Not sure if I'm more impressed about your blacksmithing skills or ability to grow perfect grapes and melons.
Seriously what a cool greenhouse! How big is that greenhouse i wonder
@@MrJk009 If you look through his videos you will find a video on building it.
Melon is one thing. Growing melons in Sweden....
Just was about to write the same thing.
If he went to north Africa and grow perfect grapes like this i think he will be millionaire.
Nothing more heartwarming than seeing a young boy helping his father at the forge.
best part of the build was having your son help ! My 23 y.o. is finally wanting to smith with me, but he wants to make knives, which I have not done. Good time for both of us to learn !
Great! Thanks
This guy is awesome! Super skills, no talking and no music. Perfect.
Makes me smile, to see you teaching your children skills that will serve them well in the future... A wonderful journey yet again TA, thanks for letting us come along
Thank you!
@@torbjornahman I pictured a young Torbjön as it was passed on to him, tho in clogs instead of crocs
I'm a simple man - I see a new video from Torbjorn - I click like. Respect for your work and best wishes from Russia!
This is Olympic Gold medal of blacksmithing. Zero wasted effort. Form, function, artistic expression, skillful abilities give the impression of complete ease with the medium. Outstanding as always. Rewatching this for the 10/something time.
Wow, thank you so much Philip!
@@torbjornahman I have the utmost respect for your understated approach and beautiful results. 30+ years as a finish carpenter 20+ years as a ceramicist, I aspire to produce my own pieces with a similar level of quality that you put into your work. My hat is off to you my friend.
Be sure to tell your son that HIS father has the coolest channel on KZhead. He seems to be the age to appreciate stuff like that. Flawless work as always- both hammer and video.
:) :) Thanks!
There are never too many hammers. )))All Scandinavians, historically, have a passion for hammers. Someday, Thorbjörn will make Thor's magic hammer.
He might already possess it?
Huge fan of this hammer, but I am a sheet metal worker. Go figure.
Точняк)
Never thought about this before, but i you're right... I'm scandinavian and i love hammers. But this cannot just be true for Scandinavians? What does the rest of the world do when they have to repair something, or destroy? Or when you're hunting seals and polarbears? Or go fishing? Arguing with your neighbour? Hammers are used for almost anything...
Joar in UK the hammer jokingly is referred to as tool number 1. 😁
How good is to see a son learning with his father. Cheers from Brazil!
Torbjörn, I have much work to complete yet I spend hours on hours watching. I'm pretty sure I'm just about completed your entire video library. Thanks Dan
Wow! Thanks
*Yup. Nice hammer. Nice oval handle... correct grain orientation and all. Nice wedges and grain alignment. My body feels good watching you work... and takes in the healing of it all. Thanks to you, Torbjörn*
Great, thanks Robert!
And who said using a power hammer isn't blacksmithing. You've got some serious skills man. That's some very delicate work on that beast of a machine.
The future of Swedish blacksmithing looks good
@@leonidasnorway9821 No, he's not...
There is something so amazingly seductive about the sound of a Bêchè air hammer! I could listen to it all day. That hammer is so amazingly beautiful, not to mention the grapes and melon. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Another blacksmith in the making and a fine young lad too. Your work is truly an art form. GOD has richly blessed you and your family. Please make sure you are all ready to meet HIM each day. "Boast not for tomorrow for sufficient for the day is the evil thereof."
Start them young. Love seeing the younger folks learning ...he will remember working with you for the rest of his life! Nice job.
I love your videos! Especially how you show the passing of time by showing different scenes like trimming grapes and looking at the scenery
The Man , The Blacksmith , The Gardener , and most awesome MAGICIAN 🙌
This is one of the few channels that I hit the like button before the video starts. Always great content.
:) Great! Thanks
Nice job! I like that you're teaching your son the trade as well. There is a real lack of passing our skills on to our children and we need to do more of it. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful workmanship and your son has grown so much.
