Blacksmithing - Making a pair of scissors

- Today I show how I forge a pair of basic scissors from a piece of old coil spring. A quite rewarding project as the end product turns out to be a very useful tool!! Also included is a segment of me and my son finishing up a charging station for the household electronics...all designed by him and me as a helping hand :)

When you see them cutting jeans like butter, you gotta know and admit that they are some dang impressive pair of scissors.
do you spread your butter over your toast with scissors?
Damon K in mother Russia butter spreads toast over scissors
But also there is a fashion going around if worthless easy shredding denim known as paper denim and its trash to wear , the real test would be bones and meat
@@TheNomad2727 I would with scissors like these.
@lioness of lechistan Unrealistic? Kitchen shears?
Seeing you at the very end looking around your greenhouse for things to snip. After such an involved project, I’d be the very same!
Complete with the snipping hand motion as well lol
This is the first time I've ever said,
"Damn, i need to buy a pair of scissors like that."
Hannibal Lecter you can get a crappy version at Harbor Freight, and at some Asian grocery stores but nice Japanese shears can come at a premium
Bro there's some Bonsai scissors that cost like 20k I think, great craftsmanship I guess
@@Thalor Time to get into bonsai-ing then lol
This makes me want to learn blacksmithing,,
If you feel like it then try and see if you like it
Me too
Me too man, me too
Videos like Torbjörns got me in to blacksmithing :) and soon (if i get accepted to the school) I will study blacksmithing
Please don’t stop making these videos. The vice trick? Absolutely brilliant
This channel has inspired me to persue an interest in blacksmithing and this man is a absolute legend in my book!!
Thanks Dan!!
Go for it Dan! I hope and encourage you to develop a passion for blacksmithing. Taking on and learning an old time skill is so rewarding, from an Aussie saddlemaker.
This is beautiful. I'm addicted to watching artists create on TH-cam- What a time to be alive, watching people work like this!
qàà1
Antonia, Aussie saddlemaker here. I encourage you to take up and learn an old time skill of your own choosing. It is so rewarding.
When he heard the rain that was the face and the body motion of "what in tarnation'
The most difficult stage in the scissors industry is straight balancing ..... excellent work
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
Very impressive! The sharpest scissors I've ever seen made by hand from a coil spring!!! You are a master craftsman!!!
How many other sharp scissors made by hand from a coil spring have you seen in general to make such a statement?
@@vraspus
Separate the two statements.
The sharpest scissors I've ever seen | made by hand from a coil spring.
He's effectively saying, "(How unexpected!) The sharpest scissors I've ever seen (have been) made by hand from a coil spring!!! (This shows that you are very proficient at your craft!)"
Minecraft never lied. Blacksmiths are pretty awesome people and with a anvil, tools can last forever.
Pebble Or the tools can be reforged when they break.
My grandpa was a blacksmith and he died before I was born. Seeing a blacksmith create something is so incredibly fascinating; I can't help but wonder what my grandfather forged back then.
9:01 At this point I would forget how hot it was and pick it up with my bare hand...seriously
Very nice results btw!
Me too lol
Exactly what I was thinking, like you drop it on the floor, would be so tempted to just pick it up with bare hands...
You would only do that once....
@@pfadiva unfortunately I've done that a couple of times, not fun.
Finally, someone made a pair of scissors! Great job and great work on the video
You live a beautiful life, Torbjorn. Makes me so happy to see you being creative with your son. Who knows what he might make someday
I gotta admit, that was really cool to watch. And the cutting ability was really impressive. Thouroly enjoyed it.
I can appreciate the level of difficulty with this project and you have executed this creation with Swiss Watch precision. Outstanding Torbjorn, very well done. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you!
Very kind! Thank you!
Look at me old coil spring, you are going to become a brand new pair of scissors !
Always impressed by your work, would love to be able to do the same
:) Thanks!
Me to im jelous
i just cried watching hima nd his son paint it is 4 am i have lost my mind
ok mood
we r the same person
When you were first cutting the paper I thought it was very impressive. Then when you cut the jeans like they were tissue paper I was blown away! Well done!
You always have the best blacksmithing videos.
He has the best videos full stop.
I agree. I earlier made a general comment to the affect that this embodies myself and my family’s viewing preferences exclusively. Nothing else does that. Great comment!
Deceptively simple and beautiful, as always.
Just a young welder and fabricator, admiring those blacksmithing skills!
The difference between quality and cheap garbage is incredible. Definitely a high quality piece of art. I turn pens for a hobby, so I appreciate the hours and hours of work that goes into each piece. Excellent job, my friend!
Cool, thank you!
Love your videos all stuff and no fluff. Admire your talent, persistence, and patience, and it takes all 3! Thank you.
Не перестаёт удивлять! Истинно творческий подход, и мастер своего дела! Браво! Спасибо за предоставленное удовольствие от увиденного!!! Успехов, и крепкого здоровья!
