Leather Carving Tutorial - Viking Style
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2017
- A beginners leather carving tutorial done with Viking style serpent knotwork. This obviously translates easily to celtic knots and is a good first step in learning to tool / carve leather.
Magnus shows you the tools needed, and takes you through the process from start to finish.
I've been carving leather for a while, sticking to knotwork for most of my projects, this specific carving will be used on a book cover.
It's the first video with my new Canon 80d setup, and I'm really enjoying the difference in quality, I hope you do too.

If you are just seeing this video for the first time, where did it get pushed to you? This video is suddenly skyrocketing for some reason and I’m curious. Thanks!
I just saw it in my recommended list. I have watched a few videos on how to bind leather books, so that might be why.
It was on my TH-cam home page
YT recommendation for me, guess because I casually watched some other craftsman vids. Even the video title was translated to my language, idk why
Recommended, I normally watch a lot of diy with woodworking
Linked on a Facebook page - Brotherhood of the Kilt, as a suggestion for making a viking pattern sporran.
Finally, someone that shows how to do and tell what they are doing when it comes to carving and tooling!! THANK YOU! Thumbs up! I think I have learned more just from watching this one video than I have from all the others that I've watched on here! Can't wait to try this out tomorrow.
Glad to help! More to come. :)
I agree w Terry. 👍
I quite agree with you.....
Great teacher ,thank you
Last done leather work as a teenager, I'm now fifty. I think you've just inspired me to revisit an old hobby. Skål. Takk.
That's awesome.
Me too! Have all the tools etc!
Love the sped up hammering noise :-D
Hayley Rose ASMR much?
That was a very interesting Wikipedia search
No doubt. There's a Haley Whispering Rose on youtube that does asmr if I recall correctly.
Me too! It almost sounds mechanical. Like the planishing hammer in my metal shop. Very cool! You can tell that his hammering is perfectly even, like a machine! I love this guy's talent, and knack for explaining, without dumbing it down.
sounds like a needle gun would make short work of some bigger areas
Thank you so much for this video. Getting ready to do a purse for my wife and it's been a couple of years since I did any carving. This was exactly what I was looking for to help get me through the process.
YES!!! Your videos are perfect . You don't talk to much, you're not annoying or cheesy. Thank you for a wonderful video!! 👍👍👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it. :)
"An eraser in case you don't know how to use a pencil" lol!
lol, That was savage!
Hahahahaha!
You a great listener 😃
Thank you for speaking clearly and describing each move and each tool! Appreciate your effort!
I've been trying to figure out how to carve designs for a leather book cover, and was so lost until I found this video! It's very clear and helpful, thank you!
You have no idea how desperate i've been for a while to find someone who just lists out their tools really clearly and gives a close up and links. Thank you so much
+Alex Douglas Glad to have helped you out.
I searched for leather tutorials and it was in the list, now I’m subscribed. I like how you explain what you are doing. A lot of tutorials don’t actually explain things it’s sped up and music playing over with minimal explanation. Thank you keep up the great work.
Love seeing how this is done and learning about the tools n techniques. Thanks for your video. Really nice work
Just recently started getting into tutorials, night and day from what I had known before. I appreciate the clarity and simplicity of your videos, also showing how non-cased leather is fine for carving. This was the first I watched. The close-ups of the tooling process is the most informative part for me. Cannot thank you enough!
Glad my video could be of some help to you.
i like that you speed up some of the process, but not ALL of it.. gives a much more realistic impression of how much time it actually takes to get through the process, while not making for an exhaustively long video. :)
Excellent video! You've got a nice teaching style and your talent shows through in your finished product. I'm excited to practice your suggestions. Thanks!
Thanks I really appreciate it. This kind of feedback keeps me going!
What that (^) lady said. I'd also add that I really appreciate the close ups of the tools at work, it gives a good idea of how to actually use them :)
I have been working with leather for 30 years and this is the first video that is worth it. Most of those who say they work with leather are terrible.
Beautifully made bro :)
You have a new subscriber. I've been cutting and sewing leather for knife scabbards and other stuff I make as a hobby for years, but just now trying to learn this. I liked that you were clear about the use and care of the tools used. I learned a few things and I'm sure someone just starting out would learn alot! Nice work!
Thank you so much for making this video. I really want to pick up leather working to go to Bicolline in Canada next year so I appreciate this so much!
Yours is one of the better video's here on this topic. Thanks for making it and sharing your techniques, learned a few tips I did.
