Blacksmithing - Forging a bell
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- Today I show how I make a bell inspired by bells made by Uri Hofi. Quite simple and not very scientific when it comes to sound... I made three of these and the first two that I didn't capture on video both sounded better than this one, so it's a bit of hit an miss... The geometry is probably really important and that both halves are tuned together for better resonance. Anyway a fun project.

LOL :)
I liked the juxtaposition of the ancient craft of forging to the ultra-modern lawn-mowing robot!
Love the pitch and resonance of the bell. And the lawn robot was a nice touch as well as the garden "fly-through".
You never fail to impress. You are among my favorite here on youtube for overall quality of both blacksmithing and videography. Thank you!
Thank you!!
Very cool vid. I've never seen a bell like this. Glad to see the hole punched not drilled and the clapper forged not fabricated!
Thanks Jeff!
This channel is just amazing. The product has a soul a very talented Thunder Bear made this from hot steel and a hammer. The most amazing part is the precision that you have with a hammer. I just enjoy watching watching not only the backsmithing but the total care put into everything.
Thank you so much Chuck!!

Pretty job. You always use boiled linseed oil, is there any reason why? When I was at school the metalwork teacher usually went for dirty engine oil to give the steel a semi weather-proof blue finish. May I suggest that when you produce these videos you them a difficulty rating. Your anvil really is a credit to you, simple measures to prevent unnecessary damage. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Linseed oil is nice to work with, natural and smells good!
Very nice project! Your skills are well established at this point, so it's good to see some more of your personality in your videos. The calm nature of your videos and your personality really makes for a very enjoyable time watching!
Thank you Thomas!!
Not to throw us all back a few hundred years but life would be so much more meaningful if we all used objects made by hand like this. Bring it back!
You are a great artist and your photography of flowers proves that you are an artist. Thank you, I liked your work
i like this person.
without talking, a lot of work.
Language that is easily understood by all nations of the world.
Greetings from Bontang-East Kalimantan-Indonesia
Thank you very much!!!
@@torbjornahman keep creative and always sharing. This world needs people who inspire, like you.
Excelente, muy buena estética de la campana, original.
La forja de primera, felicitaciones.
Sono incantato da tanta maestria. Perfetto dominio del fuoco e della mano..... BRAVO
Excellent work. Your channel, your shop, your work, your family, your homestead honors our ancestors. You are an example for us all.
So very kind! Thank you!
Really lovely job on that Thunderbear, what a lush garden too! Laughed out loud when you took a flight through the flowers! Good job!
He he, thanks! Should have added some swooshing sound fx and possibly star wars music...
vous faites toujours de telles œuvres artistiques, cette cloche est le design le plus inhabituel que j’ai vu à ce jour, le plus impressionnant comme toujours M. Ahman.
I expect the temper to make a reasonable difference to the tone of the bell. It certainly does with bronze bells and cymbals.
10000 % man right here I'm adopting your plant planting after every successful and unsuccessful forging or woodworking etc
Beautiful from start to finish and everything in between.
Some of the finest production I've ever seen
Thank you for a most enjoyably satisfying 20 mins of my day
Thanks Tommy!

New to your channel about 3 weeks ago and very slowly I'm working thru your archive, one at a time (sometimes over again before the next) like savoring the mashed potatoes and gravy part of my meal... being careful not to binge and miss out on the full flavor.
It's not the place But the journey... it's not the finished piece but the tap tap tap in between with the beauty being rooted in the process - watching how you think... so easily that comes across
Each and every piece emanates some bit of soul as well the videos do themselves.
You are leaving a fine library of work not just for your viewers but for your children and someday theirs as well.
Fortune be to those friends and loved ones with you in their life
@@tommypetraglia4688 Very kind, thank you!!
Here's a cool project I did recently. Look up Skyrim horn candle. Or better yet play the game. I made a wall one from a water buffalo horn and forging a loop and wall mount. I also got a live flame light bulb and a wall socket with cord so I could plug it in. I can send you a picture in email or however other methods if you would like. It is very nice and a relaxing thing to have in like a room or shop or something. XX
The garden scene turned surreal. I felt as though I was watching a scene from Star Wars or another sci fi film. Colonist guy on another planet out checking his crops as a robot trundles by tending to the more mundane task of trimming the verge! The mix of your old world knowledge and skills mingling with the use of advanced technology, performing a menial chore, is kind of a minor mind blow! I love your videos.
:) Thanks T B !
