Leather Carving Tutorial - Viking Style

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 6 лют 2017
  • A beginners leather carving tutorial done with Viking style serpent knotwork. This obviously translates easily to celtic knots and is a good first step in learning to tool / carve leather.
    Magnus shows you the tools needed, and takes you through the process from start to finish.
    I've been carving leather for a while, sticking to knotwork for most of my projects, this specific carving will be used on a book cover.
    It's the first video with my new Canon 80d setup, and I'm really enjoying the difference in quality, I hope you do too.
    All the products I used that I could find links to are below. Picking any of them up helps the channel out.

    If you are just seeing this video for the first time, where did it get pushed to you? This video is suddenly skyrocketing for some reason and I’m curious. Thanks!

      I just saw it in my recommended list. I have watched a few videos on how to bind leather books, so that might be why.

      Me too! It almost sounds mechanical. Like the planishing hammer in my metal shop. Very cool! You can tell that his hammering is perfectly even, like a machine! I love this guy's talent, and knack for explaining, without dumbing it down.

    i like that you speed up some of the process, but not ALL of it.. gives a much more realistic impression of how much time it actually takes to get through the process, while not making for an exhaustively long video. :)

    You have a new subscriber. I've been cutting and sewing leather for knife scabbards and other stuff I make as a hobby for years, but just now trying to learn this. I liked that you were clear about the use and care of the tools used. I learned a few things and I'm sure someone just starting out would learn alot! Nice work!

The close-ups of the tooling process is the most informative part for me. Cannot thank you enough!

    VERY nice tutorial and the design is great!
    I was damn good in 7th grade but, haven't done much since! I'm 66 now, so it isn't something I do! I tried some, a few years ago and I guess, like riding a bicycle, it really doesn't go too far away! About 10 minutes and I was right back in the groove!
    BUT, I did teach my daughters how to do it and they did well!
    THANKS for the video!

I've recently made some homemade knives and want to make some leather sheaths for them. I must echo what Terry C. has said. This video is GREAT because you show an excellent view of your work, and more importantly , you EXPLAIN what to do, when, and how to do it. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU

I am just starting out, and the problem is that other videos (even the ones that say they are for beginners), awesome that you already know what a bunch of stuff is, and how to do certain things. I am super excited to start experimenting now that I know what basic tools to get and how to use them!! Thank you!!

I too wish the sped up parts was how fast we could really go!!