Thanks, yes he does apparently! :) We don't notice...
@@torbjornahman I have a question to ask you how hard would it be for someone with less experience to make a kitchen knife or any tools 🔧 i could get large lift springs from big trucks and small lift trucks springs hi 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW I hope you understand what I have said to you you also work with lift springs from trucks 🚚
Not much on KZhead gives me as much joy as watching your videos! Thank you so much
That's... great!! Thank you!
As a sheet metal worker, I really appreciate the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into making this hammer. It looks awesome and I’d love to have it.
Cool, thanks!!
Any craftsman would be proud to have and use such a work of art.
I like that you are teaching the future generation your skills, that is memories they will never forget! Awesome
Even your woodworking is superb. You are one remarkably talented individual. I am certain your parents and teachers are justifiably proud.
Outstanding video as always. Glad to see that a young blacksmith is willing to learn... Greetings from the watchmaker country 🇨🇭
:) Cool, thanks! Watches and small red multi tool knifes! :)
Sir, You are an artist. Your metal work is fascinating. Additionally, your word working skills are really impressive.
I will forever drop what im doing to come watch Torbjorn videos.
Be careful! :)
was nice seeing the lad helping out too, maybe he will enjoy making stuff with dad in future.
You are the Master of your tools!! You even have great finesse with your power hammer. Your yard and greenhouse are absolutely beyond description Be Safe Keep them coming
I will try! Thank you!
Beautiful work, as always. You watched as little too much “This old Tony” for the beginning :-)
Thanks!! :) :)
There is no such thing as "too much ToT" !!
Örjan Gustavsson 100% agree :-D
I don't know why but it's so relaxing watching your viedos. Great job and as always nice work. Keep them coming.
Great! Thanks
Schön, wenn der Sohn schon das gleiche Interesse zeigt und vom Vater lernt!.😃 Ich schau mir schon seit einiger Zeit Ihre Videos an und bin begeistert von Ihrem Können. Sehr schöne Dinge die Sie Schmieden!. Bin schon gespannt auf das nächste Video und schau mir so lange die älteren Videos an. Alles Gute für Sie und Ihre Familie. Gruß, Erwin
Danke schön Erwin!
Glad to see you teaching your son about blacksmithing. He'll make a fine blacksmith, just like his father.
I like your rough scales with polished metal highlights style, its really good
Jag behövde dom här 23 minuterna av njutning, det är en fröjd att se dig skapa, i och för sig vardagliga ting, men på en så mycket högre nivå. Tack
Åh, tack!!
Hello TA. I rewatch your videos from time to time. They relax me and help me sleep. Please do not mistake this as an insult, it is a sincere compliment. Thank you. Regards from India.
I knew it! Blacksmiths are magicians!
When you cut your mellon open, I was surprised to see you didn't have a self made chef knife. Maybe a project in the future?
That's on the list, somewhere... :)
The door of the carpenter is broken ( Arabic proverb) hhh
@@mohammedzeco8006 In the blacksmith house, a wooden knife (argentinian proverb)
I think we are seeing one of those universal sayings: in the UK the saying is 'The shoemaker's children go barefoot'
Blacksmith's mare walks barefoot (czech proverb).
You've brought my heart rate down to 60 beats a minute. Truly a Zen Master at -work- play.
I love the fact that you are teaching your kid to blacksmith too. You two make quite a team.
Iv'e never seen that technique used with two wedges before it looks like it works great. Amazing job!
I have seen a simmilar technique where the second wedge is steel, but the part about using wood for both was new to me.
Does my heart good to see the young one involved you have skills that I hope will be handed down if at all possible.Happy Trails
Nice hammer head! As a retired tin smith, a well made and nicely balance head allows longer, more comfortable use. It was also nice to see the proper handle grain-to-head alignment and hanging of the head. Well made handles are equally important for comfort and long tool life. Glad to see "Junior" getting involved in a honourable trade. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
That's great to hear! Thank you!
