Blacksmithing - Forging a chipping hammer

- In this video I show how I make a chipping hammer. I was missing one in the workshop and decided to forge one! Clearly you can make this hammer in a much simpler way but I wanted to try something else.

I wonder how often he gets in trouble with Mrs. Åhman because she wants to bake something but there's a chunk of metal tempering in her oven?🤣🤣
Tempering and baking temperatures are often pretty similar. If you choose your steel and biscuit recipe carefully you could do them at the same time
The most Swedish thing ever! Spilling cold water all over the hot steel and going: "Jaha", in a soft voice. Bra jobbat, Torbjörn! Fortsätt så.
Ha ha ha... right! :)
At a house party a friend of mine found the girl he was infatuated with, in a room making out with someone, he laconically stated "där ser man", and promptly left...

Awesome work.
Just watched this with my son, who is not quite 3, he was mesmerised by it and was asking me questions about it all the way through.
Wow, how sweet! Give him a hug from me!
Dear artist. When poems come from a channel, first I put my liked and then watch the video because I am sure it will be a very brilliant and wonderful work.
I can only imagine how peaceful it must be doing your own thing,
Blade smithing and gardening.😌
LOL when Torbjörn free-hands a billet from a coil spring it looks like factory produced square stock. I know your time is limited, but god I wish you would produce more videos.
:) Thanks. I know...
I'll second that! Really enjoy watching you work.
@@BCM1959 Amen to that ... erm, I mean Ahman to that (more vids). 😋👍
:)
Could not agree with you more. Absolutely love his content.
Once again I am just blown away. To be honest I know basically nothing about this smith’s vocation (or trade, or skill, or art; whatever you want to call this). I have watched every single piece of Mr Torbjörn Åhman’s content, at least once and some of them my grandsons and I have watched together many times. I am so grateful for this always but especially over the last year as my grandsons and I had a lot of fun trying to make some of these projects. Oh we failed horribly but it was so much fun and made the days of exile more bearable. Thank You!
I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and your family!
Wonderful to hear, except the failures of course. Thank you so much and say hi to your grandsons!

I really love how every time you make a tool you show it being used!
Thanks!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you spill anything or mis-hit a chisel until now, so long and this is the first time I’ve seen it. You are a machine!
Ha ha, things happen all the time...
It's so satisfying to watch a blacksmith punch and drift, having some dim awareness that this is a very difficult thing to do right. This is awesome.
Tell you what, those 2 faces you made after "chopping" off a piece of that spring were priceless brother, had me laughing so hard I had to keep playing it back to show my family!!!
In another note, keep up the AMAZING videos, I love the knowledge I'm absorbing... because of you, Abomb, and both the Keith's, I've bought a Monarch Lathe, multi-processor welders, drill presses, tons of tools and tooling, and right now I'm looking for a good vertical mill, you guys put me on a path of Machining & Metal Working, so thank you brother!!!
THANK YOU! Ha ha, yes that shot was pretty funny. I laughed a lot editing that one. Wow, that sounds amazing, I assume you know that you never will get a complete shop.... there is always new stuff to bring home :)
Ciao Torbjorn. I tuoi lavori sono sempre perfetti e bellissimi. Vedo sempre con piacere i tuoi video. Sei bravissimo. Un caro saluto dall'Italia.
Always a pleasure to see a new video from you mate. That has to be the fanciest chipping hammer I've ever seen!
Thanks!
oh Sam is here!
@@samcoote9653 I'm everywhere haha
How wonderful is Spring in Sverige! There you realise the powerful awakening of nature after the long winter period. Another reason to love this Country. Btw, concerning your job, you have the gift for transforming a humble tool into an object of art.
Thank you! It's a wonderful time now, everything is green and the flowers....
I am moving to Sweden next winter, looking forward to the experience!
@@raskahn9286 Cool!
I had to make one of these as a blacksmithing test when I was doing my Broad Base Engineering certificate in the late 70's, the apprentices no longer do this as part of their training today
That is a classic Torbjorn. I just weld mine and put it together, As I have no power hammer just me at 75 years old.
