Blacksmithing - Making a hasp latch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2019
- In this video I forge a traditional hasp latch using only hand tools. A quite simple project but it still involves a lot of steps and techniques.

What really sets you apart from similar channels is that you showcase the sort of day-to-day projects that take up most of a blacksmith's time. It's really interesting stuff. Like forging a counter sink. That was just cool, and looked easier than using a drill bit (if less precise).
I have watched this video many times every time I watch it I picked up some thing else that I missed before
you were an absolute artist I’ve told you that several times I enjoy your work.
Please keep the videos coming
Wish you and your family the best in these crazy times
And may God bless you and yours

Wow, thank you!
That’s the most beautiful door latch I have ever seen. Beautiful design, beautifully done.
Nel 1981 mi sarebbe piaciuto andare all'ottima scuola dei mestieri che c'era nel mio paese, qui in Calabria. Invece, ho proseguito con gli studi classici, la laure in giurisprudenza e, adesso, sono un modesto avvocato che tra una norma e un articolo di legge, si ricarica guardando video sull'artigianato. Però, solo i migliori come questo. Bravo ancora una volta Torbjörn Åhman!
I loved your video. No electro-music, no narration dribble, just a man who knows how to forge. Very refreshing.
Torbjörn, I work at an axe/knife throwing range in Canada and we love your videos! I play your videos on the TV in the range and always see people, customers, members, employees getting sucked into watching you create these legendary projects. Thank you so much, I'll keep showing as many of your videos as possible and spreading the word!
Ha ha, very cool. Thanks man!
@Lowtryx - Are you at Maniax in Montreal? I was there last week.
@@wmillios No, I'm in Ontario!
@@wmillios No I was at Rage
... g.
Oj så många gånger jag tittat på denna video! Här finns så mycket information och väl utförd presentation, tack!
Kul, tack!
Hi Torbjorn, I am a woodworker and at times try to get creative with my projects. I really enjoy your creativity with metal.
Thank you!
Another great video, where a hammer, an anvil and a hot oven are making the music.
And as usual, Torbjörn is a great conductor !!
Symphony in Ferro.
Your videos (and workmanship) are fantastic! I could sit for hours watching you work and produce these works of art (and I am...). It's so satisfying to watch a true craftsman at work. Great stuff, keep them coming!!
Thank you!!!
Mr. Åhman you're brilliant. I'm addicted to your videos. Never stop posting...love from India.❤️
I really like how all of the components of this were forged, including the staples.
I'm in the process of opening a shop in Tennessee in the next year that provides custom carpentry, blacksmithing, and other custom products. Everyone makes knives and I've never had an interest in that path in blacksmithing. I prefer more useful products. I really like the large variety of items you make that are useful and can be used as a starting point for offerings.
It's also refreshing to watch a smith instead of listening. Your hammer work says volumes more than a running commentary ever could.
Cool! Thank you so much!
To go from 'concept' to 'execution' takes care and planning. You videos are rather 'deceitful' in that the 'idea' is rather clear, but your skill in production is sometimes 'hidden' from the viewer. This is rather wonderful skill and craftsmanship on demonstration here, and I love every minute of it. Wonderful you.
Thanks!
With the time delay between Sweden and Australia I’m usually able to enjoy my morning coffee with your new uploads. Always a great start to the day :)
Great!!
The 'thumbs down' are actually 'thumbs up' from the other side of the equator.
Beautiful work! You are inspiring!
Ah, alright! Thanks :)
So I was in the forge reproducing the project and my daughter came in. She started to help me. We stopped and just made a simple hook. We had big fun. She has had many problems over the years, but it all melted away and we made this little hook she was do proud of.
Smiting is a wonderful thing, Thanks for supporting this craft

That's great! Thanks
Our snowdrops are nearly finished already.
:-(
Worth a SUB. No brainless music, and no tiresome introduction telling us what we are about to see.
An easy 10 minute watch... 20 minutes? Another good sign, well done, keep it up.
Perfect YT stuff.
Exactly
Straight forward. Honest. Work. It's why I keep coming back. Thank You for sharing your craft with us.
Your work is worthy of praise.
I like people like you. The work should be done from the heart.
Thank You Sir
The thoroughness at the end, painting the door around the new latch, is what separates people who are merely good at something and a true craftsman
I'm so impressed by your craftman ship. Well done Torbjörn.
I love that even your utilitarian items have some artistic flair. Keep up the great work. You're a joy to watch. Cheers!
