Honestly, I dont mind the noise, this is just hauntingly beautiful and relaxing
Very impressive industry, those hammers and the furnace the iron workers and the articles they make, something to be proud of. Thanks for posting.
This has been a great look into both the artistic and the industrial aspects of shaping hot iron/steel.
So nice to see something from the land of the north. Hope someday I can visit and see first hand the forging process in person. Keep up the great work !!!
Im surprised how much control those guys had with the large power hammers. Very interesting stuff.
Yes, they are pretty well tuned. You just need some time to get to know the machine.
You have been truly blessed with this wonderful gift. For me this is very therapeutic. Thank you Torbjörn. God Bless.
In my country I am a technician and I admire, as you, take care of, promote and love every trade.
Thank you for taking a walk through your workshops. I was almost there.
Shoulder to Shoulder, Trades build the world. Respect.
It's funny, we just had our New England Fall meetup and the one power hammer we had at the meet could possibly have been heated and forged in that beautiful beast of a hammer. The presenter using it was underwhelmed. Either way, that was an amazing trip and I'm thoroughly jealous.
:) Thanks. You should visit!
thank for sharing Torbjörn, very interesting. I liked they way they blow of the scale from the dyes. Just a little push on a button and the scale is gone.. really nice
That was cool to see the guys work with those huge power hammers. What an amazing trip!
For one of the most impressive videos on manufacturing blacksmithing ever saw
What for a great job
Thank‘s Torhäm
Thank‘s to this man and his sons
It makes me interessting to see Sweden sometimes
😎🇱🇺👍
Their efficiency with the power hammer is amazing! They are true masters of their craft.
They truly are.
Thank you for sharing your videos. This one was incredible.
I enjoyed seeing the trip through the country and the items that were for sale.
amazing to see what's out there thanks for posting
Very cool, really liked the forging of that big rivet or pin that they were making. Wow
DEEP DEEP DARKLY SHADED GREEN WITH ENVY !!
I COULD WATCH ALL DAY, AND PLAY FOR A LIFETIME WITH THESE TOOLS !!
Sadly, I fear no casting sand, scrap bins, and patterns for casting accessories !!
Very enjoyable collection of memories. What a wonderful bunch of people, too! Thank you for sharing this.
Great footage! This really takes me back to my college days although the power hammers here are 3 times the size I was trained on
Realy enjoy your videos real joy to watch I work at a forge in sheffield not many left now
Thanks. Ok, that's sad...
yes considering what the name ment in the past, sheffield cutlery and all the youtube videos out there of their products, its like the steel towns here in the usa, pittsburg used to have lots of them now there is but one, and canton city ohio a shadow of its former self but still has timkin which makes the roller bearings for trains and locomotives as well as aerospace grade specialty metals, they still have a few forges though like solmet technologies, and canton drop forge though, on the other hand smaller mini mills have popped up and there are still many knife makers around, but its not the production forging it was, most of what we have around here is small foundries or machine shops of which there is no shortage of, and car parts makers mostly cnc thesedays though.
6:55 looks like a cow cheese, beautiful Sweden, and the power hammers wow such amazing thing!
Thank you for keeping history alive for our kids!
That was fun.
It reminded me of when I was 17 (in 1967!). My Step-dad worked in a small steel & fabricating company across the street from where we lived.
My first job there was working with a hole punch. I sat on a chair with my foot on a larger pedal, and when I pushed down, a powerful steel punch would come down and punch a hole in a steel sheet.
Later, I spray painted steel beems.
One day, another employee wasn't paying attention and got two fingers chopped off in some kind of chopper.
Cool summer job.
Thanks!
Thank you for taking us along! Wonderful !!
Thanks!
Thanks, for sharing sir(for me first starting from Thailand )
Neat video. Thanks for posting!
"Us ordinary mortals." Yeah, I know what you mean. I got a chance earlier this month to work in a 19th-century blacksmith shop, one of a few remaining here in Minnesota, at a cast iron pour/blacksmiths meetup. Getting to play with somebody else's bigger and better toys is a rare bit of fun. Those Beche power hammers are massive!
:) Indeed
Always good to see another Minnesota native in the comments!
Guess that makes three of us. All the videos i see of Sweden and Norway always look like "up north" here in Minnesota.
11:56 Granbergsdal Hytta - very impressive historic smithy!!! Thank you for uploading this gemstone!
Thanks!
thank you, it was very interesting.... as an IT worker sitting whole day in the office, with backpain and headache I would like to make this....
Very interesting video again! I had to re-watch how casually Roger and his sons handled these massive power hammers while the visitors have massive respect for it.
Thanks. It may look casual but you really have to have the brain engaged.
