When you know how to do it, you should make a video on how to do this drinking horn like the olden times when no sandpaper, dremmel tools and Scotch tapes and gun brush was available. It would be a really cool video!
I'm looking for a way to make a simple cow's horn drinking cup. Some years ago I went to an antique store and found simple drinking cups that were flat on the bottom and no bigger than 8"or smaller, but all of them were out of cow horn, without embellishments..... and they were ( mostly ) dark in color.
Skál I appreciate the video, but I don’t use power tools when I carve. I’m getting my neighbors daughter into making them and was looking for a video to show her. I just got her a scribe for her birthday. Her dad and I have a carpentry business
I was told that you would not be able to drink anything hot out of the horn if you only seal it with wax...is there another way to seal the inside that would make it safe to use with both hot and cold liquid? Thank you
If you can get some food grade epoxy that might work for hot stuff. check the label for any heat or cold limitations. The horn will get very hot if you are drinking hot liquids from it. Possible too hot to hold. I only drink mead, beer and water out of mine so bee wax is perfect.
Tandy has some but I would only buy on site the ones I can hand pick, ren fairs usually have some great ones but they are pricey and crazy crow online has good prices and good horns but can be hit and miss sometimes. Horns for me are a target of opportunity. I buy them when I find them and I'll have them when I need them.
There is no real way to tell. It depends highly on the length of the horn, the girth, the thickness of the horn walls, and how much of the tip is solid. To be safe go bigger and cut it down to size when you shape the rim. Hope that helps.
@@kaharukevin drying is interesting. Boiling works but the time depends on the horn. Have you ever seen the trick where you microwave a potato and stick it on a rooster's spur, then pull the spur off....look it up, it works like that.
You can get it at most craft stores like Michael's and hobby lobby. And also at some whole food and herbal stores. Probably score a brick on Amazon also. Mine came from my beehive.
Nice work. But anyone working with horn or antlers like this please wear a mask. That dust you breath in stays with you for life. I had a friend die from this because it essentially filled his lungs with glue.
Hey Dave! Thanks for the video! I ordered two horns off Ebay to make powder horns out of, and the inside were scuzzier than the outside! Did yours come already clean, or did you hog it out yourself? Thanks, and Semper Fi! Mike
Usually mine are pretty clean when I get them but you can buff out the insides with a few different sizes of "cylinder ball hones" in a cordless drill.
hi dave the norseman, super video thanks! But how to you seal the inside? I cant see the buttom of my horn and the sides are not very smooth. So there might be some nasty things down there ..
By the way, I finde that a nice sharp cardscraper does a super job, taking off hi spots, and leave an almost perfect surface, not mutch fine sanding needed.

Thanks for the video! It helped with my first go at a horn cup
Very cool video. I’m gonna see if I can make one, I don’t drink anymore but it’d be a great wall hanger.
That it would man.
What a fun Video Gunny !! Well done as usual .
Thank you brother. Hurry up here and help me drink all this damn mead. I'm drowning in it.
At 4:39 I noticed your fire steel mjolnir necklace. Nice dude!!
Thanks man, I made it and I sell a couple handmade versions on my website. www.survivalhardwarellc.com
Hail the High Ones!
Skåll! Takk for at du deler denne gode videoen!
Subb’d after seeing you slam that mead like a true vikingr! Skald!
Awesome, Never short of mead in this house. I run batches back to back.
That is an awesome video. keep up the great videos Norseman.
Thanks brother.
Following along as I make my own brother!!!

I know how to do it traditionally. I just chose not to for the sake of time. I can maybe go down that road in the future. Thanks for watching.
Great job love it
Thanks Jordan
That was badass, Norseman. Skål.
Thank you Skål.
Awesome video, I just got a drinking horn just need to seal the inside.
Name of the songs everyone??
Would have been nice to have included a link to source the horns
I definitely would have if I had a good link. seems most places are hit and miss and my old sources have all dried up.
This is awesome. SKÅL!

Oh wow, I didn't know that Vikings had belt Sanders and Dremel tools, must've made it so much easier for them to make
Hahhaha, if they had them, I'll bet they would have used them.
The liquid you put inside the horn is literaly wax?A comon melted wax or a special kind of wax?
It is a melted bees wax. Not paraffin wax.

