Awesome!
From a cube of steel and a chunk of ash, to a masterpiece!
Thank you!!
Torbjörn Åhman
You're my favourite blacksmith on youtube.
Cool!
Subscribed. What is the price of a piece such as this? What to do if you put a dent in it??!
Not sure what to charge for one. Not selling any just yet. Dent? You re-grind it!
Most TH-cam vids are a waste of time, but every now and again I see something that makes me think, “holy crap, that was AWESOME!” Your vid was incredible...you are both an artist and a craftsman...seeing your work wants me to become a blacksmith. Or a Viking. Or maybe both. Thanks for sharing your talent...best thing I’ve seen in awhile.
Wow, thanks!
with a name like ferrier, blacksmithing, or hoof care for horses make sense. (I'm a Kathleen Ferrier completist).
I love that you don't even hear distant traffic sounds

Love that you’re using a traditional Viking style axe eye shape 👏🏻
You are a true artist of the forge, Torbjorn, thanks for sharing your work to produce a bearded axe better than any our Viking ancestors owned. Your shop and assortment of tools is amazing. I hope you are making a good living over there in the motherland.
:) Thank you!

He is getting more Viking with each video.
Ha ha. Watch out! :)
Now I'm hyped for "How to build a boat" video!
Dont dissapoint me or i'll whine in comments :)
Shields!
yessssss need a shield
The Legendary Viking Warror, Torbjorn the Berserkr! I never get tired of watching this video.
Love it when you can hear the sound of the hammering machine starting up - it sounds like anticipating music and you just know some cool hammering action is coming
As someone who has no use for an axe, I want an axe.
Totally natural reaction! Nothing to worry about. :)
If and when I manage to try my hand at blacksmithing this'll be at the top of my list!
Flaccid Platypus every man has a use for an axe, u just havent found yours yet....
and besides. It's a freaking axe. axes get shit done. thats what they do.
There's always use for an axe.
killing, woodcutting, just kidding about the killing :PP
Beautiful craftsmanship. I think this is my favorite of all your videos so far!
Sweet. Thank you!!!
You're welcome! :)
Agreed gorgeous axe, this video made me smile.
me too. very inspiring. :)

I bought a lot of Axes in my life and one day i was really thinking what if i made one by my self, because nothing like it, its like rising child, and i said ill make on by my self, and i bought a mild steel and i was looking at it like i have no idea how to start, then i searched in YT for how to forge bearded axe my favorite, and i found your video, hmm yeah i don't really have those equipment that you have, but i made it finally and im really happy with it, not gonna lie it took me so long to make it but it worth..... i don't know how to thank you, I really appreciate you and thank you so much❤, that was my childish dream... sorry about long comment.
Wow, that's great! Thank you, it means a lot.
this programme is worthy of another viewing. the blacksmith is the king of all craftsmen
Such a pleasure in this web-tech world ...
Thanks for continuing making those marvels and sharing with the rest of us
Thank you very much!!

Only a year after I first watched this, and on my third or fourth watch, have I noticed the soft, pleasant music in the latter half of the video. My enjoyment has gone up immensely, because the music helps add a little atmosphere, without being obnoxious or overpowering. I love it.
Thanks!
I like how when he's making the handle, he uses the long, traditional process of using the axe to carve it down, and then just pulls out his industrial grinder to finish it up.

