      You actually thought the video was about making a gnome. He is a blacksmith. It was really about making the tools to make a gnome. You can’t just make tools for no reason.

    I am fascinated by your ability to combine heavy blacksmithing techniques with sophisticated, even delicate design. Add to that a sense of humor and an amazing mix is created, which I look forward to every time.

    Torbjörn, I love how you paired the new gnome up with the votive candle holders you made some time ago (6 years ago already!). You inspire me to get off my rear and set my forge up again. There is something about making hot steel move the way you want and making what's in your minds eye come to life.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for all the fantastic content you provide to all of us out here on the interwebs...

    These are what I remember from the Christmas Eve dinners given by my grandparents (who emigrated from Sweden around 1900):
    gräslökssill
    gräddsill
    Julgröt
    gamla gubba
    Svea ost
    Kumminost
    potatiskorv
    Bruna bönor
    köttbullar
    Göteborgskorv
    Santa Lucia (min lillasyster med krona av ljus)
    I hope I got most of these right. It was a battle with online translating.

    I’ve followed you for sometime and enjoyed the viewing of your posts. Not sure why though, this video was so enjoyable to me. I gained knowledge of where you live and play in your shop. Seeing how you had the foresight to vision a Gnome from a cylinder of steel was amazing. You even knew what tool you would have to build to aid in the forming process. It all was strange and unknown as to what was going to come from it, but once you added the nose it was clear. What a beautiful sculpture. If ever you get tired of it, i would like to own it. You are an amazing artist/blacksmith. Thanks.
