Thanks for all the support, both here, and on my Patreon page. More videos in the works!
Now i kind of want to see this belt.
Thank you my God. I have been searching everywhere to figure out the order of dye, finish and antique (most just dye or antique). Thank you! Finishing a nice rifle sling I did last week.
Years ago I made belts n wallets for my Dad n Brother. We are talking 40 years ago. My dad passed in 1999 he was buried with the belt n the wallet we found in my Moms stuff still full of dads things. I gave the wallet to my nephew the middle one. My brother gave his belt to the younger one. My brother wallet though bit the dust ten years ago when ten puppies from his Shepard knocked it off a table n proceeded to eat it lol. Nothing beats good leather if you care for it. It also tells me something about my Dad n Brother they really loved my gifts simple as they were my. Brothers belt n wallet were decorated in a scene of kangaroos cause at time I was obsessed with Australia. And my Dad's was an eagle in flight over the sun and fields and farms n city scape. I was lucky people teaching me had all the tools to create it. I got first n second place at craft fair for each set. But the fact my Dad n Brother loved them so much means more than the craft fair prize. They loved n cared for them now my nephew's do. Oh n the older nephew got the saddlebags I made for my bicycle. Lol he uses them on his motorcycle. Again they depict Australian outback scene. A sunset over the kangaroos.
Amazing, I wanted to take up leather working for a while, watching your videos has given me the drive to get started 🙂🙂
Your commentary is very fun and similar to how I explain leather things to people. And Yes, we leather carvers love showing things we made Eons ago
Great video!! You are of so much support for me as a newbie at leather work (where my local leather shop is useless, unfortunately). I look forward for getting this finisher and try this beautiful antique look.
Awesome job
first time on your channel, loved it such skill. Alan UK
LOL The belt crack was funny. Thanks! Looks great!
I thought that Resolene should always be applied in the end, after the Dying and the Antiquing... But this way it looks really awesome I will definitely try it out too and see the result myself! Thank you so much for the video!
Things are always evolving for me and I'm not sure if I put a coat on at the end. But I do now, I do the one before, then antique, then another one as a finish.
New to leatherworking from arizona love these videos man the ambient sounds and music are an awesome touch
Great video! I especially like the videos where you carve the leather, it looks so satisfying! Well done!
Nice work. Like the art work I pick up a lot on use the knife.
thank you for the info.
Nice work
So I've been painting the designs I've been tooling; I just dye the whole piece once I finish tooling and then paint over that, haven't had any problems (yet), but I never thought to leave the design un-dyed/painted, nor that you could brush the dye on, I might have to try that. As for antiquing, I just brush on a watered-down black paint and then almost immediately wipe it off, darkening some of the recesses of the design and leaving some of the black in the deeper crevices of the tooling, sometimes doing two or three applications, though not so much for the purpose of antiquing the piece but just to help make the intricate details of the design stand out a bit better rather than the painted parts looking brightly colored and plain in my opinion.
Wow! Such a nice discovery of a channel :) I have never thought there could be done such miracles with a leather.
Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous ❤
Thank you for all the videos! You've helped me quite a bit!
Great to hear.
Awesome job looks incredible.
Amazing work, thank you for the time dedicated to teach us, greats from Brazil :D
Stunning absolutely great BRAVISSIMO!!!!
Looks great man !
I'm about to have my first try at leather work making a viking lamellar armour for myself. I'm kinda stressed to fuck it up knowing it costed me a lot for all the required material. I even failed in ordering the stamps not knowing I had to order the stamp separately... Rectified that today but damn, being a noob at this and trying an armour right from the start...
Your videos motivate me tho, maybe it'll become a real hobby for me, not that I think I'd ever match a pro.
Brazilian knife maker over here. Trying to get better in sheath make
Amazing work my friend!
You do beautiful work. Keep the videos coming.
Love your work!
Thanks!
Would you mind doing a more in depth video on dyes, painting, resist, and antiquing? what they all are for? techniques? different kinds of resists and such?
Sounds like a solid idea, I'll do that. :)
I was interested in learning how to work with leather for some time now. Found your chanel the day after I had a beginner's course. Really cool channel and awesome videos! I ordered leather for the first time yesterday and am impatient to try this new technique.
Awesome, glad you're enjoying the videos. :)
Great Job Magnuss
I love your videos! This is the best, most informative, comprehensive and satisfying series I follow anywhere. Oh, inspirational as well. I’m about to order my first carving tools and I feel I’m going to begin with an excellent, rock-solid body of knowledge before I make my first cut. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You mention in this video the horrendous prospect of dripping dye onto a place it shouldn’t be. Could you make a video showing what you might do if such a thing happened? Right, now I’m going to order tools!🤗
Thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying them all. :)
Indeed it looks awesome! Well done, sir!
