How to Make a Waterformed Phone Case

Here's a little video I did up on how to make a Waterformed Phone Case. This obviously translates into all sorts of holsters, cases, pouches, so have fun with it. I also did some Viking carving on it because that's what I do.

Be sure to thumbs up if you enjoyed the video, it helps the channel grow! It's hard to make a pattern for something waterformed, so if you guys are interested in this pattern, download knowing it's more of a "guideline" with some art. Hopefully you enjoy this video, managed to get another video out on Tuesday but missed my self imposed deadline by 2.5hrs. I'll be running more polls in the future on what video to do next, so make sure you have Notifications turned ON so you can participate in them whenever they come up. Any ideas for my next video? Let's hear em!

Dark Horse Workshop maybe a helmet?

[@equesdeventusoccasus]

Celtic style key / change pouch. With reinforced keyring strap. Single layer straps made of leather or canvas always tear.

[@craftingoutofscratch2980]

will not you mind when I learn from you? in time I would like to make similar videos you know :), srry my english is bad

[@metisdeer8760]

Loved this video, and I am very strongly enjoying your storytelling series - you're an excellent storyteller, and watching you leatherwork at the same time is equally amazing. If I might suggest... I loved the little viking belt-bag you made - I would love to see a sized-up version for a purse (kinda like a possibles bag, maybe). Keep up the great work!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

@@metisdeer8760 Glad you're enjoying everything. I do plan on making larger bags with patterns very soon .

[@devincanter261]

my grandfather used to own and run a leather shop . i wanted to learn from him but sadly he got sick before i got the chance and he passed a few months ago . but recently ive wanted to jump into leather work more and more

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Everything new is a bit daunting, but you never know until you try. Sorry to hear about your grandfather.

[@Jacob-on5zh]

This channel has officially become my favorite channel

[@dvillebenny1445]

Just a quick tip. You can use your printer to copy your art on to clear transparency plastic copy paper. Saves you having to copy your original design twice and its clear so you can see what's going on under the plastic when your drawing onto your leather. You can use them accouple times or reprint your original art.

[@truedaystar]

Great Video, you got me actually thinking about making one for my phone. I've never done leather but after your video I think I can!!

[@Alagachak]

I've used cardboard&papper for wet molds; tape a couple slices of stiff togheter, compress, cut to object dimenions, tape again; worked great if you don't have woodworking appliances. Fast and easy.

[@nategoalbevazin1387]

I am thoroughly impressed with your videos! Not only are they inspirational, but encouraging and informative! I’m very excited and I have a class of students who are really enjoying leather craft working and being creative!!! Thanks for your videos!

[@prowokator]

Oh damn, that shake the leather to create water technique is really useful! Never thought of it before, cheers!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I've got a few tricks like this up my sleeve.

[@manoloramirez6456]

Wow awesome

[@kumarkunhukelu4553]

Hi. very very creative & highly unique totorial..Aesthetic regards.

[@denasewell]

@1:03 As an alternative to a wood form trace the phone shape onto corrugated cardboard then cut out several stack them and glue them together..it depends on the thickness of the cardboard and how thick the phone is for how many to stack together for me it was 5 layers of cardboard I put modpodge glue over the entire thing because it seals it but I also glued vinyl to both sides waterproof it so I could use the mold again..this works well to mold pockets for leather bags as long as you stack enough layers of elmers glue and cardboard for the right thickness... for those who are not able to cut wood for whatever reason Great tutorial ! I learned so much!Thank you!!!

[@pilvig6546]

That's a great idea. I have no woodworking kit to make forms so I used the silicon cover for my phone, stuffed it with trimmed bits of polystyrene from some packing, then moulded around that.

[@denasewell]

@@pilvig6546 Necessity is the mother of invention! That's a great idea I am gonna try that as well!

