VIKING antler Comb DIY | Viking Tutorial - Viking Crafts (Ep. 2)

In this video I am showing you the process of making a reproduction of an antler comb from Viking age Haithabu. This time I welcome you into my small workshop and the video is filmed in modern surroundings. The next step will be to make a reproduction of a comb using only Viking age tools and workshop facilities. I suppose there is different ways to construct such a comb and this video will show you my way. This is the second comb I have made so I am sure I will get better and learn new ways and tricks as I go.
If you have any questions please let me know below and I will happily answer. I hope you will feel inspired to make your own comb.
The music in this video is all recorded by me playing various stringed instruments. Sadly the guitar part in the end didn't have good sound quality (I didn't plug the cable all the way in) so I had to dub it with an old recording. I recently found an old hard drive with old recordings mostly instrumental that I might use in these crafts videos from my modern workshop.
Recording gear:
2x Huawei p30 Lite mobile phones fitted with Boye shotgun mics.
Normal tripod and gorillapod
Canon Eos 1100d for closeup
Editing on iMac with Filmora

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Thank you:) i will continue i promise. I made the wax myself. Just Melting beeswax with powedered charcoals or wood ashes. I have since found that resin glue like i make in a more recent video works Better as it keeps hard better than wax

[@vidarr5328]

Hi nice video, do you know how to make the ruder Knot for a small viking boat, can you make a video for it please

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Hello. Thank you. I am not sure what a ruder knot is. Can you help me?

[@FURNITUREPENDULUM-pu4dk]

@@RAMUNI-Viking Many thanks for your interest, the Viking Ships have a side Rudder, (Båt ror)in the small boats the boat Rudder is fastened with a terminal Knot made with the rope, it is a Simple Overhand Knot but made in a special round way that makes it bigger can you make a demonstration of it please, it is like a terminal Takle knot but made with only one strand it is very special and rare in this modern days, because aparently there is no book that has this knot explained. Many thanks best wishes

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

@@FURNITUREPENDULUM-pu4dk Ah thank you. I know what you mean now. But sadly i dont know how to do that, so i am not able to help you. I will keep you in mind if I stumble upon information about how to make that knot.

[@FURNITUREPENDULUM-pu4dk]

@@RAMUNI-Viking Many thanks hope you find it that knot is the Viking Knot and no one can do it anymore lets revive the art!!!

@@RAMUNI-Viking No problem. Keep it up

[@MissGroves]

I've just been given a piece of roe deer antler, I'm hoping that there is enough white material for me to make a comb like this. Thank you for your video, it was very helpful

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Thank you. I hope you Will make a great comb and I would love to see the result. If there is not enough antler just make a smaller scale comb. Good luck:)

[@MissGroves]

@@RAMUNI-Viking hi, I will report back in for certain!

[@BerserkerGang2019]

I love viking artifacts. Nice Workshop. I enjoy seeing you make nice things. What book is that you have there?

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Thank you my friend. The books is called Spurensuche Haithatbu (searching for traces in Haithabu) - complete overview of all items excavated in the city complex of Haithabu (Hedeby) in North Germany (danish in Viking age) - great resscource. Its only in German though and im not that good at reading or speaking German, but the images and pictures of the items is worth it

[@kyuubinokitsune4270]

@@RAMUNI-Viking Thank you. I was curious too. 😊

[@matrox]

Then the vikings would stick them in their back pockets and break them.😩

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

No, there Are several finds of little intricate leather pouches that would have protected the combs

[@BerserkerGang2019]

Fantastic!! Do you know where I can find this book? 🤗🖤

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Its availible from amazon.de if you type Spurensuche Haithabu. Few left in stock. Maybe there a closer place depending on where you Are based. Its only printed in German though but I know english version is highly asked for and on the way

[@tombrown879]

What a great project. I loved that you remembered to make the teeth with the grain of the antler, very smart. awesome camera work and editing. I will have to look for a copy of that book. Thank you for a very enjoyable trip into your workshop.

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Thank you for taking the time to comment:) im happy to hear you enjoyed the video and the work. The books is in German but I know a few english copies has been issued but I think they Are hard to get. I might be able to get you in touch with someone Who has a stack of the english version:)

@@RAMUNI-Viking yes please do send me a link. My German is not as good as it was in high school. So an English copy would be great.

thank you for such a thorough guide! now if only i had a way to get hold of some precut material... hard to process it living in the city

[@RAMUNI-Viking]

Thank you. Some reenactment shops online or leather suppliers might have that

[@facelessdrone]

Tools can be rented anywhere you live, especailly in cities there are many "maker spaces" all over the world in most cities that you can in, make your thing, and leave granted you supply the material you're processing
