In this video I make a taper die to be used under the power hammer and some initial forging tests. I hope to use this technique in future projects coming soon.
Special thanks to John Rigoni for inspiring me to take on this project.
Also, I would like to thank Pål Lien for sharing the experience he has had using roughly the same setup.

Thank you for the shout out :) I like the interchange kiss blocks, a good idea. I find rotating evenly clockwise/counterclockwise gives a uniform forging. Another cool feature is that the "tube" wall thickness can be whatever you want. Looking forward to what you make with it, I'm working on a candle snuffer idea at the moment w/ this tooling.
I really enjoy your work sir. Every video you produce makes me think I should try that too.
Just subbed! Good enough for Mr. Åhman, far more than good enough for me! 🙏 Blessed day possitive energy and well wishes Crawford out 🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Thanks John, yes there are definitely many useful applications for this technique. Some will probably argue that it can be machined to start with, but that's not so easy as it sounds.
You've got a great channel John, it definitely deserves more subscriber love.
A candle snuffer is a good idea, you never see or hear about those anymore.
When fellow KZheadrs inspire each other, wonderful things happen.
The toolmaking is as interesting as the things made with the tools. It is the essence of engineering. Terry Pratchett wrote in one of his books that with a forge you can make simple tools, and with simple tools you can make complicated tools, and with complicated tools you can make _anything_ .
Terry Pratchett was a smart man! Love his books.
Really admire your willingness to learn from others even though you're pretty top notch with your blacksmithing skills already Torbjorn. A true sign of a master smith at work.
You saythanks for watching . I say thank you for teaching 👍
I would love to see more nature/gardening content as well! Sweden is so beautiful, makes me wish I could travel. Greetings from Texas!
I would love to show more some day...
I agree!!
Nooooooooooo I want to see the second part!!
Watch the framing chisel build I only watched this to see how he got the hole up the middle lol lathe by looks not punched
We all have someone else to thank for our lives. Right? I hope many boys and girls get inspired by u my friend across the sea 🌊…
In USA, we have Husqvarna Chain saw but not oven. Such a pretty place you have. Thanks for Sharing !!!
Always a good day when Torbjorn posts a video of his blacksmithing!
Funny, I found johns channel about a year after I found yours and thought how much you two seem alike. There’s a shared ability to come up with tooling and execute in such a way that inspires me. Very cool build!🤙🏽
Great, thank you!
Yet again, another wonderfully inspiring work of masterful craftsmanship Torbjorn, i just know your uploads heighten all your subscribers vibrations and not simply just mine. Can't wait for the sequel to appear. Thank you again Sir. Peace and Love to you and your's.
It really is inspiring friend, thank you for showing. I also did not know Husqvarna made ovens.
Great shout outs - Rigoni Ironworks, another great channel. (I always think Rigatoni because I am Italian) Super clean forgings. Timothy too, yet another great channel. Torbjorn, thank you for showing the creation of tooling and how to work with large equipment, besides the forging of a thing. It helps me grow in skill.
Great stuff. You have touched on two of my favorite things in life now, scythe blades and socket chisels. Thanks
You are a very inspiring channel and even though I am too old for this type of a hobby, I look forward to every single piece of content you make. My grandsons have attempted to do this and I have spent a lot of money on equipment for them and I appreciate the inspiration you have given them. Thanks for being amazing. I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and your family!
Wow, thanks Wesley!
É uma pena não ter vídeo seu todos os dias ! Muito bom , é uma terapia !
Yeah,looks like the beginning of countless tools!The picture in my mind makes a slick!
That is a great technique, it makes a easy & strong socket.
As a novice doing everything by hand I can say with ease that is one of the most phenomenal things I've ever seen, that same process would've taken me at least two days.
Yes, it's pretty cool, but hardly a traditional way of making a socket.
I wish I had seen this earlier. I was doing this last night. You and rigoni are my favorites. Excellent video as always.
Sir I 💯 percent love and respect your work., I try to remember all your teaching Thanks and wishing you any your family good health
Jag väntar i månader för att se dina nya videor.
Wonderful. Cannot wait to see the final result
Thank you for sharing,It is a joy to watch a professional at work
Great project, can't wait to see it used again
Very nice build sir! I am looking forward to seeing what you intended to make. Not to mention trying the die for my new hammer.
That chipping hammer you made is working great!
I couldn't build my socket Jig fast enough & it works fantastic! By far the easiest sockets that I've ever made. Greatly appreciate these video's brother. My first project was sockets for a few hewing spears that were ordered. From the USA.
Cool! I'm glad you found some use for it!
I do very much appreciate you doing these videos and sharing. Thank you.
Wow that’s so cool! I can see you using that technique a lot! Sweet!
Making the 'kiss blocks' was a good improvement. John's videos have a similar style to your own- excellent camera work so we can see what he is doing and no unecessary chatter!
well that works beautifully...especially when combined with a bit of patience and a Torbjorn
Como siempre un excelente trabajo. Felicidades por tu por tus vídeos, tomaré un buen aprendizaje de ellos. Muchas gracias y felicidades de nuevo. Soy Pedro desde España.
Interesting, I enjoyed watching this process all come together; thanks for taking the time to share with us. Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Many thanks!
Very nice, and left us with a cliff-hanger, lol. All good though, and love the intermission filming of the garden. It's beautiful.
Amazing and remarkable craftsmanship as always
This is helpful as I have been trying to make dues for my power hammer Thanks Frank
Nice die. Lie Nielsen still makes socket chisels using the Stanley 750 design. Tom, the owner, said that the socket chisels are significantly more difficult to manufacture. He didn't go into details, but now, seeing this video, I can understand why.