[@mistydawn2717]

I love these. I ran across a video of yours a few months back. Then I bought some leather rest is history man. Thank you for the inspiration Your an awesome artist but ill bet you hear that a lot. ✌

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Much appreciated, very happy to find people that have jumped into the craft through a video of mine.

[@ChefRondaE]

Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing to watch!

[@Quigley1200]

Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@rogan_se]

Nice vid. Another great way to get a perfect mould, is to cut a second piece of wood in a U shape, where the inner part of the U is slightly larger (the width of the teather). Place the wet leather over the main phone form, then press the U mould over the main form, compressing the leather around the edge. It makes a perfect shape with minimal fuss (no nails needed). Love your work! Some great art.

[@DanielSantos-tn6vp]

Great work

[@halenray]

short, sweet and useful 👍 haha "before you panic"

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

I enjoy seeing the details of your craftsmanship. thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Another good way to form leather is instead of using nails you could make a “U” out of wood that fits around the form and the leather and clamp it down

[@sophiechristillin8430]

Très joli travail, j'adore.

[@eco.3977]

Nothing makes my day awesome quite like seeing a new video is up 😁 I love watching all your awesome designs come together

[@eastmeetswestleather6029]

WOW cool thank you! I'm trying this tomorrow for sure. One thing I do after knotting off on the inside is burn the ends with a lighter and knife it in the crack

[@RavenVargas27]

Wow a masterpiece outstanding craftsmanship thanks

[@leonelvaides167]

Mr Viking from last life your work is exelentisimo ,i learn a lot from U thanks for the good Viking Teaching .From Leonel from Florida

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Very nice! I’m new to leather work… I’m fairly artsy fartsy so, thought i would give this craft a try… I make lots of stuff with Paracord and other cord types as well… I have a few pieces of leather i found in an old storage box … they are in remarkably good shape so I thought I would try to make a phone case for my iPhone 12 max… I made a couple of bracelets with some of the leather that turned out decent… but I really need a phone case…so, off to KZbin i went to check out some vids…. Like yours quite a bit! Thanks for sharing your craft with the world! God bless you!

[@ditismandy4512]

Well need to say this. I love hearing your voice.. not in a weird way do. Its so calming. ♡

[@laylaalrubaye3877]

Wonderful

[@FranklinQuijote-ev1up]

Love your video brother I’m planning to make like that someday for side project

[@rngkon-tiki5327]

So I just learned some craft and made sheath for knife axe leather man and a haversack from another channel. And now I see you, I guess you’ll be my new teacher cause I’m artistic also and love all that Viking thing u got going on. Anyways liked and subbed thanx for the next step.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Welcome.

[@HubsAlgarveKnives]

I make it the same way,but cut out of wood also a frame to press over the wooden Tel with enough space to press the leather down.Clamp it together and let it dry... Also I do not use water to soak the leather,but Aceton,it dries so much faster,you can keep working on it and do not have to wait so long for the leather to dry.Thank you for showing from Algarveknives,Portugal❤

[@dave5176]

A suggestion. Use tokonole and glass the back of the leather to make it smooth. I didn't think of that before I made my phone case, but you can be sure that I'll do it from now on! Thanks for the great video!

[@LSFprepper]

Would love to see some raven designs, or some runes. Love the work.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

On it.

[@tmy8711]

I second this comment

[@franklinneely3006]

You do some amazing work brother

[@noblessix]

love your videos cant wait till i can afford to get some of the tools and start leather working myself

[@wimm1392]

Thats Art.

Very nice.

Mate you are a master beautiful phone case ...

[@egads2]

Well skilled...lotta work dedicated to it.

[@ascentofarose2001]

Hi from Australia. Thanks for sharing. You’re a true genius

[@zukulentho1903]

Nice job! You are an artist my friend!

[@project86xero]

That's very similar to the design I used for my cell phone case. I wet formed to my phone in a lifeproof case wrapped in plastic wrap with a piece of 7-8 oz leather under it for extra thickness. Although I used a 24 snap coverd with a wide Concho for the flap as well as two metal belt clips. I also used another piece of leather for the backing so the phone isn't rubbing the flesh of the leather all the time. Also I carry it horizontal instead of vertical.

