I will not tolerate any bad language, hate or any pointless comments about the situation in Ukraine. This is not a forum for discussion about the conflict! OK!?
@@torbjornahman Tråkigt. Internets baksida är alla de som ska vara lite edgy och ifrågasätta fakta. Så för din sinnesro ska du nog stänga ner dom. Hur som helst fantastiskt jobbat som vanligt!
@UCSFaYYQzNMLo2U6rSNLpghg You're a hypocrite. Your country has done everything possible to start this conflict in Ukraine. For 8 years you were silent when you killed Russians in eastern Ukraine. They pumped up the Nazis with weapons. Now you suddenly began to worry about Ukraine. Why didn't you worry about the children of Donbass who were killed by Ukrainians for 8 years?
I totally agree, sir. My heart, too, goes out to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. No negative vibes, man!
Дякую за те що не лишаєтесь байдужим та допомогаєте моїй країні. Перемога буде за нами!
@@DesertOwlForge ты это о тех украинцах которым подконтрольная Путину Венгрия раздавала паспорта как конфетки детям? Что-то я не припомню ни одного уголовного дела связанного с этим, и уж тем более запрета на политическую деятельность. Хватит врать. Всем известно что Венгрия - вторая Белорусь. Сателлит Путина.
You're a good man Torbjorn. Thanks for doing this and creating a way for your viewer community to show our love and support.
You have a kind heart and gentle soul. The video and Sunflower came out wonderful. I thought the music choice was perfect.
Thanks John! I was quite pleased with the video and how it all came out. Now I'm mostly depressed since people or trolls can't appreciate that I decide to raise money for humans (mostly woman and kids) in need.
@Torbjörn Åhman I noticed that you deleted the pinned post and I thought it might be because of the trolls. But They are such a small number of your viewers that in the end their comments don't really matter. Its tough to have to deal with them, probably the most objectionable part of being on RUclips. The other 99.9% of us are on your side.
@@BlackBearForge I agree with you completely 100%
John is right. You should always be proud of doing kind deeds.
@Geoff Lybeck In that sense, you are not one of the trolls Geoff ... You haven't seen the Russian comments.... The argument with the colors is irrelevant. Anything I would have done, for the same reason, could have been interpreted as "political". If I ask commenters to be nice and avoid the "conflict" subject, to avoid controversy and endless hate threads, what is wrong with that? There are plenty of forums for that I'm sure.
We also made sunflowers for the ukraine at the national school of blacksmithing in england and raised over £3000 for refugees. Very nice work and good on you for wanting to help the refugees.
Great! Thanks
May I ask which organization you donated to?
@@torbjornahman никакие
@@torbjornahman im donating to savelife found. This found supports Ukrainian armed forces
The college at Holme Lacy ?
I am from Russia, St-Petersburg, watchin your videos for many years. There are lot of Russian people also stand with Ukraine against the war. Great work! Many people of my country is wathing your channel. It's essential to show something like that peaceful Russians hasn't felt alone.
Может стоит таки ухать на Украину, раз ты так за неё болеешь? Не думала об этом?
Как это современно, стоять рядом с украинцами против войны. И так много лет, наверное с 2014? Или раньше? Наверное стоит примкнуть к украинцам на их земле.
@@user-rq8mz2qp2m С точки зрения банальной диалектики это какая-то насмешка. Каждый кто пишет "если ты против войны - ты против России" должен признать что для него "Россия - это война". Для меня Россия - это моя родина. И она погибает от этой войны. Не от других войн, в которых участвует Россия даже прямо сейчас, например в ЦАР или Сирии. Наверное, тебе стоит примкнуть к россиянам на украинской земле? Разве нет?
@@anastasiatretiakova8722 возможно. Если Верховный объявит мобилизацию.
@@anastasiatretiakova8722 , вы молодец! Почему-то большинство адекватных россиян пишут именно из С-Петербурга. Разрешите поддержать вас! Курск.
I took a long stick & painted sunflowers on it for my mother . I am planning sunflowers . What you did my seem like a drop in the bucket . However they're are many drops going into that bucket , & what you did will inspire more drops . One day soon the bucket will be filed . Many people are helping . Many more will come to help too
I have been watching your videos for several years and I am learning blacksmithing thanks to you! How glad I am that I was not mistaken in you! My homeland Ukraine is now fighting bravely for its future. We are happy for any support! We dream that this horror will end soon and millions of sunflowers will bloom in the fields of our Motherland! Thank you, and welcome!
What a great thing to do, every bit of help for the people of Ukraine is needed. The detail on the center of the flower is stunning. Best wishes to you...
Torbjörn, thank you for support and humanity.
Best regards from Kyiv.
Keep fighting out there! My heart goes out to you.

I think you are an extraordinarily gifted blacksmith and artisan. This was an especially moving episode. I love watching you work!
Thank you!
The work you put into "stamping" the sunflower center was amazing...you have tremendous patience and dexterity!
It would be wonderful if artisans around the world could produce items that could be auctioned off and the funds donated 100%. Your gesture in that regard is very commendable and humanitarian.
