In this video I forge a traditional hasp latch using only hand tools. A quite simple project but it still involves a lot of steps and techniques.

What really sets you apart from similar channels is that you showcase the sort of day-to-day projects that take up most of a blacksmith's time. It's really interesting stuff. Like forging a counter sink. That was just cool, and looked easier than using a drill bit (if less precise).
Torbjörn, I work at an axe/knife throwing range in Canada and we love your videos! I play your videos on the TV in the range and always see people, customers, members, employees getting sucked into watching you create these legendary projects. Thank you so much, I'll keep showing as many of your videos as possible and spreading the word!
Ha ha, very cool. Thanks man!
@Lowtryx - Are you at Maniax in Montreal? I was there last week.

... g.
That’s the most beautiful door latch I have ever seen. Beautiful design, beautifully done.
Oj så många gånger jag tittat på denna video! Här finns så mycket information och väl utförd presentation, tack!
Kul, tack!
Our snowdrops are nearly finished already. :-( Worth a SUB. No brainless music, and no tiresome introduction telling us what we are about to see. An easy 10 minute watch... 20 minutes? Another good sign, well done, keep it up. Perfect YT stuff.
Exactly
I loved your video. No electro-music, no narration dribble, just a man who knows how to forge. Very refreshing.
Nel 1981 mi sarebbe piaciuto andare all'ottima scuola dei mestieri che c'era nel mio paese, qui in Calabria. Invece, ho proseguito con gli studi classici, la laure in giurisprudenza e, adesso, sono un modesto avvocato che tra una norma e un articolo di legge, si ricarica guardando video sull'artigianato. Però, solo i migliori come questo. Bravo ancora una volta Torbjörn Åhman!
I have watched this video many times every time I watch it I picked up some thing else that I missed before you were an absolute artist I’ve told you that several times I enjoy your work. Please keep the videos coming Wish you and your family the best in these crazy times And may God bless you and yours Theron
Wow, thank you!
Another great video, where a hammer, an anvil and a hot oven are making the music. And as usual, Torbjörn is a great conductor !! Symphony in Ferro.
Love the design, very beautiful made. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
So I was in the forge reproducing the project and my daughter came in. She started to help me. We stopped and just made a simple hook. We had big fun. She has had many problems over the years, but it all melted away and we made this little hook she was do proud of. Smiting is a wonderful thing, Thanks for supporting this craft Frank
That's great! Thanks
Excellent work, congratulations 👍👍👍
100% quality as usual. The Pine Tar looks nice. When I saw the paintbrush touching up where the old latch had been I thought to myself...Then I spit tea all over myself when you had painted the whole door. If you're going to do something, do it right. You do this well.
Ha ha, thanks!!
I'm so impressed by your craftman ship. Well done Torbjörn.
Beautiful! Love watching you work the metal from raw material to what you’ve imagined in your mind! 🤜🤛
If I go to your house someday, I don't want to know what's in the cabin, the latch is interesting enough for me, Hehehe ! Thanks for sharing !
That is the absolute coolest looking hasp that I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing it with us!
To go from 'concept' to 'execution' takes care and planning. You videos are rather 'deceitful' in that the 'idea' is rather clear, but your skill in production is sometimes 'hidden' from the viewer. This is rather wonderful skill and craftsmanship on demonstration here, and I love every minute of it. Wonderful you.
Thanks!
Hi Torbjorn, I am a woodworker and at times try to get creative with my projects. I really enjoy your creativity with metal.
Thank you!
Som vanligt den högsta möjliga kvaliteten på både hantverket och videoproduktionen. KZheads bästa smed!!
Tack!
I enjoy your videos, there is something cathartic about watching you work and how there is such a rhythm to how you take raw materials and turn them into something amazing and functional. Your level of expertise is over the top.
Just when I was thinking paint the door there you go, nice project great to see it done with just your hands, thanks!
Ничего не скажешь. Просто шедевр. Версия необычная. Сделано на века. Руки талантливые. Однозначно - лайк. Всех благ. Респект и уважуха.
I love that even your utilitarian items have some artistic flair. Keep up the great work. You're a joy to watch. Cheers!