[@maximiliampoggi9053]

excelent video thanks from Chile

[@rondumontier1187]

That,s great stuff. I make molds for just about everything.👌

[@4by4squared88]

Wow, beautiful

[@evelynabston7137]

You are so talented. I love your serpent design.

[@thedude5880]

You need to explain all these little pro tips! Shaking leather and making it wet, instantly transferring art to your work pieces, these techniques are invaluable and yet you wont share hiw to do it!

[@catchagrip.9468]

Amazing!! Thank you for sharing.

[@mkivy]

This was wonderful...I enjoy ur free hand drawings. Such talent!

[@brianswanton1901]

Beautiful work Richard!

[@frankgarcia9350]

Very beautiful project and very helpful video. Thank you.

[@johnkraemer5505]

Very nice work!

[@frankyantosca5012]

A note on wet forming around your iPhone. The various manufacturing companies have a small piece of material that acts as a wick for water. It discolors the more moisture it comes in contact with over time. When they open your phone at the iPhone store to discover the reason your phone is not working and the wick material has turned red, the warranty is void and the repair cost is out of your pocket.

[@maureentuohy9423]

Gorgeous

[@detroit19531]

Great job

[@herminiamcmanus6395]

Nice work.

[@zeta30]

Excelente perfecto muchas felicidades muy bellob

[@heddaacevedo]

I like the snake...it’s a good gift for friends

[@hughroughley3363]

Thankyou for sharing. Is there a reason you use a lacing punch (round holes) instead of using a stitching punch/pricking iron (diamond holes) for your stitching? I believe the pricking iron would give you a much more even finish on your stitches. Once again thanks for the vid.

[@ReneaDooserider]

Love your art. Great video. I love serpents and dragons.

[@sthukthx]

Fantastic work, thanks for sharing

[@Jagenheie117]

dude just want to say youre an awesome lathercrafter and an amazing artist. def making me want to do some projects

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

For sure my thumbs up! 👍👌

[@mmarjisr]

I liked this video except you could have made the flap a little more secure at least I think so

[@magicianone4784]

Great work on that man

[@rhino5419]

You make it look so easy. I know the truth, lol. Beautiful. Good health and stay safe.

Omg that's awesome now I want to make one. I draw and paint all kind of artwork that includes Celtic artwork.

I love it, thank you so mucha!

[@luckyninja6499]

very nice videos

[@StuffUCanMake]

Your work is always unique!!

[@rebeccamiller3248]

It would take time but you could use chipboard like from cerial boxes n stack n glue until correct depth cover in plastic rap. That way your phone is not in danger of being damaged.

[@bobcalgarycanada8582]

Thanks Great Video

[@johnwayne2103]

Awesome! That is so cool!

Dark Horse thanks for the great video. I checked you Amazon store but I could not find the hole punch you used on your stitching line. Can you please share that info. Thanks again.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

If it was the 4 in 1 punch, then look that up if you want to do it. Tandy 4 in 1 punch. I don't use it anymore.

[@KH-xf8nl]

That's great Magnus! Keep up the awesome videos, and congrats on 50,000 subscribers!

Where do you botty your leather? What is the weight of your leather?

com esta bela arte que fizeste o trabalho fica mais enriquecido parabéns

Another great video as always. I was wondering when you were going to continue your armor making series? That is something that I am highly interested in and would love to see more of. a thorough series on how you make the patterns for it how you shape them you know everything.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I'll be shooting an elbow video this weekend I imagine, and will be posting the pattern for my elbows on my etsy before then. Literally working on it right now.

[@MichaelMaysLeatherworks]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop awesome!

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Where did you get the beveling tip? The resist is that supposed to go on before the color? Thanks for the tips.