Beautiful piece of work. My grandma used to have a similar pair of scissors. Love ur level of accuracy with basic (and old-timer) tools.
I love how you let your son help with some of the stuff you make . and also in this video the little 'side project' with the phones.
People always say 'the art of Blacksmithing', I, and my family always refer to it as the 'Art and Science of Blacksmithing' - this would be an excellent example. Wonderful. Bravo! (PS I loved your son's project, need to inspire mine lot a little more I think :-) ).
Right!! That's great, thanks!
It's a brave man who hammers on hardened spring steel, even if it has been tempered back!! Your videos are an inspiration
Mark Nickerson Can I ask why?
everyone else out here shook at his gorgeous blacksmithing and I'm just there like "that is one good white pencil"
It was chalk 😂😂😂
@@cam6532 nope that's a soap stone pencil
@@user-ee9cz6mc1x 👀 oooooo
These will last several lifetimes... we need to do away with this idea of buying something cheap and throwing it away as buying another is cheaper... I know there are people out there who would pay for this kind of stuff and know that it would last or at least could be repaired / sharpened rather than thrown away into landfill. Great work :)
Exactly right! I’ve started building furniture out of reclaimed wood for people. I don’t want to build a kitchen table for you.....I want to build it for you, your children, your grandchildren. That’s the level of craftsmanship you’re watching here.
Hi Torbjorn, fantastic piece of craftmanship showing great detail and emphasis on getting the blades just right. Love the "interlude" with Junior making the charging stand. Great video and a pleasure watching.
That is just amazing! The level of skill involved in making a pair of functional AND beautiful scissors by hand is really impressive! Are you sure, you're not some kind of wizard?
Torb, you are a beautiful soul in whose parents must take great pride. You are far more than a technical blacksmith. I and many appreciate the long hours required to design, stage, record, edit an share your excellent videos. You are a treasure and I hope you continue posting on You Tube for as long as you remain inspired and you do so in excellent health. Thank you for the privilege of "working along side" in your shop. From a long time subscriber in North Idaho, USA.
Thanks Peter!
You are a perfect craftsman, you are a true artist. You have the original ideas that you execute with elegance. I admire you how much you like to model wood, iron, but also how much you like flowers and beautiful.
Congratulations, bravo, and further success.
Awesome job! I think it's awesome you put in that bit of you and your boy working on a project together.
Left handed crafting well done making a cell phone and tablet organizer. The scissors are elegant.
your skills and repeatability are impressive mate, thanks for taking us through the process.
11:27 glad I'm not the only one that does that little lunge when grinding small parts.
I was thinking a small magnetic vise would be good in that situation.
Beautiful work, functional art. It's always a pleasure to hear the lullaby your hammer sings and the story it tells. Thank you!
Great work! Love the little side project with your son!
Watching this reveals truly how much of an art smithing is. You can go from using a power hammer slamming the billet, all the way to deliCTe dinks to make the curl. It’s truly beautiful
Thanks!!
Watching you working was a real pleasure. The result is a master piece! I wish I had one of my own!
Awesome as usual. Fun to se that your son likes building things to!
That is a great looking pair of scissors, I really like the handle style. And I enjoyed your son's craft project, love seeing father and son working on a project. Memories are made of those moments.
Thanks Dan!
This is a lost art!!! As a beginner blacksmith to see everything come together perfectly!! Everything meeting, matching and from the looks.... Damn sharp!! Beautiful work i will try to watch more video. As a 44 year old, single, disabled father of two ,5&9, year old young men these are the types of skills im passing on. Some of these videos folks just like to hear themselves talk?!?! Very informative video without the extra bs. From a beginner without allot of time for bs.... Thx!!
Thanks Scott! Good luck with the kids!
Master of his craft! You reached Japanese level of scissor making.
Amazing work!
Learned a few things thanks to this video. I should be able to improve some of my embroidery scisors that were getting problematic from use thanks to it thanks you.
Amazing result and very satisfying process to get there.
I love your work....When I get in my forge of which is a shed with little venting..so my forage is outside of doorway...my problems is often bburning my project up and blisters from over heating....Also I don't have your skill with your hammer.
At age 67 just started near first of last year....but I try to stay safe and loving the black smithing and so of the rewards....mostly building my folks garden tools.
I have "invented" a weeding tool everyone who try it loves it.
Thank you are "Tthe Master Black Smith "....I say you are the best Sir.
Thank you John! That's great!
I remember seeing a similar process for crafting scissors in India in the 1990s, the blades were made from old worn out hi carbon steel hand files with handles made from cast brass and riveted to the blades. I purchased about a dozen of various sizes and still have and use them. This is a fantastic video, keep up your good work Mr Torbjorn.
Cool, thanks!
Awsome artwork ! 😁
Now I Need! Handmade scissors and hole punches in my life.
Well done.
