Anyone else interested in etching? Random comment but I think I'm going to shoot a video on how to do some viking style etched bronze or brass pieces. Happy crafting everyone!
Just DO it (in Shia LaBeouf 's voice)
I'm very interested in that. I've been designing a metal in-layed leather corset
Good plan.
Sounds a good idea
Yes please. I do some basic crafting with copper and a softer metal etching sounds fantastic
This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much. I am wrapping my Roman scutum this weekend.
Boom, 1 second. I've never been so quick to get to a dark horse video
Dam i clicked on this fast. i enjoy learning leather working as i have only just begun all the information is wonderful.
Thank you for this video! Your first shield video inspired me to make my own, and I am about to do this same process tomorrow! Unfortunately I couldnt find big rawhide in my area to have a section big enough to go all the way around my shield in one piece so I will have to connect a few pieces so I am glad you covered that part in this video! Thank man and look forward to more videos!
I was searching for a means to get a really good tight stitch. As you said, I found that after the rawhide drys and shrinks into place the stitches loosen. On my shield, the first few stitches were effected a fair bit after the rawhide shrunk. I made wraps for my fingers from scraps of leather and hockey tape to protect them from the sinew while I used the strength required to pull the stitching tight. I used a series clamps to hold the last few completed stitches tight, leapfrogging the clamps (for lack of a better term) while I worked the next stitch and so on. This was the only way I could get the sinew tight enough the first time around so that when the rawhide dried there was no need to tighten the stitching but it was very labor-intensive. The method in this tutorial looks as though it will take more time but less effort. I will definitely try it and weigh the outcome to determine whether time or strength is the better method. Great video, I always learn great tricks and methods from the toolbox in your head.
really good stitching
The way I learned to do it is instead of folding the edge over and running thread through the wood, I fold the edge over a length of cord like piping but the cord ends are spliced together. I stitch one side, then stretch the rawhide over the edge of the shield and let it dry a bit before doing the other side the same way. If you are using natural rope as the sacrificial edge to protect the wood, the rawhide should conform to the ridges in the rope and not slide around. I'm in Tx, so the humidity is constantly changing, so stitching through the wood can cause the rawhide to tear itself out as the wood of the shield as well as the rawhide expands and contracts (often at different rates). I'm not saying "you're doing it wrong". There are several historical methods and this happens to be the one I'm most familiar with. I've seen them tacked, riveted, riveted with a metal band on each side, plaited rawhide lace, but stitched looks the best in my opinion.
I would love to make one myself
Help .. I stitched my son's shield yesterday, and I can't move today! We did not have a full rawhide so we soaked and cut dog chew rolls, don't laugh... No joke about sewing threw the other string thread. I used manicure stylus... And gloves, tape and Band-Aids for my fingers.. It turned out AWESOME, Thank you! He said. "Mom, how did you learn how to do this?"... Me, "I watched a Dark Horse Video!"
I used 500lb Kevlar kite line on that aluminum teardrop I picked up at Gulf Wars, and it’s fucking beast for strength.
If anyone is doing this on a steel/aluminum shield, I highly recommend it. Sinew shreds on the metal.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
That is an epic shield😃👍
Was there a historical reason for the rawhide over rope or is this so you can use it in competition and not jam a wooden edge in your opponent's face?
As I understand it, the rope protects the edge of your shield, because it's easier to replace some frayed rope than to repair a splintered edge. The rawhide protects the rope from friction (just generally getting banged around on the ground and such) and the elements, as well as keeping the rope in place, so it doesn't just slip off your shield. Also probably that other thing you said.
Where did you get that raw hide? I can't find it on the lonsdale leather
I sell rawhide on my website, darkhorseworkshop.com
How far from the edge of the shield do you drill and how far apart are the holes and how big are the holes? Also is there a distance / size that doesn't compromise the strength of the shield ? My biggest concern is inducing a weak area on the edge when I get that this is to reinforce it
I don't have an exact measurement handy. It's on the pattern though. If you look at my original shield video you can probably just print it off and measure it or something ..
How much rawhide did you use for this shield ?
Circumference of the shield + 5" or so times 4.25" Probably in the 90" x 4.25" area
When was the last time you went for a manicure?
Never and it's an ongoing joke on this channel..my hands are a disaster, you don't even want to see my palms from weight training and fighting.
Does not show you how to start the stitch.
Put the needle through the hole with thread on it. Once it's through, you in theory have a single piece of thread running through your project with a needle on both ends. That's it.
