Blacksmithing - Square corner bolster experiment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2019
- When you have access to a power hammer the way you think about a project often change compared to manual work at the anvil. For manual work it's in practice always best to start with thinner material and where you need mass you would either upset or forge weld material to that bar. With a power hammer you tend to do the opposite, start with larger material and draw sections down leaving mass where you want. In this video I show an alternative way to forge a square corner and I make an experimental tool to make the bend more easily.

It happens to me a lot when watching your videos, that I find myself having no clue what you are making until at the very end, everything falls in place and is suddenly genius. Love it.
That's great! :) Thanks
Same - had absolutely no idea what he was making, but it was fascinating watching the process and then discovering what it was all about. Love your work.
Tameem Moaleji, I agree, I many times didn't understand title, but it's just because these tools' names aren't used often in normal communication.
Completely agree with you.
^ This.
I have to admit - I always viewed blacksmithing as a rougher way to work steel, until I started seeing your work. Now, I'm amazed! All your pieces, more than functional, are works of art!
When I watch your videos, it's almost like watching a sculptor with clay. An artist with paint and a piece of canvas. You truly are a very talented and creative person. The attention to detail and the persistence to creating something perfect or as perfect as it can be. Sure wish a lot of other people put that into their work.
Thanks Malcolm!
I don't know how, but whatever you do it ends up being a small work of art.
No matter if it's just a small die, a shoehorn, snow house or this holdfast.
Incredibly talented!
Eso mismo pensé yo
Blacksmithing is still like wonderful trick of magic to me, perhaps even better because the magic is still there after I have seen how is done. Thanks for this wonderful videos, is always a pleasure to watch.
I never get tired watching you do your art work. That’s what it is to me. Great video again
I lived up in Northern NJ about 45 years ago. And there was an old blacksmith shop, My company had him make some things from time to time. I always went by to pick the stuff up and loved to watch him work.
When I see your name in my sub box, I click on it without even looking at the title, because I know its going to be worthwhile content. Thanks Torbjörn, amazing as always.
Yeah..! Only a few videos rate the Thumbs up, while un-seen, but this is always one...
What I enjoy about your videos is that you give very minimal explanation and let the object develope like a visual narrative. In the start I had no idea what it was you were trying to make but was surprised to finally see it. Well done.
My compliments to you! Any piece you do ist at least beautiful and has a practical use. Also - every video is a teaching unit in blacksmithing and beyond inspiring. In comparsion to other black smith on youtube, e.g. Alec Steele, my feeling is you are a _real_ master. No blabla, just fine, perfect Artwork combined with modesty. Again - my honest compliments.
Beautiful! Simply beautiful! The work you do to make something and creativity you display by building something to make something. Thank you for sharing!
Very inventive mind, that's for sure ! Great tool, it's so much joy when you find out a way to save 1h of hammering by creating a new specialised tool
Thanks, yes it seems to work ok!
As always, a good solid video. Reminds me of when I started watching Discovery channel as kid. U just watch and and get a good feeling....
😂, same here!
I actually went "noooo" when you took the rounding dies to that octogon looking part, it looked so cool
Funny to see you dancing in time to the rhythm of the power hacksaw. I do things like that myself all the time!
Ha ha!
I too liked it !
That is how ABBA got most of their songs !
I groove to the beat of his big hammer too, it's always a good video when he uses it.

stop ! Its hammer time ! - unfortunately someone else has used that saying 😭
Next level blacksmithing right there! Amazing work man, truly inspiring!
Cool, thank you!
Super way of getting a sharp outside corner. I was instructed by a farrier in the Welsh mountains sixty years ago and he always jumped the end of the bar. Having the air hammer to free both hands saves all that gripping the tongs between the knees when using the fuller.
Outstanding!! I love your videos! Best techniques on RUclips!
Chacune de vos vidéos me surprend et me donne du plaisir à la regarder. J'ignorais qu'un forgeron pouvait être aussi précis en matière de réalisation de pièces métallique. Bravo !