I don't think this is the only way to make them but yes, it takes a bit more effort.
So relaxing and inspiring. And it’s so refreshing how you identify all those clever artists that inspire you as well. I’m looking forward to subscribing to them as well. 👍👍😎👍👍
So inspiring! Another tool coming up in the Arsenal.
Hi ,a good time spent together in your nice workshop with new technical inf . Good luck and next video!
I missed this video much. Thank you Torbjorn!
You and john are precisionists 👍
This is pure and simple therapy for me. It’s the small things like the sound of the steel when it’s placed on the anvil. The little nature scenes of your beautiful homestead are very welcome. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for this. Perhaps some socket chisels? Warm regards to you and your family from Alabama. Robert.
Thank you Robert!
Finally an answer to how I can make high quality chisels. Now all I need is a power hammer lol
Great set up. Looking forward to seeing what your end result will look like.
Always look forward to your excellent videos!
Amazing socket at the end. Timber framing chisels? Slick? Can’t wait to see. 👍🏻👍🏻😀
I think it's a great job, I see it very useful. Thanks for your videos Torbjörn Åhman
I'm a blacksmith and enjoy watching your channel. Waiting for other videos about the pre-ada. Thank you and good luck
I like both channels cause you both put out clean forged work
Awesome, that would make a great spear. I really enjoy the content. Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Obrigado Sr. Torbjorn Ahman. Seus vídeos são muito agradáveis e instrutivos. 🇧🇷 Brazil.
That’s some great work! Thanks and God Bless you sir!
Never seen a power hacksaw before pretty cool.
I love this creative/intellectual cross pollination!
Tor. your alot like the bee, hardworking and you like flowers, good job , as usual. Ron
Oh wow that was awesome. I have always wondered how that was done. I've seen a lot of what they call a seamless socket tool. But I had no idea how you would make it. Very interesting lesson. I could watch your videos for hours lol great video
Thanks. Yes, this is a true seamless one... I guess many you see are actually welded. Strengthwise it can't get much better than this.
Amazing job, as always! thanks so much.
Thank you, I'm inspired. A nice touch to acknowledge natures wonder, saying many things. As I'm currently working on arrowhead designs these techniques have got me thinking. I'm seeking a medieval look yet adapted for modern field use. Hmmm interesting , cheers.
It's interesting to see how different smiths approach tooling to achieve the same task. The chisel will be a beaut when it's finished.
Very nice video as always. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Great video as always you never fail to interest and inspire me ❤️
Another wonderful video and tool making. Very cool!
Your videos are always so so relaxing to watch. I cannot put in to words how good you are in every video, but just know you are king 👑
Thank you so much!
Saw rigoni ironworks a goodwhile back and really liked the techniques! enjoyed watching your adaptation!
What a great little jig. and a wonderful video as always.
Another fine video, thank you sir.
You are a talent I love to watch. Remind me of a guy in my welding class. For Valentine’s Day he gave his girlfriend a dozen roses made in stainless steel. He curved each pedal for each rose. Then he did a steer’s head, I was in awe like I am in awe about the items you create
Muy buen trabajo! Ingenioso Torbjörn, excelent!
Brilliant Video-Top Knotch
Thanku for doing this video, it has shown me an example of what the Tool will do at that pitch, previously have made a Tool: @ 25° & 40°, it is a slow process building tools and equipment for Blacksmithing, I enjoy Your videos.
Thanks!
The power of a lathe in the right hands.
Your garden looks beautiful this year
Summer was came how nice. And congradulations it was well done.
That's a sweet bandsaw.
Candleholders, rocketnozzles, or drinkingdevices. You can do a lot with that tool.... Always a pleasure to see your videos, it looks so easy and everyone who has a relation to hot iron knows that itś NOT.
I follow all 3 of ya ... And yours turns out perfect. Great job and Great video 👍
Bravo...semplice e funzionale 👍💯
nicely done as always!
Excellent 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
Best part of the project is Devilment, Thank you Sir for sharing . :)
Was using an old wooden handled wood chisel today whose handle came loose and I was wondering how the tapered hollow portion of the chisel into which the handle fit was made. Now I know. Amazing! Great video👍👍👍I liked the dead heading of the rhododendrons too. I just did that a couple weeks ago. 😉😉😉
It probably wasn't made like this tho
Excepcional guerreiro!! Tiro o meu chapéu pra você. 🤔😃😃👏👏
*- Clever. Simple. Just a bit of inspiration needed for engineering's forethought to build a workable jig.*
C'est tellement propre !!
Excellent travail, thanks
Bumble bees and wild roses, beautiful!
It is! Thanks!
I have already thought what I can use them for . Trick work of both the tooling and work on the material.
Espectacular trabajo y siempre tan prolijos y delicados sus trabajos veo todos sus videos walter de argentina
Вот что значит грамотный подход и прямые руки! Молодец! Супер!
That's a really clever tool!
Como siempre un excelente trabajo
Aha! Another nice bit of work Torbjorn! I thought there would be a reason for this method in future videos :D to which I'm very much looking forward :)
thank for other video, I see video whit a coffee, is really chilling
Great!
Can you pass on 1% of your talent please? As ever you are an inspiration, thank you for your videos and your lifestyle, I love them both.
Ciao carissimo, ottimo quello stampo che hai costruito, hai veramente ottime idee. Un forte abbraccio .
respect to Your work! Just great, a real Master 🥳👌🙌
E sempre un piacere vedere i tuoi video bravo come sempre
