- In this video I show how I make my fire basket! A fun project involving some basic techniques and repetition making several matching pieces. It's a lot of work though, and I underestimated the time needed for this project :)

There is something absolutely mesmerizing and spellbinding when observing a master forger and craftsman displaying his unequaled skills for the gratification of people like myself to not only appreciate but, also to learn from. I am forever spellbound whenever you post an upload Sir, and this creation like every other before it is absolutely outstanding as well as inspiring and a product of you patience, determination, skills and mastery. Thank You again Sir. Peace and Love to You and Yours.
Thank you very much William! It means a lot!
The candy church was in-spiring too.
@@torbjornahman I'd have used the sugar glue.
Very well said William, I totally agree!
Me too, what William O said.
As I was watching this, I thought, “That’s pretty cool, very clever. Now if it weren’t for all those ugly bolts.” Then you started making the rivets and I went “Ah!” Well done! Happy New Year to you and your family.
:) Thanks! It's good to know everything fits before you rivet... there is no going back from that!
Was thinking the same, that it'd be better with rivets, then he forged them as I thought it. Left me happy, lol.
@@george8873 Yeah, I was like " Oh, thank God, he's not leaving those ugly bolts!" Beautifully barbaric, I want one for the mead hall.
@Charles Brainard Me too
Saw the plated nuts and bolts and knew rivets would follow. Unplated hardware? Still would have expected rivets. :)
Beautiful design and execution! Thank you :)
Thanks!
Björn det är fantastiskt o du verkligen proffsig på ditt jobb
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👏🙏👏🙏🥰
You and Torbjorn are both young! I'm subscribed to both of your channels and I really like it! Happy New year 2021!

@@torbjornahman привет 👋 😬 😬 😬 Как делишки 😬 😌
The Beacon is lit, Gondor calls for aid!
Absolutely stellar work on this brazier! Makes me want a to forge a set of them myself to flank the entrance to a house.
I am transfixed each time I watch a video from you, Torbjorn. But this one took me to a whole new level. There are soooo many blacksmiths out there making blades, but too few showing great craftsmanship making and building other things. I've been a follower for several years now and you never disappoint. I'm very thankful you sacrifice your time for us. Thank you! This project is in my future. John is right, it came out perfect.
Thank you so much Dan!
Love the "This Old Tony" homage at the beginning. *Snap*
I've seen this type of homage, a few times, here.
Always leaves me smiling.
steve
Its usual in TÅ vids to. Old T is great to.
TOT released a video yesterday
@@Ilex1 Yeah, I saw that.. Argon and all that.. I dont know how I became so hooked on a hobby machinist's side projects but #thisoldtony really keeps me coming back for more. Also TÅ now, too.
American here, gotta say, the look of the millimeter tape measure is so clean and makes me jealous.
No inches are better
In Scotland we have tapes with metric and inches (Imperial)
Works fine 👍
@@hrxy1 No, mm are better. 1 cm is 2 parts 5mm each. 1 inch is in 4 main parts. Each of this main parts is splitted on 2 smaller parts - and each of the smaller parts is splitted on next 4 smaller parts. Too complicated, easy to make a mistake.
@@mago_8145 no an inch is more organic in terms of proportion, as is a foot. Divisible by 6,4,3,&2. An inch&aquarter, is proportional to 1foot 3inches. An inch halfed is half an inch, halved is quarter, halved an eighth, halved 16th halved is a 32 balved is a 64th, its easier, and its always proportional to an inch and a foot. 3 dimensionally it's more pleasing to the eye, which is why modern cars, tvs fridges and all modern appliances look like shit.
@@mago_8145 An inch tape is way easier to read for me.
That was one of the best blacksmithing jobs I've ever seen.
Everything he does is gold.
@@earlemorgan5068 actually, its steel 😂
Absolutely loved it. Great project and it came out perfect. How many weeks work do you actually have into the design, preparation, forging and filming?
Thanks John! I don't keep track, but I probably worked on it for about 2 weeks in total. Actual metal production maybe one week... not sure. Filming adds a lot of overhead....
