What about a stylish glove? idk if it was a thing or if you want to do a historically precise piece... but I think that can maybe fit some noble/ranger fantasy costume! :)
This isn't so much 14th century, but a scabbard for a curved sword /cutlass... I have a blade that is broad at the end and narrow towards the hilt... Just a decorative sword but still would like to make my own scabbard... Just a polite request... Sláinte
Like the pouch! You could add a thin strip of cowhide at the mouth of the pockets. Would stiffen it up a bit for your lace and you could incorporate your tab into that. Might look nice too. Would mean more sewing of course.
If at the middle of the small front pouches, put two beads on the draw string and back through the second and continue to weave to the end and fasten off with enough opening to the pouch so things don’t fall out. Then, pull the second bead to tighten the pouch and not from the back of the pouch. It’s to create that easy front draw and secure, by adding two beads when you’ve threaded half way. I hope it helps.
Amazing video! I've made my first kidney pouch with this pattern, it was really easy and fun! // and my first leather carving // and It's beautiful ))) I chose mahogany dye for the background and left the carving undyed (it became ginger under finishing coat). I used applying technique from another your video to get slightly irregular colouring - and found this "old-looking" style really gorgeous =)
It’s beautiful leather. Good use of Running Stitch and then reverse. If wear, heavens forbid, weakens a stitch, the Running Stitch has the stitches going the full run, from a different next stitch or the run. Clever.
I’m a Blacksmith and I’ve tried to use that snap technique for duplicating a Wagon Wheel Hub and all’s I got was a soup can, I guess I’m just not gifted enough. Superb craftsmanship.
thank for the warning on the rolling up to a ball for the holes found out the hard way do not do it hard and for a long time it will look like swiss cheese lol love you videos
Haaaaaa!!! At 12:03, he said "All those cracks have brown in them"! Someone overheard just that portion and looked at me like "WTF are you watching"... Just a little ten-year-old humor.
Hey bud, I got a tip for ya. At the end where you did not pre punch the holes, I have encountered that situation before, my solution? I made a needle for my pen vice, and just use that when I'm in a pickle, the first one I made from high tensile, high ductile steel wire about 1/8" thick, chucked up in a drill and sharpened with a dremel, both at high speed to keep it concentric , and attempting to maintain a gradual taper.... This one folded under pressure so I swung at it again. The second one I made from 3/32nd Stainless , manufactured with similar geometry. the added strength of the stainless has proven bulletproof!!! I could probably pierce the sheet-metal on a vehicle with no concern. The pen vice I have is from Lukfin very similar to Starrett #166C
Hi Richard, thoroughly enjoyed your video. I hope you’re coping OK with the lockdown? Could I ask what backgrounder you were using on the decorative panel and who supplies it? Many thanks. Keep safe!
www.amazon.com/shop/darkhorseworkshop You can find tools I use on my storefront it's a tandy tool, I obviously get a kickback from them if you buy it through my store but no sweat either way.
Oh wow love your work! I could totally get down with doing this, I have done some wood burning, instead of punching the holes is it ever done burning holes instead, with a wood burning tool or soldering iron? And burning the edges as well instead of belvelling the edges? Perhaps instead of cutting the pieces out... Are designs ever burnt in, in this craft? I really like the gold plated effect, I could see that a burgundy, green or blue stain pattern would also be nice.
I love your signature serpent but would love to see a wolf, full on dragon, eagle or stag. Is that something you think you could do? I have been working on some resin art, but no videos yet. If you want pictures I am on Instagram or just msg me. Look forward to the next project and those awesome short stories.
I really like the look of this pouch. I am wanting to make this for my SCA persona. I have cut out my pattern pieces and will be cutting the leather sometime soon. Where did you find the buckle you used in the video? I didn't see it listed on your Amazon page. May have to look for something to replace the Heavy Braided Sinew from Tandy since they have it on Closeout now.
Shouldn't be the braided sinew, that's a different thing. As for the buckle I can't remember where I got it specifically but for stuff like that you may want to investigate either Raymonds Quiet Press, or Bronzehammer. Bronzehammer is higher quality stuff, but Raymonds has a ton of fittings.
Do I have the braided sinew listed? I'll have to check. There's some chocolate brown braided sinew that's not useful for this. It's more the round artificial natural colored sinew (tan/beige)
@@DarkHorseWorkshop I think I figured it out looking through Tandy's webpage. Your Amazon parts list (making of my Kidney Pouch, Viking Belt Pouch, and my phone case videos) shows a link to [Tandy Leather Heavy Braided Sinew Natural 20 yd (18.3 m) 1315-00] but I think you were meaning [Tandy Leather Artificial Sinew Natural 270 yds (246.8 m) 11208-00] which is the round sinew version. Was looking through making up my shopping list for this weekend.
I've watched a bunch of these now and in preparation for me doing more leather work for larping stuff and I kind of need to ask. When you mention the ounces of leather is that the same kind of thing as the thickness of it or a completely different thing?
@@DarkHorseWorkshop You have a local bead shop? Jelly. While I have you - what tannery do you get your vegtan from? Consistently looks very clean and carves well.
Beautiful...I love your work . I have made that Birka pouch you do.I had no pattern so I just draw it as best I could ...and it turned out lovley 😊😊You realy Inspire me ..thank you.😍😍Cant wait to see your next work 😊😊
Would eye rivets help keep the softer leather from stretching out? I get it's hidden most of the time but for longevity would that help? *I get that that's not authentic but if your putting in the work you'll want it to last right😊
"Then you just tie it off, cut it, burn it, try not to burn your fingers..." How about using a finger guard or thimble? Or even better a small guard taped to the butt end of your torch to tamp it after you burn it?
What kind of thickness would you recommend for that kind of pouches? Wanna get into crafting with leather and I almost know nothing right now :D Thank you in advance!
Veg tan is a naturally tanned leather using only bark and other vegetation. It’s a stiffer leather than chrome tanned and can be carved, tooled and dyed to whatever colour you choose. It can also be wet-formed which involves soaking the leather, then shaping it round a wooden mould. When it dries it retains the shape and feels really solid. It normally comes flesh coloured, although you can buy it dyed through.
Oh, that looks SO simple to do! I'd stab myself, repeatedly, trying to sew, sew the wrong holes together, cut the lacing too short, spill dye everywhere and end up trashing the whole thing. But that's just me. :-)
Any other 14th Century style stuff interest people?
What about a stylish glove? idk if it was a thing or if you want to do a historically precise piece... but I think that can maybe fit some noble/ranger fantasy costume! :)
You do awesome work! How about a scabbard for a longsword or arming sword?
How about a women's girdle pouch? I'm going to Comic-Con and would love a pattern to make one myself. =) LOVE your work and channel!
I've been looking on motorcycle leg bags, what about that?

