plywood punch shield
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 10:53 pm
So I made a punch shield out of about half inch plywood - about 12 ok inches by 22 inches. I didn't put a hole for the grip like the wiki says but instead I put 2 layers of foam on the back to put my handle in. I accidentally cloth taped the hole handle (instead of just the grip) and dapped it to a groove in the foam
Problems:
1 - as I hold the shield and come in contact with stuff, my knuckles pound the wood.
2 - the handle seems to be glued a little loose, and some significant force might knock it off.
The front already has two layers of foam called on.
Is there any hope for saving this shield or should I start over?
