  • In this video I show how to make simple throwing knifes from old recycled coil spring. I learned quickly that throwing knives is pretty fun and addictive!

    I love how Torbjörn looks like he works in a tech support office yet his level of neatness in blacksmithing is very difficult to come by.
    I’ve seen professional blacksmiths with twice the amount of tools at their disposal produce some awful ingots for blade smithing and they have to grind their week away. Your precision is a gift and I’m delighted that you share it with us each time you post a video.

      Believe he'd is educated for CP type work and background but return to his parents home to raise his family and guess had been helpful for them to have back home. Hopefully I not mistaken. I certainly don't mean any disrespect into his life but wish him the best.

      Ohhh, not only cutting! I also love those gardening "inserts". In this he reminded me how my grandma used to plant seeds in the soil, making first an indentation with a pole from a rake. Thanks Torbjorn! It was really pleasant to find that memory from my childhood :D

    Sir I'm also a gardener but older. I'm not as flexible as in my youth.
    Before I'm unable I'm building tools to keep me gardening longer.
    You probably know older people who also aged and still veggies.
    I'm planning a long set of tongs for thinning my tiny seedlings such as your carrots will need thinning
    You can help promote some gardening tools for us older and handicap people who are not quite ready to stop gardening we love our veggies and little fresh air brings joy to many.
    I'm always amazed by your Blacksmith skills but throwing skills you're needed more practice Buddy love your shop skills.
    I built a mini post hole digger for setting my seedlings such as tomatoes and peppers.
    BIG THANKS 😂

    I had to chuckle to see that we close our garden rows (@10:42) with the same one-handed crab "scootchy-scootch". It's the best ! But we use different "tapping" techniques to produce the precise flow of seeds from the packet. I will soon experiment with your two-handed tap, which is quite different than my one-handed tap. You see, I hold a corner of the packet between thumb and middle finger, using the index finger of the same hand to do the tapping. A small matter, as we both probably proceed with thinning the seedlings in a similar fashion. Best wishes for a bountiful garden to you ! And thanks for yet another enlightening video !
