As promised in this video I make a brush handle for Daniel Moss. He made a handle for me and now it's my turn to return the favor!

That is very nice! I don’t like the screws though, I would have used slotted screw heads.
Thanks. Sure, but this is a everyday tool, so this makes it a little easier to change and remove multiple times.
Torbjörn Åhman Good point!
I dunno, I thought that at first, but they're nicely centred and the different colour makes them a feature.
There are black torx screws as well.. would probably look nice.
Erik I agree!
Every time... Every time Mister Ahman gets us with his little tricks and tips ! The 45° marks to establish a nice pointy shoulder, great simplicity, great efficiency. Amazing work Bravo
Thank you Gabriel!
My question is what did you use to align to the chalklines as the index on the handle? (eyeball along an edge, or, mark, or?)
@@markschweter6371 I think he just eyeballed the centerline of the handle with the chalk line, then pushed the handle forward until it contacted the side of the anvil.
That is one for the notebook for sure. I never saw it before and I’m sure I would have either guessed at it or tried forging it with a set hammer from the top. I believe he simply lined it up with the center.
Yes, that was a nice trick, with a neat result to boot ^^ … learn something new every time ;)
I love to watch you work. I would watch you make anything.
It's really cool when KZheadrs help each other and make crossover videos
I feel honoured that Torbjorn would help me out. Thank
@@danielmoss2089 just watched the video of you making the handle for Mr.Ahman,what really gave me a grin was how your dialogue is quite the same as the big Swede uses in most of his video work but in Mr.Ahmans video I think there was more talking in this one than all the rest of his videos combined!Long story short I really enjoyed seeing two different men's take on what was essentially the same project.I thank you both for showing your extrodinary skills and making the rest of us (hopefully!)better smiths!
Everything this guy makes is pure genius. Who cares what screws he uses or how things dont satisy others. This guy creates things from nothing, the thumb downers are only jealous!!!
That set-down 90 degree detail is awesome!
I think I learned more in five minutes than I have with any other KZhead video. Thanks for the tutorial!
Wow, thank you!!
Wow, the idea to do those 90 degree steps at the connection of each circle with the handle astonished me, it's so clever the way you did it! Beautiful video, as always :)
that part also made me go :O
That is a beautiful handle ! It should last through hundreds of brushes !
That's the idea!!
Another absolute delight, and as an ex-firefighter, really pleased to see your message about disposing of paper / rags used with linseed oil.Too few people, even today, realise the hazard it poses.
Thanks!
Nice to know that you can speak, out of all the Smith's on KZhead you are by far the best.
You turn something as mundane as a brush handle into a work of art. Very lovely. Thank you.
Man, you make something simple like a handle a work of art. You can tell you’re a true craftsman
That jug of linseed oil should get it's own play button from KZhead by now :)
Man of few words....Greetings from the southern United States!
You are so skilled that everything you make looks like art. At least the bandaid on your finger shows that you must be human like the rest of us.
Thanks! Old kitchen injury :) :)
It is interesting to watch you work with the hot iron. My grandfather was the last in our family to make real use of a forge and anvil. He would become a front row ticket holder for your videos. Your picking up the pieces that you are working on reminded me of a joke that was told numerous times by Grandpa about a kid hanging around a blacksmith shop. He was fascinated by the making of shoes for a horse. As a shoe was finished, the smith would flip it on the dirt floor to cool. The kid was hovering around the shoes. He had been warned about burning his fingers. Finally the kid grabbed a hot shoe, to which the smith stated; “Burnt ya didn’t it?” The kid replied that he had not gotten burned, but it did not take him long to look at a horse shoe. I thank you for the sharing of your skills in creating useful and artistic wares.
Great story! Thanks
Man that's a gorgeous handle. I like the countersunk screws. Your videos are getting better and better, thanks for all of the hard work!
Thank you!!
I love that handle. Its beauty is in its simplicity
Nice touch with the arrow at the 90 degree just sets it of . Happy Trails
You will never find a handle that beautiful in any store.
Making even a simple handle a piece of art. Amazing.
that is a thing of beauty! i wish i had an internet buddy to share crafts with, but i frame houses, and i don't think the post office would be able to handle my offerings.
:)
Sometimes the way you work seems a little counterintuitive to me, but then I see how it works out, and I learn a lot from that. Thanks for all your videos.
That's what makes blacksmithing so interesting
Nice to hear your voice 👍 Greetings from Germany
@timothydalto90 I agree with you. It adds a small touch of personal connection. I also mentioned the idea on an earlier video.
