Blacksmithing- Making a cat figurine (from angle iron)

- Who knew angle iron could be used to make different animals!? In this video I make a cat, and a stamp to make the eyes.
About a year ago I saw pictures of steel animals made by Elizaveta Polikashina, and that inspired me to make this one!

Hi Torbjörn. I am Elizaveta Polikashina. I accidentally saw your video and I want to say that I am very pleased to see my name in the description of the video.
The cat turned out great!
Thank you so much! I saw pictures of your animals about a year ago, and they stuck to my mind, and when we got the kittens I thought it would be a great time to try something along the same concept. I think you have balanced the amount of detail perfectly together with simple lines. Less is more so to speak! :) I might have added too much detail but I'm quite pleased anyway.
Hi Elizaveta, Where can we find images of your work?

Thank you Eliz
There is nothing not to love about this video. Great tool making, new kittens that seem right at home plus a great project that brings a smile to a childs face. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much John!!
The skill in making the tail from a piece of angle was awesome .The delight in your daughters face was fabulous.
Thanks!!
Those things are filled with sentiment, and memories. Everyone will remember the time, the kittens, and the happiness that is now and will be with them. That piece of art will go with your child forever, and they will always remember you and the love you had for them....I admire your skill, commitment, and thoughtfulness. It made me shed a tear. We need more of this in today's world! Bless you.
Thank you!!!
I love your attention to detail...the tail bend, the flat spot below the cat nose, matching the finish, the precision of the stamp...all reasons why I watch every one of your videos. Nice to see your kids getting an intro to your craft.
Thank you!
That's the cutest steel cat I've ever seen...
I'm allergic to cats so this one would be perfect for me !!!! adorable blacksmith in training too !!! proud dad moment :)
Yes! Thanks
How did you comment from 1 day ago when the video isnt even 1 day old?

I wouldn't care if I was allergic to cats, I just live with taking antihistimines forever. I love my cats too much to be without them.
Not for the first time I am reminded that blacksmithing, of all the crafts, is a form of magic. Thank you.
Ok, it's a video with Torbjörn's blacksmithing AND kittens, what could go wrong? Instalike for sure 😻😻
Absolutely one of the best video you' ve ever done ! I would call it " emotional blacksmithing ".All my esteem !
Thank you!!
wow another perfect piece of art, and what nice kittens, and a proud father
I don't know when my heart melted the most, getting the kittens, them playing, the hot in your kids' faces, your daughter helping, you giving the steel cat to her... it was all adorable, thank you for sharing this with us!
You are so kind, thanks!
When I read the title I couldn't even imagine how that would go. It turned out awesome ! I love cats ;-)
It's good to get the young ones into the shop. My apprentice is my 6 year old granddaughter. She likes to sweep the floor, paint stuff, and hit things with a hammer. Frequently my fingers. Great work, TA.
Those little kittens are literally the cutest things I've seen in a while!
What a lovely video, a lovely piece, and lovely children/father moments. Such artistry and love. Thank you 🙏
Today we get two projects in one! That's a really nice stamp. The cat is great. I love the family touches you put into your videos. Your children are adorable. You could be training up the next great blacksmith/artist there.
The kiddo’s were such a great addition to this video. Thanks for posting. This is the first of yours I’ve seen. I’m impressed not only by the quality editing and content, but by the wholesome feeling that makes me want to smile after watching it. Keep up the good work!
You are so kind. Thank you!
That was the most touching and special video I have seen and still involved blacksmithing. You sir are a great dad and I hope you're children always remember what a great father they have. God bless
Wow, thank you
That is one of the most beautiful vids I have seen. So loving that you share it with your child. What a beautiful gift.
Absolutely amazing. The kittens are adorable.
Top video once again!
Thanks!
Who needs a power hammer with a help like that? :-D
Your striker showed some impressive skill. A great teacher and Smith.
Glad you showed the safety precautions with hearing protection. Excellent job.
What a lovely ornament and workmanship. I love the way you involve your children.
legit my favourite videos on youtube. always excited when these get uploaded
Wow, thanks!!
👍me too. We know it's going to be a quality build and video and sometimes we get a surprise bonus like the kids.
Как приятно смотреть когда отец учит своё дитя , он вырастит и всю жизнь будет рад чему его научил папа ... счастья вам.👍👍👍👍👍спасибо за вашу работу .
That is a great little project, and I like your ingenuity to hold the stamp quite impressive. But the looks on your children's faces spectacular. It's not hard to see what a loving family you have, blessings to you all.
I could never imagine something so beautiful can be made out of angle iron. Outstanding. Greetins from Argentina
- Папа, хотим котят. - сказали дети.
