As always a great presentation. It makes me remember that the smith was a welder, machinist, fitter, rigger tin,brass,steel,wood- worker and very needed. More so in the past but you can’t buy a better tool even today, than one hand crafted. Thanks
Hi torbjorn I’m recently geting into blacksmithing and watching you’re videos truly helps me find techniques and methods to improve the final product. You’ve Been such an inspiration to me.
Every bit of that tool is well thought. It always pleases me to see a simple tool that is really well made. One could argue, that there's no point in putting that much work into it, when you can buy one for pennies, but that's a tool that lasts easily 200 years.
Bonjour Torbjörn, ça faisait un petit bout de temps que je n'avais regardé une de tes belles vidéos...de tes belles réalisations artisanales, et ça me fait toujours du bien au coeur de voir l'art de l'ouvrier en action avec la touche de l'amour du travail bien fait. Soit béni du Père.
I look so forward to ur creative work. I watch closely at the steps u take and am amazed at the outcomes. I don’t see u using any short cuts or tricks...now I will be quiet and watch...thank u sir and bless u!!
Your Videos count to the best Videos on YT ... No stupid Music ... no Talking ... only craftmanship, ... i love it ... can‘t wait to see the next one... thx for sharing
If I may make a pointed comment, some RUclips craftsmen have wooden personalities, others are somewhat abrasive; some have nerves of steel, some have sharp wit, some act as if they have brass...well, never mind...but Torbjörn is overawl the finest and most well-rounded out there. When he springs into action, he fires the imagination, turning our mundane daily grind into a warm and blossoming experience, thawing some of the chill from our lives. He hammers home the point that we should awl chisel out some time from our plane, dreary, workaday drill, trade our wasteful vises for productive creativity, and bring some beauty and craftsmanship into beeing.
First of all, sir, you are a polymath, with wide varying interests talents and skills and knowledge required to employ them. You took us from the hot iron forge of dark heavy metal to so finely turn wood and polished hammered brass. The only thing we have yet to see is you dig your own coal. 😄 The woodshop looks non pariel, all brite and airy, remembering the rundown hovel. A perfect compact comfortable space to work those vintage tools. Your attention to detail and delicacy is oddly satisfying as if you take us there in your own head Which leads me to your video production... perfection in execution, par excellence. Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously in your world if only for 15 mins, though rest assured those 15 will be multiplied manyfold for me, as is with much of your work. As a matter of fact, after I hit SEND, I'm taking another turn through, just to be certain I saw what I just saw and once again revel in your beautiful work. TaP

As an organ builder we mostly made our own tools for very specific tasks. This video brought me back to those days. Thank you I loved every minute of it!
I discovered your channel a few months ago. I am slowly going through your videos. This has been one of my favorites. I make historically informed musical instruments when I have time. A superb awl is indispensable. I am in awe of the one here. Thank you for the inspirational video. PS I loved the ABBA jacket!
Nice job! This video is pretty good! In addition, no break for adds , no back music ( those boring electronic ones)..no asks for like & share...anyway...excelent video! Congrats!!!!
we were so entertained with the making of this program. in our opinion that is the finest example of an awl and the skills and craftsmanship anywhere on this world . thank you ; ]

Awl in awl, of awl the videos I’ve seen today, this one beats them awl! Not surprising at awl though when it’s Torbjörn! Awl-ways a pleasure to watch a true craftsman. ⚒
Torbjörn a fantastic video !! 5160 and 9260 steels have their maximum strength very close to their maximum working hardness. You can fully temper with them. A hug
I've always loved blacksmithing and after being hooked on your videos for about a week, I've decided to build a shop for myself thank you for the inspiration
Tip: when you want something long and slender start with a large enough blank and go to the finish diameter and make the part in one cut. You can not make second cut. With practice you will find the tool geometry and parameters of this procedure. I thoroughly enjoy your program it makes me relive what I used to be able to do! JIM
I have searched all my local tool stores and home project stores for an awl... all the attendants look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language when I ask them where they might be... glad someone else uses them
@@torbjornahman Depends on who you ask... Leatherworkers know this tool, carpenters often use it for marking, sailors and rope makers know it as a marlin spike (marszpikiel in polish language). David Canterbury forged marlin spike too, very nice youtube clip there with a bit of history... Gardeners use a bigger spike for planting ;) Other people generally think it's a simple murder weapon or something similar ☺ I knew this tool because i am fortunate that my dad loves to have a well stacked workshop. BTW, thanks for the inspiration! Yesterday i hardened a hatchet for the first time and it worked well. I'm lacking a forge for now, so i just put it into our heating stove when coals were bright red and quenched it in my kitchen. It was fun and i really need to make myself a forge this spring.
Masha-Allah........ You made a simple tool but your craftsmanship reflects in the making of this tool......... God bless you. Love and respect from Pakistan
It's interesting that brass annealing process is opposite to the steel, brass gets annealed by rapid quenching in water, while the steel anneals while its very slow cooling. Wonderful owl you've made! Thumbs up from me and my dauther!
very fine and nice work. i have no lathe and of course no forge. i made an awl from an hilti maisonery drillbit i cut of the shaft and the carbide tip and made the handle by handshaping, the tip is not hardened but it works fine for 3 years. the special touch comes from the spiral drillbit. with your knowlege you could probably do a nice project with DIY tools. i wouldt say that many viewers apreciate that because they could do their own one with simple tools. thank you for the inspiration. i will do a simple copy with a squared tip.
Such a simple thing and yet again for only a few minutes I get to watch a craftsman ply his trade without undue "music" or other flashy bits of editing. Another beautiful piece. Cheers from The States.
Excellent design: functional, looks kind to the hand, and beautiful. I especially like the beautiful transition from the steel to the handle. Doubt anything like thoughtful that would ever grace a commercial awl!
As always excellent work, particularly like the attention to detail with the Ferrule, not many people would round one out like that.. Nice job with the oval skew chisel too
this is Awesome, I have been following you for some time now and your videos are second to none!! I find they are so relaxing, and I love watching a real master of their craft working and enjoying what they are doing. Keep up the amazing content brother!!

Torbjörn - I could sit here and watch your incredible tool making/videos all day. I like the mix of the outside as well. When you were making that brass fitting I was sitting here think what exactly is that going to be used for until I saw it take shape. Just brilliant. Lots of respect from Perth, Australia Daniel
My typical method of doing handles like this is to drill the hole first and then putting the ferrule on. That way when the ferrule is pressed on it hopefully compresses the wood fibers ever so slightly and will hopefully help retain the tool shaft tighter. It was a beautiful piece of Craftsmanship.
It was pretty tight to begin with and my thinking is that pressing in the actual tool into the handle should compress the fibers the last bit. But You're probably right, your method could improve the tightness I think.
Last year I made an awl that was not as fancy, but I was proud because I used only hand tools, and foot-powered lathe (or "alcohol-powered", as Roy Underhill would say). I had an old screwdriver with no handle, so I used that and filed it down square, then turned the handle out of hickory and put on a copper ferrule. Yours is prettier.

Makes me wish I had a forge of my own.. Casting doesn't have the same feel to it. Beautiful work!
The forging was very minimal in that one.
That awl would have be done very differently with only a forge.
Every detail speaks of craftsmanship. I loved the making of the ferrule. I learned something.
Sand a flat in one side of the handle, and you won't be chasing it rolling off of your workbench.
Lovely work!
That explains the shape of the old one I own...tah.
Pride of workmanship is such a beautiful thing. Keep up the great work.

Strange! They are pretty simple to make though. Doesn't need much more than a power drill, a bolt or screw, sandpaper and a piece of wood.