YOU ARE THE BEST BLACKSMITH I HAVE SEEN. YOU MAKE ME REALISE HOW FAR I AM FROM BEING A GOOD BLACKSMITH. AWESOME WORK AS ALWAYS
This makes the 5th time I've watched this axe build. Absolutely a beautiful piece.
Cool! Thanks
check out my ax
Not that you will see this. My god there are so many comments! I respect your craftsmanship. You do amazing work and I think you are an top notch artist. Please keep pumping videos out, I enjoy them immensely. Thank you for sharing some of your life with the rest of us.
I read them all :) Thank you so much!
I love that this guy shows you the whole process. Im not tryna discredit anybody else but I like these complete forges better. I'm not a huge fan of the blacksmiths who forge a bar and then cut and grind it into shape
I’ve watched this a few times and I never tire of ur skills and final product which is a work of beauty!
Thank you Mike!
Wow....awesome....one of the last men on this planet with the know how to forge and create a hatchet......Top👍👍👍👍
Alec steele.....
That hardened spring insert was a very cool idea.
It was a common practice back then. I believe Vikings were the first to do so.
That is some of the best blacksmithing work I have seen in a very long time, Actually, since my father work, and he worked for the LIRR and was the chief inspector on all fright and passenger cars when they had a problem, He worked the yard in Long Island City, and could make any part needed when they could not get one delivered,
This Gye is really Good! I Love the spring steel you put in as that head as it is the hardness of that blade and will not chip or bend, perfect, I am amazed. God Bless and Thank You!
Thanks Joseph!
@@torbjornahman it is true, your good
I understand now why you dont put many knife making video's on here. Everyone makes knives. I really enjoy watching you build these beautiful and useable tools. Good job Sir.
Not so much an axe as a very beautifully-functional work of art. In this age of price first, quality second this was such a treat to watch. And not a trace of ego anywhere. Top Class, Sir. Thank You.
Great editing with the nature scenes and then the gentle music. Exactly what was needed to keep me interested! Fantastic handiwork too!
I like it to watch your videos, especially the silence! No senseless talking , just "the show". I wish, i would have the space to do the same at home. Sadly i have NOT... Keep it up!
Beautiful axe, anyone would be proud to own one, but he is blessed that can also build one.
Just beautiful! The rawness, the precision, the spring steel edge, the carved Ash handle. Since I can’t make it myself I’d love to buy or trade!
Bloody genius!
I watched it to the end. I was a Blacksmiths apprentice in Scotland and i used to do things like this. But the shaft was something i never managed. Well done you.Takes me back a bit!
( but why the thumbs down? Jealous Blacksmiths?)
I've watched this over & over just can't get enough. What a workmanship, what an axe. Just beautiful....
Great!
Такие великолепные топоры, должны висеть на стенке, в музее! Грех такими инструментами работать! Сколько труда положено, какое мастерство! Спасибо Вам!
Excellent. Love the forge welded bit on that beaut. Went old school on the handle. Literally hewing it out of that log section with another axe. Very cool.
Thanks Michael!
Torbjörn Åhman رائع

Love that axe. I enjoy the lil nature strolls during normalizing.
To begin with i was wondering why you were using mild steel, so glad I kept watching to see you add the hardenable steel. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship
I just watched they Brit blacksmith make a French boarding axe using newer equipment, a propane forge and I gotta say, I'd much rather buy an ace from this guy. Hand made is hand made. And this..... Is freaking badass
:)
Best video I've watched on TH-cam. It's very relaxing and satisfying, the music and forest shots made me feel calm. Great vid.
A pleasure to watch you work. Thanks!
It might be because this is the first video about axes that I have watched, but I still think thatches install the best. Nils Ögren certainly does a great job, but he still doesn't quite get there... Speaking of which, your video together was also a hit! Please, do some more!
I love the peculiar combination of old and modern tools in your workshop. Excellent job!
My favorite build so far. I love that beard.
Nice axe! And beautiful video work as always. I don't know if it's just the quiet finn in me.. When I rather listen to hammers and birds singing in the background, instead of dubbed how-to-videos on youtube. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching them! :D
Hälsningar från Österbotten
Tack Kenneth!
I wouldn't say it's just the quiet Finn in you,. I'm an Aussie and often someone yammering on drives me bonkers. Sure, the insights and info is useful but more often than not I'm like "mate, shut the hell up and let me hear the work" lol.
This is precisely why my 3 favourite channels are this one, Almazan Kitchen (Serbians cooking outdoors) and Dorian Bracht (Japanese joinery).
G'day from Australia.
Thank you Vaul!! :)
Torbjörn Åhman I wish I could be student of a steel master like you! Excellent job! 🙋👍👍

Now that’s what I call craftsmanship and thank you once again for not playing any stupid music in your video
I really need to get a axe like this for my camping trips.
Holy hell it takes this much effort even with modern tools and understandings. I can only imagine what it must've been like in the olden days

