Here I show how I make a slitting chisel. This particular tool is meant to go quite deep into a hole hence the long working end.

What kind of wood did you use to make the handle?
Oh, that's just pine! A handle on a top tool like this doesn't need to be fancy. Sooner or later it will break and should be easy to replace.
@@torbjornahman If I were to make say, an axe or a hammer. Do you think birch wood would work to use as a handle?
I think it would. Here we often use ash or beech for handles.
@@dankuspanku4650 Querido amigo. não me referi ao cabo da ferramenta, e sim ao desejo de ver você fazer um martelo para carpinteiro. Abraço.
Do you usually wedge the handles of your struck tools?
What an absolute thing of beauty. As a carpenter I really respect your use of woodworking tools while making and fitting the handle. So many blacksmiths just jump on the belt sander. I know we talked about this before, well I'm still waiting for you to make an adjustable block plane start to finish. Showcase your myriad talents and skills. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for letting us see.
Thank you! I have just recently started to get aquatinted with the world of wooden planes. Quite fascinating and not very complicated when you know how they work. I would love to make one or two some day!
You call it a splitting chisel, I call it art. People are fortunate when they find their true calling in life, sir, I believe you have found yours. Beautiful work, and thank you for sharing this with us.
"can you pass me the art" "the what?" "the art! it's over there on the art shelf with all my other art" "?????"
Excelllllllllent photography. Particularly the Love symbol in Hot Iron was mind-blowing
Finally a real craftsman that knows a file is not a saw, that planes are laid on the side not the sole and how to protect the anvil face from damage! Sir you are awesome!
Thank you!
Between plowing my driveway and cooking Thanksgiving dinner I've watched this video twice,twice yesterday. Trying to decide what I enjoy more the hefty chuff chuff chuff of the air hammer or the clack clack clack of the spring hammer. In America today most of us are giving thanks for who we have and what we have in our lives, and eating to much. I have much to be thankful for and I include all the artisan's who practice their craft and those who post on YT. You bring such wonder and knowledge to people of a vastly veryed backgrounds and this is something to be Thankful for. Your splitting hammer is truly a work of art and to use it in work is to honor the history and craftsman of the past. To you and yours a warm and healthy winter season.
Thank you so much Jeff!! Happy Thanksgiving
Forging is an art form but many people don't realise it. Great work and beautiful tool as always.
I really appreciate how you make all your tools work for you. You make it look effortless in everything you do. I know it's not effortless but because you know your trade and your tools so well, you make it all look so easy. You are a true craftsman.

Legend has it that Torbjörn only started with a forge and one hammer, and then proceeded to make all the tools he needed himself from there on out. 😉

What a work of art. 👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻 just gorgeous. Hot steel never had it so good; to be pierced by such a hammer!
Having watched your channel for some years, I believe you're one of my favorites. You have an unmatched aesthetic throughout the entire forging process, from beginning with raw stock to the finished item. Your videos are filmed and edited well, and you've gotten better over time, I especially enjoy the fun little editing tricks you do from time to time. Keep up the good work sir
