Making a discus!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2024
- I decided to make a custom discus for my son, who is competing in track and field, where discus throwing is one event. A fun project but a bit more work than I first anticipated as you have to meet some specific parameters, like size and weight. I'm very happy with the result and it feels great to throw!

You truly are an extremely cool human being.
I agree
The coolest person and the coolest dad😀👌👌👌
You can't say it any better than that... I have nothing to add.
Have you seen his figure skating, yet?!
Very different from the usual builds on RUclips! I think it's the first time I have ever considered how a discus is constructed. Thanks 🤓
Thanks!
Kids are getting big, enjoy your time with them :)
Yeah the boy is really growing tall :)
I know, it's crazy!
A proud man and a proud father!
They grow up so fast!
That is really neat. Looking at your children made me realize how long I had been watching your videos.
You are an awesome dad! There are great dads that support their child in track and field, but not many of them can say they can build equipment for their kids to use!
This is such a cool build! I also love that you take the time to show each sticker as you put them up.
You should do a javelin next! 😂
It is so hypnotic watching a master craftsman like yourself create something so elegantly simple.
True artistry, displayed in full.
A really present for your golden team!!🎉
Fantastic my friend!! Your kids have already won the gold medal 🏅
Watching your work is mesmerizing. This was a great project that your son will cherish.
No kidding: Just one hour before I had to check if I didnt miss any of your videos. Good to see you're still with us! Your videos are always a wholesome experience 👌😎
Every skill combined, hats off to you Sir, you're a true Meastro!
TIL
- I had no idea how a discus was made.
- Didn't know that I needed to to know this.
- Watched the entire video to the very end, and was thoroughly fascinated.
- Loved the fact that we got to see everyone throw it. Completely satisfying!
Thank you for posting this!
So nice of you, thanks!!
So cool, love the project. Now, when I think about it - there's plenty of hammer forging videos, but no videos of forging trowing hammer. Either olimpic style or classic highland games style would be awesome.
Thanks!! :) Not sure they can be forged from solid stock? Or maybe they are....7.26kg is less than a dm3 of steel...hmmm
When knowledge, desire and skill are combined, the result is magnificent! This man does everything perfectly! And watering the flowers and making a souvenir! Bravo!,👏👏👏
Awesome project, I really liked how this was made, too cool! Wax on, wax off!
1:02 can we all just take a minute to appreciate Torbjorns cows.
His kid is very lucky to inherit those genetics.
Bwahahah....
Un gran trabajo como siempre, tus hijos no lo olvidarán, seguro.
Love watching your craftsmanship!
My grandpa was skilled wood carpentor now I'm metal.
Different creatives and approaches are in my DNA . Everytime I doing shortcuts for long time required work or small technical work in my work room.
Great work 👍👍👍 your
Proud Dad,
I'm happy to see you.
Thank you.
This is my 3 favorite things all in one! Discus, machining, and great RUclips videos. I'm very happy right now
Great to hear! Thanks
Beautiful work. I haven't held a discus since school and have only seen them on the Olympic games, when I used to watch.
Really are the best man to make discus at home congratulation to you and show us how to make javelin if it is possible good Luck my friend
perfect idea. Thank you brother for giving me an experience
As always nice job. The ability to make the outside ring is great as cutting that out of the Sold would be a huge job. The finished item looks great
Most excellent!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
I love your cool videos and you are a wonderful dad to the kids.
Glad you got the stickers. Love all your videos and content!!
Your son has a very good throw! :)
Wow! What a masterpiece! Thanks for sharing!
A beautiful thing. Bravo!
I think that you are masterful craftsman, amazing.
I’m sure they will proud to use it!! Awesome. Love your videos.
*WOW that is so AWESOME. Your son throws really well... I guess in a few years time we will be seeing him in a future Olympics. He will remember this moment forever, that his dad made him a discus just for him. So what sport is your daughter interested in.... something you could make for her... oh I know.... hammer throwing.*
Thank you! We will see, she is also into track and field, and football.... She likes the javelin 😳😳
@@torbjornahman *Goodness you and your wife are producing some future sportspeople... Well making a Javelin, might test you, due to it's length.... but I would love to see you try to make one. But one that she would know was hers & it would stand out from all the others. But maybe also make her a hollow football (to keep it light) on a wooden stand to be put up on her shelf in her bedroom too. These are the things that the kids will remember that their dad made for them... to be passed on down to the future generations... as they will stand the test of time forever.*
@@torbjornahman Wow, so that comment elsewhere about you making a javelin next... maybe you will!
Do they know how cool their dad is?? :D (Or rather, do they see you as being even half as cool as all of us do?) Because... wow.
A javelin is tricky I think, since they need to be hollow, more or less full length....
@@torbjornahman “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. :) … and you continually seem to find solutions to things, so I’m sure you’ll figure something out. :)
Looking forward to the 'building a new window' video next time! Love your work.
Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
Incredible craftsmanship, and a wonderful father.
my heart melted. what a lovely family you have, and what a lovely memory to cherish
Thank you so much!
You’re a great dad, love the builds. Can’t believe how much your kids have grown!
Thanks. Me neither...
Too cool! Who wouldn't love that athlete?
amazing craftsmanship! i could tell how excited you were about finishing the project by looking at your hands on the finish. all for that feeling. all for your kids. cherish that joy in your life, my friend.
What a beautiful object! My sister threw discus and shotput in high school. I didn't know how they were made. Very cool.
Exceptional, Torbjorn, exceptional. Such an amazing dad you are. Could have just bought them but you, in your typical fashion, made them. Something to be cherished for life.
