Here's quick, fun project where I'll take you through the steps of making a medieval style shield from pallet wood. This will be a little different from my usual projects, if you're expecting a lot of forging this is NOT the video. Instead I'm going a different direction and building shield from (mostly) wood scraps to go with the battle axe we made last week.
Is this a viking shield? Medieval shield? Fantasy shield? You decide!
Tools include: angle grinder, belt sander, metal file, blow torch, spray paint, craftsman jigsaw and more. When we're done we'll have fully functional shield--may be a little light for actual medieval warfare, but it's definitely not a toy...er...maybe kind of toy. But still quite sturdy.
This is the type of build that might be useful for a Halloween costume party or maybe a short video project or just for fun in the backyard.
Follow along and make this shield, or just watch and enjoy the show. Either way, thanks for joining me and I hope you have a wonderful day. Cheers!

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
