Hi Torbjörn. I am Elizaveta Polikashina. I accidentally saw your video and I want to say that I am very pleased to see my name in the description of the video. The cat turned out great!
Thank you so much! I saw pictures of your animals about a year ago, and they stuck to my mind, and when we got the kittens I thought it would be a great time to try something along the same concept. I think you have balanced the amount of detail perfectly together with simple lines. Less is more so to speak! :) I might have added too much detail but I'm quite pleased anyway.

There is nothing not to love about this video. Great tool making, new kittens that seem right at home plus a great project that brings a smile to a childs face. Thank you for sharing.
Those things are filled with sentiment, and memories. Everyone will remember the time, the kittens, and the happiness that is now and will be with them. That piece of art will go with your child forever, and they will always remember you and the love you had for them....I admire your skill, commitment, and thoughtfulness. It made me shed a tear. We need more of this in today's world! Bless you.
I love your attention to detail...the tail bend, the flat spot below the cat nose, matching the finish, the precision of the stamp...all reasons why I watch every one of your videos. Nice to see your kids getting an intro to your craft.
I am so pleased to see this video, not only because of your excellent work, but because your child was helping you in the smithy. My fondest memories of my father are of the hours and hours we spent in his workshop - almost always in silence. Either I helped him with his projects or we worked together on separate projects. He taught me so many skills. I cherish those memories now that he is gone, and to this day I love watching videos of RUclips makers - probably because of those hours I spent with my dad. Thank you so very much.
Your videos are an example to all RUclipsrs- beautiful camerawork to show exactly what you are doing, no unnecessary commentary and no intrusive 'music' ! You are also a fine blacksmith, with an artistic side.
It's good to get the young ones into the shop. My apprentice is my 6 year old granddaughter. She likes to sweep the floor, paint stuff, and hit things with a hammer. Frequently my fingers. Great work, TA.
I'm Sorry but is your life as peaceful as shown in your videos. Watching you work just puts a calmness over me. you make such beautiful pieces no mater how simple or complex they are. then seeing you out in the yard or canning and any of the other wonderful things you do is so nice and calming. thank you for sharing.
Today we get two projects in one! That's a really nice stamp. The cat is great. I love the family touches you put into your videos. Your children are adorable. You could be training up the next great blacksmith/artist there.
I don't know when my heart melted the most, getting the kittens, them playing, the hot in your kids' faces, your daughter helping, you giving the steel cat to her... it was all adorable, thank you for sharing this with us!
That was the most touching and special video I have seen and still involved blacksmithing. You sir are a great dad and I hope you're children always remember what a great father they have. God bless
The kiddo’s were such a great addition to this video. Thanks for posting. This is the first of yours I’ve seen. I’m impressed not only by the quality editing and content, but by the wholesome feeling that makes me want to smile after watching it. Keep up the good work!
Every blister, every ache, every lesson from failure, every single hammer blow so profoundly worth those few seconds of utter joy from your daughters reaction and smile. A lesson that the world would do well to relearn. Thank you for the smile Torbjörn.
Ron Mexico - Dad, we want kittens. - said the kids - No problem! - said the father, taking a piece of metal, a couple hammers - and went to the forge. :)
That is a great little project, and I like your ingenuity to hold the stamp quite impressive. But the looks on your children's faces spectacular. It's not hard to see what a loving family you have, blessings to you all.
Your videos always make the world a better place. Best form of recycling ever! Also nice to see the family involved. Gives them perspective and skills very few people will ever enjoy.
Watching a 18 minutes cat video to the end ! What a life ! Cats and kids at home, all the time to enjoy for yourself, all the blacksmithing work will be done by the children and the cats get the food from the gras field ! Everything works fine !
I love that there is only the tools sound, no background music, no talking, just, tools sound. Very nice pice, 🐱 my respect for your knowledge, years of working ⚒🙂👍
Вам не сложно переводить мои комментарии? Как хорошо что сын умеет держать молот. Котята отличные, в России такие же, с похожим поведением. Вероятно кошки везде одинаковые. Железный котёнок выглядит здорово. Вот только сделайте вертикальные зрачки в его глазах.
I am thoroughly impressed......I kept thinking in the beginning, "I don't know what he is making, but that isn't a piece of angle iron", and later thinking, "He makes this project look too easy". Thank you for the excellent video, for there is something great about watching an expert working with superior skill.
Torbjorn Mis felicitaciones!!!! Un verdadero "MAESTRO" con todas las letras, como solemos decir por los pagos de Argentina. En todos sus trabajos y creaciones.
Ok, so I would never have thought a blacksmithing video would have brought tears to my eyes! The love you have for your children is so beautiful! Your daughter did an amazing job helping you and as always you produced a work of art, I just knew you were going to give it to her! Everything about this video warmed my heart! Thanks for sharing this my friend, you made my day!
This wonderful video brought such a joy to my wife and me this evening, we want to thank you very sincerely. This video is one of the most delightful impressions we have had in years.
I was so impressed with the beauty and simplicity of the cats, that I made two for some friends. I found, however, another method or sequence in the forging that worked easier for me. I did all the cutting out of the head and waist, the eyes, nose and whiskers on the vise BEFORE separating and forming the tail. It was MUCH easier to clamp in the vise and do all that without the tail in the way, then I quickly cut out and formed the tail and feet.
Beautiful work, as always. I particularly liked the texture you got on the body, which was mostly a byproduct of the normal hammering but worked purrfectly to mimic the cats fur.
Oh My Gosh that is so adorable! I love how he had his daughter help him. That is something that she will always have and cherish because it is form her dad and she helped make it.
Amazing as always. Made the punch awhile ago but, life. Gave the rest a try today but lost the tail while putting in the feet. Rewatched and see several reasons why mine was week there. I'll give it another go shortly, I owe my wife a valentines day present still and she loved this cat. once that's done I've got to find reasons to put cat eyes on things now that I've got the ability, lol But the thing about this post that no one seems to have addressed (I admit I didn't read all 1k comments) is those shorts, lol.
A beautiful video in every way...it almost makes it seem like the world was normal and happy again. Best wishes to you and your family and stay healthy.

