Horn & Leatherworking - Making a Viking Blowing Horn

Bought this big ol' horn a while back and finally got around to making something of it. I was originally gonna make very simple and plain leather straps but decided that was a bit too boring, so I did some more decorative work as well.
Thanks for watching!

I actually really like your non weapon builds. Because with those the process is basically the same, but seeing a unique process to build something I never considered to build before is very interesting. Good job on the horn man :)

[@bluespuke]

WOW! No unnecessary noisy background music, no stupid explanation of how to use a hammer... Just the process. This video is not just like all the other "tutorials". This is beautifull!

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

very nice work mate thanks for sharing

[@FCADurgeshKumar]

Why KZbin not recommend this to me. It's good to see this that someone thinks like me. Awesome video.

[@rogergadley9965]

I have a tip for you. I grew up on my grandfather’s cattle ranch and one day I decided to make a powder horn. I was cutting off the scale and crud with a knife as you did, scraping with the edge of the knife. My grandfather, who grew up in the 1880s back woods northern Pennsylvania and hunted squirrels with a muzzle loading rifle (and a cow horn powder horn), saw what I was doing and said, “Let me show you something.” He broke a thick walled glass bottle (Coke I think) and with a sharp edge began to scrape the horn. The glass was much sharper and harder than the blade of my knife and the broken bottle provided more “blades” if I needed them. The job went a lot faster than if I had continued to use the knife. Grandpa had one final tip. He showed me that I could carve a little cartouche shape in the horn and with an altered bit of sharp glass very carefully shave a window in the cartouche so thin that I could easily see the level of the powder I still had in my horn. There was nothing special about the cartouche shape, it merely provided an artistic defined border and a bit of edge thickening and reinforcement for my semitransparent “window” so I didn’t accidentally poke my hunger through it.

[@barthanes1]

That was some pretty awesome leather carving. Nice job.

[@cleric670]

I was impressed before you even started carving the leather, now you're just showing off :) Amazing work.

This is first time I see your face. You are not so much older then me, I would say, but looks like you are true master in craftsmanship.

[@tomcline5631]

Yeah not surprised the mouthpiece didn't work out. Old French horn and trumpet player and they is all kinds of geometry goin on inside a mouthpiece! When I did one of these I carved the mouthpiece into the horn. Worked like a champ. As I was typing this you were carving it into the horn!

Hey great Job! I'm about to make a similar blowing horn. My priority is as clean a sound as possible and I might carve the mouthpiece right into the horn or buy a french horn mouthpiece to insert into the hold. Do you have any suggestions? What would you differently if you were making another? Thanks!

I bought it lol. Don't worry it's not a modern one but an older danish made spring hammer, It'll fit right in with the channel and will mostly be used for production so I can start selling stuff. Will still be forging knives and whatnot with hand hammer.

It's as stupid as his choice of elder futhark, the most ahistorical runeset for the era. Although judging from your comment you're a bit low on the IQ scale yourself so you probably think it's a great idea.
