    I love watching Blacksmiths forge random Items. I think it's cool how they can shape a material like iron.

    Interesting to see the blacksmithing process. There has always been a sort of mystery behind this skill for me personally. Good to see people are keeping the practice alive in modern times

    I had the pleasure of dealing with this man and have bought one of his hammers and have it delivered to Ireland. My opinion - its a work of art. You can tell by the detail on the hammer the passion and love this man has for his smith work. He is a gifted blacksmith. I hope to have the strength & health to swing this hammer for many years to come and pass on to my son at some stage. Thank you again Torbjörn. A delight dealing with you Sir.

    This is such an awesome production Torbjörn, I keep finding myself back here watching it over and over. need to get myself a power hammer, yours is quiet compared to most or are you just turning the sound down when you come to edit? cheers!

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 років тому +3

      ***** Thanks! Difficult to tell how loud it is from the video. I'm on auto gain control so the level will adjust itself. However I think the hammer is below average. For any power hammer, it probably depends really much on how it's mounted and in what environment it sits.

    fortunaetly you have a power hammer... would have been a shit ton of work to forge this hammer with hand tools only... i mean it already is a bunch of work to forge some simple flat nib tongs if you have to draw out the reins with hand tools only

    Using an electric hammer to make a normal hammer... That is so many kinds of funny. ;] Next project is to make an electric hammer using the hammer hammer?
    after re-reading this... I realize it might come across as a criticism. I don't mean it that way. It is just that the irony is hysterical.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 років тому +3

    I Loved it!!!! I was a fellow Metal worker myself, I worked in the Foundries and Machine Shops for almost 20 Years and til this day reministing on some of the memories of doing Metal work and watching people do it as wellas learning new tricks of the trade, it still amazes meon some of the Chemistry and formationing of objects from Liquid Fire to solid Metal and then forming or "Forging" and Object into something is so beautifully done, people should really learn to appreciate somwething like this because even though it flows so beautilfully it is not that simple either.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  9 років тому +2

      Patrick Wojciechowski Thank you! Yes, it's pretty amazing, and the chemistry is quite complex as well when you dig in. What is fascinating is how people learned to produce iron/steel from just trial and error and did things in the "right way" but had no clue about the underlying mechanisms...
