Blacksmithing - Forging a side set tool
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2023
- Follow along as I make a "side set" tool for the power hammer. It's used to make a triangular or slanted setdown into a work piece, typically to isolate a section for further forging.

You have the nicest video format on UA-cam. While you do talk from time to time you do not feel compelled to train the camera on your face and run your jaws like so many others. A picture is worth a thousand words, yet some feel the need to spray a thousand words at us. You seem like a really humble guy. God bless.
Thank you!
Yes, you are right. I refuse to watch videos where there is somebody flapping their gums all the time. So annoying
Thunder Bear never disappoints!
I agree although sometimes the topic requires an explanation to be spoken verbally. The thing about blacksmithing videos is that the video itself can fully explain what’s happening because you can watch it happening, so words aren’t really needed.
The problem with other channels are they keep doing “how to” videos over and over. Most of us just like to watch a person work and what they are creating. I’ve been smithing for years, I don’t need a how to video. If I’m trying to learn something I can see what’s happening in the video. No need to explain heat treating and how a forge works in every video 🤦♂️
Who else instantly hits the like button in the first second of watching Torbjörns video?
I’m glad Torbjörn could set a-side the time.
:)
Love it when you post new videos. 13 degrees here in Boise this morning. I wish I had your fire.
Brrr...
I could see your videos thousend times a day
I found your channel a few days ago when your wafer iron video was in my recommended list. I have been binging your videos almost non-stop since! Definitely recommending you to some friends for them to check out. 💗🇦🇺 Australia
Awesome! Thank you!
Even a broken clock is correct a couple of times a day 👍
I'm a bit jealous of you, still being able to binge watch new episodes. Oh wel a new torbjorn video in the subscriptions list, from time to time is also highly appreciated.
Once again, I love your work and your simple humor.
Again Torbjorn shows the ease and flow of working steel. JC🌵
I'm also a blacksmith. I enjoy watching the different techniques. There's no right or wrong, but safety is not negotiable. This channel does use all the safety steps that are required but I've seen some on UA-cam that leave a lot to be desired. For all of you new blacksmiths, alway wear ear and eye protection. I know you may wonder why eye protection, but every once in a while you will feel chips of metal fly to your face. Sometimes they sell you the wrong metal. An experience blacksmith will know right away, but students might not know and be injured by this. Also, proper ventilation is always essential. Don't get cheap unless you want to damage your lungs. Last but not least, the hearing protection should be rated at a minimum of 30 decibels. The higher the better. You can never go too high. Enjoy blacksmithing in a safe way.
Making a tool, always a sign of an interesting project ahead!
I wonder if it is related to the flax experiment
I was thinking the exact same thought....I wonder what he has in store for us.
For some reason, the angles and shape of the test piece at the end made me think of a tiki idol.
Perhaps you will forge a tiki idol for us?
Swedish wizard, your videos are amazing!
Torbjörn makes a tool video, that can only mean there is an exciting project coming up that will use said tool :)
The effectiveness of this tool was pretty surprising to me. It looks so simple and barely has any wedge or angle, but it moved a lot of material really quickly and very "cleanly." Very impressive!
i may have fallen out of love with blacksmithing ages ago but I will still always return to you mate, peak content you are!!
Hmmm... now what is it that you're planning with that test piece? Great video as always Torbjörn, thank you!
That groan at 8:50 forging a little too far is priceless
Torbjörn never disappoints! Always fascinating stuff, always cleverly produced!
👍
when that jug dropped at a snap ! hahaha
Thank you! It doesn't matter what you're making, it's always well made and a pleasure to watch.
8:00 Great, now you have the perfect tool to forge Easter Island Moai statues 🗿🗿🗿
Ha ha! Some basic shapes at least!
Forgot to wish you and family all the best for the coming year.
Thank you, the same to you!
So now I know how the original old lock gate ratchet racks were made, thanks very much 🍻
Thanks as always for the education. I especially like to hear the hammers. There is never a need for canned music. Well done.
You are without a doubt one of my favorite people on the whole planet!
Looks perfect for forging some Jack stands. Another excellent video.
Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
If only I had the means to create my own tools, I'd do so. When I need one, I have to buy it and I cringe at the cost. You on the other hand, can just go out to the workshop and forge one. Forging seems to be a very handy and lucrative skill, one of which that many can be very envious of.
Had me on the edge of my set from start to finish. Every smith needs one of those tools.
Looks like time for some artisan forged jack stands!
Always amazing to me is how big of a tool you can make from such a small piece of round bar. Let alone your deft hands and amazing control of your power hammers! Thanks for the inspiration and anticipation of what you are going to build next! Hat Tip, ~PJ
I find it so relaxing to watch your videos.
Thanks!
Thank you for showing your technique !-)
Linseed oil, falling from the sky, on command. Nice touch.
Very precise.
Impressive!
Having watch many of your videos I imagine this video is a lead up to something more intricate. I'm looking forward to it!
As always nicely done sir.
Thanks Marc!
Silly question sir. Is the 4340 steel tougher then the topical 4140.
I would say yes, but haven't really compared.
Even the toughest steel is like putty in your hands. Looking forward to your next project!
Another terrific tool. I'm still practicing my technique for getting the linseed oil to be available 🤣
Keep the project vids coming... I wish we could see them more often, than every month or so..
Our #1 blacksmith hero on UA-cam! As always a pleasure to watch you bend the metal to your iron will❤️🔥
Good to see again a blacksmithing work from you. Been long time sounds like years. I hope this will continue and we can watch your precise metal processing works. Have nice days
I hope so too!
P-neumatic power hammer are awesome.