I need to make some like these!! Definitely heirloom quality just like everything else you make
This is KEWL !!! And, you're right...it IS nerve wracking when you're putting the blade curve in for shear-action, because of the fact...the blade is SO HARD, its brittle and the least bit past the strength ledge, the blade will SNAP! I like the you LOVE the steel. Being gentle and taking your time to coax the metal into what's in your mind's eye! Beautiful! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your tallent!
:) Thank you Mr Lee!!
Binge watching your videos during insomnia.. Not too loud for the rest of the sleeping house and strangely relaxing! Beautiful
What an involved process. They look great. Nice.
I have a pair of hand forged scissors, standard pattern, from a small cutler's in Sheffield, UK. Expensive.
Whatever you make, its a work of art. Even a common thing like a pair of scissors.
What a skill let’s hope this art never disappears
Its amazing to watch you work metal. Those scissors are ridiculously sharp. Top notch quality. Waiting for the next great project!
Beautiful scissors! I always enjoy watching your work, seeing them in action was very satisfying.
wow! this is the real work... not just like so many others on yt that use only machines..
work of art, skilfully crafted, humbly and quietly presented! Torbjörn!
Your attention to detail is incredible! Not only are these scissors exceptionally effective, but they also look lovely. Great job!
Your workmanship is admirable... you are great
Как всегда. Вижу этого дядьку, ставлю палец. Спасибо за видео, всегда жду, очень вдохновляет то терпение с которым ты всё делаеш. Мне приходится делать всё не скорость и количество изделий, и такая спешка влияет на работы которые действительно нужно сделать качественно. После просмотра я чувствую некоторое спокойствие, а это действительно важно для кузнеца. Спасибо.
Ага
I disagree. (I think)
The man made his own washers and it looked absolutely amazing to watch seriously I could watch that all day
That was so neat. I loved watching the metal take a new and useful shape. Well done.
WOW, I've never had scissors so sharp and hardened like that pair.
23:50 me being a total freak psicho "I NEED TO CUT SOMETHING" best days in my life
Very impressive! So good-looking and so functional. A work of sheer beauty and SHEAR beauty!
Always good to see father and son projects come to fruition!
Love these vids man you are the real deal , love how you don't speak either it's just fun to watch and peaceful !!!!

lol I clicked LIKE on your comment before on the video ............. :^)
You do a fantastic job and i love the shots in the middle of the videos. It really brings out the beauty of spending time with kids and or nature. Keep being awesome!!!
You are a true artist my friend. I pray you have an apprentice that is learning your skills. Just too important to not pass on your knowledge. Wonderful work!
Beautiful work as always!
That's some quality work and very sharp cuts like a knife thru butter
Thanks! Yes it works very well!
I like the idea behind that charging station!
The scissors are good too!
My respects to you Torbjorn! Excellent artist and Dad! Thanks
Wow I love the design. The scissors look beautiful
Thanks!

Best Blacksmith of Sweden
Good Job and Father
And no aneeling in the Owen 😎😀
Thanks an cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
For sure! I loved the intermission part, the phone/tablet charger stand. Very sweet and charming. Was going to say maybe you've adopted some of the Jimmy Deresta videography techniques? That's a GOOD thing, I love the non-narrated shop videos, it almost feels like I'm in my shop working with nobody to have to talk to.
This is beautiful. Nicely made. Thank you for uploading this video.
Skilled and artful work. Restores my faith.
Beautiful work and of course they perform perfectly!
When you were hammering the curve into the blades I was wondering how nerve wracking it must have been...then your note showed at the bottom of the screen!
amazing , I really like the design🖤
First, you're a great dad!
Very impressive! I have been wanting to make a pair of scissors. Thanks for the careful tutorial.
Awesome Craftsmanship and video thanks for posting without any music edited in i loved the sounds of the hammer hitting the metal and how you work. The parts on the anvil.
YOU have amazing skills you all so make it look so easy thank you for sharing
Sir, you are a genius - what a masterpiece!
As always a beautiful and functional project
Keep up the good work man
I will NEVER unsub from this channel
Stunning! A piece of coil spring into a functional piece of art.
I laughed when you went on the hunt for stuff to cut after you were done 😆
Craftsman. When I saw you making scissors, I remembered the scissors that my mother often used.
Great, thanks!
Beautiful piece of work, very thorough, thanks for the lesson!
Absolutely beautiful and functional piece of work and masterfully done. Thanks for sharing; enjoyed watching as always. You are an inspiration to the world of 'smithing.
Es un deleite ver tus videos: desde la propia actividad que realizas hasta los en cuadres de la cámara y los clips de descanso que les agregas. Felicidades
Good work friend!
Thanks!
Торбьëрн - настоящий мастер! Благословенно Богом, что есть люди, хранящие старинное мастерство! 🙌🙏
Fantastic. I like the design and the simplicity. Those shears should last several lifetimes.
