The "Birka" pouch is based on a find from Birka, Sweden, a major viking trade port. The original had several metal pieces, which were actually what was found, as most of the leather had decayed. The shape and clasping method of the pouch were extrapolated from these metal pieces.
My version of the pouch usually includes a tooled flap, because leather tooling is my specialty, and I think it adds beauty and character to the pouch (and makes it unique/individual); However, there are very few examples of tooled leather in the viking age, most of the finds being on sheathes and holy books from Ireland. It's hard to say whether this is because the Irish did more tooling than the Scandinavian vikings, or if more leather survived in Irish settlements because of the acidic bogs present there (which preserve organic material very well). We don't know if any pouches like this would have had tooling on them... but it sure does look nice!
The design book used is Viking and Slavic Ornamental Design, published by Triglav. They're out of stock on Amazon, but you can get them from this Etsy store:

It's a treat to watch you create.
Thank you pretty teacher.
👏👏👏👏
I'm Welshman from S.wales in the United Kingdom i love history especially the Viking era so i like to pass on this brilliant man's name his channel is awesome, his name is "Bjorn Andreas Bull Hansen" he's a author. And yourself I think you're awesome with your leather work i wish i had that skill keep up the brilliant work I love your channel and take care with in this crazy time you have my respect and admire for what you do.🏴👍
Thank you very much Lee, I had a lovely holiday in Wales with my family a few years back. Sadly, being American, I can neither remember nor pronounce any of the places we visited, haha. I'll check out this Bjorn fellow!
Bravo, en plus d'apprendre cela me détend beaucoup de vous voir procéder au travail de cette noble matière qu'est le cuir. Merci pour ce moment.
Merci, j'adore ce type de vidéo relax, c'est pourquoi j'ai eu envie de le faire moi-même et le partager :)
@@FoxesandRavens alors à tres vite pour de nouvelles méditations en votre compagnie!!!
I was pleased to see you did some tooling of the leather. It really aesthetically rounds out the piece. I think it'd be super cool to see a series on recreations/adaptations of historical leatherwork. Subbed. Keep up the good work.
I have a book on viking tooling on leather sheaths (mainly from Dublin) that I would love to work on some day, but I don't really have knives to make sheaths for, haha. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep that in mind!
@@FoxesandRavens Those could definitely be really cool projects. Not having knives could also work out in your favor, though--might be a good excuse to do a collaboration with another youtuber?
Good idea!
Excelente trabajo, me encanta. Saludos desde Argentina!
Salut du Quebec! Merci :)
Love your channel. Outstanding leather work!
That's so sweet Richard, thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Your work is incredible. Instant subscribe. What really blew me away is the videography though. You have approx 47,000 camera angles, all of them perfectly framed, focused and lit, how on earth do you do that and still get anything done? I've tried making craft videos and do you stop to move the camera every 2 stitches and every time you pick up another tool?
Thank you Danny! I do have to move the camera around a lot, and make sure that I'm in the frame even though I can't see in the camera, haha. It's quite a time consuming process, which is why I haven't made any videos in a long time!
@@FoxesandRavens well, it makes videos that are an absolute delight to watch :)
Very nice pouch! You do excellent work. 👍. I make custom order gun leather from 7-9 oz. hides, so I can really appreciate and respect your work! BIG KUDOS!!!
Thanks again for showing me/us your work.
Thanks! It's definitely a tougher material to work with; what was especially challenging about this video is I'm secretly filming two videos at once! The how-to for a pouch kit will come out next week ;)
@@FoxesandRavens Very cool!
(I can patiently wait, not much else going on....lol!)
First of all, great video and project:-)
Secondly, and more importantly.. I would be eternally grateful for more information about that book you got the picture from
Thank you! Yeah, those books are really invaluable, they're by Triglav, they're called "Viking and Slavic Ornamental Design", and there's 4 of them. I have links in another video description to an Etsy where you can get them, they're from Poland so they can be a little hard to find!
I updated the description to include a link to an Etsy store that sells them!
