- Follow along as I make my take on a kindling splitter. A fun project with a lot of room for your own design ideas. I also utilize the "side set" tool I made in a previous video.

I couldn’t be bothered to look up what kindling splitter meant, so i sat through the whole video without a clue what kind of contraption this would become. Now i know and have to say: very nifty!
😊
Same.
Me too!!
same here
Ditto!
Glad we didn’t have one of those when I was a kid, my sisters would have stuck my head in it.
Ingenious! As always a beautiful piece of art Torbjiorn!
Ha ha! Thanks
I love the finger protection measures! Such clever. As always, a gorgeous fabrication. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you!
The hollow thump the wood makes is super satisfying. Nice piece, stylish and functional!!!
So true, both “stylish and functional “.👍
For me, it's the bouncy hammer on the anvil sound. Makes me happy.
Once I saw it in operation, my childhood self became extremely jealous. Forget my favourite hatchet, I needed one of these 20 years ago.
I swear I could sit and watch your work all day. What a cool and interesting tool to make a repetive task quick and easy!
I have to think if i lived in all that snow i would have become a ɓlack smith instead of a carpenter. Also that was one beautiful anvil. Never seen one that big before
Never seen a kindling splitter before. It does an amazing job!! Wish I had one about fifty years ago.
Absolutely beautiful contours and shapes. Your designs are so elegant while fulfilling the needs of the tool.
Thank you so much!
Blacksmithing is like sculpting, it's an art and only those who have an eye for art will see it. Beautiful tool made by artist not just blacksmith.
I LIKE THAT " --- IT WILL REPAY YOU FOR EVER NOW - THE HARD WORK MAKES EASY WORK LATER DOWN THE LINE -- THUMBS UP "
Thunder Bear never disappoints!
I am in complete agreement with you!!
Й
That is, indeed, what his name means. Quite a cool name... actually, i'm kinda jealous...scandinavian people get all the cool sounding viking names...
@@danijelovskikanal7017 I don’t know if that is your true name but it’s pretty damn cool also.
@@robertlassiter907 hahaha...it's not.
My name is daniel, i just added the "ovski" at the end, so it sounds funnier.
Kanal just means "channel" in Croatian
أعمالك من أجمل ما يكون اتابعك من العراق 🇮🇶
I suspected this video would get made after the side set tool was made. Very inspiring as always!
I like to see the Japanese and Torbjörn handling the iron and I am more and more impressed. Congratulations!!!!
Beautiful Torbjorn! Works great!
I always enjoy seeing one of your videos arrive. I've seen similar kindling splitters but nothing as beautiful and stylish as yours. Your blacksmithing channel is my very favorite. This spring I'm hoping to get started on my blacksmithing shop. Thank you for what you do. Many blessings my friend.
Glad to hear that! Good luck setting it up! Thanks
My father was a blacksmith and a welder. I watched him make and repair many, many things during my lifetime. I never saw him make a thing like this. I really wish he was alive to see this video. I think he would have tried to make one the next day. Because of my father I know a bit more about blacksmithing than most, and this device is a tool and a work of art too. I don't need kindling, but I still want one one of these devices.
❤ Thanks.
This Old Tony Sensei has taught you well in the ways of cutting metal.
Yes, the master is good....
Love how you people make things for soft wood.
Try doing that with Australian Jarrah or Karri.
That works a treat! Wonderful video as always! :)
Thanks Neil! It's a simple tool with it's limitations, but a fun build!
Your work and attention to detail is amazing
Thank you!
My son told me he wants to become a blacksmith, your a great inspiration to him. Thank you
:) Cool! Say hi to him from me!
No flattering in this comment. Simply awesome video. I really enjoyed this one.....final product.... beautiful
I’ve worked metal for close to 40 years a first rate job! Very well done!
Thanks Daniel!
Wonderful work, AND great cinematography. My granddad was a blacksmith from 1910 to 1957. But I never got to see him work. Vids like this help me to connect to him.
What an excellent way to spend a freezing day! Keeping warm while making a machine to cut wood to keep you warm.
Mate, thanks. Both my kid and I seriously get a kick outta your videos
Great! Say hi from me!
