- In this video I show how I make a chipping hammer. I was missing one in the workshop and decided to forge one! Clearly you can make this hammer in a much simpler way but I wanted to try something else.

Once again I am just blown away. To be honest I know basically nothing about this smith’s vocation (or trade, or skill, or art; whatever you want to call this). I have watched every single piece of Mr Torbjörn Åhman’s content, at least once and some of them my grandsons and I have watched together many times. I am so grateful for this always but especially over the last year as my grandsons and I had a lot of fun trying to make some of these projects. Oh we failed horribly but it was so much fun and made the days of exile more bearable. Thank You!
I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and your family!
Wonderful to hear, except the failures of course. Thank you so much and say hi to your grandsons!

The most Swedish thing ever! Spilling cold water all over the hot steel and going: "Jaha", in a soft voice. Bra jobbat, Torbjörn! Fortsätt så.
Ha ha ha... right! :)
At a house party a friend of mine found the girl he was infatuated with, in a room making out with someone, he laconically stated "där ser man", and promptly left...

It's not that long ago I figured I needed a chipping hammer/slag pick, but I just ground a flat edge and a pointy bit out of a piece of mystery round bar and welded it to a spare piece of mild steel for a handle and called it good. You made art.
Also I think this is the first time I've seen a wedged steel handle, very interesting.
Dear artist. When poems come from a channel, first I put my liked and then watch the video because I am sure it will be a very brilliant and wonderful work.
TB - you're a complete natural at blacksmithing, filming and editing - anything you cannot do???
Always a pleasure to see a new video from you mate. That has to be the fanciest chipping hammer I've ever seen!
Thanks!
oh Sam is here!
@@samcoote9653 I'm everywhere haha
I can only imagine how peaceful it must be doing your own thing,
Blade smithing and gardening.😌
I wonder how often he gets in trouble with Mrs. Åhman because she wants to bake something but there's a chunk of metal tempering in her oven?🤣🤣
Tempering and baking temperatures are often pretty similar. If you choose your steel and biscuit recipe carefully you could do them at the same time
Cool! Never thought about putting a fastening wedge in a metal handle.
:) Thanks! Not entirely sure how it will work in the long run, but it's extremely tight now.
And the handle will not split, that's for sure
It's really coincidental but I watched a young guy do a wedged mortise and tenon stool which was aluminium earlier today, his wedges were brass which he peened over.
Yeah, I was just wondering how come you didn’t made wooden handle like you use too. Don’t get me wrong metal handle is cool and I like how you use the metal wedge and kept it tall for future hammering :) but is there a reason for not using wood? Is there a balance reason?
@@magnusbrogren2849 since the hammer will be for the welding area exclusively, i aspect a wooden handle would get burnmarks and/or welding spatter burned in it.
It won't stay pretty, maybe even become uncomfortable in the long run.
Awesome work.
Just watched this with my son, who is not quite 3, he was mesmerised by it and was asking me questions about it all the way through.
Wow, how sweet! Give him a hug from me!
What a lovely chipping hammer. I remembered to watch though the 'magic' this time. I assume it was water in the can to cool the punch/chisel. I loved the use of 'woodworking' techniques to wedge the head to the shaft. Thanks once again.
Once again, you have turned a simple tool into a work of art.
This design is an absolut eye catcher.
?
I have been watching your videos for quite sometime now. All your finished products turn out, in my opinion, to be near works of art. I can't see myself putting any of those finished products to use. Yet I have seen you use them. A perfect blend of form and function. Thank you for sharing. 🇮🇳
Thanks!
That's some great magic skill you're developing over time! Awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
As a welder I gotta say that's a sweet looking chipping hammer ⚒😎👍 nice job ThunderBear 👏 👌
Very nice. I was expecting to see the spring handle like the ones that are on the mass produced chipping hammers we see here in the USA. I don't think I've ever seen one that was built differently. The metal wedge in a metal handle is something new too, or at least new to me. I was expecting to see the handle welded. Learned a lot today.
Thanks. The steel wedge is an experiment, but I think it will work nicely.
@@torbjornahman how did the metal wedge experiment go? Did it work or it came loose?
@@yamilespanol4527 It's still working! Can't say I have used the hammer every day, but a decent amount!
Perfect, the workmanship, balance and finish..👍
Plus I just luv hearing the “clack” of your anvil, takes me back many years.
Thank you for posting your work.