I don't see how anyone can give you a thumbs down. Another great video and the bell sounded good. I enjoy watching you make things.
You make it look so effortless, in blacksmithing and your grounds
I just wonder who the hell watches this video and unlikes it? I dont know any blacksmith that would dislike this, and if youre not into blacksmithing why are you here to dislike it in the first place?
As always, watching the process is a delight, and the finished product is beautiful.
Beautifully done as always.
Your flowers are beautiful as well.
The sound of metal is so pretty, and I love your garden
It strikes me (See what I did there?) that a major skill in smithing is understanding the volume of metal you are working with. At an academic level I get that the volume is easily determined mathematically, but to have the sense of how much metal to leave on that bar on either side of the clanger, so that it can be drawn out without any waste is pretty amazing to me.
Thanks, yes you get a feel for it after a while. It's surprising sometimes how little it takes to draw something small out.
Just what you needed! Now, MORE COWBELL!
Loved that episode on SNL. Epic
*Oh the times have come.*
Beautiful forging and a robot lawnmower in the same video!? Pure genius.
Love the gardening break. It's a nice contrast to the forging, but also creating.
Mr Thunderbear, I only recently found this channel and have been marathon watching as time allows. Please allow me to say the thing that most impresses me is your materials management skills. Unlike countless others I have watched you don't forge a huge billet of material and spend forever grinding over half of it away as waste.
Great, thank you!
Nice sound, great job, wonderful flowers
Wow what a beautiful and simple bell
I would find it interesting to see you make one out of a steel and hardening one side, would it make a difference? Or just making a small bell and have a before and after video after hardening to hear the difference in sound. Anyway thanks for the video, always enjoy them!
What kickass badass garden you have. Last time tried to grow something i got arrested. Judge have 50 hours of free labor. At my own church. But my preacher friend just had me work two hours and signed me 50 hours. Lol.
All for a bell over his garden. This guy is a true kickass badass man of men.
Aside from your skill, your choice of interests are reasons for enjoying your posts.
It must say something about the person who can make such a functional item into artwork,thanks for posting!
You are a wonderful craftsman and it's very soothing to watch you work, thank you
Beautiful flower bushes Sir. Also enjoyed watching the process of how to forge a bell.
Alec Steele has got a competitor
Nice job👍
A. S. Can’t hold a candle to this true craftsman.
what a man , an artist , I ENJOYED it very much , understood many things , never bored .thanks .
Beautiful garden and a great project, thanks for sharing
Artfully forged, creatively documented. Another "saved" video in my growing TA archive.
One can clearly hear 2 different sounds from this bell. In my opinion this is because it is composed of 3 "tuning forks". The main tuning fork makes the two scales vibrating towards and away from each other and gives the low frequency one can hear. Both scales do vibrate themselves as they are also shaped like a tuning fork (could be tested by damping one scale by holding it in hand and hitting the other one) and this gives the high frequency. By slightly reshaping the bell, such that the high frequencies become a perfect overtone of the low frequency, the bell would sound probably more harmonious???
Yes, there is a lot to play around with for a better tone if you like!
what I wouldn't give to have a shop like yours... I am working on it. It may take a while haha. Hopefully I can make things well enough in the near future I can start turning some real profit. But I am happy to see that I am definitely making SOME money right now, and best of all, people are appreciating my work. I wanna try my hand at this style bell in the near future! Great build!
Cool, good luck!!
@@torbjornahman Thanks! I appreciate your channel greatly!
I love watching you work
New word: “hm” means the damn plug didn’t shear. Great bell... and good bow tie! Excellent Thunder Bear!
No it means you didn't align the punch. It was off by at least 1,8°... :) Perfection.... Thanks!!!
Why is it so pleasing to watch someone hammering hot metal? :D
I had to add two tons of compost to my garden beds to get them to look like your soil did BEFORE you amended it. Some people have all the luck!
I like the "flyover" over the flowers. It's the little things like that why I love your channel. Awesome bell
:) Thank you !!
Thank you for your channel and for showing it to people. Very interesting video, looking forward to new. Best regards from Russia.🤝
Another beautiful functioning work of art.. well done!
la verdad me encantan ver esos tipos de videos muy buenos y el que lo realiza un verdadero maestro
No te lo discuto,si tu dices que es una campana,pues campana es,sónar suena muy bien,es muy original y fuera de lo común,muy buen trabajo,tienes el campo precioso,muchas plantas,no se mueren en el duro invierno que tenéis?,un saludo y por supuesto un like desde Naron(Galicia)
That has to be the most clever bell I’ve ever seen on YT.
this was so fun to see
you have a beatiful garden
Un maestro, siempre un gusto ver tu trabajo, tu arte.- Saludos desde Uruguay - Sud América
Very nice Torbjorn!!!! Never thought about one being made that way
Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up
Waw it has 2 notes.. one quick high pitch, the other a prolonged deep hum. Never heard such a bell. Very cool!
