Sled shield

I have an old 3 foot round plastic sled I want to turn into a shield. Have any of yall tried this and if so, do you have any pointers? I wield a double bladed red ax with a stabby and want a good back shield...I know...with a domed sled I'll look like a turtle, but I'll have protection..LOL!

Anyway any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Sled shield

If you want to be super sweet cut half moon shaped grooves out of the sides so you can swing. Other than that...dap some blue foam to it? Don't know really. Sheilds aren't my thing.

(useless post while bogi waits for his dap to dry)

Re: Sled shield

Thanks! The shield works great. The inside straps are elastic so they stretch to my arms yet are soft enough for comfort. I also left cut out where the handles were on the inside so I could put a strap for a back shield...which comes in handy when I use my red axe....HEHE!
