Making leather belt - blacksmithing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2019
- Forging a belt buckle and cutting a leather belt. No power tools. Open the full video description for more information.
A alternative buckle design.
---------------------------
Materials: Mild steel, cow leather, pine tar and fish oil.
---------------------------
This was the first time I made a belt design like this and need to use it some more before starting to consider improving it - though would I personally in case of a next time consider attaching the buckle with needle and cord or riveting it on instead of cutting into the belt itself and avoid that relative "weak spot".
---------------------------
A few quick questions:
1. What did you add to the steel and leather?
50/50 mixture of pine tar and fish oil/fat. Apples it a few times on the relative hot steel to get the black color and a rust protecting layer. Add it to the leather a few times and let it dry a few hours in between to make it softer and more water resistent.
2. First time I see you use this set up... Is the shop permanent?
No - it is just a temporary set up. I will use it for about two months before moving it to a new location.
3. Why stone on the bellow?
It is a way to adjust the air flow. The more weight/stones you add the more air the forge get.
4. Do you sell?
No.
5. Where did you get the bellow?
Old one I bought in Denmark a few weeks ago and restored (new leather and valves). About 130 years old.
6. Why not make the common buckle design?
No specific reason - I have just wanted for a while to give this alternative design a try.
7. I want to try making one... do you have some advice?
Yes. 1. Make the hook relative long. 2. Make the gab in the hook conical so the leather get jammed tighter and tighter the more you pull in the belt..... If you don't get those two points right will the belt way too easy be able to open random on it's own and be useless as a functional belt. 3. forge thin and small.

I'm a hobbyist blacksmith, woodworker, and bushcrafter. Your work continues to inspire me. Excellent stuff, Rune.
nice how big are your work shops or how many work spaces do you have set up?
Très beau travail

I always make my own belts but I have never made a buckle, the system on yours is something I have never seen. Simple but very decorative and functional.
chris osh I wonder if the design be made is more traditional..
@@foretell6819 I looked it up, the design is Celtic.
@@chrisosh9574 It is actually from viking time. If you one day gone visit Denmark you should go to this place moesgaard museum denmark and see all kind of stuff from viking time :D
Simple? A simple bucket is a square with a pin.
@@everready19373 Try forging a square with a pin, this is simpler.
Always a pleasure to watch these videos. Calm, unhurried, educational needing no narration. Long may they continue, Rune.
This really is the perfect channel for me to watch I mean there is being in the wild,building and blacksmithing
ok so the video just starts with Rune blowing the biggest blower ever into his forge made of stone in the middle of the snowy forest while smiling happily, I mean that is the most viking thing I have seen for a while :D
I was confused at 1st but the more I looked at them the more they made sense interesting I'd like to see a build video of them
@@SpamMusubi308 the blower is basically the traditional European style of forge bellows, a good design that has been around for a long time.

O
I admire anything you do. Behind the camera and infront.
Even though I do not do any blacksmithing and know nothing about what you do, I find it absolutely fascinating how much of a skilled craftsman you are! I just love see how you use your knowledge and skills to created something useful, from a raw source. AND you don't say a word!!! Great work my friend, and THANK you!
Thank you for helping to bring these ancient and essential skills back into the world.
A joy to see a craftsman producing practical and beautiful pieces. Especially impressive in the conditions.
Thank you.
The unfoldment of Your craftsman ship is in a league of its own.
You make great videos and I hope to watch these videos for many years, please if you have filmed for many years such videos because I enjoy.Paul-Slovakia
It's a real pleasure to watch you work Rune. Thank you for not having loud music playing, the sound of the bellows and hammer on steel is music enough. Well done.
You don't want shredding guitars for audio! 😮
Nice to see a video with a blacksmith work again. No matter if it's bushcrafting or forging you have both perfectly under control. Happy to the next video.
Everything you do is magical. Beautiful belt!!!!
Very impressed by the idea of outdoor blacksmithing *in snow*! It must be comfortable working in that condition with the hotness coming from steel. It might even be more productive than doing this in a room.
As always I love your videos. The best part of this one to me is the fact of only using a few tools to create something so intricate yet functional and refined. You sir, have my admiration.
This is art. Art that makes me want to do more with my life. Thank you.
4:43 -- directly mesmerizing, like a living! It looks like a snail! Rune - master gold hands! Thanks for the great video! We look forward to continuing, long versions of the video! ^^
I just can't ever get enough of his videos , if u read my comments i want to say thank you and please can u make them longer i really enjoy watching u work ...and all the other videos like the ones in the wood ..again ty so much ..this is better 4 deprecion then taking any meds ..i love the peace it brings to me...
Rune, you are just incredible. So inspiring. Always smiling. Making the world better place... showing us how you get things done. Cheers. My deep compliments! You are the man!
Absolutely briliant!! Amazing design and I would love one of these! Thank you for another great video!
Rune Maite you're a genius! Again, I will not hide my desire to come to you! Greetings from Russia!
Awesome ! Everything....The tools, the idea, location, photography, no words, the product...Absolute fantasy.
Bertram! What a beautiful set up. Thank you for these gorgeous videos, they always bring me joy and inspiration
One more time, the more nice work at the forest. It is something incredible how you work at the forest and make so beautiful work. Congratlations for that so great belt. Greetings from Spain
Э он с
Лишний раз доказал - дело мастера боится. 👍
Once again proved - the work of the master is afraid.
да,молодец мужик,руки на месте.и мне нравится прикид у него,прям как в средневековье.такая обстановка,инструменты и всякие вещички,как будто видео из далёкого прошлого:)
Одним словом Викинг 😂👍
@@rufushowe3885 , I know you are a very good-natured friend! 👍
Nice to see this old crafts keeps a life
@@V.V.080 Aga mi vikingi krutie :D
I love this type of videos. Seeing you forge and craft things.
While out in wilderness. Showing you can live in peace with the environment.
I'm a woman in the UK feeling unwell so searching through UA-cam and found you. I've never set foot in the wild but have been captivated watching your videos. I really hope you teach your skills to others. Blessings from Wales UK
now that is a beautiful piece of craftmanship Rune, thanks for sharing! :-)
this is the most satisfying and nicest video i've ever seen!
Fascinating and relaxing to watch. Thank you for putting these together. Had a long week, and coming home and watching your vlogs is the best medicine. Thank you.
transmits calm and peace
Wonderful. Very pretty to watch in the snow. I think I may copy this project.
расскажи о себе, сними ролик с хорошей картинкой, свои инструменты, мастерскую, рабочие станки, природу и дом. с закадровым текстом о том как ты живёшь или как решил жить и заниматься таким ремеслом. это будет очень интересно. желательно с переводом)))
First time I see that kind of buckle, amazing!!! Loved all the video, thank you
Man, I can't stop watchin your videos, you're so inspiring. I can't explain how it feels good to not see a anything that it's not handmade. You are the best. Keep smiling and enjoying your life!
Watching this before bed really sets the state of mind.
Dude you are incredible PS the photography is amazing
I just watched this video. Not sure how I missed it. An absolutely beautiful belt. A work of art actually...priceless. I'm sure this will last forever.
rune i start over your video about 4 times if i blink or turn my head away from the video i start it over i pay attention to everything you do i dont want to miss anything if i do its a disrespect to you you are a master craftsman your videos are original masterpieces thanks for the blacksmithing video
Amazing Piece of Art!
There is an antique feeling and it looks tough.
That outdoor forge set up is awesome! It looks so peaceful as you work. Just needs some sort of cover for inclement weather. Thanks for sharing, once again.
Thanks for making these videos Bertram. Makes my day better :)
"yes hello, yes yes, yes ill tell him"
The Germanic iron age called, they want their belt buckle back
супер,не ленивый парень!
Incredible! I'm an artist and travel to go to the large art shows and have seen great artisans. You my friend, are one of the best!
Beautiful beautiful double chambered bellows. Best working ones that I have seen until now on YT. And it is really refreshing and inspiring to see someone as skilled as yourself doing majority of work on simple, non-horn anvil :) Thank you for great inspiration!
Качество материала, а так же содержание, как всегда, на высоте!
Man thats just freaking awesome 😀😬
Rune, thank you for taking the time to make these amazing videos. Such an inspiration.
Nice work!
Regards from Argentina
Wholesome and satisfying to watch. That said, I just go to TK Maxx or something when I need a belt. I'd love to try and make my own one though. That'd be the best belt ever I'm sure.

