Probably the top smithing videos on the net. No silly music, good camerawork, excellent editing... You set the bar high, Sir. I look forward to seeing what comes next -- as long as it's not more spiders.
Wow!!! Tack Otto! Ja, det var ett slag sedan... många år innan jag fick tummen ur så att säga. Ha ha... Kul att du tycker om det jag gör. Kan du inte lämna ett meddelande på min hemsida så får jag din mailadress!?
It was a weekend course 25 years ago so I thing it’s Torbjörn’s own hard work and willingness to acquire new skills in the craft that have made the difference.
@@ottosamuelsson1317 Yeah! I'm sure both of you are great Smiths! My question (sorry, English isn't my mother language) is if you also record the way you Smith if you still do, or if you have uploaded any photo gallery that we can see :)
@Otto. I think it would be very fair to say from me personally & the many others that very much enjoy this man's smith work is to you Otto; a sincere thank you for your influence & teaching and assisting Torbjörn on his journey. Greetings from Ireland.
Beautifully forged and made with rare professionalism. What a pleasure to watch and what a joy to purchase and own. A hole punch that could be passed down maybe three generations, and it would still be the best available. thank you for a film that brought joy to an old heart that has not seen such craftmanship for fifty years.
As a woodworker I always marvel at metal workers. I work to a very tight tolerance with my wood projects, but as precise as I try to be, it never reaches the precision of a metal worker. To take a piece of steel from the forge, beat it with a power hammer and then a hand held hammer is one thing. But it is another to take it to a lathe and machine it to a very high tolerance. Wonderful.
Those are heirloom pieces. They will easily last 3x your lifetime. Such beautiful workmanship. Oh and those acorns at the end are so cute. Top 10 best channels on RUclips hands down.
Grandpa had a pair of 2 cm and 2.5 cm that came from his great great grandfather who forged them for his leather working wife. So yes, they last and they are indeed heirloom grade.
Outstanding Craftsmanship! I always love watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to film your work and present it on RUclips. I fully appreciate it.
I've been a leather crafter of western gunbelts for more than 40 years and I would pay whatever this gentleman wanted for this leather punch. Beautifully made, with great skill and care. Thank you for a fabulous video.
That lathe is really nice, that hole punch looked amazing, EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP, and GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I WISH I KNEW SOME 1 LIKE THIS THAT COULD TEACH ME THE CRAFT HANDS ON.
I would have absolutely no use for a punch like this but I'd STILL buy and own one just because they are so cool looking and how they were made. Excellent Work!
Auch wenn es nicht nötig ist, du hast dieses Werkzeug erschaffen und es funktioniert wie es soll, mein Lieblingsmensch auf RUclips bist eindeutig du. Absoluter könner, deine Werkzeuge, deine Überlegung dein Scharfsinn wenn es um effizientes schmieden geht. 5 daumen hoch
BEAUTIFUL!!! That's what craftsmanship is about! (you can tell when he didn't drag his file!) from a raw piece of scrap, drawn out to a forging, and machined to a crispness. And then babied, drawfiled, deburred, and loved into a precise piece of tooling! Thank you, young man! Pretty work! Thanks for posting!
Wow! That is just great craftsmanship. I only used the drill press. Locked a bolt in the drill press and drilled a hole the size needed. then ground the bolt down to sharp, size to cut the hole in gasket material, that I needed. Either way is tedious, no matter which way chosen. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Amazing work as always. Your video quality is amazing too. I like that you add in the text letting us know what you're doing and why. Side note. I had no idea birch bark was that dang durable.
Watching this video was a truly awesome educational experience, especially as I cut vintage motorcycle gaskets by hand using craft tools and hole punches. Just shows the craftsmamship which goes into making one punch. Well done.
Engineering is a great field who loves it to explore ideas and develop products and tools as per the needs of customers. A job with full dedication accuracy and quality. Great work.
My day has been made perfect just by watching this. I don't know about any other watcher of this video, but all I can think of is: where did my life go wrong that I cannot do this?
Hi ; A toolmaker once made me one hole chisel . Mine was to cut patches for musslel loader riffle Worked great for years until I loaned it to my buddy who said he never seen it before. Thanks your video always great.
Tough lesson. One I had to learn as well. I don't lend out things for reasons like that. Very seldom are they returned in the same condition, or at all. Only to my kids.