An EXCELLENT tutorial video, short precise and very informative.
Right at the end where you show the unique way you use your modelling scoop, I like that. I am going to try that, thank you.
It's great to see videos like these showcasing the traditional arts of old. Really enjoyed watching this and you have a great talent. I've subscribed.
Great video! I like your no-nonsense approach to making a video. Maximum info with minimum wasted time. Well done!
You have an admirably steady hand, my friend!
Man, you're awesome. I'm speechless.
I've loved the drawing. As instructor you're great.
Really appreciate your teaching technique. So many people will show the same process or technique over and over and finitem !
I just stumbled onto your channel, and though I've been carving leather for several years, I've already picked up some really good tips from your videos. Thanks a ton, man.
James TheDoctor Duncan Great to hear. :)
Great tutorial, thanks. Well-paced instruction, speeding up at the right spots.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, You help me understand better on how to do leather work
Thanks so much. It looks so complicated, but you made it easy for those of us with no art skill!!
It was a true joy to watch you work!
Thanks a lot for the lesson, you are a very good teacher. Straight to the point.
I really like how you used the spoon tool to beval the outside of the pattern. Ive never seen that done befor.
How beautiful, you are so talented! This looks like loads of fun and a portable craft.
Very good instructions. Thank you for sharing your talent. Much appreciated.
From someone new to leather working, your channel is awesome and has helped me begin this awesome craft.
Love the speed and skill.
The sped up hammering reminded me of getting a tattoo 🤔😊Great job.
Just found you, most excellent lessons.l'll be looking for more lessons. Thank you for sharing your craft.
This was a wonderful tutorial... Expertly done and never boring..... He does his carving exactly as I do mine and the finished product always looks very good....
I found you.
לעולם אל תחקר אותי או את הייעוד שלי עלי אדמות. אתה לא תגביל את התקדים שלי ולא את רכישת הכס שלי.
Love your work. Especially the pretzel-Snake ;)
Clear, and concise video.
You are a very good teacher, sir...
My first ever tracing paper/pattern was a hand drawn tutonic cross. It turned out great. It was good watching your methods and I learned a bit more. Thanks.
Thank you for the tips Magnus, i have been struggling to improve my leather tooling.
absolutely pristine work mate, keep it up
Appreciated, going to keep going as much as I can.
Really enjoyed this I left the craft many years ago and I am getting back now
Very nice! I always love handmade art. I seen this video watching lanyard making diy,and then was moved to a video on making a iPhone 10 leather moulding video. Nice work.👍👍✌️
Great! Thanks. THis just might have to be a summer project for my boys and I to get into. I wish I had seen these 10 years ago when i was making a leather label for jeans i made :) Thanks for sharing your art process!
One of the best done how to videos I have seen on You Tube
Thanks!, this video really gave me confidence to start carving myself! :D
This is exactly the video I needed, thank you!
Your voice scared the shit out of me when I played the video it’s so deep.
Subscribed.
Gorgeous work! it was a great watch and great talent. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks, you made it look a lot easier than I thought it was. I learnt a lot.
I've started adding any links I could find for items used in my videos to the description. Full disclosure is that any purchases help this channel out directly through those links. Thanks for watching!
Dark Horse Workshop hey, I'm planning on making some leather "viking armor" would you carve before the hardening or after. I plan on using the glue and oven technique.
Definately after carving.
Scrotus Maximus Heroic comments from the Internet.
Where do you get your leather? I am having a hard time finding some in my area- perhaps you have an online link?
how much you sale your book make?
I love your voice and this video. It's very chill.
Wow, I take my hat off to ya but I'm nor wearing it. You sir have some amazing talent.
This design is beautiful.
I did leather tooling when I was 10 or 11 years old and now that I'm 64 decided to get back into it. Your video was the best 10:20 I could have ever spent as a refresher on backgrounding and basic leather tooling. You are an excellent teacher! I too wish the sped up parts was how fast we could really go!!
Thanks for the kind words
Really helpful! My first project has to be a quiver for my son so this has given me the confidence to get it done!
+Alix Cooper That's great!
Great tutorial. I can't wait wait to try it out
YT recommended list. But I watch a lot of DIY stuff, so I guess that's the reason. Nice leather job by the way.
My hand cramped up just watching this. Nicely done! I wish I could make my own design, but as of now I just print out designs I find and transfer them to my work.
+Grindstone Gotta start somewhere. I used nothing but Google images for years.
