Members Tina Posted September 30, 2011 Members Report Posted September 30, 2011 I got inspired by Toms helmets (not that mine is nearly as good) and I made this viking cerimonial helmet just for fun. All pieces that looks like bone is actually cernit clay that i have made. Inside the helmet I made it possible to change the size somewhat. The other picture is from my new hobby, carving cow hornes (and bones in the future) It's great fun except you have to be outdoors (it stinks burned hair) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Wishful Posted September 30, 2011 Members Report Posted September 30, 2011 Very cool, neat design on the helmet. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Looks great Tina looks like alot of different talents went into those things. What does your other half use to carve the horns with? That looks like something that would be fun to do occasionaly. Quote

Members Rhide Posted September 30, 2011 Members Report Posted September 30, 2011 Beautifully done, as usual! I agree, on both the Dremel and outside, for the horn carving. Pheeew! ( I make powder horns for black powder shooters, on occasion.) Quote
Members TN leather Posted October 1, 2011 Members Report Posted October 1, 2011 Any idea where I can get a generic pattern for the helm? Not sure about sizing and cuting the panels.

Members Tina Posted October 1, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks a load everyone :-) TN leather: I made my own pattern, trial and error as I went...I have never seen any patterns at all for these viking helmets, do they even excist??? Rhide: Cool, it seams that leather and horns is walking hand by hand (I know of several leatherworkers that carves horns/bones too). You have to post up photos somewhere :-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.
