  • @RovingPunster
    @RovingPunster 4 года назад +7

    Great closeups ... very instructive to see the exact effects of each blow and placement/angle, and how it progresses the overall shaping. 👍❤
    I've got an entire drawer full of old nutcrackers I inherited from my parents and grandparents. I've broken several over the years too, courtesy of handles that were a bit short and metal that was too brittle for forceful lateral squeezing.

    • @RovingPunster
      @RovingPunster 4 года назад

      SUGGESTION: Those grooves on the inner side of the curve (8:50) would probably benefit from being very slightly pointier, for better gripping of shells, esp smooth ones. Perhaps a slender bladed cold chisel held at an angle in the groove and tapped would slightly raise the leading edges, almost like cutting teeth in a rasp.
      Anyway, they look great. Hat's off to you, T.A. 😀

    • @OggeViking
      @OggeViking 4 года назад +3

      It's glögg (a variation of mulled wine), a very common wintertime drink in the nordic region. In Sweden at least, it's often served with raisins and almonds. If you don't want to snack directly from the bowls, simply dump them into the drinking cup itself.

      @flexiblebirdchannel 4 года назад +2

      Fran Martinez You can't afford. While the video is only 10 minutes, it took more than 1 hour of work, and considering a scandinavian work hour costs 100 US$, the steel and coal and lineseed oil only a few bucks and also considering that items sold at a store do cost 4 times of their production cost, we are talking about 400 US$ worth. Of course I wonder why he used 15x15 instead if 5x15 and only twisting the end and curve and giving it outer shape by the grinder. Maybe the result wouldn't be strong enough. So true craftmanship does cost way more than we are used to pay for industrial mass products from china.
