Making a discus!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2023
- I decided to make a custom discus for my son, who is competing in track and field, where discus throwing is one event. A fun project but a bit more work than I first anticipated as you have to meet some specific parameters, like size and weight. I'm very happy with the result and it feels great to throw!

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?!
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!
That is really neat. Looking at your children made me realize how long I had been watching your videos.
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!
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!!🎉
I never thought I'd sit here and watch a how to make a discus video.
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! 😂
1:02 can we all just take a minute to appreciate Torbjorns cows.
His kid is very lucky to inherit those genetics.
Bwahahah....
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
Proud Dad,
I'm happy to see you.
Thank you.
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.
You just need to see this video: ua-cam.com/video/xJPDg5Ic8P4/v-deo.html
Fantastic my friend!! Your kids have already won the gold medal 🏅
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.
Thank you!
And now that's a high spin discus🫡
Forging, welding, machining, woodworking, gardening, and family time with the kids. Oh, and glass repair.🤣
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
Watching your work is mesmerizing. This was a great project that your son will cherish.
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.
Thanks!! :) Not sure they can be forged from solid stock? Or maybe they are....7.26kg is less than a dm3 of steel...hmmm
*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.*
Thank you! We will see, she is also into track and field, and football.... She likes the javelin 😳😳
@@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.
A javelin is tricky I think, since they need to be hollow, more or less full length....
@@torbjornahman “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. :) … and you continually seem to find solutions to things, so I’m sure you’ll figure something out. :)
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 👌😎
Make you wanna appreciate discus now - not just a sport but you made them into an art.....
3:21 Side Project #1: Torbjorn melts glass from silica sand and makes a brand new window for his shop
You have mastered your trade but the kids outdone you in the throwing. 😆👏
Your kids are growing fast
Son is saying "why didn't you carve one out of wood?" Very cool
Thank You Mr. T for place my Sticker on you Cabinet!
Any time!
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!
So nice of you, thanks!!
When I saw the title I knew this must be for one of your children. Kudos papa.
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
Your son has a very good throw! :)
Every skill combined, hats off to you Sir, you're a true Meastro!
Your videos have kept ne going since my partner left me, i appreciate it thank you
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
That's called... Super Dad!
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!
Awesome project, I really liked how this was made, too cool! Wax on, wax off!
Pretty damn respectable throw for a young man of his size. Nice discus too.
Thanks!!

Made from real Danes. Happy hurling! Nice work once again.
Too cool! Who wouldn't love that athlete?
So cool!! Your son has a great father!
Very nice piece, those children are growing so fast...
Future Olympians! Truly amazing!
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.
Had to watch it to the end to understand what the heck was going on. But still amazing to watch 🎉
23:51 when the hat gets turned around, you know he means business!
:)
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
The editing for your finger snap fire starter is getting really good! I couldn't see where the roto was hiding.
Looking forward to the 'building a new window' video next time! Love your work.
Как уже выросли дети! Здоровья Вашей семье! Дети гордятся таким отцом!
Medalhas olímpicas garantidas!!!!
Kids growing fast, nice build 👍🏼
Beautiful work. I haven't held a discus since school and have only seen them on the Olympic games, when I used to watch.
either I'm getting old or your kids are growing up Fast ! nothing better than being a proud father
Un gran trabajo como siempre, tus hijos no lo olvidarán, seguro.
Most excellent!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
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 think it's no exaggeration to say I could watch you make toast. Cheers to the whole family and thanks for sharing.
I don't even know how to pronounce your channel's name, yet your channel is best.
Love from India!
Thanks. Here is an old video about it - ua-cam.com/video/BQo42_o6s4Q/v-deo.html
@@torbjornahman thanks, I finally learnt how to pronounce your channel's name!
😄👍🏻
Well done, proud dad!
That damn spider...gets me every time. Awesome build once again.
Ha ha...
Only a few of us know that window pane was upgraded to "Impact Resistance"
No comment
just FANTASTIC
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!,👏👏👏
You are a Great Father!
Glad you got the stickers. Love all your videos and content!!
Again! Thunder Bear never disappoints! 😊
I think that you are masterful craftsman, amazing.
Your son’s technique is very good. 👍🏼
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!
Thanks Michael!
perfect idea. Thank you brother for giving me an experience
3.13. The window has left the chat.
A beautiful thing. Bravo!
I love your cool videos and you are a wonderful dad to the kids.
u r a fine blacksmith and a good father, wish u food luck
Your son is the champion😊😊😊
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.
Oh, thank you so much!
The first time I saw a discus made personally.Excellently made.Good work and fine finish.
Your kids got so big! I remember when they were little.
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!” 🥏
The amazing flexibility of the craft of Blacksmithing. Discuss, (60 marks of a total 85) You have 2 hours. 😛 If you score a perfect 60 the name you wrote at the top of the paper must be Thunderbear!
Been there with the window on my 100+ yr old garage lol.
Magic fingers all the way!!
Sticker collection is slowly growing 👍
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.
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.
Thank you! Cheers!
Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
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!
Love watching your craftsmanship!
the bowl gouge on the lathe made me smile
Me too! :)
Great watching you working , that would not be out of place at the Olympics.
Beautiful work
Usually you are straightening coil springs, this time it you make one from straight bar :)
:)
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
I upvote before I even watch his videos! I know just from the thumbnail 😂
Looks like your son will be a new champion 👍 💪
beautiful work
This is cool. If you want to add weight for training you can swap the center nut out with a heavier one. I threw discus in highschool and the men threw a bigger discus then the women so they would practice with ours, but we didn't have a bigger one we could train with.