Thanks 👍
Gotta love those editing skills
Tell you what, those 2 faces you made after "chopping" off a piece of that spring were priceless brother, had me laughing so hard I had to keep playing it back to show my family!!!
In another note, keep up the AMAZING videos, I love the knowledge I'm absorbing... because of you, Abomb, and both the Keith's, I've bought a Monarch Lathe, multi-processor welders, drill presses, tons of tools and tooling, and right now I'm looking for a good vertical mill, you guys put me on a path of Machining & Metal Working, so thank you brother!!!
THANK YOU! Ha ha, yes that shot was pretty funny. I laughed a lot editing that one. Wow, that sounds amazing, I assume you know that you never will get a complete shop.... there is always new stuff to bring home :)
I really like that you didn’t beautify the video with the cutting out of the water spill. That’s why I subscribe here. No one is perfect and it’s hard to find a someone willing to show mistakes on RUclips. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
The way you are so delicate with the power hammer is amazing!
OK, but seriously though, thank you for actually including knocking the water over. Video editing is magic, but its reaaaaally nice to see someone with a lot of experience knocking the same things over that I do lol (usually dye onto leather for me personally)
:) Things like that happen all the time...
Really, you're a professional forge worker out there. I love your work, your magic and gardening. Thank so much and have a wonderful day.
Thanks!
I love how instead of swearing when he spilled that water he just went "oh-oh"
Hello, I am Korean and I am watching your video very interestingly. The various tools you make are very beautiful. Enjoy the good video.
Thanks !
the ratcheted wedge is one of the smartest things i have ever seen
I hope someday we get a video compilation of you cutting and breaking steel with your bare hands. You’re getting really good at it! 😀
Отличный инструмент, мастеру моё почтение.
Спасибо
I like the finish on it. Another awesome job. I love the breaking of the coil at the start to
If you were to turn up the amps/more heat your slag will come off with 2-3 lite taps.
Great hammer!! I always enjoy watching your videos 💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
Железный клин в железной рукоятке поразил !
Инструмент для Железного Кузнеца. Не путать с Железным Дровосеком. 😉
@@oleg_konovalov что вы говорите? Как так можно!? Дровосек это не толерантно! Надо говорить ДРОВОСЭКСУАЛИСТ!!! )))))!
Wow, I've never seen an angle grinder surgeon before. Well done lol
Very nice hammer, one might even say “exceptional”!
Absolutely excellent. The perfect balance of form and function
Шикарный инструмент сварщика 👍,красивая работа .
Согласен, отличный молоточек, только у меня бы он висел в красном уголке как икона, а я бы молился на него, на удачу🤗🤗🥰😇
You are an artist. I enjoy your work. I wish you and your dear family good health✌️✌️✌️♥️
You have heard of poetry in motionm, these pieces are poetry in repose.
Ready Nice work I just got 2 realy Nice big old axe heads they just where 3 bucks a realy Nice find God bless you and your loved ones 👍👏🔥
Me: A chipping hammer? I'll enjoy seeing it made anyway
Also me later on: Oh of course, well now I know that too!
EXACTLY! I don’t know what it is but I love it!!😂
WOW!!! A beautiful tool forged from a coil spring! You are awesome!!!
Сколько труда и времени вложено на создание своей мастерской,моё почтение профессионалу кузнечного дела?! Это триумф!!!🧐
у него даже пневмо молот чистый как новый
Very elegant design. It turned out very unique and very nice. Love seeing your videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep Making.. God Bless.
Молодец!!! Сильно заморочено, но вышло шикарно.
I love your blog, you are very discipline and extremely neat person.
I’m so jealous when you fire up that power hammer.
How did I call that he was going to break a piece of that spring off with his fist and yet find it satisfying when he did it?
Great video as per the usual!!!!!!!!
:) Thanks
You're so cool! I love the relaxong shots. The only one I remember for some reason, is you visiting the old church and caressing the metalwork on the wooden door before you went inside.
Absolutely beautiful build sir. I like your approach to making and mounting the handle.
Всегда приятно наблюдать за Вами, супер!!!
Excellent piece! Greetings from Brazil.
Отличный шлакоотбойный молоток!
Еще бы ручку деревянную сделал, цены бы ему не было.
@@Rory_Mercury Зачем? Она не нагревается, а удобство не нужно.Хенд мейд, ёпта)
Very nice looking chipping hammer.