TB - you're a complete natural at blacksmithing, filming and editing - anything you cannot do???
That mid-swing quenching technique is new for me. But I'm sure it's the one thing that I could master quickly. 😁 Honestly, it's great to see how all these little hiccups don't stop you from making another work of art and functional tool.👍
Showing his softer side with clips of his flower garden, proving that not all blacksmiths are with hardened metal and fire demeanors...nice.👍
Wow, I've never seen an angle grinder surgeon before. Well done lol
This has to be the nicest slag hammer in the history of slag hammers ever!
. . Ббббб
Sledgehammer
@@androiddevices7402 no slag hammer. it gets rid of slag more gently thatn anything
@@JPike223 ok
Шикарный инструмент! P.s. Каждый раз перед просмотром я знаю что будет великолепное исполнение и работа. Уважение таким Мастерам.
Why am I watching these videos? I'm a sailor living on his sailboat in Key West and will never own a forge, anvil or blacksmith hammer. I love how meditative your videos are and enjoy watching old scrap iron become a beautiful, hand-made tool that will last for generations.
Best regards from the Conch Republic,

P.S. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks!!
All the way through "how're they gonna attach that?"
16:14 😲 "this guy is insane, or a genius"
Only the Thunder Bear can break spring steel with his bare paw….er hand! 😂 Very cool chipping hammer!
:)
That was a good giggle today, TA, thank you. I really needed that. 😂👍
0:33 FEEL TEH POWAH !! 💪😬
Gotta love the magic of editing.
Judooo chop! This always makes me happy :) the homage to Sensei @ThisOldTony
It's not that long ago I figured I needed a chipping hammer/slag pick, but I just ground a flat edge and a pointy bit out of a piece of mystery round bar and welded it to a spare piece of mild steel for a handle and called it good. You made art.
Also I think this is the first time I've seen a wedged steel handle, very interesting.
As a welder I gotta say that's a sweet looking chipping hammer ⚒😎👍 nice job ThunderBear 👏 👌
Aww, little teeny Leidenfrost bead rocking itself into oblivion.
I wonder if Torbjorn and This Old Tony went to the same magic school?
Can Torbjorn time travel as well???
@@VMX42AUS My bet is that he can do just about anything he wants to do. Wizards are like that.
Time travel is simply not possible due to the rotation of the Earth around the Sun
I love how instead of swearing when he spilled that water he just went "oh-oh"
We save your videos for Saturday evening, open a bottle of wine, sit back and enjoy watching you create some beautiful work of art. We are very grateful for all of the efforts you make to share your magic with us. Thank you. Vielen dank!
That sounds great! Thanks
Once again, you have turned a simple tool into a work of art.
Iron to Iron! Precision and the most innovated handle ever! Another masterpiece from your magic hands! Magic and same time strong enough to break the steel like a walnut🙂👍👍👍
OK, but seriously though, thank you for actually including knocking the water over. Video editing is magic, but its reaaaaally nice to see someone with a lot of experience knocking the same things over that I do lol (usually dye onto leather for me personally)
:) Things like that happen all the time...
Love your work. Don't think I could be more impressed with both the objects you make and the mastery of nonverbal teaching. The clever editing and occasional laugh are just a bonus. Keep up the great work.
I have been watching your videos for quite sometime now. All your finished products turn out, in my opinion, to be near works of art. I can't see myself putting any of those finished products to use. Yet I have seen you use them. A perfect blend of form and function. Thank you for sharing. 🇮🇳
Thanks!
This design is an absolut eye catcher.
?
Cool! Never thought about putting a fastening wedge in a metal handle.
:) Thanks! Not entirely sure how it will work in the long run, but it's extremely tight now.
And the handle will not split, that's for sure
It's really coincidental but I watched a young guy do a wedged mortise and tenon stool which was aluminium earlier today, his wedges were brass which he peened over.