- Нет проблем! - сказал отец, взял кусок железа, несколько молотков - и пошел в кузницу. :)
Ah yes i understand
Ron Mexico
- Dad, we want kittens. - said the kids
- No problem! - said the father, taking a piece of metal, a couple hammers - and went to the forge. :)
Papa, wir wollen Kätzchen. - sagten die Kinder.
Kein Problem! - sagte der Vater, nahm ein Stück Eisen, ein paar Hämmer - und ging in die Schmiede. :)
@@bmx4free thanks man
7:38 Awww how cute are those kittens ? ? :) Oh that's right, fantastic skills you have Torbjorn, another great video
Certain to become an heirloom. I can imagine your daughter telling her children about it one day. Thank you once again for the inspiring project; now off to my forge!
Just the perfect combination of cuteness and inspiration I needed to start this day! Thank you!
"Everybody wants to be a cat,
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at!" Nicest cat eye punch I ever saw! ;-)
That little angle iron cat is the "cat's meow"...very cute. Gotta make one for a friend who has cats.
Those Kittens just hit the lotto, Long happy lives for those two.
Love that. The Kittens will love venturing out into that nice garden you have, keeping the pests away :)
Well, that might not be entirely true, see the pests you mean are 'mice' (and the occasional bird). We consider them pests because not to long ago our foodstorage methods weren't up to the wits of this species (mainly in regards to grains). But have you ever considered what mice actually eat during the year? From what i could tell from my own garden, they eat a fair number of snails, and the birds obviously eat a lot of insects. So in a sense mice are actually controlling pests, and so are birds, adding in a cat thus reduces pest control. (now obviously if the mice have unlimited food supplies, they will turn into an actual pest, but if you store you foodstuffs well that shouldn't be the case, and thus their numbers will stay limited anyways. Introduce the cats, expect more slugs (and other soft tissue pests) to rise !
)))) Вы Гений мастер ..ваши котики самые лучшие
Сам в очках, ребенок нет! Точно гений!
She will be pleased to see herself in fifty years and remember those emotions ..
Oh My Gosh that is so adorable! I love how he had his daughter help him. That is something that she will always have and cherish because it is form her dad and she helped make it.
Gorgeous work. Making the punch for the eyes was simply fantastic.
He's very cute! The kitty, I mean. But Torbjorn isn't so bad either 😉 haha
Добрый день! Змечательное исполнение! У вас есть способность к творчеству!
子供たちの愛らしさ、猫のかわいらしさ、確かな技術に裏打ちされた力強い鍛冶作業、持ち味の質素で端正、かつ繊細な作品と、スウェーデンの美しい風景が渾然一体となった素晴らしい映像だと思います。
Very nice project. Great eye punch and wonderful happy little girl after a surprise present from her father. Wonderful to watch.
Thanks Tom!
Your children would be proud on their Dad.
Вам не сложно переводить мои комментарии? Как хорошо что сын умеет держать молот. Котята отличные, в России такие же, с похожим поведением. Вероятно кошки везде одинаковые. Железный котёнок выглядит здорово. Вот только сделайте вертикальные зрачки в его глазах.
Дочь)
Это дочка его)
да, - зрачки можно было выбить маленьким зубилом. было бы интереснее и более по кошачьи
)))
It warms my heart to see your children involved in your projects.
Very good to see your daughter getting involved in blacksmithing. We need to see more ladies doing blacksmithing. Keep encouraging her. 👍
I love cats, and that figurine is the cat's meow.
If I were 65 years younger, I'd ask you to adopt me. ☺
Beautiful kittens, the kids seem pretty pleased with them too. A nice simple, yet elegant piece, cat people everywhere would probably like one.
I am so pleased to see this video, not only because of your excellent work, but because your child was helping you in the smithy.
My fondest memories of my father are of the hours and hours we spent in his workshop - almost always in silence. Either I helped him with his projects or we worked together on separate projects. He taught me so many skills. I cherish those memories now that he is gone, and to this day I love watching videos of TH-cam makers - probably because of those hours I spent with my dad. Thank you so very much.
Wow Kirsten, that almost brought a tear to my eye. Thanks
Man, just to warn you... Make or buy a sisal scratching pole before the cats find the sofa.
Beautiful dad - blacksmith job. Your children are adorable too!
I love that there is only the tools sound, no background music, no talking, just, tools sound. Very nice pice, 🐱 my respect for your knowledge, years of working ⚒🙂👍
That was Purrrrrfect!!!! Great video! Lovely seeing the kid involved! Thank you T...
How happy the children look when playing with the kittens .
And the young lady striking was so confident with each hit.
There are 5 cats in my family and they are loved very much
so looks like i will be giving this one a go wish lack.cheers.
Does the heart good to see the young one helping out it does brings back great memories . Happy trails
I'm Sorry but is your life as peaceful as shown in your videos. Watching you work just puts a calmness over me. you make such beautiful pieces no mater how simple or complex they are. then seeing you out in the yard or canning and any of the other wonderful things you do is so nice and calming. thank you for sharing.