A beautiful looking latch. Thank you for demonstrating your skills, and also for your ability to encourage others to have a go at forge work.
Somehow your video's are so tranquil.
Whenever my mind is racing I look at one of your video's and come back to earth and relax. It is so nice to see the whole process, from idea to completion. I could watch for hours and enjoy every bit of it!
Thank you John!
I enjoy your videos, there is something cathartic about watching you work and how there is such a rhythm to how you take raw materials and turn them into something amazing and functional. Your level of expertise is over the top.
That is the absolute coolest looking hasp that I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Whoever would have thought that so much banging of metal could be so relaxing. Amazing work again Torbjörn
Hello, Thank You very much for Your work, every video is fascinating, it is impossible to break away. I am a car mechanic (coachman), and the forge attracts - as art. It's incredible how a masterpiece appears from a piece of metal. Subscribed to Your channel. All blessings. Hello from Ukraine.
Thank you!
Love the design, very beautiful made. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
I love your job, it's a real pleasure to watch!
I served my apprenticeship as a blacksmith ,long since retired ,only simple when you know what your doing.👍totally enjoyed it.
first thing you do in make all your own tools.
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm starting my workshop. Your job is incredible and I learn a lot from you. Thank you!
Thanks. Good luck!
wonderful twenty minutes of pure art, thank you
Excellent work, congratulations 👍👍👍
Even your name says Master. You are truly enjoyable to watch. I'm a satisfied subscriber.
:) Great, thanks!!
I think every shed needs a hasp like that. Very nice.
100% quality as usual. The Pine Tar looks nice. When I saw the paintbrush touching up where the old latch had been I thought to myself...Then I spit tea all over myself when you had painted the whole door. If you're going to do something, do it right. You do this well.
Ha ha, thanks!!
Beautiful. I love the freedom your skill gives you. "I need a latch. Let's make a latch."
I finally made one of these today. A frog in the pool and my wife’s pleas to come rescue it distracted me long enough to burn the large piece. Usually it’s during a beer run to the fridge that I burn my work. 😝 It turned out okay for my first attempt.
:) Great!
Blacksmithing poetry! Form , function and simplicity combined.
That is one of the coolest latches I have ever seen! Beautiful!
Ваше видео это бальзам для души! Впечатление от видео как будто посмотрел целый фильм, результат вашей творческой работы заслуживает уважения! В общем так держать! Успехов, здоровья Вам и вашим близким!!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful! Love watching you work the metal from raw material to what you’ve imagined in your mind!
🤜🤛
Здравствуйте,Торбъёрн!Всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваши видео.Всё в немногословном,скандинавском стиле:).Хотя всё понятно и без слов.Желаю успехов и здоровья,Вам и вашим близким.С уважением Сергей.P.S.(Russian language)
Thank you!!
Do not mention it :)
It´s always a pleasure to see your work,cheers from Portugal.
Omg,this is way better than buying the same kind of locking mechanism at the store!this has style to it!!!
Love watching something useful appear out of steel
I love the little storytelling elements!
Ничего не скажешь.
Просто шедевр.
Версия необычная.
Сделано на века.
Руки талантливые.
Однозначно - лайк.
Всех благ.
Респект и уважуха.
Another wonderful video, thanks for providing such enjoyable content.
That door latch is great. 👍
Yeah, after this one, it is obvious that you provide the most valuable videos in this topic on YT.
Just when I was thinking paint the door there you go, nice project great to see it done with just your hands, thanks!
wow video quality is amazing
A wonderful compliment to your shed.
:)
I greatly enjoy and appreciate you work, it shows actual problems a normal blacksmith would see, making a lock, or other tools
It was really relaxing watching you forging this very beautiful latch.
If I go to your house someday, I don't want to know what's in the cabin, the latch is interesting enough for me, Hehehe ! Thanks for sharing !
found one in the river mud, sometime from 1750 to 1850, 11 3/4 inch long. now rust removed and wax. now, with your video, ii now know what it is. Thanks
Здравствуйте. Совершенно случайно на youtube увидел Ваши видеоролики о кузнечном деле. Очень давно их смотрю. Мне они очень понравились потому что, сразу видно руку мастера и человека любящего своё дело! Удачи Вам в вашем не лёгком, но очень интересном и увлекательном деле. Жду от Вас ещё интересных видео о кузнечном деле, уж очень здорово как у вас всё получается.
Thanks!!
That is awesome. Beats any old hasp from a hardware store.
