I’m a geologist in the US. This type of hammer in the US is called a Masons Hammer and I have found this to be a much more useful shape to use in exploring rocks than a rock hammer. The downside of yours is that it’s beautiful and I wouldn’t want to mess it up. Amazing work.
Ah, nice! I used to pick mineral samples at old mines here in Sweden. I think a ordinary geologist hammer is harder and this one would probably wear quite fast.
One of my absolute favorite parts of all your videos is that once the tool is finished you always show us how it's used. It's so satisfying seeing a thing be made, and then utilized for its intended purpose.
@@chrisis9030 what? Idk what you're talking about man. I just clicked on a mukbang video and wanted to compliment the charming Swedish man who went through all that effort.
Good craft is an art. It took some time, but my dad's yelling "put that hammer back from where you took it after you finish!" payed off. Maybe it takes a bit longer to focus on details, but shortcuts usually takes twice as much time 😆 With a pretty and handy tool, work is much more satisfying. At the end, if you can show your work and be proud of it (or at least if you can say "it's my creation" without a shame), it means you put a bit of heart in that. And if someone else works on your machine or with your tools, they can sense this. Very often i can see if someone putting a machine together cared, or just wanted to make his/hers job done and forget about it. If i see wires in the electrical cabinet neatly put in cable trays, if connectors are crimped nicely, i can bet this cabinet will have much higher chance of functioning properly for many years, because someone who made it, simply cared about work. And this makes my job easier when I'm searching for a problem.🙂
45 seconds into this video and I subscribed. Why? Two reasons: You're dramatic (which I love) and you showed how to start a coal fire. I hit the bell because you're NOT a blacksmith, you're an artist of metal.
@@tbrowniscool Absolutely, I'm an experienced woodworker and I've made and fitted what seems like a hundred hammer handles over the years and I still learned a couple of little tricks from him. Thank you for sharing your skills Torbjorn, my life is richer for it!
@@torbjornahman Your videos are so relaxing. I'm going through a bad time right no and I get so much relaxation watching you work. Have you ever forged an axe head before?

As I watch you make pieces like this I often muse "How many generations of the Ahman family will use this hammer and think of the man who made it and the wonderful craftmanship that went into it." You not only make beautiful tools you make legacies that will outlive you !
I really liked the synergy between you and your cat. Such tenderness and mutual trust. Combined with the brute force of the blacksmith's trade, that's kind of unusual.
I'd SMILE every time I put my hand on that tool! It's simply georgeous, and a fine & wonderful thing! Thanks for the pleasing video too, w/your cat & your bird feeder !
I knew this was coming! A hammer to help with the masonry work for the building that will Hold the flax mill and looms so that you can go into full production of striped blacksmiths tunics which you can wear when making a hammer for the bricks etc…Finally it comes full circle. 🙏🏻💕😜
Forgot how relaxing it ts watching you create a beautiful tool with excellent videography. Almost perfect symmetry and balance with a beautiful piece of ash custom fit!! Made my Day Torbjorn, Thank You for all you bring to the community!!
I laid brick for 30 years. I still play with it a little, helping my nephew with the occasional fireplace. I love the video. It looks like a great hammer. I always prefered the wooden handled hammers. They are much easier on the thumb when you miss your mark and catch the thumb between the brick and the handle.
When I was a boy we had an older gentleman that lived across the road from us that was a brick mason. My dad had him build a large brick area in which to plant bushes. I watched him build it of course. He was more of an artist than craftsman. The end of your video reminded me of days gone by.
This is a great build, start to finish. I'm not as talented, but I'm going to try to do this project at the blacksmiths forge next week. I'll show this video to the instructor so he can guide me.
I always enjoy seeing your videos when they come up. All too often in this arena people make a video more about themselves than the subject at hand. You sir have truly nailed it!
This made me so happy to see because I am a mason. And this is what I have inspirations on starting making brick hammers and chisels . Hopefully some of the guys at work will buy some ! 😊 Thank you 🙏
I started my years in Masonry as a brick and stone pointer, taught by my father. I know the value of a brick hammer . I was able to cut a terra cotta flue pipe with one, to length that is. A wonderful thing you made.
I love hammers. I have a collection of hammers. I've made several little ones. I would love to smith some hammers, but I suck at forging, and never seem to have enough time in the day to work on it. I would work at night once it's cool, but it's really loud... Maybe I can finally make a stand for my forge soon, so I don't have to kneel when i work... that and chaining my anvil down to a stump.
Hermoso trabajo, me encanta mirar sus videos. Muchas gracias por compartir todas sus creaciones. Otra cosa, adoro su gato. Cordial saludo desde Montevideo, Uruguay. Beautiful work, I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all your creations. Another thing, I adore your cat. Cordial greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay.
Everything you do becomes a work of art! I really love, what I saw as a Swedish flag at the top of the hammer, but I guess some/most people may just say it's a cross and a smart way to secure the hammer to the handle, but to me it was an obvious flag AND a beautiful way to secure the hammer + handle :) I may just be homesick, even though I'm only in the country "next door" (Norway). Your videos bring so much joy! Thank you for that.
Who would have thought a "Brick Hammer" could be a work of art? One made by Thunder Bear Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
Lovely work. As a metallurgist, I appreciate your steel grade selection and identification. 4340 is legendary for its deep hardening qualities. As a 4XXX grade containing molybdenum, it's also free-scaling, apparent in your video. The tendency for imbedded forging scale is greatly reduced.
Cool, thank you! It doesn't get extremely hard, but it's very tough in my limited experience! BTW I looked at the specs, and it said something about temper embrittlement, and that you should avoid any temper between 250-400C... not sure what that was about? I asked a few pretty experienced people, and they never heard about that...

I was gona comment that it’s good for geology too.
This is would be good for soft rocks only. For hard rocks, you really need a traditional geologist's hammer.
@@tednelson5277 True, the needle nose
@@torbjornahman can't you temper 4340 for higher hardness?

Totally agree
Love the fact your tools are always so aesthetic yet functional.
It clearly demonstrates you're an artist as well as a craftsman

That's what you call a "Tool For Life" . As someone who has trained in metalworking (5 years apprenticeship) I can appreciate your art/craftsmanship.

Im glad that Maryland finally made it on your cabinet. I am a Marylander

I love seeing you turn a piece of metal into a handy tool.
Beautiful piece of kit
What a beautiful and functional hammer
Love that black and decker palm sander , had mine for years, great little tool
Your work is amazing. This one was saving my day. No talking only working. Because this you have the best channel ever !
Great video, as always. takes me back to blacksmithing school...wow...20 years ago this year
I'm a bricklayer by trade myself and that looks like a 5 star working tool
Thank you!
That's some fine art right there.👍👍👍

Like all metal work, the never ending cycle of making round things square, and square things round. Beautiful work as usual! 👍 😃
Ha ha, exactly, and for that matter finding the right tongs... the endless struggle.
Really nice work. I especially enjoyed the segment on the handle. Thanks!
Great! Thanks

Id be afraid to use it it’s so nice. Those chamfers are a work of art
Your good at that ,thanks for posting

Very well done!
some gorgeous bevels! and thank you for saving me a google search to learn what a brick hammer is and does!
:) Thanks
First time I was brought to your channel and happy to find it!
Cool, thanks!!
SPECTACULAR !
i don't even do brick work , but i want one . 👍👍👍
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your forging or your wood work , both are amazing 👍
Beautiful tool 🤩 When hammering on stones, always hold the stone in the palm without putting your thumb on top and in danger😬
What a treat to watch!
