Make a Viking Drinking Horn Mug

Today I make a Viking drinking horn mug! Grab a horn and follow along!
I love the look of a Viking drinking horn. I only recently saw the mug version of a drinking horn with a handle and NEEDED to make my own. See how I did it and maybe give it a shot yourself!

Great video! FYI Instead of using a wood plug, cover the end with plastic wrap and cover with masking tape. Then pour 1.5-2 oz of food grade epoxy into the base while it is sitting flat on a table. let it set, pull off the plastic wrap and your done! You can also coat the inside of the horn with the epoxy if you want to use it for hot liquids. Beeswax doesn't taste good with coffee!

[@MsDezmont]

That's less authentic. Also who the hell drinks coffee from horns? 😅

[@RickStewart1776]

While I was in Belize in '92, I saw an old man sitting on the ground next to a fire. The fire was about 2 feet from the highway into Belize City just outside of Ladyville. A couple days later he was there again and and there were several people around him. I finally stopped to see what he was doing. He had a big pile of horns and was making all sorts of crafts. He made dolphins, sharks, birds, and boats. He would put his hand in the horn and put the horn in the fire; he said once his hand got hot, he horn was hot enough to bend. His palms were like elephant skin. He would bend and twist the horns into the most amazing crafts.

Great Video, I have a nephew who is a butcher, My shop may have a plethora of these mugs in the near future.. Gracias Hermano

[@SkillTree]

Lol, start a small mug business! With the right setup, you could bust one of these out in an hour or so.

Very nice project. Man I thought the horn was going to crack when you bent the handle. Still love how animated you are. Keep going my friend.

I love that your videos always inspire me to get all kinds of dungeon crafty! Also, love the nails! A good way for a druid or rogue to keep their spells handy 😉

[@SkillTree]

Thanks! I LOVE that idea. Like, the way my wizard prepares their spells in the morning is to do their nails up with arcane symbols. So cool.

I just wanted to say this was an awesome video I really enjoyed it and I replaced my modern mugs with DIY horn mugs.😍

Honestly though that was going to be way harder but it looked simpleish to do, loved how you made the horn into the handle as well, the whole piece is stunning

@skill tree I just did a build inspired by your beer stein. It came out great. I'm now addicted to your Channel... I'm working on building the leather tunic/ clothes that you did for your Druid, and the Assassins cloak. Congrats. You've broken me. :)

Almost done with my Viking Horn Cup and a holder for it to sit nicely on a table. I am using food grade epoxy though for mine. Maybe next horn I purchase I might try the mug. Of course that would mean buying a heat gun since I don’t have that at the moment either.

Don't use bread yeast. All you get is small beer. Get wine yeast from Amazon or somesuch. Otherwise, its remarkably easy for a beginner.

How long has it been on the list sir? I will continue until there is a check mark next to that one on the list

[@theartsypixie2771]

Dang it! Just remembered I wanted to see if my Tandys had horns when I went there today. I got too wrapped up in the tool sale.

[@theartsypixie2771]

Ok, is it a bad thing that I knew that was Chaucers Mead without seeing the label? It is my favorite brand when I'm in the mood for a nice clean, not too syrupy mead. 😊

[@porkchopulator]

I'd love to make one of these, but if I acquired another horn mug my wife would strangle me to death. Then she'd give me cpr so that she could strangle me to death once again. Groenfell meadery (probably spelled incorrectly) has some amazing meads. I normally get Dansk Mjød because it's more accessible to me. Their Viking Blod is amazing and Odin's Skull is great for the holidays because it's very festive tasting. Sour apple juice, hops, and cinnamon.

[@SkillTree]

But you would have pleanty to drink with in Valhalla 🤣🤣🤣

[@porkchopulator]

@@SkillTree very true!

[@aaronlittle5478]

I was gonna ask if he had Viking Blod in there. Excellent mead.

[@KarlRoyale]

I can personally attest to the fact that Odin's Skull is a great Mead.

[@Struthio_Camelus]

350 degrees? No problem! Dutch oven and a high smoke point oil. (Maybe what they use in a turkey fryer.)

[@SkillTree]

Lol, just BE CAREFUL. Hot oil in large amounts is scary stuff😅

Thanks! So, looking at my analytics, li looks like MOST people actually leave during the intro. I was testing to see if dropping it shows any noticeable change in that dip. SCIENCE!

[@Struthio_Camelus]

@@SkillTree Is it true that most people leave during the intro (and only we loyal few, we band of... monkeys remain), or just is it that the majority of those who leave do so during the intro? (And the majority of those who see the intro stick around?)

What do you think i can make the " handle making process " if i boiling it up the horn in water ?

I looked this up for you. It seems that it is possible to use water but you need to let it boil for several hours. Another way is to put it in the oven, or so I have read.

[@your_local_commun1655]

Towel and put it in the oven just dont turn it on and let it dry for about an hour I know it's been 4 months since you asked this and your probably done but if you do it again theres a good way or you could put it in your backyard for an hour or so (should also work with just a towel)👍

I had some issues with getting the wax to be smooth inside. It would bubble up and harden, or drip and dry in drip shape. Any advice?

Sure! Your heat gun or torch can help. Just re-heat the wax a bit and let it smooth itself out😁

Tandy Leather! They sell ones that are cleaned and ready to be worked😁

[@JnJShiffler]

So I bought a horn mug at the PA Ren Faire last year. It supposedly has some food safe resin inside. It started leaking at the bottom a couple weeks back and the sellers could only tell me food grade resin was used. I sealed my daughters copper mug (which might be some small planter actually she got at a thrift store) with our own beeswax (I'm a hobbyist beekeeper) Do you know much about sealing these mugs with food safe resins? I figure if I melt beeswax inside it'll never take the resin after but the seller can't tell me what resin was used. Thoughts?
