Who here loves historically inspired designs? I have a couple more planned, but next I think is my Apocalypse Mask video.

[@VikingMakery]

Historical designs are the best.

[@nullsnaggle5198]

I love em but I have another question...what is the most difficult thing you have ever carved

[@RavenAttwoode]

Apocalypse Mask you say? Tell me more. 😁

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

@@RavenAttwoode I think there's a picture of it in the community tab or on my facebook. But it's completed and released on Patreon this month, but it'll be the next one I do a video for here. Hopefully for Tuesday release.

[@glen1arthur]

@George W. McClintock Me too have been asking/suggesting for awhile but I never seen to get any support from anyone else - I think it would make a great series.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

How about that slick lighting off the top? Daaaaaamn! ;)

[@vikingexperience5089]

Gokstad, Norway. Strange to think that this is from my country... Thank you very much for the video :)

[@LaineyBug2020]

Very nice! I love how those blues and browns work together!

[@roadrunner5175]

Thanks to you, I made a 1year anniversary scrapbook and purse just by following along!

[@harmonygibbs7904]

The blue came out so well. I really like this make, thanks for sharing!

[@RavenAttwoode]

The blue and turquoise really pop in that beautiful brown! Very impressed with this one. ❤️

[@havokvladimirovichstalinov]

If only I had some leather to make this

[@gabryelanderson4473]

Sick build

[@stuartchasevideos]

Another beautiful piece!

[@stingray4540]

Can’t believe I just found your channel. As a Norse/Celtic design leather crafter it was a lonely world for a while in the midst of the popular western style. I seem to be finding more and more artist who focus on period Norse art.

[@JustinNRyneEdwards]

Love it! I think I'm gonna grab that pattern for my daughters!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Great job! Very cool!

[@EricRtheModFather]

Loved the Behind the scenes photos of this project on facebook and instagram

[@deathbright107]

I always pick up new tricks when I watch your videos. I also really like this bag. Very pretty!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm pretty happy with how this came out.

[@gabryelanderson4473]

You should do a gauntlet but just a recommendation

[@rondumontier1187]

Nice. I,m also upgrading some things so I need to ck that tool store out.

[@kakashi-3481]

Bro you are super amazing at what you do! Just stunning!!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I appreciate it, more to come.

[@TheLeathersmithShop]

I LOVE historically inspired leather stuffs. And really diggin this pouch! Just a few tips though, for the tokonole. If you've ever used gum trag, just treat it the same way. Takes very little, which is good cause tokonole isn't cheap, and you can just dip your finger in the jar or use the precision needle tip bottles that are popular for vaping. You can also use japanese edge applicators that have a built in sponge, or refillable markers, though you may have to dilute it a bit.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Thanks for the tips!

[@karlo8093]

That's beautiful! Would like to try doing that one day Thanks!

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

You'd fall in love with Apsulov: End Of Gods. A future viking horror game the dev's put a lot of love in it, a personal favourite part of the game is the art design. If you can't get your hands on the game I suggest watching John Wolfe's LP, hope you enjoy it.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

Cool

[@Consuldude]

Love your work! I tried several ways to burnish my edges. I ended up with sanding the edge slightly, dampen it with water, then i wrap a piece of linen drop cloth ( bought a painters drop cloth at habor freight for 6$ and cut it up) around my wood slicker, burnish the edge and at last i apply bees wax and polish it again. The best edges i ever had. Also i dont use edge paint anymore i just dye the edge with dye in the color i want and then burnish.

[@magpiewench]

Really sharp looking! I've made a test one of these from linen with a wooden handle. I think one of the more useful design features I've seen for some of these is a pleated or bellows side so that it's actually big enough to stick your hand in.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Just seeing this now. That's a good idea

[@digitaIgorilla]

Those blues really pop. I'm sure these would've been made for trading and you'd want them to stand out, catch a person's eye 😉

[@zentzunylaneth5588]

First comment! Your work is amazing 😭😭

[@asailijhijr]

8:09 This moment brought to you by Adidas™.

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

Are you sure the closure bars are leather? That shape looks like it'd be made from wood.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Historically there was no remaining evidence of what this pouch had at the top. I think people guessed it could be similair to a hedeby bag, which has a wood or bone closure up top. I did leather because I wanted it to be easy for people with just leather skills to do. If Iw as to do one again I'd do bone or wood.

[@miloszjakubowski12]

For few years i had a green webbing bag. It served me well and still does but i've been thinking about something new, made of leather. could you make a video about making bigger bags with stronger belts?

[@donnabeem3036]

Have you ever just made your own wild ridiculous pattern thinking that you know it could be in the Viking style but then it turns out something different yeah oops I did that turned out okay turned out good but people had a lot of frowning Expressions on their face when they seen it I like what you're doing that I'm going to try

[@SigneofHorses]

Wondering if the top bits were originally made from wood? I like the thick leather though... Cant wait for the other version!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

There's lots that show wood, some leather, hard to say the actual historical sketch of what was found is fairly rough and it may not even be how it actually went together. I'll be doing a v2 of a different design soon.

[@maxdaviddesigns8525]

Thanks for your hard work. Can you please let me know where you are getting the poly/or bone blade for your swivel knife?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

amzn.to/33chGAS or you can check out my Amazon Storefront www.amazon.com/shop/darkhorseworkshop/

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

See the reason you had the weird line on top, was because you weren't drinking. Lol

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Hahaha

[@BarbarianGod]

8:30 are you avoiding putting resolene on the painted parts?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Nope. It's all acrylics.

[@user-zx8my7ul3o]

💋💋💋😍😘👍

[@gabryelanderson4473]

Nvm I saw you made a guntlet video

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Kinda. I'll do a non rushed one some day for sure.

[@freetaylor72]

Hey, what's the difference in the resolene and the resist

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Rarely is something just called a resislt. Where a resolene is a resist and a finish. It puts a finish on to protect the project, and in doing so is also used as a resist. A resist so you can stain it and wipe off the excess without changing the color of your project. Generally just getting into the cracks / cuts etc.

[@freetaylor72]

Thanks man, keep the videos comming....