Yeah, I was just wondering how come you didn’t made wooden handle like you use too. Don’t get me wrong metal handle is cool and I like how you use the metal wedge and kept it tall for future hammering :) but is there a reason for not using wood? Is there a balance reason?
@@magnusbrogren2849 since the hammer will be for the welding area exclusively, i aspect a wooden handle would get burnmarks and/or welding spatter burned in it.
It won't stay pretty, maybe even become uncomfortable in the long run.
I really like that you didn’t beautify the video with the cutting out of the water spill. That’s why I subscribe here. No one is perfect and it’s hard to find a someone willing to show mistakes on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
I hope someday we get a video compilation of you cutting and breaking steel with your bare hands. You’re getting really good at it! 😀
*- I love it.*
*- Why did I think of using a hacksaw to split the end of a metal handle for a wedge, and then you did it?*
*- I don't know, Torbjörn! Were you sending me mental images as a game?*
:)
A small piece of spring, straight arms, a little imagination + experience = a very neat and beautiful instrument that you want to take in your hands. Thank you for the video!
Awesome vid my man been watching for over a year now subed after the 1st vid i watched you are one of the reasons why i got into blacksmithing and its been a hell of a journey thank you and keep up the good work ❤❤😊😊
Wow, that's fantastic to hear! Thanks
the glowing ingot looks like it would taste delicious. forbidden candy.
Beautiful work! That's the first time I've seen someone put a wedge in a steel handle.. nicely done sir!
What a lovely chipping hammer. I remembered to watch though the 'magic' this time. I assume it was water in the can to cool the punch/chisel. I loved the use of 'woodworking' techniques to wedge the head to the shaft. Thanks once again.
Quality over quantity looks amazing better then factory made
If you were to turn up the amps/more heat your slag will come off with 2-3 lite taps.
Great hammer!! I always enjoy watching your videos 💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
That's some great magic skill you're developing over time! Awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is so beautifully crispy. Amazing as always. True art.
As always your videos, skills, talent never ceases to amaze me! Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video!
Best blacksmith channel in youtube. Thank you.
Gotta love those editing skills
You could easily start something here - no self-respecting welder seen without an Ahman chipping hammer! Just like carpenters and Estwing hammers 40 years ago. Excellent!
Well hes about 20 years to late, any welder that cares about aesthetics doesn't use stick anymore.
You truly are a master at your craft.
Hello, I am Korean and I am watching your video very interestingly. The various tools you make are very beautiful. Enjoy the good video.
Thanks !
I'm gonna be honest, the first minute of this video was upsetting.
Great work, as always.
A+ dad joke.
Ótima experiência com forja, projeto muito bom.
Perfect, the workmanship, balance and finish..👍
Plus I just luv hearing the “clack” of your anvil, takes me back many years.
Thank you for posting your work.
Thanks 👍
You are an artist. I enjoy your work. I wish you and your dear family good health✌️✌️✌️♥️
the ratcheted wedge is one of the smartest things i have ever seen
Замечательно. И исполнение и подача!!!
Ready Nice work I just got 2 realy Nice big old axe heads they just where 3 bucks a realy Nice find God bless you and your loved ones 👍👏🔥
Everything but the wedge, beautiful. I was expecting you to weld the head to the shaft. After all, its for a welding tool. And you welded the handle loop. I appreciate you stopping to smell the flowers!
Welding high carbon steel is tricky. You need a good pre-heat and that would ruin the hardening. I would have had to weld and then heat treat. My original plan was to rivet the top over but decided to try something else.
@@torbjornahman Interesting. Originally, I was going to make a cheeky comment that you appeared to be "making this up as you went along" (when you were shaping the head. It looked longer and more "pointy" than any chipping hammers I've seen) but the final result, as usual, is your exquisite blend of art, craft, and utility. Thanks again!
Железный клин в железной рукоятке поразил !
Инструмент для Железного Кузнеца. Не путать с Железным Дровосеком. 😉
@@oleg_konovalov что вы говорите? Как так можно!? Дровосек это не толерантно! Надо говорить ДРОВОСЭКСУАЛИСТ!!! )))))!