Instablaster...
That's why every time TH-cam sends me a message that a new video has arrived from Torbjörn Åhman, I am overwhelmed with joy! Thank you :)
Wow, thank you!
Always a good day when I get an upload from you! Thanks Torbjörn!
This is so good on so many levels. The craftsmanship is methodical and thorough. Eg. the chamfers on the outside of the rivets vs. the flat finish on the inside give it that rounded softened feel. The Christmas theme and final fire make it feel comforting and warm. It's so good, I'll probably come back to watch it again and again. It's like blacksmithing ASMR.
Thanks David!
The best blacksmith on TH-cam by far!
True!
Love this channel too. Especially as we dont get bothered with the host pleading for subscription to the channel and standing in the picture blabbering.
Hejsan ifron Danmark :)
Are there any words left to describe such mastership? I am blown away. Speechless. And this happens every time I see these videos. Constant reminder of the meaning of perfection. Love you, Torbjoern! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I watched this when it came out a year ago, and I continue to watch this video repeatedly about once a month. It's my favorite thus far, I love the look of it, I love to watch you work with the care you take and the patience you have to do the job right and do it right the first time to make a quality piece that will clearly last for years if its taken care of. Bravo!
Thanks Jim!
It's beautiful!
The look on your face though when you dumped the pile of rivets on the forge to start making them sure said "Why did I decide to do this again?" Lots of repetitive work, but the end result is amazing!
:) :) Thanks!
A true craftsman, and father, the world needs more like you!
Amazing job! Every step of the way I kept thinking "it's perfect, what could he be doing to make it better", but you just kept making it better. Incredible attention to detail. Cheers.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the time you spend with your family. Another fantastic and beautifully designed work of a blacksmith
Fire cradle you don't see them made properly everyday . I praise your gifted hands,mind for what you created.
Thanks!
Dude, that seemed like a ton of work. When you put the first rod back into the fire I realised the scope of what you were doing there - all these separate steps, so many of 'em, and you had to reheat it almost every time! With every time you put a stack of stuff onto the "finished" pile, you seemed more angry in the way you put them down ^^
I hope your family likes to huddle around it as well :)
Ha ha, thanks! I'm trying not to look at the amount of work to start with, just complete each step, but of course it's there in the back of your mind...
@@torbjornahman Exactly. Complete the thirty-fourth difficult, complicated, aggravating piece with satisfaction. Then remember you still have four hundred and eight-one to go. (sigh...) And a deadline that disagrees more and more strongly with probable completion. Experience from my machinist days, of course. Very different, but still very similar, I'm sure. :)
I see a young Man making a ginger bread house under the supervision of a truely prod Dad .
And the fire place is the work of a true master.
So happy new year to you and your family. Cheers. (:
Thanks, and the same to you!
How can we not applaud such meticulous and creative work?
Thanks !
Not only that you go out of your way to share your plentiful creations and knowledge with us, but you also include a part in your videos when you spend time with your family and loved ones, which I find the most enthralling of all. If there was someone I have learnt from the most, that would be you. Not only craftsmanship, but also good faith and living values. I sincerely appreciate all the things you have done for us so far, thank you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for providing these tires of metal working videos. I've never been that interested in blades, these videos have given me new insight in what I want to craft.
Now I just need to make the time..
It's such a pure pleasure watching the mental image being realized in solid metal when it comes out just as good as you pictured it. I also loved the patient efforts of your children which mirror your example.
У Вас шикарные работы выходят. Это не просто кузнечные изделия - это искусство. 👍
I did think those ugly bolts would be replaced !
Great job !
That's how you make ribbit, really enjoyed your your construction, your Technique, and beautiful final product.
It's lovely to see a father working with his children on a project.
Every age of my children was wonderful, but this age (when they think you can perform miracles) is particularly special and it doesn't last for very long.
Cherish every moment.