Thank you for supporting my country in such a beautiful way! It is much appreciated, by us blacksmiths of Ukraine and all other people!
Only one hour old and this piece has already raised more money than I can afford to bid on. I will donate what I can directly to ICRC. Thank you Torbjörn!
Donate all you have. Selensky needs another villa.
Thank you from Ukraine!
Thank you for supporting our country. I am writing to you from the occupied city of Kherson, in the south of Ukraine.
❤️❤️❤️💪🏼🇺🇦
Thank you for supporting our country. I'm from Kharkiv
You can tell you really put your heart into that. A labour of love.
We did this exact thing in college. I must say this one is much nicer baring in mind we made about 500. So a much higher production so you would naturally expect lower quality in a short period of time. It’s nice to see support for Ukraine. Great job!!
Great!
Благодарим за поддержку!! 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️🌻
This flower is beautiful. Thanks for doing this.
I am from Ukraine. Thank you for your support, Torbjörn!!!
Thank you for your attention. Love from Kharkiv. ❤️🔥
Ст.м. Защитников Украины на связи!)))
Я хренею от того какие блогеры нас поддерживают! Харьков - Город Герой!
You truly know where to shine the light of hope into the dark corners where hate likes to lurk. You inspire so many by your videos to create and not destroy. If only there were more people like you, this world could become what it was always meant to be.
Thanks!!
Dziękuję Ci,to co zrobiłeś jest bardzo ważne
Jestem z Polski

It is very important for us to have so many Friends around the world!
Glory to Ukraine!

When I see the events in Ukraine, my heart goes black and I want mindless vengeance for the innocents who have, are and will suffer. Your beautiful little flower has gone a long way to reminding me that goodness is all around us, waiting to restore our souls from the ravages of the darkness that lurks within us all. Thank you Torbjörn .
Thanks! It means a lot.
А вы не видели действий Украины за прошедшие 8 лет?
What a beautiful project, and great work. I’m actually growing some sunflowers right now.
Дякуємо що Ви з нами !
Гарна робота. Соняшник - символ України !

Very beautiful sunflower for Ukraine, very thoughtful. Thank you for supporting Ukraine, your support is very important because it’s personal and a moral support for a people who are suffering. Thank you for sharing your video. God bless you and your family.
Torbjorn,The huge seas are made of endless drops of water,your gesture is wonderful and inspiring for doing good,anywhere.Thank you for your beautiful drop of skilled handmade
WOW. That turned out beautiful. Someone is going to be very lucky receiving such a work of art. You're a very kind man Torbjörn.
Torbjörn, this turned out beautifully. Always remember, you cannot please everyone. What you’re doing is commendable and I respect you even more for doing this. If everyone could do as you are and put a little good into the world, even if it’s in a small way, what a world it would be!
Bravo! Well done!
It‘s Your way of sympathy! Thank you! 🌻
In your hands, cold metal warms the souls of many people! Thank you for the miracles you do!
A beautiful piece to help those caught in a terrible situation. You have a good heart, Torbjörn.
Pure awesomeness. I'm happy to know that people like Tornbjorn live among us. Thanks you very much!
Дякую Вам! Я з України! Thank you from Ukraine!
You're a good man Thunder Bear. I appreciate you using your talents and platform for humanitarian efforts. Much respect and good will to you
Thank you Torbjörn from your old subscriber from Ukraine. You’re a very good man
I have always thought you were a good honest man and this proves it. Well done.
With the linseed oil dripping off the sunflower it made me feel like it was tears of Ukraine
Once again an original project full of common sense, let's hope that Ukraine will be reborn through this flower🇺🇦🌻, a whole symbol of respect
thank you for your support!
Beautiful video and beautiful project. I hope it generates a lot of funds and mostly hope for those affected by this conflict.
Cheers, Mark
Simply stunning!!! Bless you for the support of the proceeds going to Ukraine.
One of a kind masterpiece. Thanks for supporting the cause and prayers for world peace. May God Bless all
One of the most beautiful and poignant pieces you have ever made. Tak
Once again another masterpiece and it's going to a good cause. Thank you Torbjorn. God bless you.
Your Sunflower is Beautiful and so was the thoughtfulness of it as well. Thank you friend! There is too much hate! I grew up a violent man, but as an adult I’ve asked for forgiveness and realized my good intentions were wrongly administered. I will join you if you don’t mind and make a Sunflower as well for Ukraine 🇺🇦?
God bless you & your family. Thanks for support for Ukraine
Well done sir! In the end its always civilians that suffer the most.
That sunflower is beautiful i bet the people in Ukraine would love a gift like that you did an awesome job. I love your channel it's so entertaining and relaxing watching you make things.
Дяка Вам за підтримку! В ці темні часи ще краще помітні світлі!
Thanks for helping.
I'm from Ukraine. Thank you very much for your support.
thank you. I haven't been able to contact my cousins since conflict began. I appreciate all your efforts and, as always, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. God Bless.
Wow man! You are awesome! Thx a lot!
Ukraine, Lviv.
Very nice work Trob, the pinholes in the pattern sure made my eyes spin! Thanks for your effort to help Ukraine!
