    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

      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 :)

    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!

      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.

    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.

      Rv4 Guy, people that think that THEIR way to do something is the ONLY way and that by putting someone else's idea down somehow makes their idea better. Pathetic thinking. Jealousy is also a huge issue.
