- Watch me make a brick hammer from scratch. A somewhat challenging project as I tried to match a given weight and size. It turned out ok I think.

I’m a geologist in the US. This type of hammer in the US is called a Masons Hammer and I have found this to be a much more useful shape to use in exploring rocks than a rock hammer. The downside of yours is that it’s beautiful and I wouldn’t want to mess it up. Amazing work.
Ah, nice! I used to pick mineral samples at old mines here in Sweden. I think a ordinary geologist hammer is harder and this one would probably wear quite fast.
I was gona comment that it’s good for geology too.
This is would be good for soft rocks only. For hard rocks, you really need a traditional geologist's hammer.
@@tednelson5277 True, the needle nose
@@torbjornahman can't you temper 4340 for higher hardness?
One of my absolute favorite parts of all your videos is that once the tool is finished you always show us how it's used. It's so satisfying seeing a thing be made, and then utilized for its intended purpose.
Thanks!!
It's in the title. It's a brick hammer.
@@chrisis9030 what? Idk what you're talking about man. I just clicked on a mukbang video and wanted to compliment the charming Swedish man who went through all that effort.
@@theoptimisticmetalhead7787 Yeah, I thought as much
Totally agree
The peace depicted on your videos could make the world a better place
Love the fact your tools are always so aesthetic yet functional.
It clearly demonstrates you're an artist as well as a craftsman
Thank you!
Good craft is an art. It took some time, but my dad's yelling "put that hammer back from where you took it after you finish!" payed off. Maybe it takes a bit longer to focus on details, but shortcuts usually takes twice as much time 😆
With a pretty and handy tool, work is much more satisfying.
At the end, if you can show your work and be proud of it (or at least if you can say "it's my creation" without a shame), it means you put a bit of heart in that. And if someone else works on your machine or with your tools, they can sense this.
Very often i can see if someone putting a machine together cared, or just wanted to make his/hers job done and forget about it. If i see wires in the electrical cabinet neatly put in cable trays, if connectors are crimped nicely, i can bet this cabinet will have much higher chance of functioning properly for many years, because someone who made it, simply cared about work. And this makes my job easier when I'm searching for a problem.🙂
He's also that rarest of things - a metal worker who can do woodwork!
@@paulwomack5866 Oooo sorry, a good blacksmith should always know how to haft his tools. And he is a good one 😁

45 seconds into this video and I subscribed. Why? Two reasons: You're dramatic (which I love) and you showed how to start a coal fire. I hit the bell because you're NOT a blacksmith, you're an artist of metal.
:) Thank you!
That's what you call a "Tool For Life" . As someone who has trained in metalworking (5 years apprenticeship) I can appreciate your art/craftsmanship.
I'm forever in awe at how clean your work is at every stage of the build, it's a joy to watch you in action Torbjorn!
He is a true master of his craft, and amazing filming/editing skills!
@@tbrowniscool Absolutely, I'm an experienced woodworker and I've made and fitted what seems like a hundred hammer handles over the years and I still learned a couple of little tricks from him. Thank you for sharing your skills Torbjorn, my life is richer for it!
Wow, thank you so much Pablo.
@@torbjornahman Your videos are so relaxing. I'm going through a bad time right no and I get so much relaxation watching you work. Have you ever forged an axe head before?
@@tbrowniscool Glad if I can help! Here are a couple:

