    amazing work, i liked the wide angle where we could see your workshop, positioning of the forge, anvil, powerhammer, tools...

    I love watching Blacksmiths forge random Items. I think it's cool how they can shape a material like iron.

    I just re-watched this video for the 4 time. 1 of my favorite videos! definitely 1 of the best Blacksmithing channels.
    thank you again friend.

    I had the pleasure of dealing with this man and have bought one of his hammers and have it delivered to Ireland. My opinion - its a work of art. You can tell by the detail on the hammer the passion and love this man has for his smith work. He is a gifted blacksmith. I hope to have the strength & health to swing this hammer for many years to come and pass on to my son at some stage. Thank you again Torbjörn. A delight dealing with you Sir.

    Blacksmithing looks so goddamn satisfying... I really want to get started on it, but definitely as a hoobyist aswell. I could never sell a piece of art like this

    Interesting to see the blacksmithing process. There has always been a sort of mystery behind this skill for me personally. Good to see people are keeping the practice alive in modern times

    This is such an awesome production Torbjörn, I keep finding myself back here watching it over and over. need to get myself a power hammer, yours is quiet compared to most or are you just turning the sound down when you come to edit? cheers!

      @torbjornahman  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ***** Thanks! Difficult to tell how loud it is from the video. I'm on auto gain control so the level will adjust itself. However I think the hammer is below average. For any power hammer, it probably depends really much on how it's mounted and in what environment it sits.

    fortunaetly you have a power hammer... would have been a shit ton of work to forge this hammer with hand tools only... i mean it already is a bunch of work to forge some simple flat nib tongs if you have to draw out the reins with hand tools only

    Using an electric hammer to make a normal hammer... That is so many kinds of funny. ;] Next project is to make an electric hammer using the hammer hammer?
    after re-reading this... I realize it might come across as a criticism. I don't mean it that way. It is just that the irony is hysterical.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3
