Merry Christmas, and um, what are you drinking might I ask?
Merry Christmas! That is glögg! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gl%C3%B6gi
Sounds tasty
The first thing I was looking for in the comments lol!
Going to try to make that!
Looks better than the spiced cider we drink in the States. I'm more of an eggnog guy tho. Especially with a splash of bourbon or two.
Simple, elegant, robust. Scandinavian design at its best :)
Everytime I watch one of these episodes, I become more inspired to peruse the craft of blacksmithing. Plus This guy is family and life goals. Everything is so peaceful and simple. It is like he can pull my dream life right out of my mind and create it.
Oh, thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
Well done sir. I believe you are one of my favorite RUclips blacksmiths ever. No loud talking just making quality items in a way that we can understand. I salute you.
Thanks!!
Nice work. There's something very satisfying about shaping an object by hand with files and rasps.
It is!
I could just listen to those forge noises for hours. It's always exciting to see a new video!
Your videos are like ASMR for me. I love putting them on to relax and just listen to your smithing. The rumble of the forge, the clang of hammers, the raking of the rasp. It's so relaxing. Thank you for making this content.
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
Подача видео на высоте. Всегда поражаюсь, насколько правильные формы у инструмента у Вас получаются.
I very much appreciate that your nut crackers handles don’t meet at the back when closed ! So many do, perfectly designed to pinch the side of your hand!
I know! Merry Christmas!
Minimalist and pretty. Merry christmas
Merry Christmas!
By far the very best, creative, tasteful craft-based videos on RUclips. There is alot to admire and even more to be inspired by.
Wow, thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
If you’re selling, I’m buying. That is a piece of art!
very cool inventions
Thanks
You always make it look so simple to get such clean forgings.
Hej! I am in Sweden with my wife for our honeymoon and it's wonderful to see the decoration of your home and these great traditions, shared by so many around the country. Big fan of your blacksmithing and Sweden!
Wow, that's cool. Hope you see some snow! Down in southern Sweden it's depressingly dark and gloomy this time of the year. Especially without the snow. Merry Christmas!
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.
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. 😀
Thanks, with the "clam shell" form it seems to work fine, but your suggestion sounds good!
Merry Christmas BTW!
@@torbjornahman Holiday good wishes back atcha, with top spin no less. 😀
I havent eaten filberts at Christmas time since I was a kid.... awesome build...
Here's hoping your linseed oil jug never goes empty and your project list never be full.
T∆ i think you are one of the best traditional blacksmith technic in the world. Congratulations! And merry christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Very nice.
Very Nice... love to watch you making things and enjoying your life and those beautiful children!
Merry Christmas!
Nice very nice
Your work and intelligence is amazing
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Thanks Gene!
You are a magician. Inspiring, beautiful work. Thank you.
A beauty, a bonnie, and a treat especial.
I never get bored watching the work you produce. Great idea. I'm making door knockers.
Perfect! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
wow.fantastic work again.merry Christmas from austria
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for all.
Merry Christmas.
I send you a big hug.
Merry Christmas
What was the drink? Coffee with hazel nuts and raisins? Loved the project, and your involving the kiddos, well done, Sir. Thank you.
The drink is called glögg and there are many different recipes if you want to make your own. Try it out! 😊
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.
mulled wine with alcohol or without,
every project looks like you have done it 100 times. you make it look so easy
Watch a lot of Smiths and Torbjorn is the best!!!! Jc
so simple and down to earth
This linseed oil jug looks eternal :D
Excellent job. One of the hardest parts that most people won't notice is making that rivet and creating the heads on both sides without swelling it up and swaging the joint together and making it too tight to move. Well done!
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
Very nice finishing 👍🏼
Making tools is the best part of blacksmithing.
Have a great Christmas, it looks like it will be a mild one for you.
Thank you, Merry Christmas!
man you are an artist wish i had that talent
Thanks. Merry Christmas!
@@torbjornahman merry christmas to you and your family to
Clean, simple, functional--and elegant. Merry Christmas to your family.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Brian!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
I never said nothing but it’s time to do it. You are the best blacksmith on RUclips, by far.
God jul.
Oh, thank you! Merry Christmas!
Very excellent craftsmanship great job and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
This is maybe the 5th video from your videos that i watched today , and i am still not done yet 👿
Cool!
You should sell things like this, I would buy them
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.
Superb craftsmanship
Ok, you gotta share the recipe for what you were making at the end there. I'm assuming it's a desert? Looks absolutely delicious!
The nutcracker looks nice too :)
@midjetvill I guess it's glögg (mulled wine).
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulled_wine
Glögg is what it's called!
@@jaokjaok7469 Mulled wine is not exactly the same as glögg, some spices are different I think.
glögg or mulled wine it looks delicious and will be sharing this with the family this year.
Merry Christmas to you your family and all the susbscribers
Glad you're back! Miss your videos, they are very relaxing.
Merry Christmas from France 🎄

Frohe Weihnachten!
Frohe Weihnachten Andreas!
Thanks, and Merry Christmas and a happy new year for the hole family.
Merry Christmas!
WOW! SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!! WELL DONE!!
Thanks!!
Beautiful! Here in the States, I've been cautioned against linseed oil, preferring flaxseed oil, as the former often has solvents in it. Happy Yule, Åhman family.
Thanks! If you know how the linseed oil was produced there is no worries. It should be cold pressed. Merry Christmas!
Мастерская вещь на сотни сотни лет ! 👍👌
Very nice...out of the same method making a small crimping tool will also be useful for fixing lugs at wire ends..but the nutcracker is a very useful kitchen tool...
I was almost hoping for another "christmas bread" episode. But this is pretty awesome. Enjoy the Holidays Torbjorn, and keep up the videos!
:) :) Merry Christmas!
Well done you’re full of skills
Another work of art.
Merry Christmas to your beautiful family.
Merry Christmas!
Amazing finish. Very clean forging!
Merry Xmas Torbjorn. Your channel has brought much joy during the year. Best wishes to you and your family......Greg (Australia).
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
great work Mr. Ahman always a pleasure to watch you work
I'd guess using the Anvil and one of your many hammers got a bit old after awhile for cracking nuts..
Nicely Done

Fantastik igen igen igen ☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😅
What i like in this kind of videos, it's that moment, when you look at this raw iron: "Son, you will be a nutcracker". Would love to know to forge like you. Nice work, as always !
:) Thank you!
Did you forge that gingerbread house?
Not so much forging but yes we baked and assembled it! Cheated with downloading the drawings this year though...
@@torbjornahman Might make a good video next year. That is if your family doesn't mind the camera over their shoulder. I love watching you and your family.
Thank you Sir for taking the time to make the videos that we enjoy so much,and from my family to yours have a merry christmas .