Nothing more beautiful than watching the PROS go at it!
thanks for the tour Torbjorn, en stor stark tack.
Ser ut att ha varit en givande roadtrip. Hoppas du fick idéer till nya projekt ;)
The speed at which he draws that huge billet! What power! Very nice video, thanks for taking us along.
Thanks
Excellent video. Thoroughly enjoyed all of it - especially the big hammer work.
Steve
Great! Thanks
makes my day thank you , this video alive my memories of 70,s when I was a kid of 9 10 year old and watched very deeply this kind of hammer in (Lahore) Pakistan at a blacksmith's workshop for hours .
Cool!
Thank you for making and sharing this video :-)
could not wait to the end of the video to comment...beautiful work!
greetings fom sunny Mexico!
Thanks for sharing your trip I enjoyed it with you. Awesome👏✊👍
Fantastic video. I'd love to be a blacksmith just to operate one of those machines.
now i need to see that someday ... thanks torb
This happened on my birthday. Forge on my European counterparts. Gotta love when experienced steel smashers unite! 🔥🔨
thanks for sharing such amazing history!
That looks like you all have a good time. Wish I lived in that part of the world.
i am a machinist by day and blacksmith dreamer at night.. i love watching these two guys working...
I’m also a machinist by day,blacksmith by night.
Thanks fort sharing!
My jaw damn near hit the floor around the 5:55 mark when I saw that peddle operated (I think) pneumatic scale remover I was like “that’s so cool oh my god.”
That looks like just a pair of opposing air hammers. Pretty cool idea.
Que grande Maestro!! Buenisimo el video! Gracias!!
+Torbjörn Åhman You are truly blessed to live in such an amazing country!!! I will visit Sweden one day and stop at every Smithy along the way. The countryside is so beautiful and from what I read it's simply just an amazing country to visit. Great video by the way!!! I especially loved the Blast Furnace towards the end of the video!! I absolutely loved it. I wish places like that and other historical sites here in the united stated were as appreciated as that one and others. As always, this was an amazing video!! (even though I have seen it many many times along with your other videos)
Thank you Keenan. Yes we are blessed. Practically every inch of the country is accessible through what we call "allemansrätten". No private properties and public trails. Just show respect and you can go anywhere. We have a lot of historical sites especially when it comes to the process of iron making, since that has been a huge part of our export for many years. Sadly there isn't enough means to maintain it all and often you have to rely on nonprofit work to keep them standing.
That would be a hard days work. Enjoyed it, thanks for posting it.
That BIG GREEN BULLDOG, at 6:00...is really something else....woof woof.
Granbergsdale is quite an amazing relic, the chimney tower at 12:06 is unusual in having the on end brickwork, (bricks laid this way are called "soldiers").
:) Yes it is! I suppose the bricks are laid that way for extra strength.
@@torbjornahman I don't think so...it's VERY unusual, it must be an outer skin with a stronger bond beneath, it was likely (i suspect) laid later to insulate the heat that may have been escaping....ive never seen it bebore, as a mason, thats a first...lol.
@@scottleft3672 Yes, it's an outer layer for sure. There is probably 2-3 feet of "insulating" material behind it.
@@torbjornahman That makes sense, the bricks were likely difficult to get delivered back then, they were likely being ...frugal...the best and longest lasting brickwork is laid on a corse of granite, it works like a damp-corse, Northern cities in Lithuania and such, have lots of it...over 500 years the bricks have often lasted....anyway, cheers.
Sweeden looks amazing! Beautiful countryside, biiiig power hammers, skillful forging, I want to go there. Greetings from Canada!
You should go! :)
It looks like blacksmiths in Sweden are friendly and have a good time! It is the same here!
I'd never heard of Granbersdal before, very similar to my last name! Mange takk!
Got suprised when my home area poped up on recommended on youtube xD
Born and raised in Granbergsdal.
Ha ha, trevligt!
Sweden looks like a beautiful country, so green and picturesque. Looked like a good time was had by all at your blacksmiths conference, do you attend every year? I wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of that lady blacksmith, I bet she could pack a punch if she wanted to!!! (LOL) Regards from the land of Aus.
:)
Amazing, forging works can be combined with music, enjoy your job. enjoy your life.
Very instructive! Thanks for sharing
Que belleza ver a esa mujer trabajando el acero, cuantas como ella habrá?. Hermosa exposición de arte en hierro..
It is such an order, clean approach and Forge! and the men "danc" in great harmony. Economy in a pure example
I tried too much heartuchin n hardworking 👏👏👏👏🖒🖒 🛠🛠🔩🔧🔗🌡🔥🌡🌡🔥🔥💖💖💖💯✔🎖🎖 thank you very much for sharing your video !
