- Robb at Thak ironworks reached out and asked if I wanted to participate in his 2020 chess set challenge, making a pawn for him. My brain started to spin and after a couple of days work I came up with this creature!

The thing I love about your videos is that you present blacksmithing as a calm and almost relaxing thing and that you never get into a hurry with it.
also love that you do cute stuff like this!
Thank you Kimmy!
@@torbjornahman thank you!
Really incredible artistry, as always. Love it.
Thanks!
WOW, actually you dont have to thank us for watching but we have to thank you for the talented hands you have 👍
YOU ARE CORRECT SIR!
robert griffin thank you sir
Yep.
Wow, that is truly wonderful. What an artist.
The expression on that tortoise's face is perfect. Well done.
You're a totally artist. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Truly exquisite Torbjorn. This is perhaps your finest work, hand and eye in near perfect coordination.This little tortoise has life.
Not just blacksmithing, an artist is what he is, nice job, Torbjörn
You been taking lessons from ‘this old Tony’. Seeing that hammer hit at the start looked like his way too. Awesome build to watch and learn from.
Thunder Bear never disappoints! Master blacksmith and phenomenal artist rolled into one! Awesome as usual!
The attention to detail is amazing
Great work, that turtle is beautiful
What observation in every detail. You are a true artist.
And that's just a pawn... I can't begin to imagine the size of the whole set and the sophistication of the more important chess pieces! Stunning work and display of blacksmithing knowledge, mr. Thunderbear!
the pawn is the most important piece.
@@SuperAWaC I wasn't talking about the deeper meaning of every piece and how a simple pawn is important. I meant that pawns are less complicated VISUALLY than for instance a bishop and you know that ;)
@@baphoreart7573 a bishop is just a pawn with a funky hat
@@SuperAWaC Well, in a standard chess set, that's completely right. But we're not talking here about standard chess set are we now? Personally I didn't come here to talk about that, if I wanted to I'd go to a video about normal chess ;) I'm here to see a blacksmith at work, and I'm looking forward to see the next artistic interpretations of the rest of the chess pieces and how they will portray they in a way to show their "rank"
THAK asked for pawns no more than 2 by 2 inches. But this piece would be an add on. They said if they got more than 16 pawn pieces, they would work then in some way.
Keep the projects coming. Truly enjoy watching you work and hearing your hammer strike.
Don’t know which I enjoy more. The making of the functional pieces or the artistic pieces.
Next, a full sized, 150yr old Galapagos tortoise for a lawn ornament.
The kids would love it!
Love your work and the music that you pair with it. I would love to see you working live.
Nice tortoise, love the construction method :-)
Ooooh my goodness! That is an amazing piece of artistry and craft! Loved the process for making the upper shell, and the hidden plug weld was genius!
I would be delighted if I could inspire someone with my work like you inspire me to start blacksmithing
Nice, thank you!
@@torbjornahman Cheers mate. I'm watching your vids with my kid, 4.5yrs old, here in Serbia
Incredible! What a talent you have. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute little thing !
Serious blacksmithing and great craftmanship! Thanks for sharing, mate!
Amazing work great job👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Incredible. The detail you put into the turtle shell was beautiful. Well done. You are a master blacksmith. A true craftsman.
Amazing details from an incredible craftsman.
Beautiful work. The step by step process helps people understand how you see the project. Really great job!
Did you know? Those lumps on the shell of turtles are not natural, but instead they are formed due to lack of nutrients on their nutrition. When the animal is healthy, the shell is smooth. The lumps can't be undone, though, even when the nutrition is corrected.
Amazing work!
I follow all your works and they are wonderful, continue to surprise the world with your ability
Turned out great. You're more than a blacksmith, you're an artist.
I am always amazed with your work! You are a very talented individual. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! This is the nicest piece of blacksmithing art I've ever seen, no kidding.
And way too good to be just a pawn. From the video title I was guessing it would be a rook, since tortoises are kind of castle-like.
Thank you!
Wow ,you never fail to amaze me. It's beautiful.
I want see all practice ones, You know there's a family of them out there. great work T.A
LOL a small family of “mis-hit turtles”? 🐢
Every single one is probably cute too.
I call them sketches in iron , I have a whole pile of ugly hummingbirds. ......plug weld is an artist best friend. Great work sir
Fantastic level of detail
Absolutely wonderful work as always, you never disappoint, well done
Thank you so much!
Beautiful done, magnificent work
Jag gillade det verkligen! Detta är bara super! Sköldpaddan visade sig nästan som mina sköldpaddor, även om jag har vatten mexikanska rödörade sköldpaddor, och det här är en landsköldpadda. Du borde ha fäst en sköldpadds svans. Men även utan svansen visade det sig bra! 👍🐢
Really enjoy seeing blacksmithing that's not just making hammers, tongs and punches. Love all your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! Cool to see Thak getting some exposure, he's great
Such a precision is out of mind! Perfect job! Look alive!
Приятная безделушка ... Руки в правильном месте приварены! ))
Wow. Trodde att jag fuskade när jag använde oxy-acetylen och en MIG/MAG svets. Men om Torbjörn gör det så kan jag. Fullständigt älskar din "tortoise"! Fantastisk kreation.
