our eight first shields as a teamwork.
It started with cutting plywood into precise shape. Liis and Silver did that. Then Liis also cut the cotton fabric, Reino and Silver glued the fabric onto the shields and Reino painted it blue after the paint was dry.
In the meantime everybody did forge their shield boss. We all remember the hot flames, fumes and lots of precise hits on the red metal like it was yesterday.
Everybody also did carve their handle and attached last two parts of the mighty shield!
It is almost ready, but what is missing is the durability! Liis has covered half of the shields' edges with rope and leather.
Now the last thing we are missing is two wolves chasing each other. This the symbol of Estonian wolves which in Danish is Eistulfarnir, our name.

We intend make all or most of our equiplent by ourselves and help each other in the process. We love fighting, crafting and good company!

This is Martin's shield. He did put a lot of effort into the shield boss!

Meie oleme juba sisse kolinud. Tule ka sina ja vaata, kas saad naha soojaks :)
Teeme trenni nüride relvadega, seega on vaja kaasa võtta sisejalanõud, tavalised treeningriided ning võimalusel põlvekaitsmed.

Võid meile kirjutada ja enda tulekust teada anda. Kaks esimest trenni on kõigile tasuta ning pärast seda on tasuks 5 eurot kord ja võimalus ise oma kirves ja ka soovil ka muud varustuse osad teha.

Ilusat septembri viimast nädalat!

Ka Aktuaalne Kaamera käis võitlust uurimas.

Tartus esitavad entusiastid iganädalaselt viikingivõitlust Kuigi viikingiaeg oli sajandeid tagasi, pole viikingid Eestist kuhugi kadunud. Iga nädal koguneb Tartus punt muinasriietes ning kilpide ja mõõkadega varustatud inimesi, et taasesitada ajaloolist lääne viikingivõitlust.

Another great album from sTARTUp Night!