I love your job, it's a real pleasure to watch!
Straight forward. Honest. Work. It's why I keep coming back. Thank You for sharing your craft with us.
Wow, guess we got all your snow here in MN this year, we are still 2 feet deep and have March and April to go. Nice work as always!
wow video quality is amazing
cara, esse video é maravilhosos, sem músicas, sem trilhas sonoras , somente a bigorna e o martelo, que coisa linda !
bem observado. Tem o som bg que reforça o entendimento da ação. Trilhas, efeitos imagéticos e de edição, roubam a atenção ao que se está mostrando. abçs
wonderful twenty minutes of pure art, thank you
The thoroughness at the end, painting the door around the new latch, is what separates people who are merely good at something and a true craftsman
Fantastic work! Thanks for the great extend you take for making this so enjoyable. The learning process goes along! And the plus is that there is no anoying music. Much apreciated.
your job is so fantastic i am your big fan
That is one of the coolest latches I have ever seen! Beautiful!
A beautiful looking latch. Thank you for demonstrating your skills, and also for your ability to encourage others to have a go at forge work.
I really like how all of the components of this were forged, including the staples. I'm in the process of opening a shop in Tennessee in the next year that provides custom carpentry, blacksmithing, and other custom products. Everyone makes knives and I've never had an interest in that path in blacksmithing. I prefer more useful products. I really like the large variety of items you make that are useful and can be used as a starting point for offerings. It's also refreshing to watch a smith instead of listening. Your hammer work says volumes more than a running commentary ever could.
Cool! Thank you so much!
Bravo master Thorbjörn!!! Perfect)))
Your videos (and workmanship) are fantastic! I could sit for hours watching you work and produce these works of art (and I am...). It's so satisfying to watch a true craftsman at work. Great stuff, keep them coming!!
Thank you!!!
Hello, Thank You very much for Your work, every video is fascinating, it is impossible to break away. I am a car mechanic (coachman), and the forge attracts - as art. It's incredible how a masterpiece appears from a piece of metal. Subscribed to Your channel. All blessings. Hello from Ukraine.
Thank you!
I absolutely love this latch, I need one for the shed!
Another wonderful video, thanks for providing such enjoyable content.
With the time delay between Sweden and Australia I’m usually able to enjoy my morning coffee with your new uploads. Always a great start to the day :)
Great!!
Loved the vid, nice to see new flowers popping up and snow shovels being put away. This will be a perfect project for my new shop in the spring.
Somehow your video's are so tranquil. Whenever my mind is racing I look at one of your video's and come back to earth and relax. It is so nice to see the whole process, from idea to completion. I could watch for hours and enjoy every bit of it!
Thank you John!
Damm. And again I fall to sleep during your video. It´s just so relaxing.
It´s always a pleasure to see your work,cheers from Portugal.
I will have to try this latch. Its.....classy. Thanks for all your videos!
esse ferreiro com esses videos recorda como se fabricavam as ferramentas antes da tecnologia de hoje ele esta de parabens por resgatar essas lembranças
beautiful work!
Beautiful. I love the freedom your skill gives you. "I need a latch. Let's make a latch."
I like that you didn't use screws, i sometimes use a wall plug to nail into to keep that look rather than use a modern looking screw
I served my apprenticeship as a blacksmith ,long since retired ,only simple when you know what your doing.👍totally enjoyed it. first thing you do in make all your own tools.
It was really relaxing watching you forging this very beautiful latch.
Well done my friend. You’re good at doing what you do!
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm starting my workshop. Your job is incredible and I learn a lot from you. Thank you!
Thanks. Good luck!
Omg,this is way better than buying the same kind of locking mechanism at the store!this has style to it!!!
That is awesome. Beats any old hasp from a hardware store.
great job, only hammer, steel, anvil, sounds so nice. thanks for posting
I think that latch will outlast the building! Great video, thanks Cheers from Tokyo!
I especially liked the ballpien countersink technique.
Love it!
Mr. Åhman you're brilliant. I'm addicted to your videos. Never stop posting...love from India.❤️
