You are an awesome dad! There are great dads that support their child in track and field, but not many of them can say they can build equipment for their kids to use!
Our junior high school's art teacher was gathering results from an event when a wayward discus from another event was released about a half hour off target and struck him directly in his mouth. His recovery was long with multiple surgeries. The netting looks like a great option especially when accuracy has yet to meet all of the athletes.
SELL THESE!!!! That’d are actually far to beautiful to watch one get destroyed by my kids. Our 10$ frisbee is just fine. Incredibly precise and design once again! It truly is a thing of beauty.!!!
So cool, love the project. Now, when I think about it - there's plenty of hammer forging videos, but no videos of forging trowing hammer. Either olimpic style or classic highland games style would be awesome.
My grandpa was skilled wood carpentor now I'm metal. Different creatives and approaches are in my DNA . Everytime I doing shortcuts for long time required work or small technical work in my work room. Great work 👍👍👍 your
*WOW that is so AWESOME. Your son throws really well... I guess in a few years time we will be seeing him in a future Olympics. He will remember this moment forever, that his dad made him a discus just for him. So what sport is your daughter interested in.... something you could make for her... oh I know.... hammer throwing.*
@@torbjornahman *Goodness you and your wife are producing some future sportspeople... Well making a Javelin, might test you, due to it's length.... but I would love to see you try to make one. But one that she would know was hers & it would stand out from all the others. But maybe also make her a hollow football (to keep it light) on a wooden stand to be put up on her shelf in her bedroom too. These are the things that the kids will remember that their dad made for them... to be passed on down to the future generations... as they will stand the test of time forever.*
@@torbjornahman Wow, so that comment elsewhere about you making a javelin next... maybe you will! Do they know how cool their dad is?? :D (Or rather, do they see you as being even half as cool as all of us do?) Because... wow.

