      It's kind of therapeutic. You wouldn't think someone hammering on steel with great force would be anything but relaxing, but somehow it is.

      Torbjörn Åhman Is it hard to make a living as a blacksmith and knifemaker these days? I am not really sure. My neighbour was a horseshoer and could hardly make a living.

      Hi Torbjörn I am looking to purchase a power hammer and was wondering if I can get some advice from you, there is one for sale close to me it is a 20kg hammer. Would a 20 kg be sufficient for forging axes , hammers etc or would it not be strong enough? ?

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It sounds a little small for that, but different hammers delivers different blows so you shouldn't rule it out completely without testing.

      Mr. Åhman , good news- my friend and i finished the forge! Yay! We tried logs as burning fuel and it did heat metal to bright orange but wood just doesn't last long. Can you give me some tips on what to buy- coal or coke? Bituminous or anthracite coal- i not sure i understand which is best.please Help! Thanks for the videos and Merry Christmas!

    • @torbjornahman
