What an absolutely beautiful drinking horn! I love your channel as it has inspired me to make some designs for the clan I'm part of. And I have to brag: We did our drinking horn similar to the one you make in this video but with one of my patterns and with the rim made of silver. Where can I post a picture of it to show you what you, my good man, have inspired? P.S.: Love the cap, by the way.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop Lost wax if you want high quality on whatever detailing you're going to put on it. Also use MUCH smaller rivets, with much smaller heads, and preferably from the same alloy you use for the plates and other fitments. Attention to detail is what makes LARP quality eBay stuff differ from artisinal museum quality pieces. And with your artistic skill (albeit you cheap out and etch and do stuff that I'd expect from a Chinese eBayer) I really believe that you could make museum quality replicas and the like. The only falling down you have is lack of attention to detail. I get you're rushing it because you do it for a living and you're paid per piece, but there's lots of stylistic choices you make as it's faster and easier that all added up hugely impact the work. With your drawing skills you should focus on getting your hand in engraving, which translates readily to lost wax casting too. You're wasting that amazing talent by cheaping out on other parts of the build. I've seen a lot of your stuff based on historic examples. And you'll always say "This is my take on it." Have you ever considered not doing your take and focusing on making it as accurate as possible? Because therein lies the difference between products that are worth hundreds to products that are worth thousands.
@@dr.lexwinter8604 I make almost nothing for sale for the public, because I don't want to. This was for a friend, no charge, all my other builds just sit on a shelf for the most part. When I feel I have time to deep dive into something more purely historical and not go broke doing it, I may do that. Outside of TH-cam I build props and costumes for film where it just needs to look good. So though I appreciate where you're coming from, it is tough to jump into new skills. As things get bigger it gives me a chance to try new things, like etching. Thanks for watching.
One way I have found to peen the lower rivets (instead of peening deep inside the horn) is to use a domed nail and push it through from the inside out. Then, I peen the head of the rivet on the outside, with something to support the head of the rivet on the inside of the horn. I use the horn of an anvil, or a long sturdy piece of metal like black iron pipe secured in a vice.
Love it! It really adds a nice style to the horn. I don't drink out of horns enough lol... too often I hold them the direction and nearly soak my smokkr ;) Poor Viking am I! I need some mead now :D
if you talked about the melting point of the horns can you please supply me with the link so I know please good work and wonder if sipping the bronze or tin with the horn if that is another way to do it
I do love your vids, they teach me stuff I didn't know I needed to know, and all with the right attitude! ps, that final drinking montage with all your Viking friends was so you on your own and topped the whole thing off lol Keep experimenting/learning new skills and plz do the bronze casting thang ;@)
That looks superb 👌. With my luck my beard would probably get snagged in it somewhere every time I took a drink. And you should definitely do the bronze casting thing👍
Loving the bronze work here, but I'm very curious about your drilling and hammering on the horn itself, can you give us any tool or technique ideas for working with that material? Love your work and wanna learn more!
Im making my son one .im putting an aluminum. Lip around the Edge of the horn. Im having trouble figuring out what kind of adhesive to use. Any suggestions ?
Congrats for your channel and your contento that is ver COOL, I would like to ask you some cople of things, have you ever did this kind of work with, tin ? Its the same making process? , and what could you advice to me to fix a horn that have a little Hole on the down? Thanks fot making that kinda videos its awsome. Greetings from México 🤘🏻
Horn hole is hard to say. If it's for myself I might epoxy and paint it, or maybe wood glue and paint it? As long as the inside is coated with your bees wax or good grade epoxy it should be fine.. Not sure about tin though ..
Wax or a food grade epoxy (I'm going to do a food grade epoxy) I'll do a short video on it really soon. But honestly It takes a ton to fill that horn and when you drink it may be passing over 1 rivet.
hey bro, I’ve seen your comment at a specific shoulder impingement video, just here if you feeling well already, sorry for the irrelevant question, subscribed already.
What's the point in a drinking horn if every element of it is modern? Why not buy a plastic one on eBay from China. Also drinking horns are more akin to a yard glass, there would be one in a hall for dares. They weren't routine. There's very little in the way of primary source material on the topic, although the drinking horn is where drinking from skulls came from. Specifically lost in translation was the wording 'they drink from skull branches'. Meaning horns. Somewhere someone just thought it meant skulls. And suddenly skulls became drinking cups in popular mythology.
Anyone have interest in bronze casting? Tempted to try and do a tip for the horn, deciding on how I want to go about it.

I've done mostly sand casting with aluminum and Brass. If you want really clean details though you are better off with lost wax.