There are only a couple major differences... A, the steel from which it started (a big factor if one were starting from ore, but that wasn't usually the case). B, the blower fan on the forge (not a huge deal with a good bellows set up), C, the power hammer (Extremely convenient, though not necessary, and D, a belt sander (again, convenient, though not necessary). All things considered, you just witnessed how it was done with a few minimal shortcuts due to modern convenience. Effort, yes--then, and now. Skill? Definitely. Talent and dedication? Without question.
To the smith... Well done, Brother. Well done.
i was thinking the exact same thing... its amazing how refined his work is with hand tools.
There were waterbased power hammers in late medieval europe.

That is such a beautiful axe. I want one so bad. Just like that. I love the forge marks and hammering marks it is just so beautiful.
Thanks!
Honestly this type of axe, arc that cuts is the best for me. It just rolls on the wood, it does not stick into it. Really enjoyable if you are "weak".
I was not expecting an actual forge, I thought it was another restoration video. Good job
Thanks!
9:54 the addition of steel
23:17 looks very perfect
thank's
Remind me of my situation, 4-5 hours of handforging, 2 hours of hand grinding and smoothing, hardening and temper, 10 hours for the knife handle :D
and someone offers you 20 dollars for it...............................one mans tool is another mans trash................ when the hammer drops the craftsman holds the stage
forging: 5 hours
grinding: 2:30 hours
making the handle: too long
Sorry, nothing like it. The problem with you club guys and your precious creations.
Tom Jones ???????
@@sergeantrainstorm1269 Where?
Amazing. That is a beautifully crafted tool and some serious skill and craftsmanship.
GPKNIVES yes but I want all hand made. Too much machinery for me.
I was thinking the same thing. Always great watching these videos and projects get done, so incredibly refined.
I've said forge welding several times and over.Did a fair job of rivets for my last forge weld that failed.But I'll try again Sir.
It's a beautiful axe you built,A super beautiful tool.
Thanks for the teaching Sir
All Scandinavians appreciated a good axe. It's in our blood.
And so it came to pass that at 17:00 an erie silence fell over the entire coop. Then, as was the custom, the fledglings began to cluck their goodbyes to their elders perch high on death roost. Be brave and remember long ago when the skies offered freedom. Buck, buck, beguck.

@@wyatts.5326 really????? He just sharpened the axe and is going to slaughter so.e chickens for dinner.
Its called humor. Lol lol lol
Im so glad u stopped using background music in ur newest vids. Just so nice to hear all the shop sounds
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Thunder Bear is a badass. Skål fetter!
You are great at making stuff and good at crafting
Thank you!
Hard work pays off.
its hard VORK pays off, or AARDVARK pays off
Heyour meking a cheekin oot of a feader.
Its really nice to see all the positivity on this channel.
Truly a work of art. A pleasure to watch an artist and craftsman. I would love to have such an axe.
I can watch this over and over again....such a beautiful axe, well done..you are a master of your craft.
Every honor of the guy, you're really a magician ! ! !
I love this, I will build several hand axes and Tommy Hawks this winter,Got to add a ribbon burner and do like the way you started with mild steel and added the spring steel
Thanks you again Sir
Bruh its tomahawk. Tf is a tommy hawk?
Tommy hawks ,is a name invented by Buffalo Bill Cody ,we natives never called them that the white European people are great at making little cute names for such items
@@draven3838 hue pllgfj1jx8ej, jack y3duuxu4uduxu3h8xueu, ❤️
Im planning on making an axe too, what steel would work for a project like this? of what steel does he use?
When I saw the hammer machine I knew this guy serious. Blacksmithing is always better, if you got the skill. The time he put in that thing is amazing
its Amazing how a cube off steel can become something so beautiful
Your beautiful ;)