Great craftsmanship again,thx for the vid. Hey let's see the belt ha
Nice 👍🏻
that did turn out pretty awesome
+John Kennedy I was very happy with it.
An interpretation of a Borre gripping beast/lion might be kinda cool?
Nice work!
Totally loved this video great job
Amazing!!! I love your videos. Very helpful. Greetings from Germany/Ulm! Skoll!
Tobias Konrad Glad you like them. I'm in Germany now actually. :)
Dark Horse Workshop have a nice time ther, in wich city do you stay?
simply epic
Amazing work loved this
Great video, lovely work!
Great work!
Could you add another coat of resolene after applying the antiquing?
Very great job.What is the black you used to cover the bottom?I cant find in the description.I have some "coal black" from eco-flo and it s just not covering the leather.i am very desapointed pls help. thx for what u do!
What's the difference between a resist and a finish?
Really nice work. It’d be nice to see more. Can you do a video on the process of creating such knot work? Thank you and keep up the great work!
I have a couple of sketching videos, I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for specifically.
So would the steps go; carving, tooling, dyeing, painting, sealing, antiquing?
Greetings Magnus, from Arizona! We just launched our channel and stumbled across yours. You are a true artist. So glad to have found your channel that we subscribed. Can't wait to check out all your other videos. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Glad to have you!
Curious to know if you have a shop where we can buy your products you make. :)
Take It Outside There is a link to my etsy in the description of all my videos.
Good to know = I will see you there soon.
Network!! Find someone to do cool pinstripe work on a piece. Airbrush your artwork. Upholstery restore you can add a design to the leather console or something. These fields have tons of followers.
Hey. Great work. What kind of Towel are you using to whipe of the Antigue Gel. Is it just a paper towel or some kind of fabric?
Can you do a video o. The Construction of your bag or a similar one! Great work man!
I want to do that for sure.
Damn, now I found an amazing new craft I want to do. This is going to be ridiculous. 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Magnifico trabajo. Saludos desde Cancun Quintana Roo México.
I love your work, very inspiring! I make knives and started making leather sheaths for the knives. The only tooling I've attempted so far is the basket weave, I'm very keen to try some carving, just one question, can you in fact design and make your own designs and transfer to leather, obviously a knife sheath only presents a fairly small area to work.I wonder if you might have some suggestions or could point me to some of your videos which may cover some of that content, Cheers
Nice!
wow amazing... I was passing a sad-angry moment when you putted a lot of antique finish because I never have it and I didn't find it !🤭😐 thank you very much
Supper pattern I like.
Do you condition your leather before/after any dyeing? Or do you believe it isn't necessary?
Thank you for sharing your talent with us and doing these videos. What type of Airbrush gun are you using. Thanks again. :)
I was just using a small paint spray gun.
Was curious if u always had a artistic flare and thats how u do carvings so easy or did u just learn to do it over the years with practice?
I was an ok artist but never really good. Knotwork is fairly easy and transferable to serpents simply enough. It takes me a very long time to draw things but practice practice.
I'm going to use what I learn here to put it on the motorcycle I'm building
That sounds cool man. You doing the seat, or saddle bags? Or even both?
Stephen Hauer for now, I'm thinking doing it in the seat
Nice.
It will be my first time building a motorcycle too and maybe I'll upload everything in the end.
Sweet. Hit me up, when you do, I would love to see the finished product.
If I'm putting multiple dyes on one piece of my project, how much drying time needs to pass before top coating or finishing so the colors won't smear or bleed together?
Do you use water based dye or oil? Is one better than the other for armor?
I'm looking for a way to do the opposite, I've tooled in and etched a design that I want to color in silver, with the rest being dark blue. I can't paint that finely by hand, so is there a way to fill the design etch/tooling with silver paint then wipe off?
Do you like the Angelus resist better than Resolene or Pro Resist by Fiebing? I use the both of those and it picks up the dye off the dyed leather, lightening or diluting the intensity, even after the dyed area has dried for several days. Have you found this to be a problem? does the use of an air gun to spray reduce this problem? Thanks, keep tooling and filming.
I change things up a lot. Usually defer to acrylic resolene.
A BSQ (bloody stupid question): The leather hardens as it dries, so how do you sew it? I want to make a carved leather belt pouch, but can't find info on how to sew up dried leather.
Really enjoying your videos.
Tiaan Burger doesn't really harden much at all. A tiny bit maybe bit nothing significant.
Dark Horse Workshop Thanks! I'll give it a go! A small project at first...
Do you add another layer of finish or resist after the antiquing?
Yes. I try and keep it light. Maybe 50/50 water neutral resolene I spray it on.
I love your work!! I have seen different colors of antique.. what color do you use? and what color dye?
Almost always dark brown antique. Dye is a variety.
my only option is Amazon or Ebay
Can you use roselene as a resist? Or do you need to buy something like pro resist?
Would you happen to have the footage of the bag making process laying around or have any interest in making one for the fans? Skål!
