Go for it Dan! I hope and encourage you to develop a passion for blacksmithing. Taking on and learning an old time skill is so rewarding, from an Aussie saddlemaker.
My grandpa was a blacksmith and he died before I was born. Seeing a blacksmith create something is so incredibly fascinating; I can't help but wonder what my grandfather forged back then.
@@vraspus Separate the two statements. The sharpest scissors I've ever seen | made by hand from a coil spring. He's effectively saying, "(How unexpected!) The sharpest scissors I've ever seen (have been) made by hand from a coil spring!!! (This shows that you are very proficient at your craft!)"
These will last several lifetimes... we need to do away with this idea of buying something cheap and throwing it away as buying another is cheaper... I know there are people out there who would pay for this kind of stuff and know that it would last or at least could be repaired / sharpened rather than thrown away into landfill. Great work :)
Exactly right! I’ve started building furniture out of reclaimed wood for people. I don’t want to build a kitchen table for you.....I want to build it for you, your children, your grandchildren. That’s the level of craftsmanship you’re watching here.
I can appreciate the level of difficulty with this project and you have executed this creation with Swiss Watch precision. Outstanding Torbjorn, very well done. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you!
Не перестаёт удивлять! Истинно творческий подход, и мастер своего дела! Браво! Спасибо за предоставленное удовольствие от увиденного!!! Успехов, и крепкого здоровья!
The difference between quality and cheap garbage is incredible. Definitely a high quality piece of art. I turn pens for a hobby, so I appreciate the hours and hours of work that goes into each piece. Excellent job, my friend!
This is KEWL !!! And, you're right...it IS nerve wracking when you're putting the blade curve in for shear-action, because of the fact...the blade is SO HARD, its brittle and the least bit past the strength ledge, the blade will SNAP! I like the you LOVE the steel. Being gentle and taking your time to coax the metal into what's in your mind's eye! Beautiful! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your tallent!
I agree. I earlier made a general comment to the affect that this embodies myself and my family’s viewing preferences exclusively. Nothing else does that. Great comment!
I remember seeing a similar process for crafting scissors in India in the 1990s, the blades were made from old worn out hi carbon steel hand files with handles made from cast brass and riveted to the blades. I purchased about a dozen of various sizes and still have and use them. This is a fantastic video, keep up your good work Mr Torbjorn.
This is a lost art!!! As a beginner blacksmith to see everything come together perfectly!! Everything meeting, matching and from the looks.... Damn sharp!! Beautiful work i will try to watch more video. As a 44 year old, single, disabled father of two ,5&9, year old young men these are the types of skills im passing on. Some of these videos folks just like to hear themselves talk?!?! Very informative video without the extra bs. From a beginner without allot of time for bs.... Thx!!
Torb, you are a beautiful soul in whose parents must take great pride. You are far more than a technical blacksmith. I and many appreciate the long hours required to design, stage, record, edit an share your excellent videos. You are a treasure and I hope you continue posting on You Tube for as long as you remain inspired and you do so in excellent health. Thank you for the privilege of "working along side" in your shop. From a long time subscriber in North Idaho, USA.
You are a perfect craftsman, you are a true artist. You have the original ideas that you execute with elegance. I admire you how much you like to model wood, iron, but also how much you like flowers and beautiful. Congratulations, bravo, and further success.
Hi Torbjorn, fantastic piece of craftmanship showing great detail and emphasis on getting the blades just right. Love the "interlude" with Junior making the charging stand. Great video and a pleasure watching.
