- I show how I make a classic ball peen hammer. I forge the head from scratch and make a custom handle.

No surprise here. The quietest, most modest, most highly cultured craftsman on TH-cam forges the most beautiful, precise hammer. Well done. A work of art in every detail.
Thank you so much! Though you should here me cursing when things going bad... :)
I agree, such high skills from TA. Love his work.

I can't believe that someone would give this master Craftsman a dislike on his video , whenever he posts a video it's my no 1 choice on the first video to watch, man you are amazing don't ever doubt your capabilities
I agree! Nice job
As a mechanic for 45+ years I really appreciate the quality and feel of fine tools. And yes, there IS a difference.
Charlie Roloff That is what my sister-in-law said to me the other night!!!
What a joy to see a real craftsman create a tool that will last over one hundred years.
That was most enjoyable to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I love watching a true craftsman at his trade.
That was the most enjoyable 20 minutes I've spent on TH-cam for a long time - it was therapy! You really are very skilled.
Thanks Henry!

@@ernestodavalos8513 not sure what you mean with "pos?" my friend.
Less lawyers, bankers and politicians and more of people like you! Never knew a hammer could be such a work of art in the making!
You just made an anti semitic comment!
@Cheryl Gillette will take care of him
@@williepierce3933 er, no, you did.
@Cheryl, you're hilarious! Thanks for the laugh! :)
Lawyers, bankers and politicians don't make wealth. They merely rearrange it. This gentleman makes wealth one object at a time.
I admire your persistence. A man who has not made a mistake has done nothing. Well done.
Computer engineer and developer for years. Seeing this: I wish I was a blacksmith. Very nice and interesting, thank you for sharing.
It's never too late! :) I worked with 3d viz for 20 years prior to this...
@@torbjornahman so are you a professional? because i really envy your lab, but i cannot justify having it for myself :D

Torbjorn is right. It's only too late to learn a new thing when you are dead. I'm 42 and work as a service engineer for warehouse automation. For 2 years now i'm carving spoons as a hobby. Few months ago i forged my first hook knife at home. Just pushed the old chisel into the fire in the kitchen and made my first tool by hammering some hot steel on a little anvil nailed into a wooden brick:D
Right now i'm making my first forge in the old bucket. It may take some time, depending on my service travels, but it's fun!
@Torbjörn Åhman Thank you for inspiration and also showing your mistakes. The only person who does nothing, doesn't make mistakes:)
Torbjorn, you're human after all!! It's re-assuring to know that even somone as skilled as yourself never gets it right first time. Excellent craftmanship and a superb piece. Thanks for the video
Hwh
How do you know that he never gets it right the first time?
Does he always show his failures in his videos? I've only seen this one.
Still, he got further and further along with each time. And, they improved a lot too.
He certainly is a fast learner.
It's not just the making of a hammer ,It's the knowing how to use ones hands to make and build something and everytime one picks up the hammer one says , I made this . Beautiful work and Beautiful hammer .
You sir, are an artist, and while it hurts to say, a dying breed. Thank you for sharing this with us.
One thing that I always admire about Tor is that he is very precise in all of his measurements, and it definitely shows in the final pieces. That is a high quality smith right there.
Thank you!
Excellent work! Very enjoyable to watch. And thank you for not having music. It doesn't need it.
I appreciate you showing all 4 attempts. That really emphasizes how challenging this skill is, even to those who have a firm grasp on it. Seeing more than just final product perfection, really hammers (no pun intended) home the value of the craft. Thank you for that transparency.
YES!!
As a beginner blacksmith its really motivating to see that even someone at this caliber doesn't get everything perfect first go. Makes it feel a little less daunting and actually seem achievable one day.
What a privilege is was to watch a true craftsman create this hammer.
Thank you!
I've always liked the blacksmith. Like a carpenter or a person who works with clay. Much respect!
I have a whole new appreciation for hammers, thanks to your craftsmanship. Well done, sir!
I bet it'll last a *lot* longer than the $1 hammers at a discount shop.
I now have a greater appreciation for power hammers!! LOL
A thing of beauty....what else could one say? Thanks for sharing these priceless examples of your creative craftsmanship.
That is a beautiful hammer. I was especially astounded when you pulled out the first 3 attempts. You sir are a manly man. I love your shop too.
Thanks.
Brilliant woodworking and metalworking skills. That hammer is truly a piece of art, something to be very proud of.
Thanks John! Yes it came out very nice.
Excellent. This side of fabrication is not my world, but I enjoy watching talented craftsman do their thing.
Outstanding, That is a work of art! Watching you work is so relaxing. I really enjoy your videos. Please keep it up!
Good hammer, being a blacksmith should be a very rewarding job shaping the iron and creating the most diverse tools. You are a master. Greetings from Portugal.
Beautiful hammer. I like that you showed your earlier tries. It was easy to see the progression.

