- I make a new power hammer die. A more narrow and aggressive peen to spread material in an effective way. I hope to utilize this one in future projects!

You have to be the neatest and most precise blacksmith I have ever seen.
Blacksmiths usually don't grind or machine surfaces unless they require it for fit. There's no reason to be ashamed of a hammered surface. Machinists however detest anything that's not machined, considering it crude and offensive. Perhaps that's his background. Indeed, the tool looks like a machined product.
When the end result says more than what words ever could. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Ahh blacksmithing. Sir, your channel provides me with the asmr soothing calm that I need in the day. And, watching an artisan move steel is awesome. Thank you for your channel.
I've done auto parts in a factory, and that brings back some very good memories...
And you are a professional craftsman...THANKS !!!
What an awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the manufacturing process for the power hammer die. The intermission while waiting for the final heat treating was a nice touch. A classy video production.
Cephalon24 I think his video’s are amazing
The full sledgehammer swings with the workpiece in the swage was awesome. Pure brute force manipulating steel.
I also approve of his sledgehammer technique. I use the same motion when cleaving troublesome wood pieces.
The thing I love about blacksmithing, it's one of the few things where hitting something harder with a bigger hammer is usually a good idea, not a bad one XD
I'm a tool and die machinist that makes titanium forging dies for aerospace parts- and I'm also a traditional blacksmith outside of work. The only thing I don't forge is checks. This dude is legit, awesome skills, much respect from the steel city, Pittsburgh PA USA
Wow, thank you Andrew!
You can tell that is a badass piece of steel just from the amount of work it took yourself and the power hammer to shape it. Of course, you can't slouch on a piece of metal that is destined to be a machine tool. That was a great watch!
You must love those tools and the abilty to shape your thoughts with them in creation. I am jealous of watching all the time, I work with my mind mainly and PC. It must be very connecting to the product at the end and during.
I love the music your power hammer makes. Just fantastic.
Your videos are wonderful! No music, No lirycs and only images. It's a pleasure to watch !
I agree! and just so you know, its lyrics.
Just the sounds of the machine and hammer makes for a nice nap time for me.
No music!
Seeing you work is a pleasure for the eyes and for the soul.
You're very good, keep it up
Beautiful piece of steel! I could watch u 4 hours. I just enjoy watching a master at his/her craft...thank you for allowing me into ur work shop for just a small part of your creativity ..…

Hey Thanks for sharing. I'v been with you and your channel since when you were putting the foundation for the big hammer I'v seen most of your videos I like the content and the production value of all work, video and projects. Thanks again.
For me, the Swedish Mid Summer Celebration was the highlight of your video. Thanks for sharing.
Cool. Thanks :)
My Granddad was a blacksmith. Never got the chance to see him work. That was amazing! Thanks.
Wow, sorry you didn't see him work. Thanks
We see not only your handcrafts but your lifestyle!
Great! All the best!
Nice video, Torbjörn.
The tool has become beautiful.
That's the advantage of a blacksmith, he can make himself the things / tools himself.
Not only do I love all of the blacksmithing content you provide, I also love the rest of the footage you give us pertaining to your everyday life in Sweden. Very cool. I admire and appreciate the traditions that we get a peek of in your videos.
Great, thank you Keenan.
I don’t usually envy other people’s shops but, yours is something of a museum I suppose. It’s beautiful.
It's nice to watch when the work is done to the smallest detail.
Hello Torbjorn, I wonder sometimes if people are born with certain skills, now, I think that if you were not born with them then you spent many hours learing these skills. You must have burned through many a candle. You are an artist and it is a joy to watch you work.
All the best, Edgar
You are well deserving of the title of Master Craftsman. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Cheers.
nice to have the right die for the job! as always a pleasure to watch your pure craftsmanship!
At 16:33 I burst out laughing when the "not a precision tool" flashed onto the screen. You just finished turning it on the lathe very precisely. Very funny! I do love the power hammer. I remember watching the video(s) where you readied your shop for it and then installed it. It was impressive then and is even more so now since your skill with it is remarkable. Keep forging!
i love work. I can watch people do it for hours!