Great job !! Father training his little boy, was a hearty sight !! You have the perfect set of tools, but the mighty anvil stole my heart !!
Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Thanks for sharing.
Nice hammer and nice fruits. And you have an adept apprentice.
Torbjorn, this is amazing work. The detail you put into the throat is very impressive, I always enjoy your work. But more impressive is a father sharing his craft with his child. My hat off to you good Sir. Thank you.
Mr Blacksmith, i was pleased yet again with your video. I look forward to them often. It is a pleasure to see your work and quality improve over time. I was delighted when i saw you harvest the fruit of grapes and melon. It added a nice segment to the video. It was lovely, and i bet the sugars in the melon was delicious. There is nothing like the taste of fresh fruit and hard work that onesself builds and grows for himself. It was also delightful to include your son in blacksmithing. I am sure it was and will be a memorable experience for him as he grows in life. I remember being a young boy watching and working with my father on engines. It was fun for me to learn to apprentice and watch in awe as my father move cast iron when for me, it was immovable. Perhaps one day your son will help you forge as much as i helped my father. A son should, i have always felt, learn and obsrrve the work of elders, be ready to assist and hand the next tool needed for the task to be completed. Such is the nature of good learning, to be ready and know what is to be used. In all Mr Blacksmith, another very well made and planned video. Excellent video footage and content. Cheers! 😊
Wow thank you so much!
@@torbjornahman You are very welcome
Superb from start to finish a real craftsman at work...............Thanks for your time
Very good metal texture you achieve.
Hey Thunderbear, I envy you not only the art and skill you have in making simple and complicated objects but also your wonderful greenhouse surrounded by the beautiful nature of your land, a sign that what my grandfather said: "Love and respect for plants are a clue and measure of the degree of civilization of a people" is absolutely true.
Thank you so much Nicola! We are blessed in many ways.
Mad respect. Not only are you a blacksmith of great renown, but 18:00 + shows some seriously advanced woodworking skills. Very well done. You, sir, are a consummate craftsman, in all regards.
Usted amigo reune la tecnica y la sabiduria de la sencilles, mas aun compartiendolo con un niño resulta mucho mejor. Saludos desde Monterrey NL, Mexico....
Lika fantastiskt hantverk som vanligt! 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼🇸🇪
Tack!!
Beautiful , especially not only teaching your viewers, but passing on the craftsmanship to the next generation!
Ein Meister in seinem Fach.Es macht Freude diesem Schmied bei seiner Arbeit zuzuschauen.
The caliber of your craftsmanship is amazing, keep up the great videos.
Beautiful fruits both the edible fruits and the fruits of labour. Thank you !!
Great to see you teaching your son!
Poetry with an hammer. And such healthy plants you have.
Like how your furnace is traditionally back to I don’t know when ! with good exhaust , and making tool I hope there’s still tradespeople still working.
Another beautiful took Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
This is your best design so far. Great lines, a lovely finish and that handle..wow
Wow, thanks!
There are so many things right about this video - blacksmithing skill, growing his own produce, teaching his son the trade ... and even his oven his made by Husqvarna. It does not get more Swedish than that. :)
Ha ha... Thanks!
Virkelig flot håndværk. Respekt.
Torbjorn your a wizard with steel 👍👍👍👍
I like how you get the kids involved. Handing down all your knowledge to the next generation
I like the polishing on the two ends of the hammer. A better polish leaves less imprints on the metal being struck. Great example of offset turning! And perfect grain orientation on the handle. When I make handles I find it as fast to rough them out on the bandsaw and finish them by hand as you ended up doing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Mark
Thank you! It's interesting to do the offset turning but it's not particularly fast or easy to do...
Just beautiful, as usual...Thank´s for the awesome work.
Thank you and WELCOME TO JUNIOR BLACK SMITH. GREETINGS. 🌹
Never tire of watching you sir. Thank you for the videos. I hope u and ur family are well and stay healthy. Here in the states it’s a mad hse of disease. Americans just think they have the freedom to spread disease, and they have. Now I live in a state where over 15,000 people a day are testing positive for Covid-19...its stupid...keep safe and stay well! Blessings again to you and ur family!