This was a great instructional video, thank you for sharing!
I just wanted to ask, what wax did you use to coat the inside and outside?
100 % pure bees wax on the inside. I used it on the outside also but you can use anything on the outside eve a spray lacquer.
@@MakersMovementDIY Thank you!
@@UnchartedAtlas my pleasure
@@MakersMovementDIY Would another kind of wax work and be food safe?
@@benben9851 I would think paraffin wax would work, they put it in chocolate so I has a little food safe. I like bees wax because of the smell.
Hi Dave. Do you have a video to make a horn mug? I want to learn to make those
I haven't done a video on that. you would have to cave a wood plug then seal it.
I was told that you would not be able to drink anything hot out of the horn if you only seal it with wax...is there another way to seal the inside that would make it safe to use with both hot and cold liquid? Thank you

Where do you Source your horns from I would love to make one, so far all I could do is authunticate a 10th century arrowhead
Tandy has some but I would only buy on site the ones I can hand pick, ren fairs usually have some great ones but they are pricey and crazy crow online has good prices and good horns but can be hit and miss sometimes. Horns for me are a target of opportunity. I buy them when I find them and I'll have them when I need them.
I need a drinking horn in my life.
I agree.
So, if I'm using food-grade epoxy, would I want to wipe the outside as well?
Yea it doesn't hurt, at least around the lip where your mouth will go.
@@MakersMovementDIY thank you!
My pleasure
That is sweet. I'm so gonna try this. Approximately what length horn will hold 12oz beer?
There is no real way to tell. It depends highly on the length of the horn, the girth, the thickness of the horn walls, and how much of the tip is solid. To be safe go bigger and cut it down to size when you shape the rim. Hope that helps.
@@MakersMovementDIY Thanks!
Just be sure to go bigger, so it'll hold at least 2! Lol
That spider tattoo 😮
I know, right?
Top!
Great video! What kind of wax did you use to coat the inside?
Yes, in an earlier comment reply he mentioned he used 100% bees wax. I'm trying to get some but proving difficult in SE Asis
How often do you have to re wax a horn
Depends on the use but I usually do it about every two years.
@@MakersMovementDIY ok thanks
Skål. Also powder horns for buckskinners
For sure.
How do you remove the bone inside the horn
Most horns you get are pre cleaned but you can boil the horn to remove the insides if you get a raw one. I recomend doing that outside.
@@MakersMovementDIY Really boiling works? I let them dry out for a week or two and the bone comes out easily sometimes with a little effort
@@MakersMovementDIY how long should you boil it for the bone to come out
@@kaharukevin drying is interesting. Boiling works but the time depends on the horn. Have you ever seen the trick where you microwave a potato and stick it on a rooster's spur, then pull the spur off....look it up, it works like that.
What's the importance of the beeswax on the exterior and the interior?
Apart from Olive Oil, can you use other cooking oil like Sunflower Oil?
Where did you get the bees wax?
You can get it at most craft stores like Michael's and hobby lobby. And also at some whole food and herbal stores. Probably score a brick on Amazon also. Mine came from my beehive.
Where is the best place to get hollowed horns cheap
Probably tandy leather
Nice work. But anyone working with horn or antlers like this please wear a mask. That dust you breath in stays with you for life. I had a friend die from this because it essentially filled his lungs with glue.
Can i use paraffin wax?
I wouldnt, it has a tendency to crack out and float around a cold drink. Bees wax is softer and handles the job much better.
I have a question. Since when drinking horns became "viking drinking horns".

I am currently making a Viking drinking horn
Awesome, I would love to see it when you finish. Tag me on Instagram or Facebook please.
What type of wax did you use
100 % bees wax.

@@MakersMovementDIY Thanks so much for the quick response and the tip. I'll try that! Mike
Skål ;)
What kind of blade did you use to cut the rim of the horn?
I probably had e a fins scroll blade on it. It doesn't really matter, horn is easy to cut with just about any saw. Including hand saws.
@@MakersMovementDIY Thanks for the response. What do you use to sand/smooth it after the cut?
@@codeseven1818 I can use a variety of power Sanders or just sandpaper will work fine. Horn is pretty easy to work.
@@MakersMovementDIY Thanks for your responses!
@@codeseven1818 No problem. Hope they helped.
Skal! 15+
hi dave the norseman, super video thanks! But how to you seal the inside? I cant see the buttom of my horn and the sides are not very smooth. So there might be some nasty things down there ..
I clean the inside witha. Long bottle brush, dish soap and hot water. After its dry I wax it thick with bees wax.