Your work is worthy of praise. I like people like you. The work should be done from the heart. Thank You Sir
Ваше видео это бальзам для души! Впечатление от видео как будто посмотрел целый фильм, результат вашей творческой работы заслуживает уважения! В общем так держать! Успехов, здоровья Вам и вашим близким!!!
Thank you!!
What can I say ,Blacksmithing at it's best. I love to see you make a set of horseshoes if possible 👍
Thanks. Never made one... It takes years of training to do a proper one. I would probably look like a fool if I tried...
@@torbjornahman sorry didn't think. I was an apprentice farrier some 45 year's ago. Just love watching you working with your hands god bless 👍
Very nice Torbjörn! Good classic style and technique!
I love the premise for this video! Have a dodgy door latch? Make a new, more reliable one! I also love the text conversation between you and your friend regarding the brush.
Awsome! Hawe you tought about getting the master and apprentice letters? I think You are ready for them, actually.
Great work!
Superbe idée, j'aime beaucoup. Merci pour le partage :-)
simple, elegant and functional....Can't go wrong with that combo!
Once again, another work of art! and as always a well done video!
Thanks!
Fantastik antik hantverk, 👍🏽❤️👍🏽❤️👍🏽❤️ Museum kvalite👍🏽❤️👍🏽❤️👍🏽❤️
Whoever would have thought that so much banging of metal could be so relaxing. Amazing work again Torbjörn
once again...amazing piece of Art Craft! much better than anything you could buy in a big box hardware store!
We really need to text more lol. Great video as ever and I hope you like the new brushes? (when they arrive.)
:) :) I'm sure I will. Thanks
@@torbjornahman , Daniel Moss is one of the kuulest dudes for sure. He's one of the biggest reasons I am going to drive 1000 miles to meet him at Quadstate in September to watch his hammer classes. Good Lord willing and the creek dont rise lol Now if only we could convince you to come... O. M. Gosh that would be THE MOST AWESOME, SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC thing in the entire world of blacksmithing KZhead creators!!! Like a whole inch of the finest chocolate frosting on a primo cake! Anyhow, a man can dream cant he?? Peace and prosperity to you sirSir, Crawford out
I watched you making his brush Dan.
I loved the reference!
Where can I buy one?
The work of a Master my friend
Great video, I enjoy them so much because you give us the sizes of the materials that you use and it's great to see just hammer work. Thanks
Solo la música de las herramientas....y el pensamiento de un artista pragmático con la vida diaria....namaste maestro
You are a veru "vikings" artisan 😊😊😊
Parabéns Amigo ! Você Domina Mesmo Essa Arte de Ferreiro ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Cosme - São Paulo - Brasil
Very elaborate design for a simple function. Love it!
Lol the text to Daniel moss was hilarious 😂 better get on that Dan!
Ha ha, yes, I had to come up with something. The actual dialogue is a bit more "in depth" if I may say so... :)
@@torbjornahman I bet :-) Dan's a good chap and makes some nice tools maybe I'll have to commission my next brush from him as well..
Ein sehr sympatischer Mensch !
Beautiful result!
Thanks!!
found one in the river mud, sometime from 1750 to 1850, 11 3/4 inch long. now rust removed and wax. now, with your video, ii now know what it is. Thanks
Sweet! I will have to make one of these for our barn door! Been wanting to do that for over a year and didn't have the right idea! Yours is a great idea and it is not only functional but, nice looking, too! Thanks! I really enjoy your videos!
Great! Good luck and thanks!
Good job my friend 😉
no widać pasję w każdym walnięciu dzięki za pracę przy tym filmie oraz za pracę nad zamknięciem szacunek pozdrawiam z polski

...So cool to watch production in such an awesome trade, and the craftsman to do it justice!
Good job and creative 😁👍
Спасибо тебе за труд! С большим удовольствием смотрю твои работы! Удачи)
Работа хорошая а крепление к двери и раме некудышнее. Тихо гвоздодером вырвпть можно

your work is inspiring! I need to make one now :)

So..... perfect! )))
The thing that always most impresses me about good blacksmiths is they always make their own tools. Whether is a jig or something permanent, it’s always satisfying see you tackle a problem using your own tools.
That's the essence of blacksmithing. Making tools and solving problems.
O homem que não é artista é um arteiro,maravilhoso sua arte!!!
Man your not a blacksmith you are ( KICK ASS ARTIST ) GREAT JOB keep it up and going good video 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🤯
