This pattern helps you build a small round shield from foam and leather. I recommand having some experience with veg. tanned leather already. This shield is about 52 cm in diameter, 3 cm thick and weights 2 kg, which is more on the heavy side but is is very stable and has no need for a wood core, so you are good to go an charge your opponent.