The drinking montage at the end might have been my favorite part of the whole video lol
It was definitely mine, I was cracking up pretty good editing it.
I've been messing around engraving on drinking horns recently. It's really fun.
Very cool. Beautiful work
I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.
so good video!we also have water buffalo horn carving
Wished I could purchased this same drinking horn.
Jagerhorn! i love it!
Amazing work sir 👍😀

Solid point, was just getting a bit ocd on them all looking identical. Guess I could have done them all that way
@@DarkHorseWorkshop still came out looking great!
I just got 10 horns I can’t wait to try something 😊
Everything you make is fantastic. I love all of your videos and all of your projects. Thank you for all the content and keep at it!!
Outlands?
Outlands.
OUTLAAAAAAAAAAAANDS!
(Those stags got me feeling some kinda way)
Love it! It really adds a nice style to the horn. I don't drink out of horns enough lol... too often I hold them the direction and nearly soak my smokkr ;) Poor Viking am I! I need some mead now :D
youll have to come forge a blade at my shop when times are less crazy.
Could you please link to a video making the horn please
Awesome as usual! Your videos never disappoint
Thanks a bunch, means a lot.
Very cool !wondering how you did it.now i can try it on a horn im working on . What does it say ? Couldnt read it all thanks
if you talked about the melting point of the horns can you please supply me with the link so I know please good work and wonder if sipping the bronze or tin with the horn if that is another way to do it

I had a lot of fun doing that silly ending. :)
great Job!!!
Is it possible to make an internal silver cup, because its hard to clean normally the wax comes off and still shows its stained
Skål! Lovely vid and awesome art work as always! ^^
have you ever used those horns to make a table candle?
That looks superb 👌. With my luck my beard would probably get snagged in it somewhere every time I took a drink. And you should definitely do the bronze casting thing👍
This is so cool
awesome job could we get that pattern you were using?
Loving the bronze work here, but I'm very curious about your drilling and hammering on the horn itself, can you give us any tool or technique ideas for working with that material? Love your work and wanna learn more!
Nothing special just wood drill bits. I'd say don't overthink it too much. :)
What type of rivets did you use?
That is pretty cool
Skol!
Im making my son one .im putting an aluminum. Lip around the Edge of the horn. Im having trouble figuring out what kind of adhesive to use. Any suggestions ?
Hmmmm... maybe just some epoxy? Is it a lip that curves right over the top then?
@DarkHorseWorkshop yes

I want one! Come on magnus make some for sale!
Do you think you could've gotten away with using a glue or contact cement on the etched plates, then only riveting the other bracing parts?
I have a set of horns from an animal that meant a lot to me, would you be interested in doing this whole process to them? If so what would you charge?
Can't see a link to your etch resist film? Really like to try that.
Added more information to the description. PNP Blue resist paper from local electronics stores usually.
That horn looks so sweet! Did you have to do anything to make the rivets leak proof? I think I would have sealed the holes with wax.
Wax or a food grade epoxy (I'm going to do a food grade epoxy) I'll do a short video on it really soon. But honestly It takes a ton to fill that horn and when you drink it may be passing over 1 rivet.

My shoulder is still a bit wonky bit it is definately helping a ton. I bought a proper pull up bar and hook straps and they've also been great.
Scroll!! next time let's make a viking shield
That Video is on this channel.
what kind of rivets did you use
Solid brass peening rivets.
Those tools to cut.... 😮😮😍😍 How much it cost? 😂
Where did you get the beanie at the end? I've been looking for one similar forever
It looks handmade. Learn to knit or crochet and make your own, it's really easy.
Great video.
Just fyi.
Maybe talk to Cindi about some acting lessons...
Lol.
:)
My over the top comedic acting accomplished exactly what I wanted it to.
Where do we get bronze plates?
Jewelry stores have some brass and copper and sometimes bronze.
anneal, hammer till hard, anneal, repeat, and dont forget the pickle
where are you getting your bronze plates?
Rio Grande has some, but I get them from Mountain Gem in Burnaby BC Canada.
I want 1 🤩🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
i would have put rubber/silicon washers on the inside
Going to food grade epoxy the inside but really you're only drinking over 1 rivet and it holds a TON, so it's fairly fine without.
Who is isac scald? And what’s bragiblol?
Isaac is a friend of mine. Not sure what bragiblol is.
etchant? is that a word?
Wheres a good place to find horns?
Tandy Leather sells some
Excellent work. But I miss being told to be creative in whatever it is I do.
Hahaha.. thanks for this. ;) Just a rare one off. :)
Why didn't you insert the rivet from the inside then peen the outside using an anvil horn against the inside rivet heads?
Because I visualy like all my rivet heads to be nice perfect round domes. Could certainly flip it around if you wanted to go that route.
So I guess you could say it was a peen in the ass to hammer those deeper robots?
Two words: Rubber. Brayer. Ditch the burnishing tools and roll that PNP! You’ll thank me later!
May have to give it a go.
I am manufacturers this item
There are adults over the age of 22 who drink jaegermeister?
Well if you start at 19 and never stop.. then... you're only really drinking it at 19.. it just goes on forever.
Not on purpose at least, in my experience. It's one of those things that just appears at parties. I've never seen anyone buy it. It's just... there.
you can use a button punch for that deep peening