When I was doing SCA and made this type of pouch I used goatskin for the pouchlets. It didn't stretch quite as much as deer does.
Great advice.
As someone who works in both cloth and leather, the gathering part makes perfect sense.
Great video. Nice to hear Derek Fiechter in the background in places.
Those weights look pretty nice.

I have to keep adding projects to my “to do” list when you put these up. Darn you! Haha.
I know this is nearly a year later, but in the deer hide, use eyelets to help prevent the leather stretch with the draw string
Thank you for this video. Even 3 years later it did its job as it got me to visit your etsy and make a purchase.
And 12 days later I've made 2 of these 14th century belt bags.
It's very enjoyable thanks.
I really enjoyed your video and commentary. I got quite a chuckle out of some of them.
Love those weights!

nice little stop motion sequence!
That turned out very well, with the refinements mentioned it's a double winner.

You have talent my friend. I have had some custom leather work done. I've had a sporran, holster, and sheath made. Love the channel subbed.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

I like the artwork you do thank you for teaching it.

"At this point it starts to look like a pouch."
Me, at the same spot in my build: Ah! Oh man, it really looks like a pouch now!
What are the details on your really small beveler tool? Cost? etc.
Very nice pouch
Really cool!
I wonder if I could turn this into a cross body/shoulder bag
Hell yeesss
Another awesome video!
Late 15th Century pouch would be good - I am involved in Wars of the Roses re-enactment

Starting to do some non serpents on my Etsy and Patreon. Just not great at them. Practice practice.
Qué bonito trabajo 😍
ah yes the perfect place to store my kidneys
Great pattern - really looking forward to making this. Many thanks.
How do I sew the strip with the two lines of holes?
Awesome Piece Thumbs Up My Friend Really Really Like This One

Genial, un trabajo muy bonito
what would you suggest instead of the deer skin?
Maybe some thinner cow hide, 3oz or so, just from somewhere that's not too stretchy. ie: Not the belly.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop kinda what i was thinking too. thanks
I've watched a bunch of these now and in preparation for me doing more leather work for larping stuff and I kind of need to ask.
When you mention the ounces of leather is that the same kind of thing as the thickness of it or a completely different thing?
Ya, it's a strange term in figuring out the thickness.
Thanks guy. I'll dig out a conversion chart for when I can get to ordering leather to try some of your stuff.
Me encantaría un video donde te den las medidas o te dejen un link de donde poder sacarlas e imprimir las plantillas.

I found them at a local bead shop.

*I get that that's not authentic but if your putting in the work you'll want it to last right😊
Id just use some less stretchy thin leather. That might work though
Can you dye the artificial sinew?
It's usually waxed, so unlikely. But there are other wax thread options.
"Then you just tie it off, cut it, burn it, try not to burn your fingers..." How about using a finger guard or thimble? Or even better a small guard taped to the butt end of your torch to tamp it after you burn it?
Good ideas, haven't needed to.. I like to joke around a bit in my videos, I rarely burn my fingers.
Mmmmmm oil tan is my favourite.. love its dark creaminess
What kind of thickness would you recommend for that kind of pouches? Wanna get into crafting with leather and I almost know nothing right now :D Thank you in advance!
6 to 8oz for the main body. 6 for loops, 3 to 4 for gusset, but really supple
Leather pattern ? For sale?
Yup. See description for links.
Where do you get your rivets?
I Don't understand how ti use r
The double stripe of dot in the central stripe
I keep trying that snap of the fingers thing to get double. But all it does is annoy the dogs. 😆

Hello, how are those pockets so you are from what skin? In fact, how did you use your skin? I'm not good at English
the finger snap isn't working, what am I doing wrong? :)
Hard to explain over messages. Perhaps not the right sounding snap.
Oh, that looks SO simple to do! I'd stab myself, repeatedly, trying to sew, sew the wrong holes together, cut the lacing too short, spill dye everywhere and end up trashing the whole thing. But that's just me. :-)

wax natural synthetic thread...... do you use that thread on genuine Imitation leather too? .that killed me Bro your a hoot and love your stuff

"...natural artificial ..." :)
🇷🇺👍
Yaa, stick to regular leather stuff.....dont make leather axe ever again!!!!
And btw blame Lorgar
The finger snap trick doesn't work I've tried it and I still only have 1 brain cell
Balling it up didn't work either! I think that I'm doing it wrong!