I wouldn't care if I was allergic to cats, I just live with taking antihistimines forever. I love my cats too much to be without them.

Wow Kirsten, that almost brought a tear to my eye. Thanks
Not for the first time I am reminded that blacksmithing, of all the crafts, is a form of magic. Thank you.

Wow, thank you!
Absolutely one of the best video you' ve ever done ! I would call it " emotional blacksmithing ".All my esteem !
Thank you!!
What a lovely ornament and workmanship. I love the way you involve your children.
It's good to get the young ones into the shop. My apprentice is my 6 year old granddaughter. She likes to sweep the floor, paint stuff, and hit things with a hammer. Frequently my fingers. Great work, TA.
Very good to see your daughter getting involved in blacksmithing. We need to see more ladies doing blacksmithing. Keep encouraging her. 👍
That's the cutest steel cat I've ever seen...
I got completely sucked in by the procedure, the measured pace, the kiddos and kitties! Thank you! Beautiful.
:)
wow another perfect piece of art, and what nice kittens, and a proud father
WOW! Watching you work metal is like watching a master fly tier tie size 18 dry flies with a magnifying glass...blows me away!
Ok, it's a video with Torbjörn's blacksmithing AND kittens, what could go wrong? Instalike for sure 😻😻

Awesome work and technique belying the skill involved. The memories we make with our children last a lifetime in both our and our children's memories.
When I read the title I couldn't even imagine how that would go. It turned out awesome ! I love cats ;-)
It warms my heart to see your children involved in your projects.
Как приятно смотреть когда отец учит своё дитя , он вырастит и всю жизнь будет рад чему его научил папа ... счастья вам.👍👍👍👍👍спасибо за вашу работу .