Красивая работа👍
Beautiful! If I may make a friendly suggestion...to dress up the edges a little more, I use tragacanth gum and an edge slicker (Tandy sells both of them). You can get by without the gum by using just water, but the gum does make it a little smoother and makes it easier. Sorry I don’t have any videos of my work uploaded to assist...most of my stuff is just swordplay.
Hey James! Haha, I know about edge slicking products, and I'm mostly just like... not a fan of super slick edges, hahaha. I do it a bit for clients, and especially for garment/costume pieces, but I hate when they're ultra slick and plastic looking (edge paint makes me cringe!!!). I think maybe I forgot to film the edge slicking part in this video, but I do it with water usually, I find if you buff it right it gets quite a smooth edge, and then I go over with beeswax balm.
Not to sound creepy, but I love finding videos of beautiful women with great skill making stuff with thier hands, wether it be knives, pottery or leather, I learn so much because I pay more attention AND they seem to be more skillful as they rely less on strength more on technique. Great work, you've got a new subscriber and I'll go through your catalogue of videos in the next few days ave watch anything new that comes out. Bravo

Thank you! I also like watching videos of skilled women, haha, Liziqi is one of my absolute favorite channels (she's soooo amazing and strong and knows how to do so much stuff it's insane). I don't know of any women doing leatherworking videos (yet!) so I'm happy to fill that niche :) I sadly don't have many videos like this one yet, but I hope to make more!
Foxes and Ravens lots of Korean women doing videos.
Excellent!!! 👍 🙏
Thank you!
I recognize that cute little leather sewing machine. I have the same one.
It was really cheap, and can sew through anything! I'd like to attach a pedal or motor to it though, so I can use both hands to direct the leather. Also I need to oil it more >.
@@FoxesandRavens I actually ripped mine apart and put in a light grease. It helped a ton. I'm also about to tap holes for a longer handle - I prefer the extra leverage like you. Maybe I'll send some pictures.
Absolutely! Any advice you have about using this--ahem--infernal machine would be appreciated. I've tried using it for a few projects, but I can't really do any production with it because I can't get it to work consistently >.< there's a lot of videos about it, but I find them somewhat tedious :/
I noticed that you didn't bother to finish the edges... It lends itself to a very rustic, old world look... I do leatherwork as well... Mostly as a hobby, mind you... If you ever wish to, please visit my Facebook page, under Jim Hawke... I post a lot of my works on there... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity with us... Sláinte
I know, it took me ages to film everything, and I was just so excited to edit and post, that I forgot to show the final steps of conditioning and burnishing! But I actually do usually burnish the edges a little, with the help of an oil and beeswax leather conditioner like Aussie.
wow beau travail :)
Merci!
Where did you get that little hook blade knife for cutting leather, looks to be perfect for cutting out the corners.
Yeah it's fun, although to be honest, I think a regular #11 x-acto or hobby knife or whatever you know it as does the job just as well and is less expensive to replace the blade. Here's a similar one that Tandy offer: tandyleather.ca/products/tandypro-tools-precision-knife But these days I use a knife more like this one: tandyleather.ca/products/tandypro-r-japanese-style-flat-knife
i really want to get into leather working... i have to find the tools i need
The Tandy is a great place to look for beginners kits, although my friends have gone for Amazon or eBay. Depends on your budget! To begin, I recommend an x-acto knife, a medium size edge beveler, a hole punch (or punches), waxed thread and needles. And of course, a cutting mat or surface you can cut on (I've used wooden cutting boards when desperate, haha)
Love your work. Could you please statenthe name of the pattern book you use on this clip? It looks great.
Hey Linda, sorry for the late reply, this pattern is my own pattern, the Birka Viking Pouch on my website: foxesandravens.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/birka-viking-pouch-pattern
Oh sorry, you meant THE OTHER kind of pattern, it's the Triglav Viking and Slavic Ornamental Designs (there are 3-4 volumes). You can find them on Etsy!
Belle présentation artistique!HoT!Hot!Hot!