Not sure why this was recommended to me but was worth the watch. Great video, very clear instructions :D
Dang!! You are an amazing teacher!! Thank you. I am just starting out, and the problem is that other videos (even the ones that say they are for beginners), awesome that you already know what a bunch of stuff is, and how to do certain things. I am super excited to start experimenting now that I know what basic tools to get and how to use them!! Thank you!!
I’m glad you enjoy the videos
recommended from one of tandy leather's vids im in to art , now im in a rabbit hole of art
You should teach....mad skills and a great voice!You make it look easy
I do leather work, but have never done Viking stuff. Thank you fir the inspiration. Also thank you for telling what you are doing with each tool.Many people do not do this. They have too remember that there are people trying to learn. That alone caused me to subscribe
Thank you that was really fascinating to watch and learn :)
Have you ever seen a "Speed Beveler" It fits in your swivel knife - you may like it for the outside snake bevel.
I'll look into it, thanks.
Badass. I’ve been wanting to try this out.
Hello I just started working with leather and now I know what tools I should buy/make for myself. Excellent teaching on your part, Thanks for the video and,great work. Oh I wanted to learn this so I can make my own seat and saddle bags for my bike.
I am not really into leather carving but this was certainly enjoyable and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.
OMG This is beautiful :) I need to start saving up to buy the tools you used and some leather and start practesing. I am home alone alot,an often just sitting,because my legs dont work as good as before (thanks to MS ) so i defenatly have the time and the patience :) Loved this video and subscribed. Big hug from Norway
I am do sorry to hear that but here adlist yku jave time but sorry to hear that
Dude just hit it out of the park... basically took me fear of leather carving away in 10 min. Great video! Great quality and awsome design! Cheers
Woodsmans Finest Awesome to hear. :)
I just discovered your channel. I did leather work a little back in high school many years ago. I always loved it. I've recently made some homemade knives and want to make some leather sheaths for them. I must echo what Terry C. has said. This video is GREAT because you show an excellent view of your work, and more importantly , you EXPLAIN what to do, when, and how to do it. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
great basic tooling video. thanks, I really appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome....loved everything about it
Great video! You make it look easy. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks so much, just starting out and this helps a lot!
No problem!
VERY nice tutorial and the design is great!
I was damn good in 7th grade but, haven't done much since! I'm 66 now, so it isn't something I do! I tried some, a few years ago and I guess, like riding a bicycle, it really doesn't go too far away! About 10 minutes and I was right back in the groove!
BUT, I did teach my daughters how to do it and they did well!
THANKS for the video!
Thank you for this video. I'm looking forward to learning the art of leather working through your channel.
Love this tutorial, simple to follow and good quality video. Just about to have a go at it for the first time! Wish me luck....
Jonathan Bray Thanks and good luck!
This is one of the things I really like is leatherworking motorcycle seats saddles all kinds of stuff
This is so awesome. I have been learning how to carve leather and this is the kind of stuff I want to do. I need to find the right project to put this onto.
Thanks! This one will end up being a book in a future video.
Extremely enjoyable!
I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your work and skill. I am sharing on my FB and with a personal friend who makes forged knives and would really like this as an addition to his work.
Well done!!
Thanks a bunch, glad you're enjoying the videos.
Sehr schönes Video. Auch für Anfänger geeignet.Gut und Verständlich erklärt.👏👏👏👍👍👍
Vielen Dank!
Your guidance & tips helpful as always.
Great refresher material, as I must go many months between projects.
Cheers.
Well done! You make it look so easy!
Genial, muchas gracias desde Santa Fe, Argentina...
Brillant! Thank you very much for this video, I had wondered where to bevel on a knot design.
Very nice, I have a few variations on what you do, but it is nice to have see a different take on carving and lines.
great job very well done, you are true craftsman.
Nice work. Celtic & Viking designs are hugely similar in many ways, which is one of the reasons my ancestors loved to pilfer artefacts from the monasteries when they arrived here long ago. We even kept the name the locals gave us. "Dark strangers".
"and an eraser in case you don't know how to use a pencil" I'm sobbing,, you've got yourself a new subscriber sir
I'm getting Bob Ross vibes from your narration! Very soothing and adds a lot to the video, more-so than music would. ^_^
Thanks! Glad to hear it... I'm tempted to do some ASMR videos or a channel but haven't yet... makes me think I should. :)
Very helpful tutorial... You answered the questions... That I had... Nice work... Thanks for sharing...