Hey! I appreciate your time and work in this video. I don’t think many people would recognize how much work goes into an item such as this. Thank you for sharing.
I always wondered how that was done. Now I know. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching. Nice to see someone who knows what he is doing.
Well, if you buy it in the store, it's probably cast.
Hace falta más gente como tú en éste mundo amigo.
Pedazo de ARTESANO!
Gracias por compartir y saludos desde Reynosa Tamaulipas México!
Extraordinary, very thorough work. With perfect results
Outstanding build on both hammerhead and handle!!!
Bird feeding's nice touch. I usually read a book while waiting on the oven.... Great Vid. Ty.
It's wonderful watching you doing the whole thing deligently and concensiously. Are you a professional blacksmith and a carpenter? Your patience and perseverance have paid you very much ❤️.
Absolutely astounding craftsmanship. That is a piece that I would be very proud of. Beautiful work Torbjorn

Brilliant Tore , toppen , no music is a plus, you are a man of patience and perfection. I like your toys, the drop hammers are ancient and still working and your anvil is the biggest, most polished and loved I have seen . bravo

The most perfect hummer that i´ve ever seen ... !!!! Congratulations !!!
Impressive, interesting that the project took a few attempts, a lesson for us all. Terrific video.
It’s nice to see a real craftsman at work. Nice job.
Wonderful crafting. You are the best resource person. May I have ever the same workshop you have!
great video which proves you are a most talented and skilled craftsman,.....thoroughly enjoyable to watch you work !!
How’ve I been watching this man for YEARS-and this is the FIRST TIME I’ve heard him speak?!😵
:)
I've found your videos to be a great way to end the day. Very soothing for some reason, takes the mind off what's happening in the world. Thanks for some really interesting content!
I have enjoyed your videos, and really appreciate that there is no music.
Absolutely beautiful work - in both metal and wood.. great tips, and a well made video, and all so calm. Best wishes from the turmoil of London!
Simply Amazing! I'm a woodworker, and I couldnt believe the time you put in just the handle, much less all the craftsmanship you did on the hammer! Love it!
Thank you Jay!
@@torbjornahman Sir; can I buy one of your creations? I say that only because I know how hard it is to put in all the time and effort to create a piece of art, and your workmanship is amazing! I would love to own one of your pieces of art!
Sadly I don't have much time for that... I do put up some stuff on my web-page from time to time.
You are awesome sir.
You make the hammer with traditional tools.amazing.
What a beauty. It's now a family heirloom, good for several generations. Well worth the invested time.
You can't buy that kind of quality craftsmanship and artistry.. well done!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I really appreciate you teaching your experience. 🙌
The urge to grab it by hand...oh man especially when it drops! Awesome work!! Makes me want to start building my own tools!
It's great to watch a great craftsman work. You obviously have great skill.
Work of art , I’m not sure if there could be anything more satisfying to look at after it’s done .
I fall in love with the hammer. Dear mr. Torbjorn, you truly got two golden hands.
Well done! A very professionally made hammer, you''re a real craftsman!
Yes I agree thanks for NO music... A really good job. Thank you for sharing. This is how I like U tube vids to be to see the work done and subtitles. Thank you once again
Wonderful bit of pure art and skill. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us such magic.
it was a pleasure to watch you work, sir. Great job
That piece belongs on a wall framed in mahogany. It is too beautiful to be used. Thank you so much for sharing 😀
:) I might consider that, ha ha... na, it should be used I think.
Tools are meant to be used, and beautiful tools denote a craftsman who can afford to use them or who is skilled enough to make them. If the tool works well, that speaks even more highly of the one who made it :)
I fully agree!
When archaeologist's discover this hammer head in thousands of years from now, buried in clay and identify the maker from the maker's stamp. It will held using white gloves and stored in the National Museum for the general public to see.........Well thats taking it a bit too far!! Ha!! A fruitful imagination and a belly full of beer. Still, its a beautiful hammer.
Hey, the cycle from creation to rediscovery has to start somewhere.
In the UK raising the grain with water is called "feathering". I use it when making gun stocks.
Beautifully crafted. Thank you for sharing your work. The sound of that seasoned piece of hickory was wonderful.
Thank you!
Excellent workmanship 👍I’m just starting out and this is very helpful to see your progress in the making of this hammer. Thanks !!
I am speechless!
Almost like factory made!
Just kidding- way better.
Must be a thrilling feeling of satisfaction to make something both beautiful and functional.
Thank you!! I'm quite proud of this one!
Alf Iversen, I get what you meant by factory made, but this is infinitely superior: in no way a factory made one would have such quality build. ;-)
Neto Rosatelli
Oh- I absolutely agree, I was just trying to be funny.
In this instance I find an understanding for how hammers made in factories got their form from hand made objects- maybe they would look different if pure production efficiency was to dictate form?
What a beautiful tool, far too good to be ever used, I would display it, and just admire the craftmanship.
Thanks for an unusual and interesting video, keep up the good work.
Que habilidad mas grande la de este hombre, oficios que se van extinguiendo
Another incredible build. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
great work, felt the hand of the master I admire the skill of working with fire and hammer
Your Son and generations after him will enjoy that hammer. Good job and good video, Thank you for sharing.
You are quite masterful! You make it look easy! I am going to take some blacksmithing classes this winter, and follow an age old desire of mine. I am hoping to find someone like you to teach me!
Absolutely beautiful work.....beautiful hammer. Heat treat, woodwork, smithing, and good eye. Thank you for this.
Thanks Tom!
I am rendered speechless by the craftsmanship in this build. Thank you.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
You are the real deal. Craftmanship. Set the standard for knuckleheads like me out here whamming away.
This is the tenth time I have watched this and still find is bloody fascinating, god you make it look easy
Beautiful Toolmaking Art!
This is so relaxing to watch!
Great work all in all!!!
Beautiful
Amazing, more so because you could of just nipped out and bought one but you chose to make one instead - hats off to you sir you are very talented and a true craftsman, cleary at the time of writing this 275 people would of sooner just bought one
Thanks
I bought one at a second hand market really cheap, mainly because i don't have the knowhow nor equipment to make one, mine looks 99% identical … still really cool to see how this one was made, because mine was likely made 99% the same. Just not by TA, actually no makers mark on it unfortunately, just a weight mark... Clearly early century factory work, but still made by hand in just the same way.
Commendable! Hard work is the one I am in search of. Looking after the Birds was great too. Stay happy and blessed always
NICE! Wow that is a lot of work for 1 hammer! Very Impressed!
Awesome work! I am glad you used hand tools to make the handle. That was excellent.
high quality in craftsmanship is all I can say-----Thank you for the video
Thanks for showing your first 3 attempts, the skill is learned from practice!
Trabalho maravilhoso , habilidade , criatividade e também muito conhecimento sobre tratamento térmico de aço. Parabéns.
Wonderful work, skill, creativity and also a lot of knowledge about heat treatment of steel. Congratulations.
Wow! Beautiful work...one more! Congratulations, my pal!

