Never thought about this before, but i you're right... I'm scandinavian and i love hammers. But this cannot just be true for Scandinavians? What does the rest of the world do when they have to repair something, or destroy? Or when you're hunting seals and polarbears? Or go fishing? Arguing with your neighbour? Hammers are used for almost anything...
Hello TA. I rewatch your videos from time to time. They relax me and help me sleep. Please do not mistake this as an insult, it is a sincere compliment. Thank you. Regards from India.
This is Olympic Gold medal of blacksmithing. Zero wasted effort. Form, function, artistic expression, skillful abilities give the impression of complete ease with the medium. Outstanding as always. Rewatching this for the 10/something time.
@@torbjornahman I have the utmost respect for your understated approach and beautiful results. 30+ years as a finish carpenter 20+ years as a ceramicist, I aspire to produce my own pieces with a similar level of quality that you put into your work. My hat is off to you my friend.
Be sure to tell your son that HIS father has the coolest channel on RUclips. He seems to be the age to appreciate stuff like that. Flawless work as always- both hammer and video.
best part of the build was having your son help ! My 23 y.o. is finally wanting to smith with me, but he wants to make knives, which I have not done. Good time for both of us to learn !
Nice job! I like that you're teaching your son the trade as well. There is a real lack of passing our skills on to our children and we need to do more of it. Thanks for sharing!
*Yup. Nice hammer. Nice oval handle... correct grain orientation and all. Nice wedges and grain alignment. My body feels good watching you work... and takes in the healing of it all. Thanks to you, Torbjörn*
As a sheet metal worker, I really appreciate the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into making this hammer. It looks awesome and I’d love to have it.
I dont know why it is, but I just love seeing a hammer formed from a small piece of metal. I cant forge anything (except flat blade screwdrivers when I had metalwork in school back in 1974/5). I watch allsorts of forging vids, but the hammer has to be my fave followed by candle sticks. Seeing different hammers being forged never fails to amaze me at the different ways and tools that are used . Well dont. I have subbed. :)
A Trade that built the World :), That my friend is a well crafted Hammer. (The only Tinning Hammer I've seen Fabricated on RUclips:)) Being a "Tinnsmen" of 25+ years I appreciate your craftsmanship, Thank-you for sharing :) Also nice to see the kiddo gettin involved in the trade:)
Mad respect. Not only are you a blacksmith of great renown, but 18:00 + shows some seriously advanced woodworking skills. Very well done. You, sir, are a consummate craftsman, in all regards.
Torbjorn, this is amazing work. The detail you put into the throat is very impressive, I always enjoy your work. But more impressive is a father sharing his craft with his child. My hat off to you good Sir. Thank you.
@@torbjornahman I have a question to ask you how hard would it be for someone with less experience to make a kitchen knife or any tools 🔧 i could get large lift springs from big trucks and small lift trucks springs hi 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW I hope you understand what I have said to you you also work with lift springs from trucks 🚚
Hey Thunderbear, I envy you not only the art and skill you have in making simple and complicated objects but also your wonderful greenhouse surrounded by the beautiful nature of your land, a sign that what my grandfather said: "Love and respect for plants are a clue and measure of the degree of civilization of a people" is absolutely true.
I always like to watch someone make things on their own. I've learned many things from RUclips. The two things that were to my advantage was how to heat treat and temper metal parts, for making the mounts for a larger gas tank on my motorcycle, the hinge for my solo seat and the cross bar to mount the two springs under the back of my seat. The other was how to do a perfect paint job on the gas tank using spray paint. For the record, I'm not a real wizard, it's just a nickname I was given as I'm self-taught in many things that have been useful not only in my life but also for family and friends as I saved them money from not hiring a professional to do something.
Of course I love the blacksmithing (who doesn't), but I also want to express gratitude for a fringe benefit I got from this channel. After seeing it in several baking videos, I decided to get the Ankarsrum (Assistent) kitchen mixer for myself, and boy howdy, that's one fine machine.
Very cool! There are a bunch of accessories for grinding meat, making sausages and bits for separating the soft and hard parts of fruit (don't know the name). We use it to make our own apple sauce.

You're right - this is a work of art, not a product. Not really comparable to Chinese products, or any other "products" for that matter. There's at least a couple of hundred dollars in labor in this hammer, not to mention the value of the artistry/craftsmanship. And the Chinese products aren't so much "bad", they're just low on the cost/value curve - and that's what a lot of people want.
As usual, absolutely beautiful workmanship. I was trained as a machinist in England and can appreciate your attention to detail. I've noticed that you enjoy the file work and the cleanup of the tool once the main work on it is completed and your pride in your work is evident.
Nice hammer head! As a retired tin smith, a well made and nicely balance head allows longer, more comfortable use. It was also nice to see the proper handle grain-to-head alignment and hanging of the head. Well made handles are equally important for comfort and long tool life. Glad to see "Junior" getting involved in a honourable trade. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
I like the polishing on the two ends of the hammer. A better polish leaves less imprints on the metal being struck. Great example of offset turning! And perfect grain orientation on the handle. When I make handles I find it as fast to rough them out on the bandsaw and finish them by hand as you ended up doing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Mark
Like how your furnace is traditionally back to I don’t know when ! with good exhaust , and making tool I hope there’s still tradespeople still working.
There is something so amazingly seductive about the sound of a Bêchè air hammer! I could listen to it all day. That hammer is so amazingly beautiful, not to mention the grapes and melon. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
You are the Master of your tools!! You even have great finesse with your power hammer. Your yard and greenhouse are absolutely beyond description Be Safe Keep them coming
Torbjörn, I have much work to complete yet I spend hours on hours watching. I'm pretty sure I'm just about completed your entire video library. Thanks Dan
Your videos are well made and inspiring. I especially liked the technique you showed to make the oval handle on the lathe. So nice that you teach your boy normalising and hardening while still so young. The stuff you learn from your father stays with you your whole life!

Nothing more heartwarming than seeing a young boy helping his father at the forge.
Not sure if I'm more impressed about your blacksmithing skills or ability to grow perfect grapes and melons.
Seriously what a cool greenhouse!
How big is that greenhouse i wonder
@@MrJk009 If you look through his videos you will find a video on building it.
Melon is one thing. Growing melons in Sweden....
Just was about to write the same thing.
If he went to north Africa and grow perfect grapes like this i think he will be millionaire.

There are never too many hammers. )))All Scandinavians, historically, have a passion for hammers. Someday, Thorbjörn will make Thor's magic hammer.
He might already possess it?
Huge fan of this hammer, but I am a sheet metal worker. Go figure.

And who said using a power hammer isn't blacksmithing. You've got some serious skills man. That's some very delicate work on that beast of a machine.

Another beautiful creation any craftsman would be proud to own. Awesome grapes too!
Iv'e never seen that technique used with two wedges before it looks like it works great. Amazing job!
I have seen a simmilar technique where the second wedge is steel, but the part about using wood for both was new to me.
Outstanding video as always. Glad to see that a young blacksmith is willing to learn... Greetings from the watchmaker country 🇨🇭

It is most definitely nice to see that your son is taking an interest in your trade.
In a time of bad Chinese products, this is priceless.
I agree, very inspiring
You nation can't even produce masks. Such a loser. SB.
This is miles beyond in quality and craftsmanship compared to Chinese products.