I'm a bricklayer by trade myself and that looks like a 5 star working tool
Thank you!
I really liked the synergy between you and your cat. Such tenderness and mutual trust. Combined with the brute force of the blacksmith's trade, that's kind of unusual.
As I watch you make pieces like this I often muse "How many generations of the Ahman family will use this hammer and think of the man who made it and the wonderful craftmanship that went into it." You not only make beautiful tools you make legacies that will outlive you !
The geometry of this head is so pleasing
Forgot how relaxing it ts watching you create a beautiful tool with excellent videography. Almost perfect symmetry and balance with a beautiful piece of ash custom fit!! Made my Day Torbjorn, Thank You for all you bring to the community!!
PJ you always spoil me with your kind words! Thank you!
I have known this tool as a mason's hammer for 60 years I still have my great grandfather's
That hammer is a master piece! It was amazing!! 😊❤
I don't need one, I don't have any bricks that need hammering. But I now want a brick hammer.
The best thing about a die grinder with a carbide burr is all the tiny little metal chips it throws around at about twice the speed of light everywhere. And you get to find them in your hair and beard when you take a shower. It's like a spicy little surprise in your hair.
:) I know! It's fun, isn't it?!
I love hammers. I have a collection of hammers. I've made several little ones.
I would love to smith some hammers, but I suck at forging, and never seem to have enough time in the day to work on it. I would work at night once it's cool, but it's really loud...
Maybe I can finally make a stand for my forge soon, so I don't have to kneel when i work... that and chaining my anvil down to a stump.
Who would have thought a "Brick Hammer" could be a work of art? One made by Thunder Bear Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
:) Thanks!!
I always enjoy seeing your videos when they come up. All too often in this arena people make a video more about themselves than the subject at hand. You sir have truly nailed it!
Thanks!
Its not too much of a stretch to say you do the best work on youtube!.
Cool, thank you!!
Finished like a high end Swiss watch. Beautiful!
Everything you do becomes a work of art! I really love, what I saw as a Swedish flag at the top of the hammer, but I guess some/most people may just say it's a cross and a smart way to secure the hammer to the handle, but to me it was an obvious flag AND a beautiful way to secure the hammer + handle :) I may just be homesick, even though I'm only in the country "next door" (Norway). Your videos bring so much joy! Thank you for that.
😊 Thank you!!
Très beau travail tu et un artiste
watching you punch a hole in that piece like it was play dough made my day
Your work is amazing. This one was saving my day. No talking only working. Because this you have the best channel ever !
Your videos have to be the best smithing videos on youtube in terms of sheer technical skill and production value
Im glad that Maryland finally made it on your cabinet. I am a Marylander
This made me so happy to see because I am a mason. And this is what I have inspirations on starting making brick hammers and chisels . Hopefully some of the guys at work will buy some ! 😊 Thank you 🙏
Cool! Thanks
Wow, I never thought I'd want a rock hammer till now. 850°c is 1560°F for those of us in the States.
I'd SMILE every time I put my hand on that tool! It's simply georgeous, and a fine & wonderful thing!
Thanks for the pleasing video too, w/your cat & your bird feeder !
When I was a boy we had an older gentleman that lived across the road from us that was a brick mason. My dad had him build a large brick area in which to plant bushes. I watched him build it of course. He was more of an artist than craftsman. The end of your video reminded me of days gone by.
I love seeing you turn a piece of metal into a handy tool.
I keep on watching your videos all day...Love from India🇮🇳♥️
Torbjorn’s work is beautiful off the power hammer and the anvil. Gosh I love watching it. 💕💕. JC🌵
It's HAMMER Time, @torbjornahman!
If I could only watch one maker, it would be your videos. Thank you so much
:) Thank you!
Blacksmith and (almost) black cat. Great work. Thanks!
Great pleasure to watch and learn! Thanks a lot!

Great video, as always. takes me back to blacksmithing school...wow...20 years ago this year
Another great build . Head to my shop now. Mine wont turn out as nice, but it will be functional. Lol keep the videos coming
Great! Thanks
Like all metal work, the never ending cycle of making round things square, and square things round. Beautiful work as usual! 👍 😃
Ha ha, exactly, and for that matter finding the right tongs... the endless struggle.
Magnificent works magnificent forge tools tidy it's not like Mr. Borax lol film us again your garden with the birds it's amazing
As a bricklaying instructor and a long time fan of your videos I wholeheartedly approve of this one 👍
Very cool! Thank you!
First time I was brought to your channel and happy to find it!
Cool, thanks!!
Spectacular Brick Hammer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your forging or your wood work , both are amazing 👍
What a true Craftsman a like would be hard to find, a real joy to watch from start to finish.👍
A beauty to behold ...
So glad to see a new video from you. Thanks!
That is simply amazing. No other words for it.
Truly amazing. To pretty to use
It seems that a lot of craftsman have a love for cats. I see this often. I love cats as well. All pets. Yours looks a lot like my previous Clarabelle. Great work. Beautiful hammer.
Thank You Mr. T for Sharing your skills.
What a treat to watch!
кузница класс!!!,рукоятка "кирочки" насаживается как и на кувалде,через всю длину рукоятки-через верх кирочки.Без клиньев,не слетит(безопасно).С уважением из России.
Another beautiful masterpiece
Ah! Love seeing my states flag! Us Marylanders love our flag lol. Great work on the hammer, as always!
That has to be the most refined handle you’ve made to date!!!
May I come assist next time? Ha. That looked like tons of fun. And you get to use your new toy right away! Excellent work; practical AND aesthetically pleasing.
Spectacular work! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! You are one of a kind. Amazing work. Thanks for posting...
Depending on either the number of houses or how big the one house you build with it: If it survives that it is definitely a tool to pass on to your next generations. What a great job, it is perfect!
Gorgous work and video. Also thank you for peacefull moments in 11:55 . Deeply in love with nature and animals ✌🏻
The work of a true artisan. Thanks for letting us watch you do your magic!

Beautiful work Thunderbear!
*Its just amazing how a one block of metal/steel etc can be turned into a working tool... and you make it look so easy, for it to be done as you are so skilled in your work. Thank you.*
Beautiful work as always.
Another work of art.
Absolutely adore your work!
A classic in all possible ways 😀 Thank you!
Good job on the hammer!

Beautiful hammer, thank you for sharing your video. God bless you and your family.
Nicely done, both the hammer and the video!
Thank you kindly!
Beautiful work and beautiful video, thank you very much, I send you a hug from the south of Argentina.
Any craftsman would be delighted to use a hammer like that. An absolute gem!❤
Any brick would be glad to be broken in half by it too!
Thanks for the Great Video!!👍👍
