Captain America’s [Strongest] Shield 

To make our strongest Captain America shield ever, we welded two pieces of thick steel together, then brazed on the Taskmaster logo [this was a project in line with the Black Widow Movie in 2021]. To make the classic domed shape of the shield, Bogdan used a process called hydroforming, which let us bend the steel into a perfectly round shape using high pressure fluid pumped into the interior cavity formed by the two metal discs being welded together. 

After hydroforming, the fluid was removed and the bottom half of the “shield” removed. For an extra thick shield we could have welded both halves together again at this stage by inverting one half inside the other, but that would have made it too heavy to wield comfortably. 

Bogdan then finished brazing the copper logo onto the front and began polishing the entire face of the shield. 

The shield was then tested against wood, concrete, and even our Stormbreaker… before finally being shot with bullets. In the end we proved it was nearly completely bulletproof and incredibly durable!