BEAUTIFUL WORK IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD BID ON THE AUCTION JUST FOR THE SUPPORT OF UKRAINE.
BUT I'M ON A SMALL PENSION
GOD LOVE WHAT EVER GOD YOU HAVE CHOSEN.
Thank you from Ukraine. Very touching.
Дякую тобі друже!
Дякую за підтримку нашої країни!
Дякую що люди переживають за нашу державу.
Дякую що не залишаєтесь в стороні від нашої біди з сторони росії.
Дай Бог, щоб ні Ви, ні Ваші діти, ні Ваша країна не пережила такої біди, як це зараз переживає Україна!
А как же дети Донбасса и мирные жители, которых восемь лет убивали нацисты батальонов Азов и Айдар?
Не забудь подякать тем, кто срывает гум. миссии, пичкает страну оружием, растягивая конфликт и увеличивая жертвы, закрывает глаза на насилие над мирными жителями, предает основы мирового права забвению. Лицемерие нынче - норма, видимо. Стальной подсолнух поможет ситуации, обязательно. Сколько было и будет конфликтов подобного рода, но только на этот всем резко стало не поебать.
Только не обижайтесь, у каждого своя правда и только время расставит все точки над И. Вопрос насколько каждый готов далеко зайти в своей правде.
I'm not someone who is taken to tear often but between the music and the reasons I had teared up towards the end of the video.. Bravo great work
Щиро вдячний за вашу підтримку. Для нас усіх важливо знати, що ми не залишаємось наодинці.
Peaceful beauty…your efforts in making this extraordinary piece will be cherished by someone, and funds raised will help many. You have added goodness to this world.
Truly a masterpiece. The gesture is heartwarming and thank you for doing this.
Very kind and thoughtful gesture, God bless you.
What a powerful show of support for the folks in Ukraine. A job well done.
Such a kind deed! Craftsman and empathetic! Love the work. Thanks for doing this for the All those who are in need! Keep it up!
A great work of art! At just the right time to deliver your message to the world.
I am late to the game on this one, but as I watched you make this piece, as with all of your others you poured your soul into it. Yet this it seemed your feelings went into the mix and it was not without merit. Emotion shows in a persons work. Kudos to you, sir. Job very well done on another piece and what it was for.
Great idea! You are the best!
What a stunning piece, and one that is going for a very worthy cause! Thank you Torbjörn!
What a fantastic idea. It was so lovely and fascinating to watch you make it.
A beautiful piece of art Torbjorn - truly stunning and crafted from the heart. I'm so sorry you've had to feel the negativity of our world. Well done for doing your bit to support such a worthy cause.
You are a first-rate craftsman. I have always enjoyed your videos. This one touches the heart. I just shared it on my forge's Facebook page.
Great job. Totally agree with your cause. In my opinion (totally subjective of course) I would not have painted it. Maybe I'm just a pure iron romantic. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina
Great idea! Wonderful contribution of a convinced blacksmith. Just placed my bid. Greetings from Germany.
Outstanding craftsmanship brother 👏. Thanx for sharing. GBU
Beautiful! I hope the the flower raises a ton of money. Let keep the Ukrainian people in our hearts and prayers.
Very cool! I planted some sunflower seeds today...
Thank you for your support for our people. Peace and love to you ❤🇺🇦🌻
2014-2022 !Donbass!
Beautiful work🙏😀
Great work, thank you for your support!
Very kind and thoughtful gesture, Torbjörn. Make no mistake, the One Infinite Creator knows where your heart is and that is all that matters.
there is no "one infinite creator" bro
@@NatCo-Supremacist Respectfully, why do you feel the need to say that? I know you could say the same with the original comment but they were simply expressing their appreciation. At this point I’ve heard variations of what you’ve said so many times it’s just plain annoying.
God bless you, Torbjorn!
Another GREAT piece, really is stunning, so much patience and work, thanks for sharing the creation with us. When you put the stencil on the centre piece, before you grabbed it, I thought to myself, "better pull up a chair/stool that's going to take a while" and then you did :-) Really love the entire piece, but have to say, how you captured the centre portion/seeded area is amazing.
Wish you all the best with the auction, every little bit anyone can donate will help with this very bad situation.
Thank you very much!
Big hearted gesture from a very talented blacksmith, always a pleasure to watch, thank you
That sunflower came out just beautiful and looking very natural👍
A beautiful and kind gesture to support the refugees and people of Ukraine fleeing war not of their own making. Good on you. I hope you raise a good amount!
Thank you for supporting the Ukrainian people! Horrible what is happening! God’s Blessings to you for helping and for all the Ukrainian people!
Very beautiful act of kindness. This flower turned out very beautiful and unique design there. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Weld on. Fab On. Keep making. God bless.
Also thanks for making your donation to the CICR. There are many cobbled-together initiatives these days, and though their hearts be in the right place, the reality is that they don’t have good odds of getting their donations all the way to Ukraine.
Thank you for your kind gesture and your generosity. Slava Ukraini.
Once again I am blown away by the skill you always share and for you to do this for such a noble cause leaves me speechless. Well done and thank you
Thanks!