I threw in H.S. and college.. it's all in the hips baby!! Get a good twist in the waist and sling that thing at a good angle.. Speed is your friend more than power is. Best of luck! Wonderful video Torbjörn.
Hello my friend, I am one of your followers from Algeria, and I have watched almost all of your videos, and allow me to express my admiration and appreciation for you and your beautiful and respected family, and my fascination with everything you do and make, especially what is related to iron and fire ... I wish you and your family a beautiful and happy holiday, and I ask God Almighty to bless you all... Thanks.
TIL - I had no idea how a discus was made. - Didn't know that I needed to to know this. - Watched the entire video to the very end, and was thoroughly fascinated. - Loved the fact that we got to see everyone throw it. Completely satisfying! Thank you for posting this!
Starting with an enormous ring, part of me thought to myself, "Ooooh, just imagine some chainmail at that size!" Far more trouble than it's worth, but an amusing dream to think of it stretched across or between some buildings.
A great pleasure, as always! I think this is the first time I have ever seen someone resaw plywood. Very nice result, and fun to watch the testing. Discus throwing looks even harder when you see it close-up.
Interesting project. There is a top from Malaysia/SE Asia called a Gasing, and a couple of other variations of spellings. It has a metal ring around the outside rim, and about the same size as the discus you made. Add a central axle and the rope they use to toss them. They spin for several minutes in bare dirt. I have been pondering making one for some time. Most are not as high tech as your discus.
This is my first ever UA-cam comment. Ever. Torbjörn, you are a craftsman of enviable skill. It has been a pleasure to live vicariously through your videos. Your farm, your greenhouse, your family, and especially your blacksmithing is a pleasure to watch. Truly, I hope to meet you some day and shake your calloused hand, sir.
No kidding: Just one hour before I had to check if I didnt miss any of your videos. Good to see you're still with us! Your videos are always a wholesome experience 👌😎
And suddenly you've got powerful young adults. It's been a delight to see the little ones go from the angle iron pussycat stage to competition discus throwing, and for them to have a dad that provides everything between. Good 'ealth, mate. John Warner, Australia
What can I say🤷♂️😀 You did it again😀 Your kids are lucky to have you, Torbjörn😊👍 And to the followers of Torbjörn, I want to tell you he's just as nice in real life as you see him on his videos😀👌
"Tem que comer muito feijão com arroz pra jogar esse disco" 🤣🤣🤣 You has to work hard to be as good as your son 🤣🤣🤣 Great job! I love so much your vídeos!
I have never seen a discus. To actually not only see one but, watch how one is made was rather fulfilling I knew you were going to demonstrate it being used. I figured some big, burly discus thrower. To see you and your kids instead....heartwarming! I always chuckle when observing your magic! Overall another great video!
Lot more interesting and complicated than I'd thought that would involve more wood and just a thin rim of metal on the edge. You might even say 'It Turned out well'
When knowledge, desire and skill are combined, the result is magnificent! This man does everything perfectly! And watering the flowers and making a souvenir! Bravo!,👏👏👏
Man, you really got the old brain trying to think back 40+ years, trying to remember what one of these was like as I was watching you start with the outer iron ring and to be quite honest, couldn't remember a thing. Very nicely done and very cool to see how one is made. So I guess as your kids grow older you just make bigger and bigger weights to bolt into the centre 👍
You truly are an extremely cool human being.
I agree
The coolest person and the coolest dad😀👌👌👌
You can't say it any better than that... I have nothing to add.
Have you seen his figure skating, yet?!
I would almost agree, but you're raising even cooler children!
Very different from the usual builds on UA-cam! I think it's the first time I have ever considered how a discus is constructed. Thanks 🤓
Thanks!
Kids are getting big, enjoy your time with them :)
Yeah the boy is really growing tall :)
I know, it's crazy!
You are an awesome dad! There are great dads that support their child in track and field, but not many of them can say they can build equipment for their kids to use!
A proud man and a proud father!
They grow up so fast!
That is really neat. Looking at your children made me realize how long I had been watching your videos.
This is such a cool build! I also love that you take the time to show each sticker as you put them up.
You should do a javelin next! 😂
It is so hypnotic watching a master craftsman like yourself create something so elegantly simple.
True artistry, displayed in full.
A really present for your golden team!!🎉

Ouch... Yes the cage is mandatory here I think.
Proud Dad,
I'm happy to see you.
Thank you.
When I saw the title I knew this must be for one of your children. Kudos papa.
SELL THESE!!!! That’d are actually far to beautiful to watch one get destroyed by my kids. Our 10$ frisbee is just fine. Incredibly precise and design once again! It truly is a thing of beauty.!!!
One day your son will make it to the Olympics and your channel will absolutely explode from his accomplishments that will be his way of thanking you.
1:02 can we all just take a minute to appreciate Torbjorns cows.
His kid is very lucky to inherit those genetics.
Bwahahah....
Watching your work is mesmerizing. This was a great project that your son will cherish.
Fantastic my friend!! Your kids have already won the gold medal 🏅
Make you wanna appreciate discus now - not just a sport but you made them into an art.....
So cool, love the project. Now, when I think about it - there's plenty of hammer forging videos, but no videos of forging trowing hammer. Either olimpic style or classic highland games style would be awesome.
Thanks!! :) Not sure they can be forged from solid stock? Or maybe they are....7.26kg is less than a dm3 of steel...hmmm
perfect idea. Thank you brother for giving me an experience
This is my 3 favorite things all in one! Discus, machining, and great UA-cam videos. I'm very happy right now
Great to hear! Thanks

A javelin is tricky I think, since they need to be hollow, more or less full length....