We own it to ourselves to never let skills such as these be forgotten ......
Excellent proportions with a handle that doesn't look goofy because it's way to large! Awesome job and a pleasure to watch being made!
Am I the only one that just keeps watching this video over and over again... I think this is my 6th or 7th time watching this video
I wouldn't blame ya.
its calming
I love how you work !
Greetings from Romania.
Beautiful axe, thanks for showing the process from start to finish
Beautifully done, I've always wanted a bearded axe but have yet to run across one. Most of my axes are antique repurposed axes that I have had to rehang. After I watched your video I might have to make it one of the things I forge. Again thank you for your videos. Someday I would love to travel and meet some of my favorite youtubers. Your at the top of my list.
Thanks Blake!
Torbjörn! Ready to work!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
A little dash of vision, a little dash of talent and and skill, a few drops of patience, a dollop of metal, and a sliver of wood. Presto! An axe. Well done!
Shane Roper Where's the peanut butter
A recipe for skill, effort and reward, hey. A great remark mate
You have the skills of a true craftsman!!!
This is the perfect video before I go to bed I will not take my medication tonight.
finally a bearded axe that's not just a cut down American axe
What a beautiful piece of work !
👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. Lots of detail on all the steps of the forging and finish.
Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Making swords and axes back in the day 24/7, might have given the blacksmith some big muscles after forging them day in and day out💪
One simple word: fantastic! What a skill, man.
Dear Mr. Torbjörn, hälsningar från Rumänien! I have recently discovered your channel, and like many here, I love your videos. Especially this one, which for me is the best axe forging video out there. It's true art what you do. Your work deserves a special presentation and you are doing an amazing job with this too, presenting it in such natural way but which is full of greatness.
Really great stuff... Respect and appreciation!
Wow, thank you so much Radu!
Thank you! My grandfather was also a blacksmith, doing all kinds of forms from iron, and of course, seeing you reminds me of him. I also love the Swedish language, even though I can't speak it, I've always loved it. But what really makes your videos special for me is the amazing work which is put together by your hands and heart and the wonderful way in which you present it. Thank you, for something which will never get old and boring :)
Love this guy's tools!!
And good close ups of what's going on too!....that anvil is a BEAST...HOLY COW!!!
my german anvil has 320kg :D
@@JonnyNestea Fat praising... people now days and their plus sized anvils.
Outstanding workmanship!! Perfect blade angle and perfect shape of the handle to let the blade slice while chopping! Thank you for sharing your techniques, they were fascinating!
If I were a blacksmith:
*"I just like hitting objects, but I have no idea what I'm doing."*
That’s a joke, but that’s actually how I started smithing, hitting an hoping it works. And it did work, I think I knew subconsciously how to make this work. I taught myself all I know, along with TH-cam videos.
@@BOHANTHEFLESHGOD wow, that’s really cool!
@@BOHANTHEFLESHGOD honestly same, like today I just started hammering on a railroad spike and I possibly just made a cool knife
This is a work of art as well as being an essential tool.
A thing of beauty, forged with passion.
This whole video is therapeutic for the soul
I know I’m 5 year late but awesome work mate 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏and it so satisfying watching you Hammering down to make the axe 🪓😂👍👏
Thanks 👍
Este hombre es un genio, literalmente es un artista..
Excellent craftsmanship. I like that automated hammering device you have. Definitely saves the elbow.
Loved your video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Bob!

интересно какое имя? Наверное владимир владимирович ?

I enjoyed watching the making of the handle just as much as I enjoyed watching the making of the axe head.
Awesome axe! I am really enjoying watching your techniques. I have been struggling with getting the harden able bit to seat well. Your process of notching it prior to forge welding it together is genius. I think I’ll go give that a try.
What a stubborn piece of steel. Beautiful work. 🪓
I never tire of watching your videos ,great axe
Congratulations from Brazil ! You are an artist ---- a very fine sense of aesthetic !
I recognize the Iron Mountain Forge Welding Flux you're using at 10:57. I've had great results with it. It's really great flux and is even better than straight borax.
Beautiful design and workmanship. Old school excellence!!!!!
You put so much love in your work !! i really enjoyed watching you sir .
Your work is very nice. Your axe is very strong and sharp.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Was reading a Dutch carpentry handbook from 1914 and they mentioned that 'the axe has an edge on both sides because the steel is welded between the iron'. Wanted to see it for myself!