Отличный инструмент, мастеру моё почтение.
Спасибо
This is like a chipping hammer of legend passed down by the old welding gods! looks so cool! Mighty and POWERFUL
Watching Torbjorn work is therapy. Love it! Jc
His punchcutting ability has definitely leveled up since last time
I still don’t know how to pronounce Å
Almost like "o" when you say "ore" :) ua-cam.com/video/BQo42_o6s4Q/v-deo.html
Very nice. I was expecting to see the spring handle like the ones that are on the mass produced chipping hammers we see here in the USA. I don't think I've ever seen one that was built differently. The metal wedge in a metal handle is something new too, or at least new to me. I was expecting to see the handle welded. Learned a lot today.
Thanks. The steel wedge is an experiment, but I think it will work nicely.
@@torbjornahman how did the metal wedge experiment go? Did it work or it came loose?
@@yamilespanol4527 It's still working! Can't say I have used the hammer every day, but a decent amount!
Man, you are a living CNC machine.
:)
I come back for the metal artistry, but I do enjoy the gardening and other sides
Шикарный инструмент сварщика 👍,красивая работа .
Согласен, отличный молоточек, только у меня бы он висел в красном уголке как икона, а я бы молился на него, на удачу🤗🤗🥰😇
Very nice hammer, one might even say “exceptional”!
I’m so jealous when you fire up that power hammer.
I am so impressed by your work. You create objects of form and function that are pieces of art. Perhaps only those that would use the tools you make can truly appreciate them.
Сколько труда и времени вложено на создание своей мастерской,моё почтение профессионалу кузнечного дела?! Это триумф!!!🧐
у него даже пневмо молот чистый как новый
Un excelente trabajo como siempre, tanto en la ejecución de la forja como en la realización del vídeo. Enhorabuena!!!
Pero tomarse todo ese laburo nada mas que para sacarle la cascara a la soldadura
Its so relaxing watching some one else working! Nice chipping hammer. Thanks for posting...
Молодец!!! Сильно заморочено, но вышло шикарно.
Me: A chipping hammer? I'll enjoy seeing it made anyway
Also me later on: Oh of course, well now I know that too!
EXACTLY! I don’t know what it is but I love it!!😂
I liked the pine-tree-shaped wedge. Very good job.
The way you are so delicate with the power hammer is amazing!
After a long day of forging, this videos are perfect for resting :D
Всегда приятно наблюдать за Вами, супер!!!
Excellent piece! Greetings from Brazil.
I love binging new channels like this when I find them. Keep up the good work!
Edit: Keep up the *Great work!
Cool, thanks!
Хочу себе такой молоток! Хотя нет, жалко будет пользоваться.
Себе сделал из зубила и отрезка трубы, страшненький, кривенький, но свой.
P.S.:Русскоязычным зрителям - привет!
P.P.S.: Всем привет!

👋 Главное, что устраивает. 😉👍
You have heard of poetry in motionm, these pieces are poetry in repose.
I have my grandfathers hand forged rock pick and is very precious to me. Had to put a new handle on it a few years ago but it still goes with me on many of our hikes, always rocks to look at. Very cool to watch this hammer being forged, great upload.
Simple yet elegant.
Absolutely a work of art. I would be proud to use such a tool.
Nicely done.
Очень удобно, хороши..👍👍👍👍
Отличный шлакоотбойный молоток!
Еще бы ручку деревянную сделал, цены бы ему не было.
@@Rory_Mercury Зачем? Она не нагревается, а удобство не нужно.Хенд мейд, ёпта)
It's a work of art that is highly useful. Literally the best of both worlds.
I gather that you are doing more welding and therefore you need a chipping hammer that is more efficient than the commercial units.
Metal wedge, Metal handle, Awesome idea and looks great!
Как всегда безупречно!!!
Работа супер, а вот рубахи в полосочку не хватает. С уважением
почему в полосочку?)
Oh no words it's really beautiful work.
Thank you!
Very elegant design. It turned out very unique and very nice. Love seeing your videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep Making.. God Bless.
