    spent over a year watching you and wallowing in self pity over my bad back and COPD last week i called it quits and started rebuilding my shop figured it may be painful but the enjoyment will be worth it Thank you for your videos they helped push me off my ass

    I love the combination of the music from the forge and hammer with the music from Wintergatan! This was a good example of how it's possible to combine keeping the working sounds clean, and still adding atmosphere to parts of a video using music. Thanks Torbjörn and Martin for the inspirations

      I cannot help picturing of Torbjörn forging Wintergatan’s marble machine out of steel. I believe he can do that if he wants to but I like his ginko leaf and iris better.

    In the late 70’s, when I was messing around with live BONSIA trees, this was my favorite tree. Now in 2023 it is STILL my favorite tree!!
    Nice Job My Friend!!

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  Год назад

      I think it is mine too! Have one in a pot... even tried to bonsai:fy one, but sadly it died on me. Probably got too dry at some point.

    • @Zogg1281
      @Zogg1281 4 года назад +1

      Some people don't like video's with music, other's don't want anything that doesn't involve blacksmithing (garden's). At the end of the day RUclips is like pants...... to many dicks and a-holes!! Think about it this way, though, hitting both like and dislike both do the same thing in the whole RUclips algorithms and move the video higher up the recommended video list. RUclips counts any interactions as possitive 👍

  • @theseconddarrin3788
    @theseconddarrin3788 4 года назад

    One of my favorite RUclips channels. Excellent editing, sound, style, and just the right amount of talking. I’ve loved everything from the lemonade, painting windows, the garden and of course the forging. EXCELLENT - THANK YOU for sharing with us.

    Пока смотрел, нахлынуло столько эмоций и переживаний.. Воспоминаний из жизни.. Столько не бывало от современных дорогих блокбастеров. Я не ожидал такого эффекта от небольшого видео и, кажется, это и должно называться настоящим искусством. Возможно, это от того, что сам хочу научиться ковать красивые вещи. Спасибо за видео!

    From a forging perspective, it was interesting to watch how quickly the heat leaves such a small workpiece.

    I've seen quite a few artists, in my 60+ years,
    but few who did such good work with a hammer
    and forge! Always a pleasure to watch you work!
    Didn't realize that Martin did the music. He is
    an artist, as well. His using the LEGO Techics
    parts for the programming wheels, is what first
    attracted me, and that song, well, just amazing!

    I'm also growing ginkgo trees in pots! I want to plant as many of them as possible. Here in the uk we don't see many of them, and I'm guessing it's the same for sweden. They are such beautiful and rare trees, and the last of their ancient genus. They deserve to be as widespread as they used to be.
