thank you for not having annoying, repetitious background music on your videos!
Cory Pride hey whats wrong with the cool and fun royalty free tutorial music?
Leonardo Ruvalcaba its bullshit to have music in a video like this
@@leonruvalcaba1549 Sound of the work is very important too. You can hear many properties of the material you work with. Every service tech with some experience will tell you that. Each machine has it's own specific "music" and if you know it, you can find out a lot of problems before they can become a disaster :)
Sound in work is as much important as sight, that's why i also preffer those clips with real sounds of the craft.
@@ogi22 Very true and thank you for pointing this out :)
i'm sure leonardo was joking lol
Very very beautiful drawknife! I am a woodworker myself and I would love to use that tool :)
Thanks for your cool videos!
Thank you very much!!
I noticed he was using it with the bevel up. I was taught to use mine with the bevel down as I use a chisel.
You inspire my forgings, you are like a laser beam.
I once made a turkey by tracing my hand. This guy creates works of art. I wish I could get one of those anvils hear in the USA. Keep up the craftsmanship.
HOW DID YOU DO THAT
Blacksmiths is such a old but grate skill I am glad for people that keep this going.
Some of the greatest enjoyment is accomplishing something that is useful and at the same time, artful! Nice work!
I'm 6 years late.... beautiful work!!!👊👊👊👊
Black fingers (as in blacksmith ;) and green fingers in one - just awesome!
It is a pleasure to watch an artisan work - thank you for sharing!
You're my hero. I just about cried when you shaved your arm with it.
idk about any one else but i think he sound of traditional metal making/forging so relaxing, and satisfying
Outstanding 👍🏻 I liked the fact you used the draw knife to shape the handles 😁 cuts evenly and draws smoothly. Quality workmanship 👍🏻
I watch your videos as a TV show, great work!
Friendly greetings from Russia, Chelyabinsk !!!
Thank you!!
how satisfying to build things with the tools you made yourself. very nice!
Hej Torbjorn, Your tools are usually so precise, I love how you just used a handy lump of wood when you needed a soft hammer to straighten out the steel - very efficient!
Вы мастер с большой Буквы, любуюсь Вышей работой , молодец.Так держать.Всегда с большим удовольствием смотрю Ваши шедевры!!!
That's what you call a quality tool. It will last forever and will produce high quality work every time. It was a pleasure to watch your video Torbjorn.
Thank you!!
I am in awe of your talent!! Demonstrating how well it worked was a plus!! Awesome tool!!!
Lovely to watch a true craftsman at work making such beautiful tools.
We must be thankful there are old-world men of the elements still walking the planet such as yourself who take the time to instruct us in The Black Arts of fire and steel. These skills are making somewhat of a renaissance and in no small part to folks as yourself, as limited in numbers as they are. You're an amazing and very talented craftsman and it's an absolute joy watching you create. What Ill never understand is how this gentleman and his considerable skills has attracted over a thousand thumbs down!
Thank you so much Tony!
Torbjörn, i LOVE what you do;
Little tip; try chalking the wood where an axe handle is gonna rest, or any tight metal on wood part that you don't want slipping.
Chalk is extremely grippy, never lost a head or decorative metal part with it.
Also try chalking your files too, it works well for clog prevention.
Very useful tip, thanks!
Once again great work
Thanks Ryan.
Aasif
+Torbjörn, gotta ditto Ryan on that...great job - on the blade as well as the video production. I loved the sped-up bits - you got the point across and with a little humor. Nicely done, sir. 👍🏻
I think the tumbs down is people that cannot make this pice of art themselfs. He is an amazing craftsman🙏
I want to also thank you for letting us see you work and create. Trade craftsmanship always inspires us all. Mark W
Thanks Mark!!
It's always a pleasure watching you work.
At the beginning of heat treat, it was really cool to see the temper move through the blade (@ 8:17). Great job!
Yes it was! Thanks
A real pleasure watch an artisan at work. You produce sublimely beautiful tool that are so much more than just a tool.
Thanks for sharing your gift.
Thank you very much for the kind words!!
Thanks Geoff!
Everybody would like to be an artist in their trade. I'd like to to be an exceptional artisan first and if it happens so, maybe an artist.
Great respect for you attitude towards material and tools. You're an exceptional artisan.
Oh, thank you!!
Nice work! I thought the plant watering interlude was hilarious.
You are my favorite blacksmith on youtube. Great skill and lovely videos. Grymt jobbat!
Tackar!!
Agree! 😃
Torbjörn Åhman where do you get your metal from?
Some from regular steel suppliers, some from the scrap yard. I have got some from local machine shops also.
Torbjörn Åhman cool thanks for the reply and keep up the good work 👍 can you make an anvil forging video
I love how he actually shows you what its used for at the end. So many people make videos like these and then it just ends, so you're like what the heck is that thing supposed to do. Great vid man.
Thank you!!
Man. I love how you work. Cool, calm, unhurried.
Thank you fkr the upload Mr T! Saludos from Argentina, I love your videos.
Thanks!
I am the only who think that its satisfactory see how the knife cut de wood?
Eduardo Basile Definetly not. And my second thought was; that would be a nice variation from the axe when making kindling. Especially when you get planks-ends and similar left over from other projects :)
Eduardo Basile sooo satisfying. Wish he showed more 😭
Г
Hhhu
Your projects look like they were made in a factory. Very crisp and precise.