Very nice handle I remember watching DANIEL making yours
Cool, thanks
This man really deserves more Patreon supporters than he has.
Thanks! :)
Videos that attract me most are those ones which need both woodw-working and iron forging...
At the beginning I thought "there's no way with this simple shape it will look better than the one he got", then watched the whole thing to be proven wrong. Amazing work, Sir!
Perfectly executed design. Rounded on the bottom for your fingers, and it even has a groove for your thumb to fit into. Maximum control with this handle, Thanks for the ideas you two.
That is perfection in its own right. Lovely
For an item that looks so deceptively simple , the detail is brilliant . I will have to be content with crafting pipe cleaner stick figures . Great channel and content . Thank you.
Thanks!
Very elegant solution the pointy bit.. to eliminate the stress riser and to add thickness and aesthetics.. Beautiful!
Yes, it's a pretty common thing seen on old ironwork like this.
Ah.. new to me. Still beautiful execution as always.
Oh! That's the favourite kind of black smithing! Find something you need and mould it out of a material you master. Nice craftsmanship!
You and Daniel both made very nice handles. The half diamond blend is a classy touch. Great job!
Thanks!!
I'd just like to say, I can't get over how clean your work is! It's so very impressive! 😊
Oh, thanks! If you have problems with hammer marks, dressing the hammer face and making the edges quite round helps a lot.
Thank you. It's more the scale I have trouble with I think. I can't seam to get it all off with the brush. Need to get a wire wheel to clean it up I think. 😏
Ok, yes scale can be a pain to get rid of.
Enjoy your videos and skills very much! I have a folding square like yours which I purchased in Hallsberg in 1981. It is the handiest square I ever used!
Very cool!
so elegant! these would also make really cool drawer pulls
That is a great looking handle, no cheesy stamped out sheet metal handle. Bet this one will last longer than the brush. I like the screws, so many wanted slotted to look old but for this piece I like it just as you made and installed it.
Thanks Dan!
I really enjoy these collabs. It really show how powerful community can be.
Отлично! Не перестаёшь удивлять своей находчивостью и нестандартным подходом. Продолжай в том же духе, очень понравилось.
It's amazing how many little tricks you show case in your videos, beautiful work.
Hi Torbjörn Åhman. It's really good to hear you talking. Your videos were already excellent. Speaking to the audience (in my opinion) just seems like a nice personal touch. +1 vote for me. Also thank you for the work that goes into these videos. I look forward to watching them often.
As soon as he used that t square and put those arrow pointed shoulders in there my mouth dropped. Absolutely amazing
:) Thanks!
The waiting is over at last! An expert ALWAYS makes it look easy 👍👏
I don't know what to say. You make this process look so easy.
That's a great handle. You really got a grip on Daniel's request
Hehe
Please. Stop
@@oscarsimpsonjacka7917 Maybe you could just brush it off as another bad pun?
Adam Schaeffer yeah I could have but this pun is really screwed on tight
@@oscarsimpsonjacka7917 You're right, brushing it off would be difficult. The scale of these puns has really gotten out of hand.
A handle any craftsman would be proud to own
HE SPEAKS!!! I've said it before, you should do videos in Svenska with subtitles. Joey Van Der Steeg does Dutch videos from time to time and I love it. I grew up in Chicago, USA - the only European languages you hear are Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian... would be very nice to hear Scandinavian languages like Svenska, Norsk, and Dansk. Cheers!
:) I've actually made one... the gingerbread video a couple of years ago.
@@torbjornahman oh awesome! I must've missed it. I'm on it! Tak!
Good job. I love the sound of the hammer caressing the anvil. Greetings from Catalonia
Yeah, Torbjörn is definitely the best-sounding blacksmith on KZhead (and does some of the most beautiful work, too)!
a piece of fine craftsmanship
Your excellent craftsmanship on display once again. Now that spring is coming to Sweden, perhaps we can see some gardening tools, or an update on your terrific greenhouse. Saludos from Argentina. Watching this on the ICU with one eye on the screen and the other on my patients hahaha.
Oh I loved the gardening interludes between smithing.
It looks like a precision forging brimming with human craft! Marvellous.
Great work from both of you, I watched Daniel's video, I really didn't expect him to roll that handle with a hammer like that. You both show great skill
Always a pleasure watching and learning from you sir. I could spend several weeks watching,learning, and helping! Please take care and bless u and ur family!
Thank you Mike!