As a woodturner, I smiled when you chucked up your Sorby gouge. Good show!
Ha ha, a bit off the books... but that plywood really needed a clean cut. Scraping with anything would generate a mess.
I threw in H.S. and college.. it's all in the hips baby!! Get a good twist in the waist and sling that thing at a good angle.. Speed is your friend more than power is. Best of luck! Wonderful video Torbjörn.
Thanks!!! I know... not sure how much more the body can take, ha ha... Glad it came out in the right direction!
I never thought I'd sit here and watch a how to make a discus video.
Your videos have kept ne going since my partner left me, i appreciate it thank you
Awesome project, I really liked how this was made, too cool! Wax on, wax off!
either I'm getting old or your kids are growing up Fast ! nothing better than being a proud father
Every skill combined, hats off to you Sir, you're a true Meastro!

You just need to see this video: ua-cam.com/video/xJPDg5Ic8P4/v-deo.html
when I was in track in high school I could never figure out how to throw those things very well did an amazing job making that
Your son has a very good throw! :)
That damn spider...gets me every time. Awesome build once again.
Ha ha...
Your kids are growing fast
Really are the best man to make discus at home congratulation to you and show us how to make javelin if it is possible good Luck my friend

Love from India!

@@torbjornahman thanks, I finally learnt how to pronounce your channel's name!
😄👍🏻
Very nice piece, those children are growing so fast...
Pretty damn respectable throw for a young man of his size. Nice discus too.
Thanks!!
This is a labor born of the spirit of Love, and appears it might sail, too. Properly. Thank you for including us in this. Clasped hands, David.
Thanks David!
I keep snapping my fingers but no fire. What's the secret? Great video as always. Perfection mixed with modesty. You're a great role model
I threw discus in high school university and nationally in Canada. Your son has good form! Can’t wait for the 1.6 and 2K video😂. Nice work!
Thanks!! :) Need a bigger lathe for that....
We don't have a 1.6 k in Sweden. Apart from 1k we use 1.5 and 1.75 for youths.
Un gran trabajo como siempre, tus hijos no lo olvidarán, seguro.
Your kids got so big! I remember when they were little.

I think that you are masterful craftsman, amazing.
Looking forward to the 'building a new window' video next time! Love your work.
So cool!! Your son has a great father!
Thank You Mr. T for place my Sticker on you Cabinet!
Any time!
Glad you got the stickers. Love all your videos and content!!
Beautiful work. I haven't held a discus since school and have only seen them on the Olympic games, when I used to watch.
I love your cool videos and you are a wonderful dad to the kids.
I love the instant smile on the boys face as soon as he sees it. He was thinking, “Yes! I can’t wait to send that thing for a ride!” 🥏
Future Olympians! Truly amazing!
Most excellent!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
The editing for your finger snap fire starter is getting really good! I couldn't see where the roto was hiding.
Had to watch it to the end to understand what the heck was going on. But still amazing to watch 🎉
Your son is the champion😊😊😊
Forging, welding, machining, woodworking, gardening, and family time with the kids. Oh, and glass repair.🤣
Your son’s technique is very good. 👍🏼
This is so cute! I hope your son was pumped!
He was!
u r a fine blacksmith and a good father, wish u food luck
And now that's a high spin discus🫡
You are a Great Father!
my heart melted. what a lovely family you have, and what a lovely memory to cherish
Thank you so much!

He he, yes it "turned" out well!
I think it's no exaggeration to say I could watch you make toast. Cheers to the whole family and thanks for sharing.
Son is saying "why didn't you carve one out of wood?" Very cool
What a beautiful object! My sister threw discus and shotput in high school. I didn't know how they were made. Very cool.
When knowledge, desire and skill are combined, the result is magnificent! This man does everything perfectly! And watering the flowers and making a souvenir! Bravo!,👏👏👏
The gouge in a tool holder was a nice one 😆
Seems like your tool holder is a skilled wood turner, as it knew to rub the bevel for a safe cut!
🤣 If it works, it works! That plywood really needed a clean cut!
I’m sure they will proud to use it!! Awesome. Love your videos.
Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
One of the reasons that I love your videos is that sticker wall. I’m so excited every time I see my stickers up there!