I've had lots of trouble over the years making square corners on all sorts of forgings using the vise method. It looks to me like you've come up with a solution!! Thanks!! Love your channel.
A work of art from a highly skilled craftsman. Wish I have just a bit of your skill. Thanks to your video
yes! - reciprocating the most compelling truth of my effort to the genius of yours. nothing else remains. the
beauty of this video is it's immortality for expression.
My first time doing a square corner (read: only time), I hit the side before I hit the top and had some lovely white-yellow scale go down my glove. You have no idea how much I want one of these.
Absolutely genius. I might have to fabricate one to try for myself! Thank you for sharing as always!
Hah! Found you brother :)
It's always a pleasure to watch and just brilliance in forging, right!?
Nice work as usual,and it's great that you put the description of the materials that are used,cheers from Portugal.
That tool you created is absolutely genius!! Thank you for sharing!
Very very cool. I'm continually impressed by your skills and craftmanship!
Even your mistakes as you call it, is still done to the highest quality!!!
Plz ,don’t stop making videos as I am a new blacksmith that have watched your videos many times!!!
I have no words to say, very clever and beautiful work. Respect metal master🤐🤐
Thank you. I think this is one of your best vids. You not only share knowledge, but this is a joy to watch.
I´m always amazed by the professional quality of your work! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
Making your woodworking shop tools in your blacksmithing shop. You are living my dream sir. Good work as always!
Thanks KK!
Wow!! That would work really well in a fly press as well. Really nice hold fast. I wished you made more videos. Look forward to them each time.
Love your work , brings tears to these old eyes , you are one very talented person , and I hope your kids show an interest in learning this craft .
Now for a bete noir of mine , every time you back drag your files it sets me on edge , its the way i was taught i guess , besides they are your files ( lol ) a little trick i used to do was use pvc pipe as a shield in a 5 gal bucket , so they did not rub against each other , files are not cheap . A 5 gal bucket full of files is a chunk of change .
Man keep making these videos both for the young and curious ,and us old folks who love the craft
Fantastic. Such a pleasure to watch you create.
Wow! That is amazing! Beautifully thought out and very well executed. Top marks Torbjorn! You should be running the country! Ha!!
Ha ha, thanks!
Loved it. Saw a demo at a conference this weekend doing this. I had to see another way. Great job.
It always amazes me how precisely you use that pneumatic hammer. Every champfer is just perfect right there. I remember having a hard time even trying that. Nice video :)
Wow, that was fun. Brilliant insight into how to produce a tool to build other tools. Most Educational.
Keep on, Keepin' ON ... please ! ! !
Me encantan sus vídeos, son Geniales.
Veo sus vídeos y cuando el trabajo que está realizando parece estar acabado, no, usted sigue hasta buscar la perfección Es todo un ejemplo a seguir.
Saludos desde España.
Thanks!
Truly remarkable engineering ! Great fun to watch!
Always a pleasure to see your videos Torbjorn. And a lot of ingenuity!
That is amazing, after it is all done I think to myself, "Why didn't I think of that first?" The answer? Because I am not a metal worker or blacksmith, but I sure enjoy seeing a skilled craftsman at work.
What a brilliant Idea, mate you're so clever, you never cease to amaze me. With what you come up with.
I am amazed every time you make a tool. I usually am not sure if it is a tool but I love to see your plans come together and you have an amazing tool.
Excelente trabajo,te felicito, gracias por dedicar tu tiempo a enseñar, saludos desde Venezuela.
Love the foot tapping part of the video and per the usual great build and craftsmanship :-) well done!
:) :) Thanks!
Awesome jig for square corners Sir
Wow. Torbjorn. Yes that is much faster and easer that doing it by hand. What a great little tool. great job.
BEAUTIFUL! You are the Michelangelo of forging and the Da Vinci of inventions! Thanks for sharing. Jerry
Однозначно ЛАЙК. Классная работа. Полагаю это прижим, или,, третья рука"так называемая. Есть два года практики молотобойцем, но такое вижу впревые. Класс!
Man, I LOVE watching you work! You make it look so effortless. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Un trabajo muy bueno y delicado !!
