Why do people think that in Medieval times craftsmen where neanderthals just hitting things with hammers brainlessly? They could make fine jewelry, cut precious stones and create and use machinery. They might lack rubber but they had tools, light and heavy. Primary difference is that instead of using electricity (or steam) to power them, most of these tools were human-powered with levers and counterweights. That said; excellent video Joerg!

All power tools do is speed up the process. Anything you can do with power tools can be done with hand tools. It would just take quite a bit longer, increasing the cost of an equipped bow from the modern +50-100% price tag, to +200-300%. The only question remaining at that point is if the addition is worth the price increase, and I'm fairly certain, given equal numbers of fielded weapons, the equipped bows would outperform unequipped bows. the question is if it would be worth the increased cost. But since the addition is modular, you can actually build the bow separately, so it's not a question of one or the other, but how many of both.

Joerg - I'm sure I remember correctly that the shields found in northern France from the 12th century were "plied" - meaning made up of thin layers with the grain running in different directions. If you think about it the reason why they would do that is obvious - the shield will be resistant to splitting. That is a specific application for a specific use however, and I don't know of any provenance for medieval plywood other than that. Perhaps someone else does? The common spring material used was cow horn, which was used in crossbow lock design, and there were a variety of glues available with various properties depending on what you were doing: (1) Common animal glues made from horn, hoof and sinew shavings boiled and rendered in water - a good glue for woodworking in common use until the mid 1970's and still in use to a lesser degree today (disadvantage - not water resistant) (2) A glue made from the swim bladders of fish which was more water resistant than animal glue and equally strong but the ingredients were less readily available in large quantities. (3) A natural hot melt resin glue made from pine resin (or any other sticky tree resin) mixed with charcoal dust - a very strong glue that when set looks more like black plastic than real black plastic does. Used for glueing arrow and spear heads in place from the stone age onwards. Can be made more flexible by mixing in beeswax, though this does reduce the strength of the glue, so controlling the proportions would be critical. (4) Oh yes - and I did forget about the cheese glue!

the thing is...you kind of want your shield to be able to split. just not entirely. but a few inches of splitting from your opponents weapon is VERY ENTICING. they can't use that weapon anymore because it is currently stuck in your shield. a major advantage that the people at the time were 100% aware of.

If they were making plywood specifically for shields they could basically taper the shield outward so it would catch swords but be more resistant to splitting on the inside due to the layers.

@@ICaImI The problem with trapping weapons in this way is that it also very greatly reduces the mobility of the shield. This is not so much of a problem in one-on-one dueling but very rapidly becomes fatal for the user in battle, where the enemy standing next to the one with the trapped weapon now has exactly the easy opening he's been waiting for and sticks his spear straight in your throat. Not recommended if you were hoping for a long and lucrative military career. Shields needed to withstand the battering in battle as much as possible because they were there to keep the user alive, and since the enemy is constantly seeking ways to get around your shield and insert his particular sharp bit of metal into whatever bit of you he can get at, you either move it to intercept blows coming from various opponents all facing you at the same time or you die. There is very little room for niceties in a real battle.