Thanks! We try our best!
Shame that I can hit the like button only once per video, I've watched this three times now!
Symphonie of the sledgehammer in Sweden autumn beginning Sound of no silence Good job
In a time of bad Chinese products, this is priceless.
I agree, very inspiring
You nation can't even produce masks. Such a loser. SB.
This is miles beyond in quality and craftsmanship compared to Chinese products.
You're right - this is a work of art, not a product. Not really comparable to Chinese products, or any other "products" for that matter. There's at least a couple of hundred dollars in labor in this hammer, not to mention the value of the artistry/craftsmanship. And the Chinese products aren't so much "bad", they're just low on the cost/value curve - and that's what a lot of people want.
I can not agree more...to me this is an art and each piece of work is a priceless master piece
Another great project providing a useful good looking tool as a reward. Thanks.
That;s a beautiful piece, Torbjorn. It's especially good to see your boy getting involved and learning traditional skills.
Thank you!
Автор, Вы молодец!!! У Вас просто золотые руки! 👌👏😉
Why people dislike your video ? The title says MAKING A HAMMER, did they expected a dinosaur ?
Because a hammer is the basic tool needed to forge or build yet it's done mostly by a machine
Some people look for things to complain about.
A Trade that built the World :), That my friend is a well crafted Hammer. (The only Tinning Hammer I've seen Fabricated on KZhead:)) Being a "Tinnsmen" of 25+ years I appreciate your craftsmanship, Thank-you for sharing :) Also nice to see the kiddo gettin involved in the trade:)
Oh, thank you Roger! I don't know much about tinsmithing, I could use a crash course...
Of course I love the blacksmithing (who doesn't), but I also want to express gratitude for a fringe benefit I got from this channel. After seeing it in several baking videos, I decided to get the Ankarsrum (Assistent) kitchen mixer for myself, and boy howdy, that's one fine machine.
Very cool! There are a bunch of accessories for grinding meat, making sausages and bits for separating the soft and hard parts of fruit (don't know the name). We use it to make our own apple sauce.
I found a tinning hammer at age 8 or 9 never knew what it was … still have it. Now I'm 63. Some things seem to stick around.
Gorgeous as always. 👍🏻
Another beautiful creation any craftsman would be proud to own. Awesome grapes too!
Always cures my anxiety these videos
0:40 Just a wizard!
Beautiful hammer, good looking fruit and handsome future blacksmith!
Nice greenhouse. Also good too see you teaching the next generation.
It is most definitely nice to see that your son is taking an interest in your trade.
Very nice! Who are the people that press the "dislike" button? I just don't understand. .. Thanks Thunder Bear.
Me too....
Beautiful work. Very nice garden as well.
Having been a tinsmith for 30 plus years I am glad to see you make this. Love the design. Want me to test it for you?👌😊
Great, thanks!
for me, you are the best blacksmith in the world.
som vanligt mycket bra!!
просто божественно ....мастер лучший !!!
Один из лучших ! Хороших мастеров много , они не все на ютубе !
@@PutJizniMetallista согласен !
I always like to watch someone make things on their own. I've learned many things from KZhead. The two things that were to my advantage was how to heat treat and temper metal parts, for making the mounts for a larger gas tank on my motorcycle, the hinge for my solo seat and the cross bar to mount the two springs under the back of my seat. The other was how to do a perfect paint job on the gas tank using spray paint. For the record, I'm not a real wizard, it's just a nickname I was given as I'm self-taught in many things that have been useful not only in my life but also for family and friends as I saved them money from not hiring a professional to do something.
BEAUTIFUL WORK on the hammer and the grapes and melons.
О-О-О молодое поколение подключились. Уважаю. Красиво работаете. 👏👏👏
