My students will be creating this trivet-thanks to your video every step is beautifully illustrated for them. Thank you for taking the time and effort to create your blacksmithing videos.
Beautiful work as usual. Glad to see you back at the forge. The copper rivets make for a very artistic touch. Your attention to the small details is amazing.
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.
Went out to the shop and made one last night. Watched your video again today and noticed a few mistakes that I had made. Back out to the shop to try again. Thanks for sharing your craft .
oh my friend you are so clever!!!!!! I never wrote you but saw all your videos presented..... well another great handcraft.......and waitting the next.....Juan from Uruguay. good luck.
The thing that I cannot do, I find I can do through you. As always a pleasure watching you bend steel to your whim. The scrolls are delicate and the finish is awesome. Thanks for posting
Just when I thought you were going to weld the pieces together, no you decide to rivet the with copper wire. You always keep me guessing. Beautiful piece!!!
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? ?
Thank you, Mr. Åhman, for sharing your work with us! It's really mesmerizing to watch you turn just a simple piece of metal in something that beautiful!
The way you do it is some kind of meditation-thing with fire, steel and tools... the outcome is always a go, but not that important... it is the process of blacksmithing-meditation... I cannot describe it in any other way... great video - thumbs up.
Oi Torbjörn, just wanted to say I really appreciate your work! Not just the beautiful pieces you create, but the video editing is sooo good! You take your time while creating, always relaxed and taking care of every detail! As some ppl say, your videos are somehow soothing and relaxing. Thanks a lot for sharing your marvelous work!
When I saw you drilling them I thought "Oh no, I would've made collars" but then I saw the copper rivets and I thought " Now that is just perfect!". :)
Yes, sadly not that appreciated today... Looking back 100-150 years, at european architecture, decorative ironwork was a main feature of many buildings.
That was very smart with the copper rivets. I wouldn't have thought that, I figured you'd weld it or wrap a collar around them but the way you did it seems like the best method. Great work!
All your videos are awesome! So awesome my friend and are in the process of building a open pit forge. Thanks for showing us how beautiful blacksmith ing can be.
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!
I think you should test them out individually, actually. Go for the cheapest one first :) I haven't used anthracite coal myself, only bituminous and coke.
Just amazing! Your work is always so clean and elegant. You seem to do it so effortlessly. I hope my own stuff can be half that good one of these days!
Thanks! Well, I think that would be hard to do right now, and I don't like to promise when a new video is coming. I do a new one when I feel like it! Simple as that.
sinceramente considero que lo que haces es todo un arte,desde los trazos hasta las cientos de veces que golpeas el metal....felicidades!!!tienes un fan en Mexico!
I am a small time blacksmith and love watching Torbjorn…..the guy is just great !!!
My students will be creating this trivet-thanks to your video every step is beautifully illustrated for them. Thank you for taking the time and effort to create your blacksmithing videos.
Great, thanks!
Perfect video. No talking. Totally relaxing. Feels good doing a job well.
Thank you!!
As a retired blacksmith, I find your channel to be the best meditation on TH-cam. Thank you for producing.
Wow, thank you so much Peter!
Beautiful work as usual. Glad to see you back at the forge. The copper rivets make for a very artistic touch. Your attention to the small details is amazing.
Thanks!
I loved the copper rivets and the re-use of the copper wire. Very nice work!
I've never done any blacksmithing, but I find your videos fascinating and very satisfying to watch. :)
That's cool. Thanks!
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 du är bra på det här
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.
I'm not sure wither. If you do quality work and can handle allot of hard work I think it's possible without a doubt.
Went out to the shop and made one last night. Watched your video again today and noticed a few mistakes that I had made. Back out to the shop to try again. Thanks for sharing your craft .
Cool. Thanks Joe!!
As soon as I watched your first video, it inspired me to start blacksmithing, now I am the best blacksmith in town, and I'm inly13!
Perfect!
The time-lapse of peening those pins was amazing, like magic. Your hammer just floated above and they slowly melted into shape. Great job!
He he, yep. The force is strong with that hammer. Thanks
You are a true master of your craft. It is so refreshing to watch your technique. Your knowledge and level really shine through!
Thank you Jack!

Great! Thanks
Just when I thought you were going to weld the pieces together, no you decide to rivet the with copper wire. You always keep me guessing. Beautiful piece!!!
Very nice organic design..looks like swirling pools of water. The boiled linseed oil finish...perfect! Looks lovely on the wood table. Well done! 😃
Thank you!!
Ten minutes in and I'm gland to see the ancient technique of the hovering hammer still exists use it wisely.. grateful you shared thank you ✌
The power of the force... :) Thanks!

It sounds a little small for that, but different hammers delivers different blows so you shouldn't rule it out completely without testing.
One would think hammering would be nerve wracking. Your videos are extremely therapeutic, however. Love your work. Please continue.
Thank you!!
Thank you, Mr. Åhman, for sharing your work with us! It's really mesmerizing to watch you turn just a simple piece of metal in something that beautiful!