Muchas gracias.
Not just an experiment but also works! Nice job.
Awesome Job Mr. T! You are The King of jig making.
As always, your work is beautiful. The cleverness of this experiment was just a delight.
Lucchetto epoca
Seems so easy when someone knows what they are doing
Thanks for the lesson Sir.
Awesome Blacksmith.
You are a Legend, as far as I'm concerned.👍
True craftsman. Love watching your videos from Oklahoma USA
Well that thing is just intensely satisfy to watch used. Great video as usual!
Great idea and well executed.
Impressive, Ingenious, well thought out. I'm a fan.
Wonderful work !!! You're a Genius !!!! A great pleasure to observe your work....
Great proportions and a adjustable lighting mechanism
This holdfast is so amazingly beautiful, thank you for this video! I have to try this by myself, but with way more simple tools:D
Thumbs way up. I was in suspense. I didn’t know how that device was going to work. Also, that’s the best holdfast I’ve ever seen. Good work!
I have the up most respect for you as a person and as a craftsman even though you don't talk much I still get your thought process as well as your what method of execution your by far one of my favorite smiths I've ever seen your methodical meticulous and a true perfectionist and I truly respect that
Great, thanks!!
Remarkable idea, wonderful execution, magnificent result!! In Your hands a metal is more soft than plasticine. Successes!
Amazing work and great execution of your idea...
Impresionante trabajo de forja y de preparación de útiles para llegar a tal fin,sencillamente magnífico,un saludo y un like desde Naron(Galicia)
Mesmerizing watching you work.
Eye candy! Gorgeous, artistic, classic, usefull, words fail me...
Very nice. I use a similar but more simple jig in the fly press for bending holdfasts. Its amazing how much easier it is to bend those corners with the help of a jig.
Great John! Yes you need to bend where the largest mass is and that's no fun by hand. I would love a fly press.... some day...
Excellent work! I dont have any blacksmithing equipment. But I want to build this for bending square bar at the hydraulic press. Very cool!
Amazing hold down clamp by the best I have ever seen, a lot of work to make but I think it was worth it good job. Be well and be safe.........
Sempre com aulas ótimas de ferreiro. Obrigado
That is a brilliant tool, and the holdfast is beautiful.
Это невероятно, Вы великий мастер, с уважением... 👍👍👍
Что это за изделие получилось ?
I’m a woodworker that got into blacksmithing for this very reason! I enjoy your videos.
Great! Thank you!
Very interesting to see how the puzzle parts become the big picture during the video. Thumbs up!
That works really well.
Well done!
Beautiful work. You’re truly a master!
If I hadn’t seen you make it I would’ve guessed that you cut it with a torch at 90°, well done.
A mostly equipped guy...😊
One of the most satisfying videos seen these times 👉
That is slick! Well played. Your videos are, in my opinion, some of the best on blacksmithing on youtube. cheers.
Thank you Eric!!
It is so enjoyable and satisfying to watch you make things, your video are 'must watch' content!
Nice bit of workmanship, very nice.
Great job!!! la inteligencia aplicada al trabajo, el presidente de argentina tendría que mirar tus videos. Thank you.
Don't really know what it is but it sure was fun watching you make It. And that had to be the biggest anvil I've ever seen.so cool!
Ingenious! I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Clever man! my blacksmith brother! love your work!
You are a true professional in your field, but do not cease to develop. Nice to watch!
Thanks!
That Sir. Was Genius!! My 🎩 is off to you sir!
Very impressive and exciting to watch as is all of your content.
Great video to watch, from a guy who is obviously a skilled blacksmith and who understands how to demonstrate his technique.
The camera work is also an inspiration to anyone who aspires to making a RUclips video as well as learning about Forge work.
Thank you.
Thanks Mike!!
That , my friend, is just too damn cool. Stellar as usual.
Great vision for a classic, practical tool. Well done sir.
You have an amazing shop setup
Really awesome tool. Thanks for the demonstration.
Great video. That tool will last several lifetimes. Thanks again for sharing your talents.
