I'm disappointed that you didn't show us how to actually put one on a garment. I'm not good at visualizing how it would work

My friend, i had trouble hearing what kind of wire cutters those were, what was it you said?

Awful instruction video. Needs to be closer. 3/4 of the frame is your table. Your hands are also mostly in the way. Tedious.

I really like your approach to finish up the ends your so right about find things to help of the right sizes it's a real pain sometimes it can be done and as I have taken my journey with this craft it's not the only way to finish it but one of the best when it comes to pokey things it will cover them up quit nicely and looks Kool

nice video! Im missing new videos :( Are you still active as a reenactor?

This is AWESOME JUST MADE ONE FOR my boyfriend

*grunts in satisfaction* This. This is good

Wait a Moment - Didnt you used to do a KZbin Norse ( Everybody always says "viking") Video series?

Wonderful Drumming and Sounds ! Makes Great Mental Imagery! Your Name - Thor's Bear, Iron Foot?

Historically, they would either use leather or they would actually take a wood chip and jam it in the gap. I wonder what would happen if you wrapped a wood chip in leather, epoxied that together, then cover the leather in epoxy and place in the hilt (as you did) I feel like that would be a little overkill, but would forever ensure a tight fit.

Bro what's happened? are you good?

Ragnarǫk is approaching, see you in Walhalla

This worked like a charm. I've got a fixed blade hunting knife with a loose guard where they've peened the end cap on. It's all nice and tight, except the guard. Skived off a couple thin pieces of leather and stuffed them in with a tiny flat head screwdriver, it was perfect. The leather could be compressed from side to side to fit it's counterpart, trimmed flush, and then and any excess was stuffed in to really wedge it in there. That fixed it completely, thanks.

Hello Thorbjorn! I’m an old gal immigrated from Denmark when I was a child. This was always a favorite dish in our danish home (#2 was the delectable frikadeller!). My mother is 91 and she says onions vs no onions in this dish is often dependent on different locales in the country. She never used onions, perhaps because it was food for children. I also noticed you do not put sugar into the dish like I’ve seen in other variations. Is that because you use onions and red apples instead of green apples? I’ve made this dish with green apples and I feel it can often be too tart even with sugar added. This time I’m going to use red apples and onions like you do here! Wish me luck! It’s an easy dish so I shouldn’t need luck but I’ve had trouble with this dish turning out soggy and overly fatty, trying to perfect that bit! Thanks for posting this taste from home! 🇩🇰

i go jogging in chainmail understandable :D

great vid! very useful

YOUR HAIR IS CROOKED ! HA !

Thanks for the tutorial and recipe. I used a pan, rather than a skillet, which led me lose a lot of the bacon grease and scorch the pan a bit. Then, inorder to deglaze the pan, I poured in a little bit of apple cider. After adding the apples and onions I left it cook until they were well cooked and then I gave it a good grind of black pepper. Perhaps due to the cider that I had added it was a bit to liquidy, so I threw in a can of cream of chicken soup. It was delicious and I know that I will be perfecting this recipe going forward.

wool saved many viking lives

looks like a dashiki, sonething id wear

I actually looked on the website they have a cheaper version of these that have the leather toggles I actually never knew about the bone toggles being historically inaccurate thank you for the info sir have a nice day God Bless SKOL !

Add a pinch or two of cinnamon... My family is danish and my grandmother added it

I just watched a video about a guy who bought a sword from armour class, but it bent and won’t go back.

Awesome video man. Miss your content

Do you think that the blade is too thin? Because it almost looks like a Norse Jian from what I’m seeing.

Is the grip too thick to grasp?

Where ti buy one? Thanks a lot

I've a question. In the Western and military reenactor community( particularly the Civil War), we use the terms farb and farbism to descibe reenactorisms. The Civil War community is quite serious and take historical accuracy seriously. Farbs are seriously mocked. If you wear sunglasses, you will get at least one syphilis joke. Does the medieval reenacting community have a similar term?

I have had this...

I like the dimensions on this one. Usually the spectacles are too large or the shape of the helmet to bulbous.

Matt, who would you recommend for a nice viking training sword? I'm looking for a Petersen Type L.

Are you still active in the community? I am looking for a group in the Ottawa area.

Thank you for the video, brother. I had this idea to start but was worried it was dumb. Subscribed!

Dude you need to fry the apples and onions in the leftover bacon fat from the start

I had a few chips in my Katana after using it a couple times. Not as major as the ones in the video but would a wet stone work?

Sharpen your knife!

Kultofathena rocks! Edit: I purchased a butted mail haubergeon- I think the exact same one as you are wearing from kultofathena. High tensile steel wire and inner diameter of 8 mm. Although I was already aware of the risks of butted vs riveted (butted is easily pierced compared to riveted), I think it will serve its purpose as a training piece. Weighs about 25 lbs. right? Good for practicing footwork in and getting a feel for mail as well as learning to care for mail...but yeah not something you'd want for ACTUAL defense. In your opinion though, what is better, flat riveted or round riveted mail? Edit 2: I guess mine isn't the same. Mine is GDFB rather than Lord of Battles but big difference huh? LOL.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but would one not risk concussions without a padded arming cap underneath? Something needs to absorb the shock of a heavy blow to the head... I ordered my nasal spangenhelm purposely large in order to accomodate such padding. Great video though and I feel you about wearing heavy stuff in the summer. Greetings from hot, sunny Arizona!

I know it’s been a few years since you made this, but I just saw it today, and I have to tell you, this was so good. I never considered cooking apples and onions together, and I feel like it had changed my life

Video inutile, non si vede nulla

I don't understand. So you are pointing out how sucky the boots are. But the ones you have look like shit

Back in the day my grandma said that her mom would sew up holy clothes , plush toys, and she will sew buttons back on. Back in the day it was normal to fix things yourself to save money. She taught my mom how to sew when she was younger and my mom would fix me and my sisters clothes and toys growing up. My mother died before she can even teach me how to sew so I'm happy I have the internet, I'm currently learning from watching videos and stuff so I can do the same with my son, even though he's currently 6 months old I'm hoping by the time he is old enough to get holes in his clothes or rip a hole in one of his toys I can fix them for him.

наточи нож позорище

Just become a real viking .I doubt you will live long but at least you can say you did it properly.

Thats awesome, as a guy with a very small crown just about all helmets I get wobble and its extremely uncomfortable. Would love to get a pattern for those pillow liners you make.

AMAZING VIDEO! Do insurance brokers look at you strange when you tell them; "Hi, we're Vikings we swing axes at each other, can I please get some insurance"? Listen to what my viking re-enactor friends had to say about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmmQeYJohLycmpY check it out. :)

Very good video! Helped a lot!

It's good to know you have Viking reanactments in Canada.Just found your channel cause I'm trying to teach myself to sew.I am bad at names,but there's a survival Scottish guy who does research on what the Highlanders carried on their persons,whether for camping,hunting,warfare etc.It is more than interesting to know survival techniques and tools,weapons and so on.Hope you are well,as this "flu" is a very strange one!

There is a wood that WILL not break, even if you beat it with a hammer.

Not Veg tanned or brain tanned. An older method than those was urine tan. It was wide spread in groups that lived in northern areas because of the speed of tanning. If you have ever seen a drawing or picture of an ancient Indian encampment they often had the babies laid on the hides. concentrated urine tans faster and deeper. During the early American period particular the civil war time the loneliest job in town was a tanner. Main ingredient was dog dung and nobody wanted to be around the smell.