I assumed the welding machine was going to come out - very pleased with the rivets!
@@rosstapson I was going to say this too!
Always a pleasure to sit, relax, and watch one of your videos. Very much enjoy the work you do!
Thanks
Beautiful craftsmanship and well filmed/edited, thanks! Whoever disliked this is a fool
Imagine how nice your house would be with small accents like this integrated into the function of the house.
Yes, sadly not that appreciated today... Looking back 100-150 years, at european architecture, decorative ironwork was a main feature of many buildings.
Yet another superbly designed and finished project. Very satisfying to watch you work. Thank you.

Thank you!!
another great vídeo, it feels so good watching it... greetings from El Salvador, Central America....
Thanks!!
Wow! Beautiful work! I loved the use of that template for the swirl. That really save a lot of work versus using the horn of your anvil.
Thanks. Yes, if you want identical pieces it saves a lot of time and fiddling around.
Man, you're really good at this. Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!
I like how delicate he is with the hammer strokes. You can almost tell that he is a master lovemaker aswell. :)
A thing of beauty is joy for ever.....
Congratulations! I was amazed watching how to convert plain iron into art.
As usual you once again demonstrate how lazy and careless I am. Forcing me to improve all aspects of my work from tool making to techniques.
Can you imagine a railing with such figures, it is a lot of work ..
Such a wonderful symmetrical design! Thank you for sharing & inspiring.
After all these years, how has this item continued to remain functional?
Thanks. Still going strong... nothing that really wears on this one.
@@torbjornahman Thanks for your reply, that is good to know. I was curious about the the copper rivets work hardening over time.
This video and the whole comment section just leaves me staring at the screen with a dumb smile I cannot wipe off.
Well done as usual =)
He he, thank you!
What a good-looking trivet! The copper bolts (?) are super nice, I didn't know you can do that. Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks!
Nice video, Torbjörn.
The Trivet looks great.
You can use it for different things (hot pot on it, coffee pot on it or as candlestick, etc.) use.
Thanks. Yes, it can be used for different things!
Your videos are wonderful, you are very intelligent. Congratulations from Brazil
I love watching you work
What a beautiful object.
Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Thanks, you're welcome.
That is a gorgeous creation. Your camera work was perfect to understand the process 👍. Sub'ed.
Thank you very much!
This is brilliant work, thanks for the linseed oil trick on the fire, I didn't know that one.
Please do more!
Thanks!
Great work and beautiful as always =) I find that kind of manual work and also watching it, is either relaxing and mind soothing.
Thanks!!
A pleasure to watch, as always Torbjörn - keep on!
Great. Thanks!!
what a beautiful and elegant piece!
Thanks!
Beautiful work brother. You inspire me to get more creative.
Cool. Thanks!
The old blacksmith school, but very, very nice!

Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE your videos and have watch them all (some many times)
No problem! Thanks!
Wonderful and elegant work, as always!
That was satisfying to watch, I want to try making one. That curve bending jig looks tricky to make.
Thanks. Well, the scroll former is not very hard to make but it takes a bit of time to make it right, from a drawing.
Stunning. You do beautiful work.
You always amaze me with your work.
Thanks!
Sei un mostro mi piace la disinvoltura di come lavori e fai le cose per bene
Bellísimo. Eres un artista artesano increible. Es hermoso ver como se hacen las cosas de la manera y en los tiempos necesarios y no industrializados.
Thank you!!

Me and my immortal love for triskelions. I might favor a very specific type but i love all.
Fabulous! Absolutely fabulous. I love watching your videos.
Thanks!
Looks great! The rivets are a nice touch. I'm lazy, I would have tig welded it from the underside.
Thanks. Yes, you'd be done in half the time :)
SUPERB!!! Awesome work, as always. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
That's a nice trivet. I like the design of it. Nice n sturdy.
Thanks
Gracias Torbjorn por compartirlo,excelente trabajo.
Thanks
de lo simple fabrica arte, todo un gran maestro.
I don't know how many times I've watched your videos, all are great. Will you ever do one on how you made the bending jig? Very informative as always.
Great! It's on my list actually, but I haven't had a need for another one yet...
Eh Torbjörn che precisione e che bell' oggetto che hai creato , veramente fine e utilissimo ! Buona serata e complimenti , sei mitico!
Thanks!!
Very good craftsman. Always very good videos.
Sweet. Thanks!
Es empezar el vídeo y ya le doy a la manita arriba ,pues se de sobra que lo hagas te saldrá a la perfección
Mycket fint gjort. Gillar dom små naturbitarna med i videon, det är trevligt! Ger en extra mysfaktor.
Tack. Ja, jag skulle filmat lite mer natur... men så slog vädret om o blev grått....
Februari i Sverige brukar inte vara känt för sitt underbara väder tyvärr. :)
Ser fram emot nästa video som vanligt Torbjörn!
