- In this video I make a style of tongs called pickup tongs or power hammer tongs. This is my first pair of this kind.

such nice skills here! you literally gave me the want to start forging! thanks million! :) i all ready made my forge and make a lift to an anvil from my grand father. and now because of you i want to make my own pickup tongues! thanks again mate :)
Great, Have fun!
Yeeeeeees a new video. Thanks, Torbjörn, amazing as always.
+Jordan McIntosh Webb Thank you.
Watching you just makes me wanna be a blacksmith that only makes tongs
I am so impressed on how precise in length and curvature you made the tongs. It amazes me! I could watch you make things for hours!! Great video!
Recycling at its best. Very skilful drawing out the steel with the power hammer. Great work from a true Craftsman. Thank you.
brother watching your video s another world I feel as if it is in your hands health God give you and your family healthy long life amine.
Thanks for the video! They can't come fast enough! :)
+Dennis B Thanks :)
I always appreciate how clean and neat your work looks and these tongs were no exception. Thank you for sharing
You have a most wonderful skill. The ability to forge metal is just fascinating. I could watch it all day long and the mech hammer is just awesome. To be able to make your own tools from someones else's scrap magic.
+Alan Byrne Thank you!
+Torbjörn Åhman will you make me a knife please
i just love your videos, especially the sound, many people who make videos of blacksmithing think it's a great idea to put music, but that just kills it, nothing beats the good ol' sound of iron getting hammered that's why i really love your videos, and your craftsmanship is always a pleasure to watch!
+Jothunheim Thank you!
À propósito eu assisto seus vídeos sempre é estou aprendendo muito com você. Que Deus ilumine você e sua profissão
The trick at @3:50 for hammering to a specific thickness is pretty cool.
Hi, I've been mechanic for fifty years, have a few old smithing tools from a house I lived in, and have forged my own occasional special tool, for most of these years. I'm retired now, with my own shop, in "farm country", and have learned a lot from this, and other videos. I've done some pretty rough and crude work, "good enough to do the job", but have been setting up to do it right, and this has been a great video, of exactly what I did wrong thirty years ago, forging a set of tongs, that have worked, barely, and will get "re-worked" next week, into a decent shape. Excellent technique, patience, hammer skill, a real pleasure to watch. Thanks for the enthusiasm, encouragement, and high standard of craftmanship!!
Thanks John! Much appreciated, good luck!
Another epic video, Thank you!
14:50 Nice , but why you had to spoil it with those V dents ....?
15:05 Question answered.
Bows to you Sir.
nice square corner, along with everything else of course. you are truly a craftsman
+akagi333701550221k Thanks!
Great work! Good to see you playing with your new toy, as well!
16:03 makes me think of an excited dog waiting for the ball to be thrown.
haha, you're right. The pneumatic hammers always look as if they are impatiently waiting! god bless
Unbelievable hand forging! This is how they must have done it hundreds maybe thousands of years ago. The well controlled hammer blows quickly shaped the spring steel into a usable destruct proof pair of tongs.
Я восхищаюсь вашей работой. 👏👏👏👍
Watching Torbjorn is the best stress reliever.....Love the sweet sounds he brings out of the anvil. Jc
انا ايضآ حداد من العراق اصنع الكماشه بطريقه اخرى
What is the diameter of the stock spring? And approximately how long was it? Thanks!
If I remember right it was 20mm spring. Length is not that important, but probably around 250mm or so. It depends on how long reins you like.
It's raining here, I just programmed 10 hours of your videos into my chromecast 👍🏻
Very good...
it is very relaxing to watch no word no music just the sound of the forged matal
Maestro ahora buenas noches que buen trabajo ha hecho con con la tenaza

Very good video again! :) Thanks very much Torbjörn! :)
Outstanding hammer skills enjoyed this content 🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧
As always big fat thank you for sharing. Couldnt find the spring diameter in the video or in the comments, would you be so kind to share it? I wanna make these tong soon as possible and every measure spares experimental time ;) Take care and all the best...
This was 20mm I think.
@@torbjornahman Already found one, as always tack så mycket och all lycka till :)
I love everything, except the plastic gloves. Wonderful forging!
Tnks master good example tnks,,,
Dear Sir,
I wanted to thank you for your videos. I have admired the art of blacksmithing for a long time, and watching your videos, inspired me to take a teaser course at the Memphis Metal Museum. It was not a bad choice, I remembered many of the things you did in your videos and produced a forged hook that was by far the best in the group. And yet I'd never swung a hammer before that day to strike a red hot piece of mild steel.
I will continue to enjoy your videos and learn as I can. I hope to find a someone with the equipment to further my interest, and much of it is thanks to you. I wish you a great life and joy Sir.
+Remowylliams Wow, thank you! I hope you manage to develop you interest! Good luck!
great tongs. I have alot of hand made tongs i use at work for forging i do. Keep up the good work.
M.S. 100%
Bravoooooooooooo, bravooooooooooooo, bravoooooooooooo.
I really enjoy your videos. Please keep up the good work! I'm a fan.
Another excellent piece! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
You make everything so perfect!!
Jonathan Eriksson I agree he really does.
Pretty nice demo, again. Especially that "How they work and what you can do (crab) with them-part".
Beautifully done, sir. Glad to see a new video.
Beautiful work
Well that's another pair of tongs I need to forge. Great video as always! Thank you!

Damn show off
Torbjörn, is is a joy looking at your skilful blacksmithing. How and when did you start?
very use full
Terima kasih pak Torbjorn atas video²nya... anda luar biasa sekali...
All of your videos are so much fun to watch. It feels like I’m peering into the Middle Ages with an HD modern twist.
:) Thanks!
Bueno 💪💪💪
👍👍👍
Beautiful set of tongs there Torbjorn.
I see you used a respirator in this video, and have seen you use it with the power hammer in other videos. Does forging metals create a dust problem? Always nice to see what you make!
Yes you swirl up quite a bit of dust when forging and I like to avoid breathing it.

Excellent as always!!
from TRG Malaysia nice jobs
Excellent in every aspect. Loved it.
I was afraid the pin would forgeweld to the tongs like that. Funny stuff: It didnt.
+ot0m0t0 Way too low temperature for that! :)
