13:23 model/miniature makers also have this problem with finishes dulling their contrast and highlights. The glossier, the worse it is usually. Try using a more matt finish than gloss, and also make the highlights much brighter/more contrasting than you would normally think to do before applying the finish… as always experimenting on scraps before committing like we all have done before 😂 Cool vid, love the knotwork.
Something a little more simple for once, some hairsliders inspired by Mothers Day being right around the corner. Anyone have any other ideas like this? I'm sure some of you guys can figure out how to wear it as armor. ;)
Thank you watching you do that made me feel like getting in to it .I have had all the tools for a long time .nut I was a grade to mess it up .but I think sence I found you videos .I think I will do this .
Wonderful project and great timing. My running club is doing a viking themed campout this weekend and I've been trying to think of a gift for the organizer, this is perfect! I just finished making one with a "Viking-ized" version of our club logo. Thanks for the video and the inspiration!
We do these here in Ireland, with the celtic knot design , they are a brilliant gift for the ladies, try looking in the book of Kells for ideas in relation to really old celtic designs, there are some amazing animals and design, great work man, i love this kind of stuff
Very impressive! Im a noob to this but thank you greatly for sharing your knowledge and great skill with us! Have a great week and I am going to try this project☺
I like that orange fall leaf. I recently bought a western oil canvas duster and since I bought it I have been thinking since the shoulder cape is removable it might be cool to have a couple with various designs on it. Doing up a bunch of leaves up like the ones you did and using that would make for a rather interesting option.
A really cool simple project, a very nice idea. The leaf in particular was very interesting. A very interesting small project for people not too comfortable with either carving or just working the leather in general.
I've never played with leather crafting and don't know if I ever will, but ever since I found your page I can't help but watch. Your craftsmanship is beautiful, and videos are so well done it makes me feel like I could make a set of leather armour!
I like using a small seeder as a background, with a little practice it goes fairly quickly and gives a good look. It also allows for getting into those really tight spots.
Yndig! So beautiful! So much skill, time and hard work went into this yet, you made it look easy. You've inspired me - I'll give it a go once my current projects are finished. Got me hooked, first time viewer and new subscriber!
Great looking nice work. I have made some feathers and Oak leaf with 7-9 oz and got them good and wet from both sides. Twist them whole they are wet then let dry. They turned out really nice and hold that shape. Thank you.
The trick is, it's the Ronin armor and it was very brief. So I will most likely be doing a Hawkeye build from later in Endgame. His greaves, bracers, etc. Probably fairly soon.
Hey Magnus! Just got around to watching this one. This type of thing is actually some of the first projects I've done. Yours look great! Just some more ideas that worked for me- on leaves, try a double beveller in the veins. Looks nice if you use a pear shader in some places to push in shapes too. For the sticks I used the really heavy bamboo skewers, and once cut to length, sharpened the ends in a pencil sharpener. Then just sand it smooth. I do Celtic knotwork too, and if you're up to trying more, you can learn simpler ways to get basic shapes with a laid out framework of dots and breaklines. Then it almost does itself. Of course, you'd still have to do the embellishing parts free hand. Keeping it creative! Thanks for the awesome videos.
Oh, and I don't know if you have ever used any vegetan belly- but don't for these. Too stretchy and the shape gets wonky since there's no structure to the piece to hold it firm. But you probably knew that. ;)
Beautiful! I love the art. Personally, I wouldn't dye the background part black though. All that work tooling it and it then you can't see it because the color is so dark. But I love the designs and especially that brown leaf.
Hey man it would be awesome if you could make a storefront on the Canadian Amazon site! Ordering stuff off the .com site to Canada isn't always possible.
Always strop the blade! Disposable blades too. You’ll get YEARS out of blade and its never dull. I still have my cheap chinese skiving knife and its deadly sharp 2 years later. I strop it every day I use it. The blade edge is a mirror. Also theres a difference between honing, polishing and sharpening. Learn when to apply them to always keep your blades sharp. Great video ! 👍
Hey Magnus, If i wanted to start with leather carving like yours, what are the absolute beginner tools you would recommend? Maybe not super expensive, so we can see first if we like leather working in general. Thank you very much and please keep up the good work. Your videos are always super calming and amazing to watch!
Hi! Great Project. I have a ceramic blade and it's dull, came that way. How does one sharpen a ceramic blade, I can't find any info on it, anywhere!!! I have no problem sharpening my other leatherwork knives, this ceramic one is driving me nuts!! Help!!
Try a diamond stone and/or charging a leather strop with diamond honing paste. Lee Valley (woodworking supply catalog) stocks diamond stones and honing paste if you don't know where to find it. Note: I've not done this with a ceramic blade but there's no reason it shouldn't work since the diamonds will be harder than the blade.
i just got an order of leather in to make some of these last week and im thinking it might be to light of a weight its 3-4 ounce.do you think i can still use this or do i need to get 5-6 ounce
Where would you say is a decent place to get leather from? I live in Adelaide in Australia and finding it hard to find leather. Also what leather do you usually use?
I'm going back through old questions. Ceramic in theory doesn't really need sharpening. I buff it up a bit with rouge anyways to kind of polish it, but I've always found it a much nicer / smoother cut.
How can you tell what ounce your leather is if you're not buying it from a supplier? I've got tons of scraps (just bought more, in fact) but I think everything I have would be too thin.
I don't do anything Christian specifically, sorry. But you can always incorporate those kinds of designs into my patterns. I have limited drawing skills. :)
First and foremost, great video (as always) and thank you for all the work, patterns, and help you have provided to the leatherworking and crafting community. I realize that this video is a couple years old and merchandise changes with cost and creativity. But do any of your shirts still have the writing on the back? I wanted to but a couple for some of my friends that I served with during my time in the military. Sorry for the lengthy post and I appreciate your time.
I got on it right away for you. So this has the original front and back from my OG design. I had changed the front a bit but I figured if I was doing this shirt I should do it justice by keeping the same images exactly. darkhorseworkshop.com/collections/t-shirts/products/serpent-vulknut-epic-words
When I put on ma leather, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
❤ great ideas for my club. Thank you.
My wife was just talking to me yesterday about making her something like that. Now I’m motivated to get to work on one. Thanx!
How'd it turn out?
DethSonik , I haven’t started it yet. Waiting for my wife to come up with the design she wants. Thanx for asking.
Poorboy Trapper did it turn out well?
I love the Jörmungandr one
The green one is the prettiest!
Soooo muuuuch info on leather crafting on RUclips! Thanks for the video!
Glad to have you watching. Enjoy!
i made a few of these for a few birthdays and got a few oohs which ive never gotten. thanks man. ya helped me find my craft