Very nice and I agree It's great to hear you speak. My mother was from Sweden. I watch from Western Canada.
Great, thanks!!
Thanks for showing this off. I’m 15 years old and go to a technical high school for manufacturing. So interesting how you did this!
Cool. Thanks!
That looks very comfortable! A perfect design for a working handle.
Excellent work on the handle! You move metal with ease. A pleasure to watch.
That looks awesome. It's simple and easy to grasp. I'm especially liking the subtle embellishments.
Both handles are beautiful in form and functionality. Thanks for the step by step.
Hey! That's "hello" in southern Missouri English! 😁
:)
I found that funny haha
That's also "Hello" in Ohio as well
And in Nebraska.
And in Massachusetts
A very simple yet very elegantly designed handle, looks great and well made as usual. I’m sure Daniel would have appreciated all the time and effort you put into making it, nice collaboration between friends. Regards from down under.
the simplicity of beauty ...
Awesome Job Mr. T! Daniel is going to be very happy.
Watching blacksmithing just mesmerizes me... every single time! I have to try it myself one day. Please keep your channel up :)
a Tool of beauty and a Joy forever. TY
Fine detail! Thanks for showing us.
Nice to hear you talk!
You handled that nicely!
Wow Torbjorn you did amazing job on that Handle, your Friend will love!
Garymccraw
Fantastic video! nice touch on the handle where it meets the round tabs! I like how you kept it simple but made it elegant at the same time.
This is so nice! Especially love the litte corner detail on the pads. Such a neat little trick, barely any effort but takes the over all appearance to another level!
Great craftmanship as always!
Simple and yet elegant
Very cool- I love the 90 degree angle you did on each side of the handle. I wondered what the chalk lines were for. As always - awesome!
Thank you Ray!
Ha so good, and good to see you and Dan, are helping each other out, that's what it's all about. And mate, a simple handle and you make it look so elegant. Wish I had your skills.
Thanks!
Great looking handle. I am Sure Daniel will be happy with it.
Thanks John! I hope so :)
Impressive in so many ways Torbjorn! Loved the intro and the detail and deftness of hammer techniques to the end result. Those V's were beautiful and an insightful technique to learn. Thanks So Much Torbjorn for sharing your incredible artisan skills with us and the collaboration!!
Thank you PJ. I'm glad you all still put up with me :) :)
Oh man... do I need to practice!! Very nicely done as usual!! And good English too! Thanks, Pete D.---
Thanks!
Otroligt snyggt!! Den lilla detaljen på slutet vid infästningsöronen var grym!! Hatten av👍
Tack!
A thing of beauty. And you spoke! Cool collaboration, and nice details in the piece.
Your techniques never cease to surprise me. I love your channel sir. 🖤
As usual you make stunningly beautiful works of art.
That’s a beautiful handle!
Very nice work. I think this was the most you have spoken in a video in quite some time. Very unexpected, but a welcome surprise. I had seen Daniel's video on making your handle, and have been looking forward to seeing your video. Very well done! 👍 Beautiful work. It's always nice to see blacksmiths exchange goods, and it builds the community so much.
Thanks! I'm terrible at the small talk though...
@@torbjornahman Well you had a cool project to talk about in this video, and it was very nice to see a side of you that you don't normally share. 👍You did great, and keep the awesome videos coming!
I love your work. That is a simply beautiful handle and just so appropriate for a wire brush.
Learned a lot from this one. The half face blows on the ends to form the handle support was an ah-ha moment. Very nice result. Send one to John Switzer at Black Bear Forge. He needs a handle for his brush!
Thanks! He he, I'll think about it! :)
I love your design, especially your triangle, very beautiful detail. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
another perfect demonstration. the angled shoulders are the best. bravo
Thank you Torbjörn! You make such beautiful objects that is amazing and relaxing at the same time. Keep up the excellent work!
Looks good and comfortable to use. Well done!
Thanks, yes I think it is!
Beautifully designed and executed.
.. simple, yet stunning !! How-dee, that's Alabama for Hey...
I'm in awe. Minute 9! Brilliant
Just finished some work in the shop and loved using my Daniel Moss brush. It's quite nice!
I watch a lot of your show to me you know exactly what you doingKeep up the good work and good luck
Awesome as always. I'm sure he'll love the handle as we enjoyed watching you make it.
Your work is inspiring and I thoroughly like the added adornments on each end of the handle! I've never given any thought as to a touch like that. Keep the videos coming please.
Thank you Jeffrey!
Nice, clean design and very smooth execution. Well done!
