Madman! Tom Kolb started one and sold it to Mark Hanna, but it never got finished. Or was it Mark who started it and sold it to Tom? Anyway, ask Mark, I'll be he'd sell it to you if he still has it. Save a ton of work.
Other than that, if you go by the cross-section on my site, MAKE THE EDGE AND RIM THINNER THAN I DID! I carried mine in the Baltimore Greek Independence Day parade a couple weeks ago, and 18 pounds is simply too much! Don't let the wood get more than 3/8" thick anywhere. My bowl is a full inch at the edge, and the rim is about the same (tapering towards the outer edge, though).
And pad the hell out of your greaves!! (Nothing to do with the shield, just trust me...)
Have fun!