Ahuevo que si.
Very pretty forest blacksmith. Belt and buckle, great work.
Wonderful design for a belt buckle... Looks like you could make one out of a broken knife blade or any ole piece of scrap you find. Thanks Rune, for showing us a simpler way of life.
Right before I watch this video I was using a forge identical to this. And I was needing a belt buckle like this.
this is a legend belt 😍😍
Pure magic with the forge and all your bush crafting.
Now that's some bushcraft blacksmithing! Minimal equipment and maximal functionality! My favorite bushcraft channel right now, keep up the great work Bertram!
Такие видео заставляют горько жалеть,что не можешь поставить больше 1 лайка.
Rune, what do you do differently when forging out in cold temperatures? The anvil itself must partially quench the working piece, I'm sure cracks and such must happen more easily? As always, you make it seem so easy! Thanks for showing and sharing.
Thanks. I basically just do the same as always - look at the color on the steel and heat it whenever the color tells me it is too cold. Small anvils like this does quickly heat up, though a good idea to preheat it before you start forging. But yes - nether the less does the cold defiantly make you need to heat up the steel a lot more frequently or yes it will crack.
One word, craftsmanship. Very satisfying video, you made my weekend.
Fantastic work. Absolutly awesome belt with buckle. Nice to se a master mastering his craft.
Трудяга! Молодец,мужик!!!👍
At the start of the video I was like "so this is what Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doing nowdays"
Really good work Rune, your videos are always very professional and it never tires me to watch them from the beginning to end. I've been following you since 50K and I hope your first million will come soon
Beautiful AND practical! The forge looks great, too. A pleasure to watch, as always.
Amazing.. how did you learn al these skills? I love the ages when people did have craftmansship. Today people only care about the next iPhone.. thx for youre video's i love too watch. 🙏
Thanks. All the basic information on the website - link in the video description :)
On this episode Rune melts all the snow in the world with his forge.
What an awesome, yet simple and effective belt. I love it!
Really nice. The buckle looks amazing. Unbelievable how delicate your work with a forging hammer can be. Please make more of those videos where you craft clothes or accessories. Those will be amazing souvenirs to talk about when you're old and grey ^^ some day.
Imagine walking through forest and seeing this
Молодец мужик!
Мастеррррррр
Beautiful buckle Rune!! Magic hands as always!!!!

What I like about you videos is that everyone can enjoy it no matter what language you speak nor what race you're from. Just 100 % awesome. 👌 Greetings from the Philippines man.
I have been eagerly waiting for your blacksmithing videos to start up again, this one did not disappoint! Beautiful work sir!
A Viking cannot go raiding if he cannot keep his pants up.
😂😂😂😂
I tried making a leather belt blacksmithing but the belt was too hard to hold with the tongs.
Une forgé en pleine forêt, très original ! Merci Bertram,tu es le meilleur bushcrafteur !