This is clearly a tool foreshadowing the next build: a wrought iron sunbathing chair with adjustable back positions
:) HE HE
Very nice work. You will be the first blacksmith on You tube to hit 1 million subscribers.
:)
Le bonsoir de France !
I see that your magic skills of invocation are improving over time ! Jokes aside, the saw-toothed shape of the test piece could make a nice ornament. Well, well. I follow your work for a long time and I always be pleased when you share a new video. You are truely magnify blacksmithing processes and only you know how to do it as well as you do. I wish you all the best for this new year. Vive la forge, vive la Suède, vive Torbjörn !
Thank you very much!
Ha nice new video. Great work on a new tool. Hope to see you put it to good use. 😍
thank you great video and blacksmithing.
Such a nice touch with oil bottle. Made me lough😁
You're the best..and second best!
Whenever I watch your videos, I feel amazed by your outstanding work, no doubt it may be once in a time, but still there is something that fascinates in the video with something extreme...cool keepup👍👍👍
Hello from Finland 👋 always wait your new videos 👍
Watching your projects gives me indescribable pleasure. stay cool
Great work👏
Very nice Job. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks Jared!
@@torbjornahman your very welcome
Wonderful video. I always enjoy you giving us the occasional laugh. But your craftsmanship is just always superior.
Finally a new, GREAT, video ! Tks master, good job as usual. Greetings from Rome ITALY 👍👍👍👍👍
*Loving your work as always.*
brilliant yet again
Great video, looks to be a very handy tool. Keep up the great work.
thanks sharing the video.
A new video; outstanding!
Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
we see the return of K O K T L I N O L J A
another fantastic video thank you as always
A very useful addition to your already extensive line up of tools, skill fully made as usual 👍. That blue striped coat you always wear, is this a “Swedish work shirt”, or something you’ve designed for yourself? Looks good.👌 Regards from Down Under.
Thanks! Not sure how it originates, but the same style has been used by craftsmen for many generations I believe.
"That blue striped coat you always wear, is this a “Swedish work shirt”, or something you’ve designed for yourself?"
It is a popular design for prison inmates, he took it with.
Only kidding, just poking the bear. ☺
@@BeachsideHank 😂🤣🤪😜Love your sense of humour 👍
Very tidy and well done. Good man torbjorn! Cheers J
Thanks Josh! It seems to work fine. The angle is a bit less than 90, to make it not flip
That was so cool. I gotta make one of those. I would never use it, but it is so simply elegant i need one.
Ha ha, you will find something to use it on, I'm sure! :)
It is fascinating the different tools required to make or to forge specific features in a project. Very similar to woodworking where you must make a jig to perform a feature in a piece of wood.
Yes, you can go nuts with tools...
Great video. Like all your others. Greetings
Great looking tool that you've made!!! It took me awhile to know what it was you were making not being a blacksmith but enjoy watching it
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great video. You did amazing work on this projects!
I litteraly watched your video last night- a carving knife for the third time in a year
Cool
Thanks. If ever you wonder, should I upload, the answer is yes.
:) Thanks!
Det är alltid ett stort nöje att se dina videor, och jag talar inte ens english :)
Hello and thanks for sharing such expert skills and video content.
Very nice! I'm looking at forging side set tools now that I'll be getting a tire hammer in a few months.
My thanks to you Sir
A joy to watch, al always. 👍👍
as...
Well done, dear brother. God bless you so much.
Its very cool
Your precision always amazes me !
@@TROBJORNAHMAN- ✅
hello torbjorn
happy new year for you and your family
lots of new projects and beautiful videos from you for this new year
Hello Torbjorn
I received a notification from you but I don't know what to do with what is requested
can you help me?
king regards
6 dias de atraso mas estou aqui, assistindo o cara mais foda no martelo que tem no UA-cam. O que eu não daria pra passar uma semana nessa oficina assistindo presencialmente.
My lovely wife: “He is in his shop making a tool. So he can then make a tool”. It’s all about the tooling. You have done another great job of it Brother Torbjörn!
Ha ha, she's right! You should listen to her, and I bet you do too :) :) As always, thank you !
@@torbjornahman you know it brother. She is Management. But I get to stay if I do my chores! Be Good!
Nice.
Impressive work as usual. I do wish I find an ABNO hammer someday!
I still don't know what a set tool is for... sorry.
Though one thing I can tell you is, seeing your anvil, I've always loved the idea of them. Ever since I was a little kid, I've loved anvils - such a big, heavy, solid, sturdy chunk of steel.
I worked in a steel fabricating company for a while when I was 17 (1967). It was with a bunch of old, crusty, hardcore, smoking, steel workers... the best summer job.
.
A set is often used to make an indentation, to isolate material in some way.
Sensacional guerreiro! 👍👏👏
Спасибо мастер.
thank you...
Прекрасная и необходимая в работе вещь! Но хотелось бы знать ,что это?
Думаю будет продолжение с этой приспособой.
Посмотрим.
У Торбьёрна ничего лишнего не бывает, всё по делу.
Лучший канал по кузнечному ремеслу!!!
Всегда жду с нетерпением выпуски.
We need more magic! :)
Gosto de assistir os trabalhos desse cara. São muito inspiradores e nos dão uma vibe legal...Logo quando sou notificado, já venho descendo o like👍
De var ett tag sedan kul att se dig igen !!
parabens novamente
OK you made a tool making this stepped object. Next video (?) showing how you use this stepped object into making some kind of unique device ?
:) We will see! Something steppy....
craftsman --- usta , thanks for the video without music ---- müziksiz video için teşekkür .
When you started forging the piece of mild steel at the end, there was a point where it started to look like a Moai statue (from Rapa Nui/easter island). Maybe that's an idea for a future forged figure? I'd love to watch how you'd make one!
