  • As promised in this video I make a brush handle for Daniel Moss. He made a handle for me and now it's my turn to return the favor!

    That is very nice! I don’t like the screws though, I would have used slotted screw heads.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  5 ปีที่แล้ว +65

      Thanks. Sure, but this is a everyday tool, so this makes it a little easier to change and remove multiple times.

      I dunno, I thought that at first, but they're nicely centred and the different colour makes them a feature.

      There are black torx screws as well.. would probably look nice.

      My question is what did you use to align to the chalklines as the index on the handle?
      (eyeball along an edge, or, mark, or?)

    • @bwhip
      @bwhip 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@markschweter6371 I think he just eyeballed the centerline of the handle with the chalk line, then pushed the handle forward until it contacted the side of the anvil.

    • @loul7239
      @loul7239 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is one for the notebook for sure. I never saw it before and I’m sure I would have either guessed at it or tried forging it with a set hammer from the top.
      I believe he simply lined it up with the center.

      @@danielmoss2089 just watched the video of you making the handle for Mr.Ahman,what really gave me a grin was how your dialogue is quite the same as the big Swede uses in most of his video work but in Mr.Ahmans video I think there was more talking in this one than all the rest of his videos combined!Long story short I really enjoyed seeing two different men's take on what was essentially the same project.I thank you both for showing your extrodinary skills and making the rest of us (hopefully!)better smiths!

    It is interesting to watch you work with the hot iron. My grandfather was the last in our family to make real use of a forge and anvil. He would become a front row ticket holder for your videos.
    Your picking up the pieces that you are working on reminded me of a joke that was told numerous times by Grandpa about a kid hanging around a blacksmith shop. He was fascinated by the making of shoes for a horse. As a shoe was finished, the smith would flip it on the dirt floor to cool. The kid was hovering around the shoes. He had been warned about burning his fingers. Finally the kid grabbed a hot shoe, to which the smith stated; “Burnt ya didn’t it?” The kid replied that he had not gotten burned, but it did not take him long to look at a horse shoe.
    I thank you for the sharing of your skills in creating useful and artistic wares.