Dude, you are amazing!! Forging, gardening, joking... thats a good lifestyle!
Thanks!
Very unique design of a bell, made to perfection.
Great detailing by the good craftsman !!!
And the bell sounds soo sweet!!
could you try and do a blacksmithing - forging a cauldron? i love witch's cauldrons and i would love to see how they are forged
My grandfather had a philosophy. Love what you do and do what you love and you'll be content. I see that in your videos.
Your hand hammering is even musical in this video!
С большим удовольствием посмотрел видеоролик! Узнал много нового для себя такого, что пригодится в будущем. Это замечательно, что кроме мастерской работы с металлом, Вы прекрасный садовник, любите природу и бережное относитесь к ней. Таким людям принадлежит будущее и наша планета Земля.
Thank you!
Chief Thunder Bear has done it again! Another amazing creation.
:) Thanks Malcolm!
Love your perfect symmetry
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you!
I like your starting off with a growl, Thor BEAR! Love your style as well!
Техника ковки очень чистая,отлично! Результат понравился.
Очень жду видео о ковке большого ножа для леса,типа леуку.
Зы
Цветы тоже хороши!
Exquisite blacksmithing - a joy to watch!
The true sign of an expert blacksmith, let’s the hammer dance between moves.
Very nice Bell. You are a good gardener too!!
Yeahhh, always use the Legendary boiled linseed oil. 😂
And here I thought you mowed the lawn with a scythe... robotic lawnmower. Busted. Skämt åsido, jävligt kul videos att titta på.
:) Tack
Хорошо закалить металл и будет дольше звенеть. Звук станет громче, звонче.
Yes, but this is mild steel only
@@torbjornahman In the case of quenched in water? Hardening steel 0.4% carbon daily.
To bury at night in a metal hot box with charcoal? Carbonization.
The fact that more sonorous, melodic, pleasant sound than a deaf rumble.
In any case, thanks for the video. It was informative to see a new kind of bell.
The robot mower is back!
Mr Blacksmith, you have made yet again, another very enjoyable video. Your shop is wonderful, the landscape of your home is beautiful and your craftsmanship is ever improving. I enjoyed the video very much and the boiled linseed oil at the end had given me a small laugh. It is a very good quality that one would have in them to make content which is so simple yet astoundingly good hearted. I enjoy your channel because it is one place where Good is and where there is only relaxation.
My thanks and cheers to you, i look forward to the next video.
That's very kind, thank you!!!
I absolutely LOVE that. Thanks from Mississippi!
Striking skill executed deftly with humor and great video production. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another OUTSTANDING video! much appreciated.
Decent and quiet Form. Very nice design for a Bell.
we like that bell it has a rich tone
Hey Thunder Bear it's amazing watching you worK and I like your Garden
"Boiled Linseed Oil: The Return"
Interesting bell design! Sievi shoes spotted. Torilla tavataan.
Your garden and yard is beautiful! Oh and the bell came out cool too! 😂
a very skilful display of your art. You inspire! Enjoyable video.
Power hammers make everything look so easy!
Only when the smith has the *SKILL* to make it look easy... as Torbjörn surely does. But then again, he makes *EVERYTHING* look easy.
@@BrianDaleNeeley Almost what I was fixin' to say, talent goes a long way no matter what tools you're using.
Very beautiful design, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
Forging
Robotic mowing
And Azelias 101 in one video. Now I really feel lazy. Awesome forging skills
At the end, this is the sound of a man who wants a beer 🍺 😜👍
You could have thinned one side out more to make it dual tone. Polyphonics!
Yes!
You are a blessed man .
You are a good man. Thank you.
Nice video, Torbjörn.
It has become a beautiful bell.
That clapper... amazing work.
And here I thought you were making a door pull for the new shop door, lol. I love the bell and watching you go through the process of shaping. You are a very multi-talented person. PS. that is the largest and nicest anvil I have ever seen. That must have cost you a lot.
:) Thanks. I was fortunate to find that anvil at a good price.
Forging is nice, but for a bell better use cast brass for better tones.