I just love this sort of film so much, really shortens my learning curve. Many thanks.
This was wonderful to watch and learn...thank you for the demonstration and amazement at ur techniques and expertise! Blessings 2 u and ur family...
Hi Torbjorn! Hope you're well and you had a good easter break, jsut wanted to say thanks heaps for this video! I have been making a small engravers hammer over the weekend and some gravers, and I realised I didnt know the order of operations for setting a hammer head on the handle, so followed this and it turned out great! Thanks so much!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Respekt,Anerkennung und absolute Bewunderung, das ist Handwerkskunst vom Allerfeinsten!
awesome video! in the beginning when you flicked the steel in two was so satisfying.
Gorgeous work. Truly a craftsman/artist my friend.
Automatic subscribe. Special thanks for showing the failed attempts this is a lesson of love for the craft and life itself, you are inspiring.
Thank you very much!
Both the video and the end result are fantastic (as always)!!
Nice hammer! It's good to see the first three attempts, I always find the best way to learn is experimenting and making mistakes. Keep up the good work.
Muito bom cara vc é um mestre
Essa aranha e bem bacana.
You make some of the nicest tools. I love watching your videos. I’m aspiring to become a blacksmith I only hope to gain half your knowledge and skill. You have such an imagination. Well done sir!
Just discovered your videos; absolutely wonderful work! I'm a 'wood' guy, not a metal guy, but I'm always fascinated by talented craftsmanship . As a wood guy, be sure to add a set of spokeshaves to your Christmas wish list. They will make that handle work a LOT easier!
Cool, thanks!
Congratulations from Brazil!
Amazing hammer and a beatiful black widow spider on the wall!
Your work is both inspiring and amazing,Thank You for sharing!
flawless artisanship. respect for your passion
Wow! I was watching your "half moon leather knife" video, when I saw the hammer and thought that it had a certain brand. So, I searched for this video. And I am glad I did.
Wonderful. Craftsmanship and tenacity. "Two days of experimentation" is a credit to you. Thank you for sharing this video.
Cool, thank you!
That was awesome! It truly is a lost art for some but not for you. Great job!
It's not just a tool. It's a work of art. beautiful!!
And that’s where $300.00 hammers come from ladies and gentlemen, worth every penny
Good video made by genuine craftsman, there are so many good things to learn proper method to work successfully
Thanks
I noticed that you are leaving some notes, this is a great way to connect with the viewers.
All the best, Edgar
Thanks Edgar!
Enjoyed the video Sir! Thrilled to see the old machinery and your skill on it . Thank you👍😊