I pictured you riding a Trike with a hand forged frame and big ol' honking chopper forks waaaaaaay out in front. Or a giant 4x4 "Truck from Hell" looking thing. Looks like you had an awesome time.
Lovely material control on those big hammers 👍
Fascinating, thanks for sharing
Healthy looking Nordic blacksmith lady, we need more of them!
Hello my friend. I enjoyed this video a great deal. I was amazed and impressed with the blond gal and her blacksmith talent. My ex worked for Luhrjensen in their smoker factory in Hood River Oregon and hated when she had to work on the rack assembly welder because it splayed small sparks and she had wear leather sleeves. In watching yours and in this video, I'm trying to understand how the power hammer ram moves up and down with such a fluid, controllable action. I could find nothing researching them. Thank You Torbjorn, Keith L.
:) It's the nature of air hammers. It's compressed air that moves the ram.
So your motor on the back operates an internal compressor? @@torbjornahman
Yes, it drives a piston in the back cylinder that acts like a compressor and via clever valves the air is pushed both up and down in the ram cylinder at the front.
Looks like y'all had a hell of a good time! I really enjoyed the scenes.
Great, yes we had a great time!
I work(as a hobby in wood,) but love watching black smithing/forging videos...There is a new forge in our village her in Normandy and I have yet to go check it out and say hello....and show him your videos....rr
Cool. Thanks!
Very interesting! Thank you! But what happens at 13:43?? With all these hammers and tools there are plenty of opportunities to get a real blue thumb.
He he... maybe a good coverup for the days miss hits...
Cool. I worked as a blacksmith. I liked it very much. Super.
Thank You for the Tour of your Beautiful Country!
Many thanks
Looked like a fun place to be to me! Thanks for posting................
This was awesome, I'm going to have to watch it like 3 more times
Ha ha! Great
All I know is I want every single piece of equipment in this video!
👍
Wow man! great video.! What are those monsters of a hammer? I didnt get around to adjusting the hammer but i will next week.!
what brand hammer are you using ?
Nice to see you have fun.
Those power hammer are amazing. Wish I could visit.
Hey man, thanks for the Roger Lund shop tour! Been following him on instagram, very cool indeed.
Yes. Many cool toys... :)
Great video!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I loved my blacksmith course at Gransförs Bruk
That was really interesting, thank you for sharing it!
Thanks. I wasn't sure it was good enough to share...
Your videos are always a great joy to watch, so it doesn't matter if it's something a little different. Keep up the good work!
Great video. Good to see some industrial smiths forging.
Thanks.
Wonderful! More. More.
Det var ta mig fasen inga små hammare, vilken jäkla slagstyrka O.o.
Tack för rundturen!
Jo tack. 500kg som kommer farande är inte att leka med. :)
wow,those power hammers are so musical.
Tack,nu måste jag ju ta mig i kragen och åka dit nästa år
:-).
Ha ha, ja det tycker jag!
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Did you take your big rocks to Rodger's? His hammers would make short work making gravel! Excellent trip! Never saw the upsetting on Rodger's videos. Learned new way to open a bottle of beer too! I'll pass on the painted nails however. That look won't do in the corrals! Thank you Torbjorn!
Ha ha. We were just talking about stupid exercises under the hammers... Roger has seen people almost getting killed by flying shrapnel from various items put under a hammer. Not in his workshop but still....
Really I am Lucky. Because the above meeting getting me into the best Black smithy works family. GREETINGS from SREE MADHA SMITHY WORKS. INDIA TAMILNADU.
oh hey i subscribed to roger's channel like four years ago, haven't seen a video from him in a while. i wonder if he has another channel. good to see him keeping busy.
Good. I actually think he started another channel, not sure.
Greets from Poland, I love watch your channel.
Great! Thanks
Amazing hammers! That's a great shop.
Beautiful video, Torbjörn.
Smile the yellow hammer work would be for your workshop. :-D
Wow, it was a very old smithy, was it powered by water? Such blacksmith works look like I find very beautiful, because the old craftsmanship is.
Thanks. Yes the blast furnace plant was powered by water as all were back in the days.
What a cool trip! Have fun.
Mais nostálgico impossível.Quantos talentos!
I was delighted to see that even Sweden has road works, quite made my day as I live in pot hole central. But I bet you don't call them road works, you call them road improvements. ;-)
fabulous. and the fireman's halligan bar? Will you make it?
:) Not sure yet...
Very impressive machinery. That said...I was shocked to see several guys not wearing safety glasses.
Amazing machines. Like having a friendly giant round to help...
Swedes and metal are made for each other. And that Naver has some beer skills!!
@12:51 my eyes hurt, I didnt know it was an ABBA meetup as well :^)