Thx for all you share with the viewers. It is amazing what the right tools can do for you, and you make what you need to get the job done easier and to save time. Enjoy your work.
Thanks!
Torbjørn... Du er god. Good I mean... If I was still living in norway I wouda come visit yu. just for pleasure. Yur workshop is so clean. And I love little scenaries when yur sharing outside areas... Bathing in lake.
Tak så mytte.
:) Thanks
Very nice work.
Love your work!
I'm exhausted from just watching! That's a great video. And as someone else stated many skill sets used.
You have remarkable skill! Thanks for sharing it with us. Great nods of approval from Minnesota.
Nice job
VERY nice work!!! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work/video. Enjoyed watching the whole process.
Just awesome. Your attention to detail is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Now I know, where the term "Metal" comes from - I can totally headbang to this mashine!
Beautiful Video. Thank you for Sharing! This is awesome. And Foundations of Metal Working.
I appreciate your skills! I have worked with steel most of my 62 years and I always trying to learn more. By watching you make the die, I learnt more. Thanks Dean
Wow, thanks Dean!
thanks for including in a bit of the Festival great to see the ages together celebrating . We have our own celebration here in the states today the 4th of July independence day but most have no idea what it even means any more. Happy Trails.
That came out amazing!
Nice! Make me idialistic man more knowledgeable!!
Very interesting thank you very much
Excellent project, your blacksmithing and forging is better than some machining work I have seen.
Great video and channel.
Best regards from the UK.
Watched this the 3rd time and I am still impressed of that craftmanship!
Cool, thanks!
seems like alot of fun, whacking the hell out things and making something usefull in the process.
Sometimes after a frustrating workweek I would like to have a go at it... but I guess my downstairs neighbour would not appreciate it :-)
Thanks for making these videos
I love how thorough and precise you are in getting such clean forgings, this was definitely no exception! Nice to see some precise machining as well. I was fooled by an optical illusion on the thumbnail picture, making it look as if the die was ground into a diamond shape, so I was wondering when that was gonna take place lol Beautiful job as always :)
Great to see that there are people who can change their ideas in to a real things/machines that can impoove their (our) lives.
Thanks
Could not click the video faster when i saw new stuff was out, excellent video.
Nice job, nothing like making your own tools!
Perfect as always, this is pure fuel for my inspiration machine... XD
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Appreciated it very much.
Always a joy to watch a true artist work.
Tout un art ! Bravo Monsieur !
Just a master at work lovely to see a craftsman. 👍 Craig Wales England

Thanks for sharing, it is always a pleasure to watch your work.
Mesmerized and truly captivated by your artistry. I know my comment-compliment is one of hundreds of thousands, but damn. You are truly gifted. Such a pleasure to watch you work with metal as if it’s clay. Beautiful!!! 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Master-smithing !!! 💪💪👌
Профессиональный инструмент только на первый взгляд кажется простым, но сколько времени необходимо квалифицированному мастеру что бы сделать из болванки удобный и привлекательный инструмент без которого не обойтись, и служить он будет от отца к сыну многим поколениям кузнецов, смотрел на одном дыхании с чистой и светлой "завистью". Подписка и лайк с удовольствием.
TA, you are a master craftsman! Very good video, truly inspiring.
2 things i wish i had,budy your brains and your tools . you are great thank you for your so interesting show.
A masterpiece!
Perfect timing I’m building my power hammer. I really enjoyed seeing the Festival. Sir you really need to get some sun, I couldn’t tell the difference between you and your towel. I’m joking, I’m so pale I get a burn on a full moon. Thank you for showing this.
Ha ha, thank you!
Very nice project... and very well executed. Appreciate you dedication to safety.
A wonderful video as usual , I enjoy your approach to this work. I also like seeing all of your exceptional "toys" . Thanks for sharing.
Great job !
Awesome video as always!
Very beautiful work. This fine tool is powered by the soul of its blacksmith creator.
I'm a Precision metal mechanic spent 20 years in a shipyard and 13 years in Aerospace I must say and 1 Word excellent
Wow, thank you!
