    Your videos are an example to all RUclipsrs. No unecessary 'music', no boring chat but excellent photography showing just what you are doing. You are also an exceptional blacksmith.

      Torbjörn Åhman Yeah, I had no idea how the tongs were going to work until about 11 minutes into the video. Great work!

    Your inner sense of music shows through your hand movement, just as it does through the choreography of your video editing, and your design process (and explanation).

    All of your videos leave me speechless. Your proficiency as a blacksmith is beyond exceptional, and dare say your skills with cinematography and editing are equally impressive. No doubt the 17 minutes I just spent watching your video will be the most beneficial use of my time today! I'd love to see plans for that guillotine also. Thank you for posting your video.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 лет назад +4

      GPaulSalvetti Ha ha, thank you very much! The guillotine is basically a ripoff of the "smithing magician" found here - www.blacksmithsupply.com/catalog.aspx?StoreName=blacksmith_supply&DeptID=269444 - I have no other plans.

    • @pjhalchemy
      @pjhalchemy 9 лет назад +2

      Torbjörn Åhman+GPaulSalvetti I so agree with GPaul to watch your skill and finesse is a great pleasure and learning experience plus your videography improves all the time! Sometimes I can feel the metal moving to your coaxing...awe inspiring! Thanks for the link to the "magician"...really a versatile tool. Also wanted to ask if you ever sketch your pieces before you start or do you just go from your head to hands with it? Thanks Very Much! ~PJ

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 лет назад +3

      pjsalchemy Thank you! Great! I often do sketches, it helps when you think through the working steps. I did a sketch for this one, shown briefly with the stating title. Had no other place for it...

    J'ai toujours été fasciné par le travail à la forge. Le son du marteau sur l'enclume qui me rappelle des souvenirs de ma petite enfance, et le métal qui prend forme petit à petit sous les coups de marteau.
    Beau travail. Merci

    This is a work of art. Exceptional high skill set and an incredible talent being shown here in the making of these tongs. Thank you very much for sharing. I'm setting up my forge and have this to look forward too. Quite inspirational in fact, another reason why I've taken up smith work. It's so important to keep traditions alive. Thank you again from Ireland.

    That was the most beautiful and masterfully crafted piece of metal i have seen on you tube. I know it was just a pair of tongs, but every hammer blow had a reason and was carefully planned out. Each heat was for a specific temperature and no higher. Well done.