قمه في الروعه والجمال والبداع 👍👍👍⚘🕊🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🕊🕊 احله تحيه من أم درما ني سوداني
As always my friend, such a pleasure to watch. Wonderful craftsmanship and a spark of humor . You are such an asset to the UA-cam community.
Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Thank you very much Robert! Very kind words!
thanks for not talking. not that you shouldn't, or that we don't want you to, it just hits different
Thanks
@@torbjornahman Maybe I should have reworded. You do a great job at preserving the beautiful orchestra of sounds produced by shaping metal
I like how everyone of your projects fulfill the need to make life easier, faster, or more beautiful. we still need more of the three. Keep up the good work.....
Wieder ein Werkzeug hergestellt für eine perfekte Handwerkskunst......Danke für das Video ein Meister seines Faches
Very nice! That pine tar finish is pretty amazing. I have to confess I didn't know how it would be used until you showed it towards the end of the video.
Looks great 👍. Now build a splinter tweezer holder to mount next to it. They always come in handy.
Ha ha, good tip!
Even up to the very end before you put a piece of wood in there i had no idea what you made. Now i get it and i love it!
Thanks for the awesome content and a beautiful build. now i see what you intended to use the side set tool for!
Glad you liked it!
Same here. The whole video I was thinking; “Now how is this tool going to work?” 🤔
Amazing. I wish my dad had something like this when I was a kid in Alaska back in the 80's. Lol. Thank you for your videos.
When the algorithm just knows. Very satisfying watch
It does! :) Thanks
You don't make useful tools you make useful work of ART thank you and please keep it up .
Always a treat Torbjorn! Love the design, its efficiency, and handy to use. The artisanship in the curve, finger clearance, cleats and leaf petal anchor is what makes your work such a treasure. Wishing you and your family a warm and cozy time until spring arrives. ~PJ
Thanks PJ!! The sun is warming and the new solar panels are producing so spring is clearly around the corner.
This video doesn't just show what the set too was for, but answers a really old question I have had. I saw one of these in an antique shop and had no idea what it was. The shop owner couldn't figure it out either. Now I know what it is, and I think I might add something like this to my offerings when I actually start Smithing in about a month.
Cool!
I've wanted one of these for so long! And the fact that you can make one in 15 minutes means that I could pry make one in 30. 🙂
:)
This is a very safe way of splitting kindling, and the design of this one is excellent, but, it does require a lot of equipment to make! Many thanks for posting this. Chris B.
Incredible. I love it. Thank you, for sharing it
Utsökt hantverk, som vanligt!
Tack Patrik!
And we all simultaneously go "Oh, that's what that was for!"
:) :)
Learned about what a kindling splitter is .. and about pine tar as a finish! Thanks so much for this video. Good therapy too, my forge is down for a couple weeks while I build a shop for winter!
Thanks! Good luck with the shop!
@@torbjornahman You as well, Sir. Appreciate it!
you forge so clean and accurate, and it's always satisfying to watch.
Beautiful work, as always!
What a brilliant little tool
I have to admit that until the end I really didnt see how this was going to work. Thank you for sharing. Charles
I recall seeing a version of this several years ago and have been thinking of making one. It was a pleasure to watch you build this one. Wonderful.
I always enjoy your videos, thank you very much for sharing some of your work and life with us. I wish you and your family all the best!
Thanks Michael!
Als altem Metaller wärmt das mein Herz. Danke! As an old metalworker myselfe this warms my heart. Thank you!
Ich bin auch ein alter Metaller aber der andere Sorte! 🤟🤟😁
Very nice work. A master at his trade.
Your videos are mesmerizing and expertly produced. And your craftsmanship speaks for itself. The other blacksmiths I watch on UA-cam have either slowed down production or stopped entirely so I appreciate the fact that you’re still producing these great videos.
Thanks Jay!
Nice and handy tool, pleasure to watch. Totally Åwesome as always!👍🏻
Samurai kindling splitter, nicely done, another beautiful work of usable Art
I am a novice blacksmith myself and we are just moving to Colorado this year. Totally going to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Cool!
En tocken får dä bli på vägga brevé spisen !
Fantastiskt snyggt arbete Torbjörn !
Its all in the details as usual 🤩👏🏻✨
Glad to see you back! This is a beautiful piece. I assume it would be useful for making tool handle blanks as well.