Thanks!
legit my favourite videos on youtube. always excited when these get uploaded
Wow, thanks!!
👍me too. We know it's going to be a quality build and video and sometimes we get a surprise bonus like the kids.
Ah thank you Torborn! This is the kind of video that I can just relax and watch without all the craziness of my country.
- Папа, хотим котят. - сказали дети.
- Нет проблем! - сказал отец, взял кусок железа, несколько молотков - и пошел в кузницу. :)
Ah yes i understand

- No problem! - said the father, taking a piece of metal, a couple hammers - and went to the forge. :)
Papa, wir wollen Kätzchen. - sagten die Kinder.

Your striker showed some impressive skill. A great teacher and Smith.
Glad you showed the safety precautions with hearing protection. Excellent job.
Absolutely amazing. The kittens are adorable.
Top video once again!
Thanks!
it's incredible how much dedication and work is put into just creating a press for the eyes.
"Everybody wants to be a cat,
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at!" Nicest cat eye punch I ever saw! ;-)
You're a beautiful person Torb, and wonderful father by the looks of it. Keep up the great vids.
That little angle iron cat is the "cat's meow"...very cute. Gotta make one for a friend who has cats.
I saw most of your amazing job, but this clip you did an outstanding piece and don’t forget to thank little angel for helping you. God bless you all
Thank you so much!
7:38 Awww how cute are those kittens ? ? :) Oh that's right, fantastic skills you have Torbjorn, another great video
That is a great little project, and I like your ingenuity to hold the stamp quite impressive. But the looks on your children's faces spectacular. It's not hard to see what a loving family you have, blessings to you all.
Who needs a power hammer with a help like that? :-D

Theres no greater joy than seeing your children smile and there's no doubt yours loved that cat. Good job.
Your children would be proud on their Dad.
Beautiful art you made. Thanks for the upload as I enjoyed the process and the result.

I love cats, and that figurine is the cat's meow.
Gorgeous work. Making the punch for the eyes was simply fantastic.
Man, just to warn you... Make or buy a sisal scratching pole before the cats find the sofa.
子供たちの愛らしさ、猫のかわいらしさ、確かな技術に裏打ちされた力強い鍛冶作業、持ち味の質素で端正、かつ繊細な作品と、スウェーデンの美しい風景が渾然一体となった素晴らしい映像だと思います。
What a lovely video, a lovely piece, and lovely children/father moments. Such artistry and love. Thank you 🙏

That is one of the most beautiful vids I have seen. So loving that you share it with your child. What a beautiful gift.
Att kolla på dina videos är som meditation för mig, med bonusen att man får se någon ha ett kreativt utlopp, vilket alltid är spännande.
Tack!
I said this before on another video but letting your kid be apart of your craft is awesome I’m sure he will remember it forever.
Does the heart good to see the young one helping out it does brings back great memories . Happy trails

The fact that you used the oxidize metal is briliant as it gave the whole piece a unique texture.

That's fantastic to hear! Thank you.
Nice cat. Nice kittens. And it's always good to see a craftsman take on an apprentice.
Thanks for all your videos, always a chance to learn. Nice to see you have strikers. Try every thing once, to learn what you like or don't like..
Excellent craftsmanship, even better fatherhood!

we enjoyed your presentation . that piece could be displayed in a museum .
You're right there is something Egyptian about it :) :)
Another masterpiece from the wisdom of the simple. Greetings from Monterrey, NL, Mexico ...
Best striker in training! And some very cool kitties. The metal one turned out excellent. 👍
Beautiful work, as always. I particularly liked the texture you got on the body, which was mostly a byproduct of the normal hammering but worked purrfectly to mimic the cats fur.
Thanks. Yes, the texture was mostly from the weathered and rusty surface.
Fanbloodytastic, Sir. Your hammer work, design skills, ideas and production values are exemplary.
Oh My Gosh that is so adorable! I love how he had his daughter help him. That is something that she will always have and cherish because it is form her dad and she helped make it.
This is such a "open for surprise" video. Lovely the kittens, lovely the figurine, lovely the everything
Thank you so much!
Es ist erstaunlich das ein solches Video mehr Unterhaltungswert hat wie das abendliche Fernsehprogramm 👍

Outstanding as always. Turning raw products into life.