That is just amazing! The level of skill involved in making a pair of functional AND beautiful scissors by hand is really impressive! Are you sure, you're not some kind of wizard?
You are an artist. Not just because your product looks nice but more that you have taken time and command of the medium, ( as much as it will let you...), and can manipulate it to match your intent. Thank you for sharing. Watching you is not only inspiring but it reinforces my beliefs that hard work, practice and endurance are still valued in some of us.
Thanks Mitsuko! It's not always me in command... sometimes the material will form itself in a way that makes me rethink the initial design, but that is also a part of the creative process.
I love your work....When I get in my forge of which is a shed with little venting..so my forage is outside of doorway...my problems is often bburning my project up and blisters from over heating....Also I don't have your skill with your hammer. At age 67 just started near first of last year....but I try to stay safe and loving the black smithing and so of the rewards....mostly building my folks garden tools. I have "invented" a weeding tool everyone who try it loves it. Thank you are "Tthe Master Black Smith "....I say you are the best Sir.
People always say 'the art of Blacksmithing', I, and my family always refer to it as the 'Art and Science of Blacksmithing' - this would be an excellent example. Wonderful. Bravo! (PS I loved your son's project, need to inspire mine lot a little more I think :-) ).
Its so inspiring to see this caliber of craftsmanship. You and your tools become one and the joy of what you are teaching your children is priceless. Absolutely beautiful work, thank you for sharing your gifted talents!
Watching this reveals truly how much of an art smithing is. You can go from using a power hammer slamming the billet, all the way to deliCTe dinks to make the curl. It’s truly beautiful
Как всегда. Вижу этого дядьку, ставлю палец. Спасибо за видео, всегда жду, очень вдохновляет то терпение с которым ты всё делаеш. Мне приходится делать всё не скорость и количество изделий, и такая спешка влияет на работы которые действительно нужно сделать качественно. После просмотра я чувствую некоторое спокойствие, а это действительно важно для кузнеца. Спасибо.
What a beautiful man an the pretty and fine works he is able to do. I am always watching his pretty steel works. I would like to buy some of creations, but l live in México and I do not know how could it be. Congratulations Torbjorn Ahman.
When you were first cutting the paper I thought it was very impressive. Then when you cut the jeans like they were tissue paper I was blown away! Well done!
Learned a few things thanks to this video. I should be able to improve some of my embroidery scisors that were getting problematic from use thanks to it thanks you.
For sure! I loved the intermission part, the phone/tablet charger stand. Very sweet and charming. Was going to say maybe you've adopted some of the Jimmy Deresta videography techniques? That's a GOOD thing, I love the non-narrated shop videos, it almost feels like I'm in my shop working with nobody to have to talk to.
Beautiful work and of course they perform perfectly! When you were hammering the curve into the blades I was wondering how nerve wracking it must have been...then your note showed at the bottom of the screen!
You are a true artist my friend. I pray you have an apprentice that is learning your skills. Just too important to not pass on your knowledge. Wonderful work!
Watching your videos is like meditating for me. Always been a fan of people making stuff with their bare hands (plus some basic tools). Great content. Subscribed.
Is there anything you can't do with steel? So far, I'm impressed by everything you forge, hammer and temper. I guess Thunder Bear is the Swiss Army Knife of blacksmithing.
You do a fantastic job and i love the shots in the middle of the videos. It really brings out the beauty of spending time with kids and or nature. Keep being awesome!!!
My absolute favourite of your videos! I’ve wanted to forge a pair of scissors since I bought an old pair at a salvage market years ago, not got the skills yet but I’m working on it! Flippin brilliant