OMG! I have been using "arch punches" for decades, but never have I seen how they were__or could be__produced! Just a few days ago, I used a 5/8" punch to cut some .008" shim stock, the first time I've ever used one for anything besides rubber, leather or gasket material. I ALWAYS make it a point to support whatever I'm cutting with the end-grain of either a 4x4 or 6x6 timber, so as to not damage the cutting edge (I once STOPPED a guy in a plant that was punching holes in a gasket directly on a concrete floor; he was complaining about the punch doing a lousy job__I could've beaten him__the cutting edge looked more like a caulking tool after he'd killed it). I've been watching videos on computers for almost twenty (
As always the ideas that you transfer to the metal you work are flawless. They serve the purpose that is envisioned and that is the heart and soul of craftsmanship.
Really nice work. Tool making skills like yours I hope will not be lost to mass manufacturing as so many are these days. A pleasure to watch a true craftsman
As usual, everything is beautiful in your videos. Interesting work, mastery of art, aesthetics of shooting, beautiful landscapes, sound quality... Thank you !
PERFECT! I always wondered how those things were made. Osborne made all the punches I inherited from my pop. I value these punches. Good job bud. Man that was eye opening. 😜
Transforming a piece of metal and trash looking boards to something beautiful is not a easy task, I say both of your hard and soft works were works of art, millions of thanks for keeping the video at its natural state of recording by not using unnecessary music, I really loved your surrounding nature with its quiet and natural sound of calm wind too.
Watching this video bring me back when life was more interested , remind me watching my grandfather doing anything on his a little shop in Cuba ,nice job man👍👍👍

Steel Penny Forge: Yes these are excellent tools, but no one will pay the realistic cost of these, they are for personal use only. And of course pride of ownership.
За ПРЯМЫЕ руки РЕСПЕКТ!!! Работал когда то токарем и НЕНАВИЖУ резцы-головки. Ещё дедушки на заводе приучили к НОРМАЛЬНЫМ резцам, которые сам научился затачивать и работать ими лучше. Очень понравился станок, простенький и удобный, без всех этих компьютеров и прочего!!!
Что сделано своими руками и с душой, не имеет цены...С красивым и надёжным инструментом, работать одно удовольствие...Особенно если этот инструмент ты сделал сам... Поверьте мне, я знаю...
V dnešnej dobe sa už ručná robota necení. Všetko robia stroje, za lacnejšie peniaze. rok dva to vydrží a hodí sa to do šrotu. Kúpi sa nové. Ani opravovať sa neoplatí, jednak sa to ani nedá a vyjde to drahšie ako nové. Už sa na svoje ruky nespoliehaj. ži a míňaj.
I did. The title says "Blacksmithing - Making a hollow hole punch" but in the end, it's machined. Could have made it out of billet and saved a whole lot of time. I wanted to know....how did a blacksmith back in the day make tools for a leather worker?
You do have a point; we don't get to see how an old timer would forge it start-to-finish, but I never would have given it a thumbs down just on that basis.

Hi There! Tommy Copland Ayr Scotland, you are a craftsman Torbjorn' At 70 yrs old now and I worked with my Grandad at the Grange smithy near dundee. All gone now?. The house on the ground is still called the Grange. And I am still making bits for boats now. keep the videos coming....

Впечатляет наличие станков и оборудования это - да, а сами вырубки можно сделать из любой трубы.
Да нам русским это как два пальца.......и без станков!!!!
Это точно. Всю жизнь трубками обходился.
из трубок шляпа, затупиться быстро
Я думал пыжарез на 12 кл
У нас это называется выколотка. Есть у каждого в семье,вырубали из резины прокладки на водопроводные краны. Это как изобрести колесо. Не ново.
Those are some beautiful tools you have made! Fantastic work!
... And a little touch of poetry to finish the video . You're an Artist !
Craftmanship at its best! Outstanding!
Всё отлично. Рубить нужно на пеньке в срез волокна, тогда работа чище, быстрее и инструмент дольше остаётся острым. Успехов.👍