Каждый раз, когда приезжаю на обед из своей кузницы, смотрю твои видео! Браво!
Absolutely beautiful piece of work .
Quality of steel looks fantastic
It would be really cool to have a whole set of those in different poses.
Torbjorn, you are a genius in the detail that you put into this. Kudos.
Это шедевр, как и все что Вы делаете!
Beautiful piece! Your creativity and attention to detail is amazing, a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing.
wat a nice tortoise, and where is he looking for
A new project???
greetings from the Netherlands
Amazing anatomical details!
Torbijorn. you"re the man
I really love the last part, welding the belly! Inspiration, I really wanna do this with my life thanks
I want to buy one of these turtles.
Hermoso!!!!! maestro, gracias por compartir su arte
I just love "This old tony" matter handling style.
That simple hardy hole clamp you were using while making the eyes was brilliant.
If it were on a Paul Sellers woodwork bench, he’d call it a dog
What a cute little beastie! Well done. I've been following Thak's chess set challenge with great interest and it's great to see you participate. This kind of sculpting work is a discipline of its own, isn't it?
Absolutely! Thanks
A beautiful piece! Amazing work on the she'll.
Also the music addition to videos is nice.
Круто!
The thumbnail shows us the beauty of the piece, truly beautiful. So why do we watch? Real beauty is in the process and work of a master. Thank you Torbjörn!🙏🙏
Thank you!
lol I love 🐢!!!
Incredible attention to detail.
Cuuute 🥰. But You wearing a glove next to the drill bit gives me the creeps. I saw one skinned finger resulting of this. One too many... 🤢
Just beautiful work! I love his stance.
Beautiful professional work as always!
Amazing. So full of life. Loved the stop motion letting the lil guy explore the anvil and shop :)
Thank you!
Excelente obra de arte forjado. Felicitaciones maestro!
Your beautiful work always my favorite BlackSmith and multiple skills Smith 👌 ❤️
I'm impressed again
MASTER BLACKSMITH SIR
Beautiful work as always. My grandmother loved tortoises and had an enclosure for her 12 rescued tortoises. In some summers the tortoises had a small laid with 2 to 3 eggs. And the baby tortoises were eating on the breakfast table their salad leaves. Just a gorgeous picture in my mind. Thank you for bring these memories up. My grandmother would have loved on of these figures.
Cheers from Germany.
Oh wow, how cool! Thanks
Favorite project so far! More art please!
Beautiful. I had never thought of forging and shaping a turtle. Great gift ideas.
Literally the most amazing to date you have created! The detail is amazing! You sir, are a master craftsman
Wow, thank you!
Awesome work! amazing details on the shell!
Congratulations, you have a special skill !!
I really enjoyed this video, it was so cool to see this tortoise emerge from that steel! You are a true forge artist .
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful art form ! Love it Sir!👌
Thanks!
Truly a fantastic artist. Just doing what he loves! Great
Not so simple, fun, and beautifully executed, kudos to you sir.
As always, you are incredible! What a simple and great piece. Thank you for sharing your skills!
Thanks!
I so enjoy watching craftsmen and artist work and show their process of doing things. I am a new person to your channel but can not wait to see what you create next.
Thanks!
Tortoisely amazing! Turtley incredible! Beautiful work as always. 👍🏻
:) Thanks
MAN, Torbjorn - you sir are an artist-craftsman. Very well done. Thank you for sharing and setting the bar high for all us hobbyist blacksmiths.
Thank you Brad!
an iron turtle, built from the skillful hand of a craftsman
Amazing work, both art and technology, worth seeing
Ohhhhh! How adorable! Excellent workmanship! I want him! 😃
Nicely done as always. Deep envy over the workshops still.
Thanks!
I loved thee shell! When he first was roughing it in, I thought that I looked pretty good. Oh boy was I continually amazed by the extra details that he put in to make it look so much more real and amazing. Great work!
Thank you Matt!
Wow very nice..... Not just a turtle u did awesome on the DETAILS 👍🏼👍🏼
Haven't seen the video fully yet, but the thumbnail itself was enough to tell me this is one more beauty, Torbjorn! Lovely stuff. (Will watch fully and admire properly again. :) (
Having seen the thumbnail and the full video, I believe the thumbnail is actually selling you short. SUch a lovely piece. Worthy of all the work you put in, and some more.
Amazing outcome...this can be used as a very nice paper weight at a office desk and also a symbolic mascot for a good company who succeeded in their business with persistent effort.....
Always phenomenal craftsmanship!
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing!
You never fail to impress!! Badass as always! I love all you're stuff! Only problem is I wish you made more. I could watch you're stuff all day!!
Thank you!
That came out great! I love watching the process.
Please keep making awesome creatures!! Your attention to detail I find absolutely fascinating!
Love your videos so much. Such a craftsman
Inspiring work! Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful piece, sir!
Wow!!!! Phenomenal job, the level of intricate detail is top notch!!!!!