You Sir, are far too clever for your own good. (A Yorkshire compliment) Enjoyed that video, looking forward to your next one.
:) Thanks Phil! ...got me thinking of the "four yorkshiremen" sketch...ha ha
this came up in my recommendations - this is what UA-cam was ment for - showcasing a work of beauty and function - thank you for sharing this with us
Cool, thanks!!
It’z spelt “meant”, nat ‘ment’.
Un magnífico trabajo. Muchas felicidades! Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.❤️
OK....I have to be honest ....I had no clue how it would work...but that works the treat!
Love to hear to hear sounds of those hammers!!!
Great job as always!!!
Absolutely the best metal worker in the business. JC🌵
:) Thanks John!
Hej Torbjörn! Jag sliter med posttraumatisk stress, så det är mycket ångest, stress, flashbacks och panikångest i min vardag. Men sedan jag fann din kanal och dina videor så har jag hittat något som hjälper mig att roa ned mig när jag får "flashbacks" och tror att jag är tillbaka i de situationer som mitt trauma kommer ifrån. Dina videor lugnar mig och får mig tillbaka till verkligheten. Jag har slitit med att finna något som hjälper mig med att just få mig tillbaka till verkligheten och att roa panikångest attacker, och dina videor har blivit min räddning. *Jag kan inte tacka dig nog.* Jag älskar ditt hantverk, det är 100% min smak - det har lite utav den där Småländska allmoge smide-känslan som jag växte upp runt omkring. Hoppas du ser den här kommentaren, men om inte så har jag i varje fall försökt tacka dig för din hjälp. Jag kan inte sätta ord på hur tacksam jag är över att ha funnit din kanal, men jag börjar med att säga; TACK!
MVH Theresa
Wow, tack Theresa! Ledsen att det tog två veckor för mig att svara bara... Fantastiskt kul om man kan hjälpa någon på det sättet.
Восхищаюсь этим человеком!
Wow, what an awesome kindling splitter!!!
I have never in my life made an angle grinder cut that straight.
More stickers, going to need a mailing address.
Indeed! Anyone interested is welcome to contact me with a PM on IG/FB or on my web page! :) :)
Me waking up to snow first time of the year in October 6:15.
The "where did all the snow go" in December 13:50 😂
😂
Even better than using a fro to make kindling. A hatchet is both the most common and most dangerous way. You're a smart man who keeps all his fingers. Well done.
That is the coolest thing. Nicely made!
I always enjoy you craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing.
Greetings from NE rural Ohio, USA 🇺🇸
Firstly - cool project! Secondly - those transitions were fun :) Thirdly - you had 4 seasons in one day!! XD
I could use that splitter all day. Very Nice build
I so need one of those! Brilliant video. Thank you.
Bloody brilliant 👏 I learn something new everytime I watch your videos
That's a nice tool. That will be very useful.
Thunder Bear strikes again!!😂💪👍👍👍
Precise workmanship ...... WOW !
That gives me a couple great ideas for my sister's homestead kitchen. Awesome work Buddy.
Awesome! Thank you!
Again golden hands show us a perfect inspired creation!All the best maiestro!
That was incredible! 👍
Better then the old boyscout hatchet we used
I've never seen this kind of thing before but now I want one. Would really make the process of getting kindling a lot smoother
I didn't know you made Souls borne weapons! It seriously looks and sounds like one.
Really splendid piece.
Most Amazing Channel on UA-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) Thanks
Nice never seen a kindling splitter like that before.🤓👍
Thanks. Really appreciate that you share your craftsmanship doing useful domestic stuff. Imo, it's much more fun than swords and gigantic knives (with all respect to people who love cold weapon :-)
Thank you very much Dmitry! It means a lot!
Nice project. And probably suoer helpful around a smiths shop
works better than I expected. Definitely good looking. thanks, I enjoyed watching
Great job ... I need one of these in my life !
Blacksmithing skills don't happen overnight. Thanks for taking us along and job well done. Regarding splitter, I make my kindling with 16" straight grain Fir and my Sager Double bit Cruiser's Axe.
Splendid. Simply splendid.
That is one of the most clever tools i have seen!
Jumped to UA-cam as soon as i saw on your Instagram that the video is live on here.
Great work as always.
Have a good weekend,
And much love, man!
Awesome! Thank you!