Mr. Torbjörn, I get a lot of positive energy watching your work ..... Thanks ..... Happy New Year
Cool, glad to hear that! Thanks
This is art. Thank you for this enjoyable time.
Завораживающее видео ,я восхищён вашим талантом...
Magnifique ! True master and I love the fact that we see the whole process and the special tools that you are using
Thank you very much!
Nice to see your work. It inspires ... and it gives peace. And what is really nice, no iritant music, only workplace sounds.
Thank you!
The skill and attention to detail is a pleasure to watch.
Man, that was much work. But it came out really nice! This thing will last a long long time 👍
I am very impressed as the parts fits absolutely correct. Bravo for this wonderful handwork !
I can watch you do this all day. Beautiful skill.
I love the the beauty of all the process. So relaxing. I really enjoy your videos
Thanks so much!
I am always amazed and inspired by the beautiful projects you create. Every. Single. Time. Watching your videos is something like watching a sunset; always unique, always relaxing, and always enlivening.
Thank you so much!
So good, warms the soul.
Great job, I wish I had as much time to put into personal projects but work gets in the way!
Thanks Gary, yes stuff like this takes time...
@@torbjornahman well worth the effort though😉
Don’t be afraid to start anyway Gary. Let it take time :)
Magnificent artistry! Thank you.
I have the same problem..... work, family and home duties
Design makes a beautiful fire. Great workmanship, lots of work.
Man that was cool. I'm a woodworker who daydreams of being a metal worker. May not happen in this lifetime, but I sure hope there is metalwork in heaven.
Torbjörn the Riveter. 😉
Beautiful work as always, and well worth the wait!
This one was an especially beautiful piece. I love your work, my father and I watch every upload
I wish my fingers were that strong. Wouldn’t expect anything less from a guy named Thunder Bear.
awesome build! went way crazier than i thought at the beginning!
I was so happy to see a big project. That fire basket will be around for your kids, kids to use. That was great to watch. Please make a garden gate for some one that need a gate thanks.
Весьма трудоемкое изделие для DIY, много простых и нудных операций.
Однако итог шикарен, вне всякого сомнения!
Если это доставляет удовольствие , то и не нужно вовсе . К тому же намного лучше штампа или лазера
когда я слышу дий я представляю что то ущербное
Это видео и правда взорвало мозг, показав на сколько можно быть увлечённым в своё дело. Таким мастерам как говорится, респект и уважуха!
@@user-ve6cz9qz8p
Увы, сударь, вы представляете не то.
Речь о созидании руками с домашним набором инструментов в своё удовольствие, без признаков промышленного производства в виде конвейера, разделения труда, технологов, начальников и норм.
Дрова можно было сжечь просто сложив в кучу
Wonderful, thank you for sharing this project. Truly amazing work.
Falo do Brasil. Seus trabalhos são TOP! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉👍🏻
What? You want a forged fire basket? ... sure give me 30min... clearly only something Torbjorn could pull off... just lovely ^^
Beautiful, just beautiful. This project is a superb example of craftsmanship. LOVE IT!
21:38 phew, I thought the ugly bolt s were staying for a minute! 🤣
You're not alone. I was briefly worried about them also, then the beautiful rivets made their appearance.
You must not watch many of his videos. LOL
Greetings from Ukraine! This is not just a product, but a work of art !!!
I love watching your videos and this was such a beautiful work of art! It made me so happy watching you put it together.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful, solid work and meticulous engineering
This was so much fun to watch. Hope you can enjoy many fires around it with your family
I'm sure we will. Thanks!
This is just fantastic.
Me: Wow, that looks... wait... no... he's not leaving the bolts in!?"
Also me: Phew!
Same here.... "He wont use bolts, wont he....?!?!?" "He uses bolts?!?!?! WTH....." "Thaaaaaaank godness, he's making rivets...!!!!" :-)
Same thoughts :D
Фантастическая работа! Браво!
С Рождеством и Новым Годом, друг☺👍👍👍👍👍
Thats gotta be the most beautiful forged item I have ever seen.
Thanks!