Ótima experiência com forja, projeto muito bom.
Quality over quantity looks amazing better then factory made
Man, you are a living CNC machine.
:)
Nice one, you can never have enough types of hammer, and that one look's very special!!
Excellent work as always
Congratulations Mr Thunder Bear. As usual a brilliant upload, looking forward to the next one.
Aww, little teeny Leidenfrost bead rocking itself into oblivion.
Работа супер, а вот рубахи в полосочку не хватает. С уважением
почему в полосочку?)
As expected...a thing of beauty!
I love your videos, so relaxing and fun at the same time, thanks for the great content.
Quite nicely done. Good looking one of a kind chipper. I don't think I have ever seen a wedged steel handle before either.
Thanks 👍
I really like the over complexity of this. It is funny, it's interesting to see how you did the wedging. I would have never thought of that being something you could carry out, but it makes sense. Though, if I were to make one when I get a welder, I might just forge it from a rail spike and have a wooden handle.
That is the best looking chipping hammer I have ever seen mate .
And that spring had no chance against the thunder bear . :)
:) Thanks!
Another great looking tool you have made Torbjorn!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
that is really lovely thunder bear, love the wedging. thanks for sharing as always!!
Thank you Nathe!
And not to forget the wistfull advertisement for sweden and its wonderful countryside!
Very enjoyable video and amazing result
Well done sir. Very nice.
nice, good eye for detail.
Everything but the wedge, beautiful. I was expecting you to weld the head to the shaft. After all, its for a welding tool. And you welded the handle loop. I appreciate you stopping to smell the flowers!
Welding high carbon steel is tricky. You need a good pre-heat and that would ruin the hardening. I would have had to weld and then heat treat. My original plan was to rivet the top over but decided to try something else.
@@torbjornahman Interesting. Originally, I was going to make a cheeky comment that you appeared to be "making this up as you went along" (when you were shaping the head. It looked longer and more "pointy" than any chipping hammers I've seen) but the final result, as usual, is your exquisite blend of art, craft, and utility. Thanks again!
Now that is a first for me which doesn't happen often, I've never seen anyone use a (metal) slit and wedge fastening in a hammer head before, I like that a lot and it looks awesome.
My first too! :)
@@torbjornahman I have to try that, is the handle mild steel?
Yes!
@@torbjornahman cool thankyou
Never saw wedging a steel handle before but it looks very nice. And a beautiful piece as always.
I welded my hammer from 7mm iron wire and a piece of sharped rebar, lightweight and very handy for everyday use, but this one has a lot of swag on it for sure. Belissimo!
Excellent piece!
Yet another excellent job,please keep them coming.
Fantastic as always. Welding tips and Tricks had a good video of using an old HSS drill bit to hard face the working edges by tig welding it. Just a suggestion.
🤣 халк
Looks beautiful!
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
I'm gonna be honest, the first minute of this video was upsetting.
Great work, as always.
A+ dad joke.
Самый крутой молоток для сбивания окалины, который я видел ) Шикарная работа!
Excellent craftsmanship. :)
I'm a blacksmith myself btw..
You should go up a tad with the amperage when stick welding stuff like that. The slag will chip off easier.
Thanks! Cool, I realized after the fact that I was welding with the wrong polarity which isn't great with these electrodes...
@@torbjornahman Ah, I see. He, he...happened to me a couple of times, too. :)
As always great job, love the way you cut the spring :)
At first when seeing the stock you used for the handle I thought "That seems a little large" I knew I shouldn't have doubted you haha, great video
Very nice flowers!
Your work is always perfect.
Very good punch!
Cool design
Proper weapon of war that is!
Nice Tool! You make it look easy. I would like to see the tempering process in detail. I see you have a tempering oven. Thanks for sharing.
Great Video as always. I'm disappointed in the RUclips-algorithm for not recommending this video even though I am subscribed and have notifications on!
Thanks! That's disturbing!
That was fantastic... I never considered a steel on steel wedge.
Now I know what a chipping hammer is for - thank you! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Interesting stuff in this lockdown 😎
Superb making 🔥
Beautiful product 👍
Props @0:34 that was a sweet edit! Love your videos.
Excelente trabajo artesanal 👌🏻...muy buena idea para fabricarlo, gracias por subir el video, saludos atte desde la Patagonia norte Argentina 🇦🇷
Nice! We enjoyed that
