    I love your videos that turn out to be cases of, "I showed you how I made that tool so I could show you how I made this tool." Fantastic stuff!

    My Dad had a fold-out yardstick like the one this blacksmith uses. I haven’t seen one like that in a long time. Brings back good memories of my Dad ❤️

    You made a tool, to make a tool, to make a part for a tool, utilizing another tool, and I enjoyed every minute of it!

    This project outlines one of the many joys of being a blacksmith. If something breaks, or needs an improvement, blacksmiths can fix the problem or improve the equipment with their skill set. Great video and I congratulate you on your skewing skills! You're doing great!

      I got to show my grandchildren videos like yours! They grew up with the reality that if you want something or if you need something you do not even have to leave your house, it is brought to your door.
      It‘s not that long ago that if something broke or was needed you had to make it yourself or if you were lucky to have a blacksmith within a days travel and were „rich“ enough to pay him, you could have it custom made for you!
      Keep the good videos coming to educate our offspring!

    Making a tool, to make another tool, to be used as part of another tool, to make something else. I love it! I wish I had that skill set.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  6 лет назад

      :) Great! Thanks. Sure it's a bit overkill for forging two handles... but it's fun to try new things. I'm sure I'll get more use from it.

  • @PopsShack
    @PopsShack 6 лет назад +10

    Fantastic work! I paid $160 for a forge last week, along with a bunch of coal to use as fuel. I've already made a hive tool out of an old file to use in my top bar hive. It's very basic, but at least I got to get some steel hot and bang away at it with the hammer. Your videos are inspirational. Thanks.

    Another innovation on your tool great have done things similar to that but never any forging . But at the beginning seeing that hack saw going and the that short tuff blade, reminded me of my first knife dad made for me but he let me help it was in the 50s but cannot for the best of me remember the year probably mid 50's . Any way still carry that knife to this day great memories of good times as you will have when your 75 . Happy Trails young man

    There's a certain *irony* in 'dirtying' the surface of the perfect ball, arc welded onto a rod, on the belt sander so that the surfaces of swaged pieces eventually have an 'authentic' look.

    Very cool tool! Kept me wondering until the very end! Thank-you for all the great videos. I love that you take a break to appreciate nature, it creates a nice balance. Kudos for your consistent use of safety gear - you take the time to work safely and protect your health. I know Sweden has its share of problems just like the rest of the world, but watching this is a pleasant respite from the political and social chaos here in the United States.

      @jojorengers5368 6 лет назад +1

      No,I am thinking that a axe is to rough and a saw also. Making a tree look nice and not cutting a tree down. Like bonsai but than a bigger tree. I want to know how to make that chisel not how to cut the branches.

    • @dutchcourage7312
      @dutchcourage7312 6 лет назад +1

      Getting an actual lathe may be a thing put off due to cost ... but if you like DIY stuff, you can make a spring/pull lathe fairly easily, loads of videos on that on youtube (just follow along), technique does look a bit different due to the drive mechanism, but the end results are pretty much the same. And a spring/pull lathe can be build for a fraction of the cost.

    Great to see you using the skew chisel. They take a bit of practice but are so good to use. Most RUclips turning videos are scraper from start to finish. Real turning should use the cutting edge of the correct chisel for the job, resulting in a great surface finish.

I am retiring and want something to keep me busy and I live working in the heard except I’m to old to work the property now so I just thought I’d scale it down to flowers and ferns and the such...juts something I can handle. But heck...I’m going to have to pay someone to build it and I know they would never build it as good as u...ur green -hse is immaculate and perfect for what u will nee. Don’t forget the earth worms. I buy mine..,about 250 -500 at a time and they add everything to the garden. I have my own compost barrel and use it every year...my specialty is hot hot peppers so if u would like some let me know ...I would live to send u some Free of course. I’m even growing the hottest pepper in the world. ‘’ the Carolina Reaper” yessiree...also ghost peppers, scorpion, scotch bonnets, jalapeños, and cayennes so if u would like some let me know...I’m not sure if there is a custom problem since they are raised here...have a good day sir...