Damm. And again I fall to sleep during your video. It´s just so relaxing.
Loved the vid, nice to see new flowers popping up and snow shovels being put away. This will be a perfect project for my new shop in the spring.
This doesn't guy doesn't have to say much he is a master! Thanks for showing your talent.
Well done my friend. You’re good at doing what you do!
beautiful work!
I don't know if you do anything besides smithing and YouTubing, but you were made for this stuff! I love your work, and your presentations!
Thanks!!
Som vanligt den högsta möjliga kvaliteten på både hantverket och videoproduktionen. UA-cams bästa smed!!
Tack!
Great work!
cara, esse video é maravilhosos, sem músicas, sem trilhas sonoras , somente a bigorna e o martelo, que coisa linda !
bem observado. Tem o som bg que reforça o entendimento da ação. Trilhas, efeitos imagéticos e de edição, roubam a atenção ao que se está mostrando. abçs
Nice work Sir, proper blacksmithing
What can I say ,Blacksmithing at it's best. I love to see you make a set of horseshoes if possible 👍
Thanks. Never made one... It takes years of training to do a proper one. I would probably look like a fool if I tried...
@@torbjornahman sorry didn't think. I was an apprentice farrier some 45 year's ago. Just love watching you working with your hands god bless 👍
Once again, another work of art! and as always a well done video!
Thanks!
Fantastic work! Thanks for the great extend you take for making this so enjoyable. The learning process goes along!
And the plus is that there is no anoying music. Much apreciated.
The thing that always most impresses me about good blacksmiths is they always make their own tools. Whether is a jig or something permanent, it’s always satisfying see you tackle a problem using your own tools.
That's the essence of blacksmithing. Making tools and solving problems.
Bravo master Thorbjörn!!! Perfect)))
Parabéns Amigo !
Você Domina Mesmo Essa Arte de Ferreiro !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What beautiful work. So simple, yet so very elegant. You are truly a master craftsman.
...So cool to watch production in such an awesome trade, and the craftsman to do it justice!
your job is so fantastic i am your big fan
The work of a Master my friend
Awesome job. Fancy & functional.
simple, elegant and functional....Can't go wrong with that combo!
Beautiful result!
Thanks!!
Good job my friend 😉
I have been following you now for quite a while. Impressive projects are the norm. Watching the genius flow from your mind into your work is always a treat. Excellent bit of crafting sir.
Thank you!!
once again...amazing piece of Art Craft! much better than anything you could buy in a big box hardware store!
I especially liked the ballpien countersink technique.
Good job and creative 😁👍
YOU! ARE AN ARTIST!
Thanks Torbjörn. You are a real blacksmith master.
Ein sehr sympatischer Mensch !
Спасибо тебе за труд! С большим удовольствием смотрю твои работы! Удачи)
Работа хорошая а крепление к двери и раме некудышнее. Тихо гвоздодером вырвпть можно
This is the most coolest idea for a latch and forging and Smithing the whole thing with just a hammer is so great and exciting to watch .
If you wore a black leather apron and sported a tough beard..you would looked like a character straight out of the Old English era movie...
Thanks! :)
Superbly done! Love the styling and clean design.
no widać pasję w każdym walnięciu dzięki za pracę przy tym filmie oraz za pracę nad zamknięciem szacunek pozdrawiam z polski
Love it!
Хорошо вам с Гольфстримом)) Весна...,а у нас ещё ХОЛОД!)) Снега!И Медведи!))))
Sweet! I will have to make one of these for our barn door!
Been wanting to do that for over a year and didn't have the right idea! Yours is a great idea and it is not only functional but, nice looking, too!
Thanks! I really enjoy your videos!
Great! Good luck and thanks!
We really need to text more lol. Great video as ever and I hope you like the new brushes? (when they arrive.)
:) :) I'm sure I will. Thanks
@@torbjornahman , Daniel Moss is one of the kuulest dudes for sure. He's one of the biggest reasons I am going to drive 1000 miles to meet him at Quadstate in September to watch his hammer classes. Good Lord willing and the creek dont rise lol
Now if only we could convince you to come...
O. M. Gosh that would be THE MOST AWESOME, SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC thing in the entire world of blacksmithing UA-cam creators!!! Like a whole inch of the finest chocolate frosting on a primo cake!
Anyhow, a man can dream cant he??
Peace and prosperity to you sirSir, Crawford out
I watched you making his brush Dan.
I loved the reference!
Where can I buy one?