Hope that was a gr8 summer...I love tradition!
I think it was! :)
Любо смотреть, всё аккуратно, не спеша, бережно, спасибо)
и заметьте, с минимумом отходов!
Torb that was great some cloture, beautiful scenery outstanding craftsmanship ..... Thanks
The Ultimate Tradesman. Simply Exquisite Work. Top job mate. Cheers from Australia.
Wow. Awesome
Making HUERTAS Stuff 。
Agree'd - COMPLETELY awesome
Master at work.
Very nice work, Thanks for the fine video from Lincoln, NE USA.
Thanks for sharing. This was ... a long process with the results that I think you wanted. I was sure that once completed you were to use it and then mamas an army of the same. One robot to build the robot army!
As one of your long time subscribers I think this is an absolutely brilliant video, and possibly one of your best; and resulting in a wonderful tool. Almost a work of art!
Thanks also for showing us a glimpse of some of the things that Swedish people do. It looks like an idyllic lifestyle... for you at least :)
Regards Mark in the UK
Thanks Mark!!
Very good!!!
You always amaze and teach me something.
Just what a beginner like me needs.
Many thanks.
This guy never ceases to amaze me!!
Although your other videos are great this one, in my opinion, was exceptional as it involved multiple skills and the camera shots were high quality. I have been to Sverige for a couple of the midsummer celebrations, excellent times! (mycket bra). Correct me if I am wrong...but isn't the shape of this die used to control the expansion of the work so it does not grow or "mushroom" outward in all directions? I noticed you got a replacement grinder. Can't wait for the next video!!
Thank you so much! Yes, a peen like this will spread the material in two directions only, more or less. That's why a tool like this is so useful for certain tasks!
Torbjorn has already answered, but, yes. For those who may not know what you were meaning, in sheetmetal work (car body panels, motorbike tanks etc) this is known as a linear stretch die, and the idea is to stretch the metal in only one axis. With a typical round die in sheetmetal, the metal stretches in all directions (360 degrees) thus forming a dome in the panel, and increasing the panel length in any direction you measure. With the linear stretch die, it only really stretches in a line - say the X axis. So the panel forms a curve and grows longer in this axis, but remains flat (mostly) across the Y axis, and it's length in this direction is unchanged, although it gets a little thinner. (ideally!). You can see exactly that happening when he tests it at the end, the steel basically does not grow at all in the direction parallel to the die, but very quickly increases it's size perpendicular to the die - all of the metal displaced in making it thinner goes in this direction.
Thanks for the additional and very detailed info, my observation of Torbjorn's die shape was based on similar properties of a blacksmith's rounding hammer.
just subscribed... great work.
What a powerful display of skill, from precision grinding to powerful hammer blows. Wonderful to watch, and getting a look at the festival was great
Thank you!
I like how you gave that grinder a pat on the back, almost like you wanted to wish it a long life. And they say Welders are hard on angle grinders.
Good luck little Grinder, good luck.
Swage block brings the house down....almost.
Great result....not for love nor money can these handmade tools be got at this level, anywhere.
Great job,
Great work! Love seeing smith's make their own tools. Would love to see you build your own tempering oven before there is trouble in the household!
Thanks. That might be a good idea.... :)
There are very few places on RUclips, or on the internet in general, where something gets hundreds of likes and only one dislike in the first few days. Your work is inspirational! Anyone can relate to it, not just fellow smiths! From the videography to the subject matter, we are spellbound.
Cool. Thank you so much!
An artist.
Здравствуйте! Красиво сделано! Только теперь нижний боёк таким же делать надо! Листики будут загляденье))
Wonderful,real trade,congratulations and respect from Romania!!!!!
Well done mate - "Living the dream"
And thanks for the video! 👍🏻
That is truly old school.. , the way I was taught in tech school 44 years ago.
HARD AND SINCERE WORK MAKE ALL BEST THINGS ... BEST OF WORK !!!.
That air hammer made short work of reshaping 70mm stock. That's quite a piece of steel. Very pretty finished tool. As always, great work.