Cool vid, love the knotwork.
This looks like a nice project to start with leather carving. I think I will try this.
The leaf armor idea is great it would be even better with matching bracers and helmet
Very true.
I love these simple quick projects, they're fantastic ideas for quick practices! plus they look fantastic
Something a little more simple for once, some hairsliders inspired by Mothers Day being right around the corner. Anyone have any other ideas like this?
I'm sure some of you guys can figure out how to wear it as armor. ;)
cloak pins maybe( use it to pin your cloak to your breastplate straps😊 I love that this is quite versital if you think about it!
@@helenhodge-croom9635 I think that is an great idea.
Cloak pins are good. I did a maple leaf and put a kilt pin on the back. Worked great.
In many cultures hair pins are a form of weapon that were commonly carried by both male and female aristocrats
Hi ! I'd like to know how long the sticks are please ? Your work is so motivating !
Thank you watching you do that made me feel like getting in to it .I have had all the tools for a long time
.nut I was a grade to mess it up .but I think sence I found you videos .I think I will do this .
Literally been looking for something like this for over four years
i was actually thinking of making barette for my mom but i didnt want a boring design,now that ive seen this im definitely making one. thanks
I really enjoyed watching you work. And don't worry about talking too much. You have a very nice voice to listen to. Very nicely done.
Beautiful! I love the leaves
I like how you do every work so good and explain every part
Thanks 🖤

LOVE it!!!

Awesome shirt design!
I like them all, but that green is just popping.
*waits patiently by the Etsy shop for design*. These are gorgeous!

My Granddaughters are gonna love these. Now I need something for the Aethelings.
A really cool simple project, a very nice idea. The leaf in particular was very interesting. A very interesting small project for people not too comfortable with either carving or just working the leather in general.
lovely, very skilful you make it look easy
That's actually the workflow of logo design. Hand sketches first so you can iterate really fast and then refine it in vector format. Great Work man!
Excellent instruction. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing. I am following your instructions and I’m letting the dye dry for now. Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks
Just found your channel, not a leather worker myself but i really enjoy watching the amazing skill and styles of others. Really good work!
All your projects are amazing.
I'am going to try this.
I've never played with leather crafting and don't know if I ever will, but ever since I found your page I can't help but watch. Your craftsmanship is beautiful, and videos are so well done it makes me feel like I could make a set of leather armour!
he really seems to love his craft
Yep zoning out watching you carve some knot work...both informative and relaxing.
I like using a small seeder as a background, with a little practice it goes fairly quickly and gives a good look. It also allows for getting into those really tight spots.
Beautiful work
These are gorgeous
Those are beautiful, thanks for the tutorial!
I'm glad you like them, thanks for watching.
You are the man. I love your work. I am going to try tanning my own leather soon and i aspire to get as talented as you are. Awesome
I absolutely strop my swivel blade and it’s ceramic. The difference was night and day for me, from a slight gripping/slipping to a smooth glide.
You always make something cool but 3 is even better.
Nicely done 👍
thank you. Loved the knot work and leaves.
Nice little KISS principal item.
Yndig! So beautiful! So much skill, time and hard work went into this yet, you made it look easy. You've inspired me - I'll give it a go once my current projects are finished. Got me hooked, first time viewer and new subscriber!
i would really like to see a shoulder piece made. that would be totally awesome
Nice to see some more non-armor that can be gifted, but have you done matching demi-gauntlets for your vambraces/elbows.
On the list
Thank you very much!🌸💕🌸👍😄
You're very welcome. :)
Great looking nice work. I have made some feathers and Oak leaf with 7-9 oz and got them good and wet from both sides. Twist them whole they are wet then let dry. They turned out really nice and hold that shape. Thank you.
Can you plzzz make a part 2 on the hawkeye armor??
The trick is, it's the Ronin armor and it was very brief. So I will most likely be doing a Hawkeye build from later in Endgame. His greaves, bracers, etc. Probably fairly soon.
Just found your channel, subbed, I really want to try this 👍
Love this video. Great work as usual. Could you please make a list of your drawing tools that you use and where to get them.
I love your drawings
Another great video. Thanks man!
Beautiful! I love especially loved the orange leaf!

