- Watch me make a brick hammer from scratch. A somewhat challenging project as I tried to match a given weight and size. It turned out ok I think.

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.
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?
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.
Thanks!!
It's in the title. It's a brick hammer.
@@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.
@@theoptimisticmetalhead7787 Yeah, I thought as much
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
Thank you!
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.🙂
He's also that rarest of things - a metal worker who can do woodwork!
@@paulwomack5866 Oooo sorry, a good blacksmith should always know how to haft his tools. And he is a good one 😁

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.
I'm forever in awe at how clean your work is at every stage of the build, it's a joy to watch you in action Torbjorn!
He is a true master of his craft, and amazing filming/editing skills!
@@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!
Wow, thank you so much Pablo.
@@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?
@@tbrowniscool Glad if I can help! Here are a couple:

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.
:) Thank you!
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 !
That hammer is a master piece! It was amazing!! 😊❤
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!!
PJ you always spoil me with your kind words! Thank you!
Another great build . Head to my shop now. Mine wont turn out as nice, but it will be functional. Lol keep the videos coming
Great! Thanks
Finished like a high end Swiss watch. Beautiful!
Its not too much of a stretch to say you do the best work on youtube!.
Cool, thank you!!
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.
😊 Thank you!!
Très beau travail tu et un artiste
I'm a bricklayer by trade myself and that looks like a 5 star working tool
Thank you!
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 🇨🇦
:) Thanks!!
Your videos have to be the best smithing videos on youtube in terms of sheer technical skill and production value
I love seeing you turn a piece of metal into a handy tool.
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 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.
Your work is amazing. This one was saving my day. No talking only working. Because this you have the best channel ever !
watching you punch a hole in that piece like it was play dough made my day
I keep on watching your videos all day...Love from India🇮🇳♥️
Great pleasure to watch and learn! Thanks a lot!
Good job on the hammer!
It's HAMMER Time, @torbjornahman!
Im glad that Maryland finally made it on your cabinet. I am a Marylander
I have known this tool as a mason's hammer for 60 years I still have my great grandfather's
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!
Thanks!
The peace depicted on your videos could make the world a better place
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 🙏
Cool! Thanks
Torbjorn’s work is beautiful off the power hammer and the anvil. Gosh I love watching it. 💕💕. JC🌵
May I come assist next time? Ha. That looked like tons of fun. And you get to use your new toy right away! Excellent work; practical AND aesthetically pleasing.
The geometry of this head is so pleasing
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your forging or your wood work , both are amazing 👍
First time I was brought to your channel and happy to find it!
Cool, thanks!!
Great video, as always. takes me back to blacksmithing school...wow...20 years ago this year
Truly amazing. To pretty to use
Your good at that ,thanks for posting
Magnificent works magnificent forge tools tidy it's not like Mr. Borax lol film us again your garden with the birds it's amazing
It seems that a lot of craftsman have a love for cats. I see this often. I love cats as well. All pets. Yours looks a lot like my previous Clarabelle. Great work. Beautiful hammer.
That has to be the most refined handle you’ve made to date!!!
Beautiful piece of kit
Id be afraid to use it it’s so nice. Those chamfers are a work of art
The work you do is outstanding and now I know how to cut bricks. Thanks!
Really nice work. I especially enjoyed the segment on the handle. Thanks!
Great! Thanks
What a true Craftsman a like would be hard to find, a real joy to watch from start to finish.👍
Man waiting for you video from long time. Thanks for making and make me happy by your video 😊
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.
So glad to see a new video from you. Thanks!
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 !
Blacksmith and (almost) black cat. Great work. Thanks!
What a beautiful job you have made of that hammer.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I really like that it's not only the blacksmithing process but also the wood handle making that you show. :)
As always a work of art. You inspire me a lot sir. Thank you. A follower from 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
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.
Love that black and decker palm sander , had mine for years, great little tool
J’adore le travail que vous faites! I love the work you do! Jag älskar jobbet du gör!
Quality work on all fronts, product and picture
Thank you!
Nicely done, both the hammer and the video!
Thank you kindly!
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.
As a bricklaying instructor and a long time fan of your videos I wholeheartedly approve of this one 👍
Very cool! Thank you!
Beautiful hammer brick 🔨 watching 👀 from south africa 🇿🇦
A lot of work like the handle and tang, outstanding video been awhile since last video big fan..👊👏🤙

Gorgous work and video. Also thank you for peacefull moments in 11:55 . Deeply in love with nature and animals ✌🏻
Thank You Mr. T for Sharing your skills.

As always sir well done!
I am always in awe of your work. Your tools are so pleasing to the eye and your work is so clean and fresh.
Another beautiful masterpiece
Ah! Love seeing my states flag! Us Marylanders love our flag lol. Great work on the hammer, as always!
Very well done!
Any craftsman would be delighted to use a hammer like that. An absolute gem!❤
Any brick would be glad to be broken in half by it too!
That is simply amazing. No other words for it.
Very nice and beautiful work ❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful and functional hammer
Great work, as always......
Depending on either the number of houses or how big the one house you build with it: If it survives that it is definitely a tool to pass on to your next generations. What a great job, it is perfect!
Mr. Torbjorn Ahman, I am a fan of yours. Each time I watch your video to learn many new things. I appreciate your competence & skills. Your workshop is wonderful. It has numerous tools & machinery; all items displayed systematically.
You seem to be a qualified Mechanical Engineer. The way you undertake your jobs, an ordinary Blacksmith can't. You are well-versed in blacksmithery. Please keep it up.
Loads of love from Pakistan. Drop a line in reply. I shall appreciate it.
Thank you!
Beautiful hammer, thank you for sharing your video. God bless you and your family.
Hello from the USA. What a gorgeous hammer. So nice I would never want to use it. 😃
Incredible amount of work. Thank you, mister Åhman!
What a beautiful tool, and a relaxing video.
Again: impeccable!!!
The best thing about a die grinder with a carbide burr is all the tiny little metal chips it throws around at about twice the speed of light everywhere. And you get to find them in your hair and beard when you take a shower. It's like a spicy little surprise in your hair.
:) I know! It's fun, isn't it?!
Excellent! You are one of a kind. Amazing work. Thanks for posting...
So beautiful tool. Excellent work!
Not only ordinary tool... But piece of art! Nice video my northern friend, Totally Åwesome as always!

As always, most impressive craftsmanship.
Perfect job!!!!!
Absolutely adore your work!