It's in the plans for sure. When I get my camera back which I broke. Heh
Hey Magnus, question. I’m using Fiebing’s Antique Paste and EcoFlo Semi-Sheen for a finish. But when I apply the sheen, it makes all the colors muddy. Do you have a recommendation on how to keep my antiquing crisp, but still apply a finish?
I use acrylic resolene for my resist and finish
What kind of sprayer are you using?
Paint sprayer. One that's all metal usually
So you antique after applying a finish? I've been putting it on between dying and applying the finish. I've noticed the finish takes off some of the antique, giving it most of the look I want.
Leather carving is always resist then antique. Finishes are used as a "resist" and makes your work pop like crazy which is great.
Otherwise it ends up muddy.,
@@DarkHorseWorkshop thank you very much for the info. Really new to the craft, and from this I've been doing it wrong. The leather does tend to look a lot darker and not as awesome as I'm sure it could. Again thank you.
Is the leather wet?
Thats what ive been doing wrong?! i didnt seal it before applying the antique
I honestly did that for ages. I thought that the antique was magic..
That is why we come to these videos isn't it. He gives us the tips to make our jobs better. It is kinda like an apprenticeship watching his videos.
ill have to do on the bag im making
When you are spraying the Angelus Matte Finisher, do you dilute it? If yes, by how much?
I just put it on straight.
what about the belt?
You are epic!
How do you get your dye so even? Mine have always been splotchy with a dauber and brush. Many thanks!
If you are able, a sponge, and quick application works well. Or a spray gun, or try wetting the leather evenly (not too much) first, then dye it. Also Fiebings Pro dyes tend to go on a bit more even.
I have yet to heard what a resist actually is and what is used. No one, anywhere I can find actually explains the resist and what it is and what it is all about. I am totally confused.
A resist is much like a finish and often. Is the same thing. It stops an antique stain from coloring your leather, which means it only goes into all the cracks of your carvings and makes them pop
You didn't really show your application of the resist.
Could you discuss that a little more in a future video?
Ya I was a bit quick on that, true.
In spray is resolene or tankote?
I've been using an Angelus Matte Finish in my work these days, but Ia've heard good things about Acrylic Resolene. Do a tester though.
Dark Horse Workshop Thx for info btw amazing job!
Should the leather be completely dry when you begin to dye or is it better to be somewhat damp?
Damp is fine, and some people prefer it for making colors more even. I tend not to think about it too much myself.
Thank you so much! Fantastic video!!
Have seen videos recently showing that they are oiling the leather before dyeing / antiquing ...... is this necessary, better ?
I've seen some people doing this but haven't experimented with it.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop Thank you. And thank you for sharing... incredible piece of work !
@Dark Horse Workshop Ok..rookie question....
I put a layer of Tan Kote on the leather. Put a liberal amount of Fiebings Antique Finish on.... let it sit for over 45 min.... and not much difference overall ?
With the realist on.... do I maybe just need to let it sit quite a bit longer ?
@@SteveHaysVids You resist, put on antique, wipe it away. But the point of this is for use with tooled leather, it gets in all the cracks and cuts. If it's just on a smooth peice of leather that's not the point.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop I did get the result I was looking for by leaving it on a little longer. Leaving on too long though... well.. I learned on one piece how much extra work that creates as well LOL. Thank you for always taking the time to share tips and guidance. MUCH Appreciated!!
Do you let the leather dry completely out or can it still be damp before you die it?
I am still experimenting after all these years with getting an even coat when painting with dyes. Lately I've been wetting it evenly and dying while wet for what "seems" like a more even coat.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop alright thank you. Just starting to get into leatherwork and stumbled across you channel and have been watching a good bit of your videos lately. What's the best place to get leather from? Like a certain online store or?
@@austinprosser1683 Depends where you're located. Tandy Leather is all over the place, I don't do much online leather shopping, supplies only. Any leather I usually want to see first.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop not sure if we have a tandy leather around here. I'll have to look into it. Am I able to get ahold of you on your facebook page or something if I have other questions? Because I do have other questions but I dont want to blow up your TH-cam replies😅
@@austinprosser1683 Easier to message me on facebook, or email, or patreon I guess really. :)
Do you give classes?
I've thought about it, not really leaping out of my seat to do so though. I like the solitude of teaching over the internet, not sure how well I'd do in a class setting.
Ok... I see you are dying the leather just as I do on most of my projects. BUT... are you using oil or alcohol type of dyes. The dark background I see looks like oil, am I right ?
The drunken Celt, out of South Carolina.
What brand antique bro?
Eco-Flo, but I'm sure any would do.
You put your antique over your finish? Never seen that.
That's what you're supposed to do. The antique is to make your carving pop. You resist it then antique it to get that pop. Otherwise you're just making a muddy mess.
Still showing my 8 year old belt LOL