I don't have Resolene, can I use Tan Kote?
Beautiful! I love the art. Personally, I wouldn't dye the background part black though. All that work tooling it and it then you can't see it because the color is so dark. But I love the designs and especially that brown leaf.
Perfet work.
What is the exact name of the leather and where can i buy it
Do you wet the leather before beveling it?
Fantastic tutorial. thank you.. What weight/thickness leather are you using?
Cancel that, just rewatched it...6oz :)
as always i love your work, i follow you very happy, and i think i gonna buy those patterns
@13:50 Here we examine the Leaf Kebab, a very wholesome and nutritious diet for the shipwrecked Adventurer! Or weird people who eat leather.
Can i used paint to it?
This is amazing, keep up the good work!
Bravo!
I realy wish to get one from this 😍😍
How large are your sketches?? I want to make some
They're as large as I choose them to be for the project.
What dimensions are you working with on the leather pieces?
Hey man it would be awesome if you could make a storefront on the Canadian Amazon site! Ordering stuff off the .com site to Canada isn't always possible.

Hey Magnus,
If i wanted to start with leather carving like yours, what are the absolute beginner tools you would recommend? Maybe not super expensive, so we can see first if we like leather working in general. Thank you very much and please keep up the good work. Your videos are always super calming and amazing to watch!
My first projekts I made whit hexagon skrews and Torx skrewsdriver
How do you convert the hand drawing to a digital file and get the lines all cleaned up?
Photoshop then illustrator and back

Where would you say is a decent place to get leather from? I live in Adelaide in Australia and finding it hard to find leather.
Also what leather do you usually use?
www.lonsdaleleather.com/
what weight of leather do you recommend?
Fairly light for these. 4oz or so
Hope someone can answer here. What's pros and cons of a ceramic vs metal metal swivel?
I'm going back through old questions. Ceramic in theory doesn't really need sharpening. I buff it up a bit with rouge anyways to kind of polish it, but I've always found it a much nicer / smoother cut.
How can you tell what ounce your leather is if you're not buying it from a supplier? I've got tons of scraps (just bought more, in fact) but I think everything I have would be too thin.
You can measure the thickness and look up a conversion table from millimeters to ounces.
What background tool is that?
Should be a list on my Amazon storefront. I don't have many backgrounders listed since I don't use many.
Хорошо делает молодец
I'm also into leather craft , would like to see more Christian type patterns!🙏
I don't do anything Christian specifically, sorry. But you can always incorporate those kinds of designs into my patterns. I have limited drawing skills. :)
I use to make these for friends in school years ago, I'm now 63
First and foremost, great video (as always) and thank you for all the work, patterns, and help you have provided to the leatherworking and crafting community.

I could do some up for sure, give me a shout info@darkhorseworkshop.com to remind me and I'll get them done. Been meaning to anyways.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop Awesome! Thank you so very much! I will email you in the next day or so. Again, thank you!

Just came across your channel, this is such a cool idea! Have you ever designed shields? I subbed, liked and shared
Every swivel blade I find just cuts a fine line. Yours seems to make a wider line. I must be doing something wrong.
Moisture, pressure, and blade type
When I put on ma leather, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
Why would you dye the back? After use the backs turn shiny and smooth. I don’t want the dye on my hair, personally.
You are totally welcome to not dye the back. :)
I really like the leaf's allot that's more towards my style I'm going fore.
wow, your skill so good ..sub
Huh..... you can make pretty stuff too..? Interesting a man of many styles
that's what I need ,rather make it
Just before you mentioned elven armor, I was thinking of leaf armor like the failed body armor called dragon skin.