Thanks! No, it's probably not the "whole picture"... :)
Awesome work and technique belying the skill involved. The memories we make with our children last a lifetime in both our and our children's memories.
I saw most of your amazing job, but this clip you did an outstanding piece and don’t forget to thank little angel for helping you. God bless you all
Thank you so much!
Beautiful art you made. Thanks for the upload as I enjoyed the process and the result.
it's incredible how much dedication and work is put into just creating a press for the eyes.
When I first saw this pop up, I was: "Awesome, a Torbjörn video, and he is making a cat (I love cats)." And then I start watching it, and you have one of your kids helping in the shop, which is again awesomeness added; and then there are kittens! A fantastic video, full of special moments.
All I am left to wonder is will the kittens grow to become shop cats?
Thank you!
Your videos with your children always make me smile!
Your videos always make the world a better place. Best form of recycling ever! Also nice to see the family involved. Gives them perspective and skills very few people will ever enjoy.
Thank you!
Theres no greater joy than seeing your children smile and there's no doubt yours loved that cat. Good job.
You are amazing, Torbjörn! First you make the punch for the cat eyes and the the cat out of single iron!! That really turned out great! Pretty cool having one of your children helping!! Way to go, dad!! As they say, start them when they’re young! Great video!! I really enjoyed it! 👍👍
A smile on a child's face is worth any amount of work, nice job! I don't like cats, but my daughters do ( my kids are grown up now) , I'll try a couple of these, thanks for the Idea.
That is such a cool piece. Such adorable kittens too. Thanks for sharing.
Best striker in training! And some very cool kitties. The metal one turned out excellent. 👍
I love Torbjörn the blacksmith, I love Torbjörn the artist--but most of all do I love Torbjörn the dad!!! It always brings such warmth and happiness to my heart seeing all 3 in one video! You can make your daughter smile with all of who you are! What love!
Ah thank you Torborn! This is the kind of video that I can just relax and watch without all the craziness of my country.
Fantastic work as always! Great to see your daughter’s reaction...cute! Keep up the good work sir!
WOW! Watching you work metal is like watching a master fly tier tie size 18 dry flies with a magnifying glass...blows me away!
Fantastic work yet again, I never tire of watching you work, adorable kittens and children too, you are a lucky man Torbjorn
Thank you very much!
Ok, so I would never have thought a blacksmithing video would have brought tears to my eyes! The love you have for your children is so beautiful!
Your daughter did an amazing job helping you and as always you produced a work of art, I just knew you were going to give it to her!
Everything about this video warmed my heart! Thanks for sharing this my friend, you made my day!
You are so kind, thank you!
Every course shows sincerity. It looks good all the time.
The making of the Tail was amazing!!! Awesome project all in all.
Looks archaic! Straight from a dig. I love your creations!!!
Every blister, every ache, every lesson from failure, every single hammer blow so profoundly worth those few seconds of utter joy from your daughters reaction and smile. A lesson that the world would do well to relearn. Thank you for the smile Torbjörn.
Thanks!
That ranks up there as one of my favorite things you have made. It has a sophisticated folksy look about it. Nice.
Another masterpiece from the wisdom of the simple. Greetings from Monterrey, NL, Mexico ...
You're good with your hands. It's great to see someone who can make things like this.👍
This is an amazing piece of work, design and video edit. Watched it as i am doing meditation. Hope you a lovely life with your family.
That’s awesome to have a good assistant. Well done!
Nice cat. Nice kittens. And it's always good to see a craftsman take on an apprentice.
A cool little blacksmith, cute cats and great works!
Fanbloodytastic, Sir. Your hammer work, design skills, ideas and production values are exemplary.
You are master of steel. Great to see your work.
bualá ,, as if by magic. Fantastic as always. Cats don't know how lucky you are ...
I am thoroughly impressed......I kept thinking in the beginning, "I don't know what he is making, but that isn't a piece of angle iron", and later thinking, "He makes this project look too easy". Thank you for the excellent video, for there is something great about watching an expert working with superior skill.
Thank you very much!
Excellent blacksmithing work, well done.
Nicely done Sir!!! All of your projects are fascinating to watch...
It’s so nice to see the kids getting into forging. 👍👍⚒🔥
You're a beautiful person Torb, and wonderful father by the looks of it. Keep up the great vids.
Lovely work, lovely kids, lovely cats! Great video as ever!
I smiled through the whole thing! Adorable! Thank you for sharing.
Your videos are an example to all TH-camrs- beautiful camerawork to show exactly what you are doing, no unnecessary commentary and no intrusive 'music' ! You are also a fine blacksmith, with an artistic side.
Wow, thank you!
Awesome, the look on your daughters face was priceless 😍