🥰
This is a labor born of the spirit of Love, and appears it might sail, too. Properly. Thank you for including us in this. Clasped hands, David.
Thanks David!
As a woodturner, I smiled when you chucked up your Sorby gouge. Good show!
Ha ha, a bit off the books... but that plywood really needed a clean cut. Scraping with anything would generate a mess.
Your workmanship is incredible and I love all the little side quests you go in the videos too, it's a really nice touch
Very nice piece, those children are growing so fast...
when I was in track in high school I could never figure out how to throw those things very well did an amazing job making that
Thank You Mr. T for place my Sticker on you Cabinet!
Any time!
as always BEAUTIFUL ART WORK AS ALWAYS👍🏼👍🏼
that is so cool!! Love watching you work, awesome craftmanship and what gift for the kids.
I keep snapping my fingers but no fire. What's the secret? Great video as always. Perfection mixed with modesty. You're a great role model
Medalhas olímpicas garantidas!!!!
Beautiful work
Kids growing fast, nice build 👍🏼
So cool!! Your son has a great father!
Thank you very much for making videos. Truly inspiring. All of it. The craftsmanship, the workshop, the projects, the gardens, the simplicity and yet the high quality.
Makes me dream that I could and would make stuff like that for my children.
Migwetch
u r a fine blacksmith and a good father, wish u food luck
Just beautiful! The impeccably done discus, and children are great! The awesome film!
I have never seen a discus. To actually not only see one but, watch how one is made was rather fulfilling I knew you were going to demonstrate it being used. I figured some big, burly discus thrower. To see you and your kids instead....heartwarming!
I always chuckle when observing your magic! Overall another great video!
Thanks Michael!
The editing for your finger snap fire starter is getting really good! I couldn't see where the roto was hiding.
Forging, welding, machining, woodworking, gardening, and family time with the kids. Oh, and glass repair.🤣
That damn spider...gets me every time. Awesome build once again.
Ha ha...
A great pleasure, as always! I think this is the first time I have ever seen someone resaw plywood. Very nice result, and fun to watch the testing. Discus throwing looks even harder when you see it close-up.
Thank you! Cheers!
Future Olympians! Truly amazing!
Well done! 💪
I think it's no exaggeration to say I could watch you make toast. Cheers to the whole family and thanks for sharing.
Your clips and lessons are wonderful,Thank you
Pretty damn respectable throw for a young man of his size. Nice discus too.
Thanks!!
beautiful work
Great project!
Your content is always interesting, and entertaining, you never disappoint. Have a good one!
SELL THESE!!!! That’d are actually far to beautiful to watch one get destroyed by my kids. Our 10$ frisbee is just fine. Incredibly precise and design once again! It truly is a thing of beauty.!!!
You are one great dad! Top quality work as ever! :)
This is my first ever RUclips comment. Ever. Torbjörn, you are a craftsman of enviable skill. It has been a pleasure to live vicariously through your videos. Your farm, your greenhouse, your family, and especially your blacksmithing is a pleasure to watch. Truly, I hope to meet you some day and shake your calloused hand, sir.
Oh, thank you so much!
When I saw the title I knew this must be for one of your children. Kudos papa.
One of the reasons that I love your videos is that sticker wall. I’m so excited every time I see my stickers up there!
You are a Great Father!
Beautiful video and beautiful work, I send you a hug from the south of Argentina.
This is amazing! Great video!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Как уже выросли дети! Здоровья Вашей семье! Дети гордятся таким отцом!
Pretty cool! Hope the kids do well in their competitions.
Another fantastic piece of precision craftsmanship, and an amazing gift for your son! Absolutely loved this build!
Thank you!
❤ Fantastiskt härligt att se er alla med diskusen på banan. Och vilken prestation att göra en sådan själv! Tack för en verkligen inspirerande video. 👍👌
Tack Magnus!!
Your videos have kept ne going since my partner left me, i appreciate it thank you
You always make such beautiful video, and great projects. Thanks for sharing.
Your work is always so precise and beautiful. Thanks for including shots of your place, it looks lovely!
Your kids are growing fast
Make you wanna appreciate discus now - not just a sport but you made them into an art.....
Wow that's awesome. Awesome job. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks 👍
Amazing work! 🤝🫶
Again! Thunder Bear never disappoints! 😊
And suddenly you've got powerful young adults. It's been a delight to see the little ones go from the angle iron pussycat stage to competition discus throwing, and for them to have a dad that provides everything between. Good 'ealth, mate. John Warner, Australia
Precision woodturning is not one of my favourite things to do so well done on that weight readout, getting all the parameters to come together at once is not easy.
One of my favourite parts of woodturning is putting the finish on by hand, its just so satisfying.
You're a brave man trusting something else with your wood turning chisels, especially the grind on that lovely fingernail gouge. Skew chisels can have a mind of their own but are apparently indestructible Gouges on the other hand are seemingly magnetically drawn to the chuck, especially when turning plywoods. The grind on a turning gouge can be very complex.
I always wondered how discus throwers trained in the winter...its must be by blacksmithing ...I can see that discus getting a lot of air time over the summer.
thanks for sharing a great build and the events afterwards..
Thanks! Yes, it was a bit of a gamble, but it worked out nicely!
That is true craftsmanship.
Beautiful work, a joy to watch and your own style. Thank you for sharing, and enjoy your summer.
Thank you, I will
Un gran trabajo amigo....gracias
Looks like your son will be a new champion 👍 💪
Your son’s technique is very good. 👍🏼