When you see them cutting jeans like butter, you gotta know and admit that they are some dang impressive pair of scissors.
do you spread your butter over your toast with scissors?

@@TheNomad2727 I would with scissors like these.
@lioness of lechistan Unrealistic? Kitchen shears?
Seeing you at the very end looking around your greenhouse for things to snip. After such an involved project, I’d be the very same!
Complete with the snipping hand motion as well lol
This channel has inspired me to persue an interest in blacksmithing and this man is a absolute legend in my book!!
Thanks Dan!!
Go for it Dan! I hope and encourage you to develop a passion for blacksmithing. Taking on and learning an old time skill is so rewarding, from an Aussie saddlemaker.
This makes me want to learn blacksmithing,,
If you feel like it then try and see if you like it
Me too
Me too man, me too
Videos like Torbjörns got me in to blacksmithing :) and soon (if i get accepted to the school) I will study blacksmithing
Please don’t stop making these videos. The vice trick? Absolutely brilliant
This is beautiful. I'm addicted to watching artists create on RUclips- What a time to be alive, watching people work like this!
qàà1
Antonia, Aussie saddlemaker here. I encourage you to take up and learn an old time skill of your own choosing. It is so rewarding.
This is the first time I've ever said,
"Damn, i need to buy a pair of scissors like that."
Hannibal Lecter you can get a crappy version at Harbor Freight, and at some Asian grocery stores but nice Japanese shears can come at a premium
Bro there's some Bonsai scissors that cost like 20k I think, great craftsmanship I guess
@@Thalor Time to get into bonsai-ing then lol
My grandpa was a blacksmith and he died before I was born. Seeing a blacksmith create something is so incredibly fascinating; I can't help but wonder what my grandfather forged back then.
When he heard the rain that was the face and the body motion of "what in tarnation'
i just cried watching hima nd his son paint it is 4 am i have lost my mind
ok mood
we r the same person
Very impressive! The sharpest scissors I've ever seen made by hand from a coil spring!!! You are a master craftsman!!!
How many other sharp scissors made by hand from a coil spring have you seen in general to make such a statement?
@@vraspus
Separate the two statements.
The sharpest scissors I've ever seen | made by hand from a coil spring.
He's effectively saying, "(How unexpected!) The sharpest scissors I've ever seen (have been) made by hand from a coil spring!!! (This shows that you are very proficient at your craft!)"
You live a beautiful life, Torbjorn. Makes me so happy to see you being creative with your son. Who knows what he might make someday
The most difficult stage in the scissors industry is straight balancing ..... excellent work
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
These will last several lifetimes... we need to do away with this idea of buying something cheap and throwing it away as buying another is cheaper...

Very kind! Thank you!
The man made his own washers and it looked absolutely amazing to watch seriously I could watch that all day
Love your videos all stuff and no fluff. Admire your talent, persistence, and patience, and it takes all 3! Thank you.
Minecraft never lied. Blacksmiths are pretty awesome people and with a anvil, tools can last forever.
Pebble Or the tools can be reforged when they break.
9:01 At this point I would forget how hot it was and pick it up with my bare hand...seriously
Very nice results btw!
Me too lol
Exactly what I was thinking, like you drop it on the floor, would be so tempted to just pick it up with bare hands...
You would only do that once....
@@pfadiva unfortunately I've done that a couple of times, not fun.
Just a young welder and fabricator, admiring those blacksmithing skills!

Amazing result and very satisfying process to get there.
Beautiful work, functional art. It's always a pleasure to hear the lullaby your hammer sings and the story it tells. Thank you!
What a skill let’s hope this art never disappears
That is just amazing! The level of skill involved in making a pair of functional AND beautiful scissors by hand is really impressive! Are you sure, you're not some kind of wizard?
Binge watching your videos during insomnia.. Not too loud for the rest of the sleeping house and strangely relaxing! Beautiful
It's a brave man who hammers on hardened spring steel, even if it has been tempered back!! Your videos are an inspiration
Mark Nickerson Can I ask why?
I love how you let your son help with some of the stuff you make . and also in this video the little 'side project' with the phones.

wow! this is the real work... not just like so many others on yt that use only machines..
Skilled and artful work. Restores my faith.
Great work! Love the little side project with your son!
It deserves to be kept for many many years or even centuries!
Watching you working was a real pleasure. The result is a master piece! I wish I had one of my own!
Beautiful workmanship.
Beautiful scissors! I always enjoy watching your work, seeing them in action was very satisfying.
Making tools is not only about their utilities and durability but its about the art and perfection invested in them . .

Thanks! Yes it works very well!
Always good to see father and son projects come to fruition!
Wow I love the design. The scissors look beautiful
Thanks!