I've watched a lot of your projects, this has to be my favorite one.
Thanks!
I so needed this after yesterday's debacle at my country's Capitol. Thank you.
Yep, just what was needed. Something to restore my
faith in Mankind!

The hole world was flabberghasted, stay safe !!!
Our fake news mainstream media's hypocrisy is embarrassing which is why I watch worthwhile, truly educational videos produced by genuinely talented men. Thank you for your time and hard work. It is very much appreciated.
Espectacular maestro. Que trabajo hermoso. Y que Dios bendiga mucho a los niños.
Здравствуйте! Замечательной работой начался Новый год. Моё Вам уважение!
really neat job ...thought for a sec the bolts were permanent ....then you went to the stage of flattering a small seat for the rivets .... shows how much work is needed to produce such a beautiful item ..thanks for posting
I've enjoyed watching you make many things, but I really love this one. Thanks.
Thank you very much!
Really nice piece of (art)-work !!!
Happy new year Thunder Bear !

"Awesome" doesn't even come close. Thank you.
Thanks!
I never consider fast forwarding his videos despite they are generally lengthy. I know he makes quality videos with high level craftsmanship. I appreciate such effort and time consuming projects.
Thanks!!
Marvellous work and unrivalled craftmanship display, worth of the tradition of masters of ancient beauty. Thanks.
Good days when over 80% of the project is Preparation..
:)
and sometimes projects are 80% transpiraton ;)
Hot forging,cold forging and mystical steel cutting techniques. All you could want from a blacksmithing video.
What a lovely piece. Great to see you had time for the kids too, that's so important. Thanks for sharing.
That basket is a thing of beauty!
beautiful bit of workmanship , a joy to watch , top marks , regards to you from the UK
This is an absolutely beautiful piece. I can only hope that one day I’ll be able to pull this off.
Thanks, and good luck!!
I couldn't stop watching. Thank you.
Fantastic video. Thank you for going all out with the rivets.
Love it
Any other man would have been fine with the nuts and bolts but you made homemade rivets for all of them, you absolute mad lad! Subbed for forever.
I'll say it again, the eye is in the detail 👌First class workmanship 👍
Fantastiskt trevlig presentation för att inte tala om design. Tio stjärnor av tio möjliga!!!! Tack Torbjörn!
Fantastically nice presentation not to mention design. Ten stars out of ten possible !!!! Thank you Torbjörn!
Tack tack!!!
I have fallen in love with this fire basket 🥰. Beautiful 😍🙏
Thanks!
A beautiful combination of skill, artistry and magic...
Wow, it might be just 6 different parts, but get it so many exactly the same and getting the whole thing to fit together in the end, now that was some amazing work!!!!
Never thought about using my floor for patterning, that is fantastic
The more videos I watch from you and your work, the most I have to realize that I have to practice a lot! I really admire your work and skills.
Wow... Outstanding craftsmanship, & theatrics. I like the way you cut steel ...over your knee, karate chop, & fingers. I tried it... It didn't turn out so well.
Great video keep them coming.
Best regards in 2021
Thank you very much!
Wow, that is beautiful! A lot of work, but it paid fully out. The rivets are looking really nice. Everything is symmetrical, round and fits together really well. A masterpiece!
Thanks!
Amazing. While staring at the finished piece, I seriously have to remind myself that I just witnessed it being created, from scratch.
Thanks!
Sir, you are a Master Artist, another beautiful piece of work.
Thank you for sharing this video with us all.
Inspirational! I am putting together a small hobby fab/smith shop in my garage, and watching your content is part of the spark that has me motivated to build these skills. This project is fantastic. Thank you.
Great to hear that! Be careful and good luck!
Another outstanding project and I bet it's nice to sit around on a crisp but cold night!
Amazing, I myself am from Russia, and I do such things, but I am far from growing up to your level. Excellent work
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm building my first forge out of an old BBQ this week. This is very inspiring to watch. Beautifully done
Great! Good luck and be careful!
@@torbjornahman thanks man. I will be very careful
