Im in the south part of Denmark in an old bronze age ceremonial site.
In this video i will show you how to make your own "viking" lantern using very simple tools.
This type of lamp is not know from the viking age in Scandinavia, but it is used widely among reenactors in the viking community. It is relatively easy to make, pretty safe since the flame is closed in and wind doesnt blow out the flame if used outside or in the opening of a viking tent.
Except from my modern mora knife, a modern spiral drill and the scribe ALL tools and gear used in this video is based on actual finds from the viking age and is reproductions of tools and gear. Most is made by me.
I used some scraps I had lying around. The top disc is beech wood, the bottom disc ash, the round sticks red alder and the wedges ash. There is many ways to make this type of lamp (try and do a youtube seach) but this way made sense for me and the posibillities my tools provide me. I am especially fond of my replica of the little hack saw found in the tool chest of Mästermyr. It does such a great job for many little cuts in both wood, bone etc.
Raw hide is a great material. Basically animal skin, dehaired and scraped for fats and membranes and then streched and dried. It is hard as cardboard when dry but becomes flexible in any direction when wet, stretches, and the dries up and tightens up again. And its more or less transparent.

Recording gear:
Canon 600d
kit lens, 50mm 1,8 and 70-300mm zoom lense for wildlife
DJI mini SE drone
Boye recording mic
The music is a traditional russian tune I recorded on my homemade Hurdy Gurdy.
The lyrics in the russian version speaks of rising spring, the melting snow, the forest and the nature returning to life after winter sleep and the wakening of the bear. Its a tune that is often in my head this time of year in early March.

I admire your tenacity and attention to detail, using primitive tools and fabrication methods. The hike through the countryside and sightings of the animals there is wonderful! I would be very interested in videos showing the making of the tools. As soon as I can procure suitably sized rawhide, I will use this instruction to make a lantern. Thank You for sharing this with me. Skal!

thank you for the kind words Erik. about making tools, i promise i will try to do more of that. I am planning one about making a pump drill. But most of my tools are metal and iron, and i need them in high quality and my own skills are not there yet so it is better for me to buy from blacksmiths. I hope you find some suitable rawhide and make a great lantern.) all the best

the rumor/myth about this "Viking lamp" most likely dates from when the medieval center in Guldborgsund opened back in the late 1980s ... a historian brought a lamp from Norway from around the 18th century with him at the opening, and a American film crew that was on the spot, to make a documentary about the Trebuchet construction (the biggest one in the world). Their film and pictures might have helped to spread the "idea" that this was a lamp from the Viking/Middle Ages...🤷‍♂ fed video, man får helt lyst til at pakke sine ting og flytte ud i naturen ...👍 many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work 👌

Beautiful video. soothing music, great location, and a wonderful, useful project. but of course, the highlight for me was that adorable little sewing knife. just fantastic.

I love that little knife. Bought the blade from a blacksmith and made the knife myself. The fact that it folds makes it great to take along and store inside small bags or pouches. And I keep it razorsharp:) im happy to hear you appreciate it:)

My sincerest thanks for taking us on another one of your wonderful adventures! You got some beautiful shots of the wildlife there. I think this is the first time that I've ever seen someone build one of these lanterns with traditional tools. You did a great job of it! And I adore your Mästermyr hacksaw - did you make it yourself? Is the sawblade also traditional, or a modern blade?

@RAMUNI-Viking Жыл бұрын

Thank you Ingvar. Im very happy you appreciate the video. The hacksaw I bought at a Viking market from a German merchant. Im pretty sure the blade is not modern. But not 100% sure. It cuts well but not as well as a modern blade and also is not change able.

Where did you get the rawhide that thin?

@RAMUNI-Viking Ай бұрын

I buy a whole sheet (calf) from my local leather and Crafts supplier that is Like this. It is lntended for drum skin.

@robertgross1655 Жыл бұрын

🎩Hi. Seems very easy to make. Only one problem is, in England the only place you can get rawhide is from a pet shop in the form of dog chews, and it’s only thin strips. About 3” wide.

@RAMUNI-Viking Жыл бұрын

Its is fairly easy to make. Especially with modern tools also. Its possible to see Them together but I bought a while hide from a musical shop meant for a drumskin for tradition traditional drums like Bodhran or shama drums. Maybe thats the direction to look for largwr pieces. It gets pricy though. But there a good few lamps from a whole goat hide

Does your pet shop sell the rolled up rawhide chews? They look like a little log. Soak them overnight and unroll them to get a decent sized piece.