I aspire to posses techniques one day like those you've shown here. You accuracy in your to forge shape is incredible. You've obviously mastered the basic techniques, tapering being one of them. Thank you for the video
Thanks!
Руки из нужного места, но не всегда результат для повседневки.. Однозначно - ты Мастер!
Awsome tool you made there. must be great to use. thanks for sharing. cheers.
Thanks Flip.
It's a very fine tool! You should be proud; it'll last 100 years.
Thanks
Torbjörn, I've watched a number of your videos and after watching this tool develop over 19 minutes, I am going to be hard pressed to miss another video. I am a woodworker and have been lurking and beginning to develop a desire to work with metal. i could almost feel the balance and sturdiness of knife by the end of that video. Thank you.
Thank you very much Jim! I'm glad you get inspired!
Thank you for sharing your talent. Beautiful work.
Beautiful work is seen that you are a man of many professions .
I love your videos man, they're always so nice to follow and calming because you don't put any distracting music on them. I really like that.
So much to learn from you! :) Thank you very much for sharing!
Great! Thank you Kjell.
awesome skills I appreciate a guy who has traditional ideas and crafstmanship. I have restored some of my great grandfather's tools and am building a hand hewn log cabin and forging the hardware and nails to put it together
Thanks! Wow, cool project. Good luck.
You are a true wizard. It’s a work of art, as usual! I’m making a draw knife right now…… it will be my signature wavy surface uneven bevel paper thin draw knife.
Im starting a forge and just getting into the craft. My first projects are going to be the tools I will use for everything else.
Cool, that's great!
Excellent craftsmanship! Nice channel
Another beautiful piece! The best thing about your works of art is that they are tools, or the best thing about your tools are that they are works of art! ;)
Ha ha, thanks Dennis!
Great. Another masterpiece of a tool... fully handcrafted. Thumbs up, man!
Thank you!
We need this traditional gorging back to America
hardwork pays off
The best looking draw knife I've seen made on UA-cam so far.
Great! Thank you.
i dont know if i can watch any other blacksmith on youtube now, you've set the standard so high
Ha ha, thank you!
Fantastiskt fin Torbjörn!!
Tack Anders!
Beautiful draw knife.
-Thanks
as a woodworker I would love to have such a tool...the design is out of this world and has very good quality steel
Oh, thank you!!
Getting ready to make one of these. I will share finished product when completed. Thank you for this vid. Awesome job
Cool, good luck!
Mycket stiligt. Som vanligt!
Tack Joel.
joel jonsson
Fantastic!
Why would anyone want to dislike this? This is a really nice video, with no music. Keep up the good work Torbjörn!
Good question... Thanks!
First tool which helped in making itself. Well done.
A steady hand and a sharp eye.
I'm starting to suspect that Torbjörn is in fact a Nibelung.
Yep, and here's visual proof, back when he still had long hair.

Precision tool maker, keep it up.
Absolutely beautiful again. This is a tool I, and any woodworker, would consider one of their most prized. Your work is the best I've come across in quality.
Thank you very much!!
I love that you used the knife to make its own handle!
:) thanks
I was about to criticize your way of fixing the handles, fixing them without glue or epoxy or sth else, until I saw you testing it; it is too sharp and deals with wood as if it is butter.
I really Enjoy watching your videos.
I AM A MUCH BETTER PERSON FOR HAVING WATCHED THIS. aSTONISHING, bEAUTIFUL,aRTISTIC AND WAY COOL. thank you from Wisconsin, North America.
Peace&LoveAreWe
Ha ha. Thank you Kathleen!!
'Ha ha'' is just my all time favorite thing to say, anytime. I AM NOT KIDDING.Thank you for your reply. Made my little heart go bump, in a good way. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for thinking of thanking me.Peace&Love
Awesome!
Such level of craftsmanship!
This is so pleasing to watch, twice or more! Beats a movie at the cinema. Hour well spent!
I'll share this with my brother, we both grew up watching dear old grandpa doing this, the old-school way (but not as good as yours).
Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much! That sounds like a good childhood to me.
It was.
Growing up at our grandparents, until we turned 7 and went to parents.
Those first 7 years at the countryside were the basis of our current lives!
Btw.
I'm from Romania.
Eugen is my name. I'm 30 (my brother is 32).
I really like you, man!
Nice to "meet" you :-)
Cool. Nice to meet you too!
Most beautiful drawknife I've ever seen!!
Really? Thank you!!
Great work, Made with heart, not like a Chinnise serial production. Keep cool!!!
Thanks!
Konrad Tomaszewski
Gorgeous! I also appreciate the lack of annoying music.
Now,there's a draw knife that anyone would be proud to own! I would certainly put that to good use! You have amazing amazing skills my friend! Excellent work!
i aspire to be the craftsman that you are. you've got a great pair of hands that make some very beautiful creations. thank you for your content.
Thank you!
beautiful work.
Good video!!!!
Another quality piece of metalwork and woodworking combined. I enjoy watching your videos. Great Job Torbjorn.
Thanks!
This knowledge is good for all homesteaders,thank you for this post!
Very nice!
great skill，l love the videos。
Youre my favorite blacksmith. Your videos are so soothing. Keep it up.
Great. Thanks!
Great example of a practical, useful, and beautiful tool. It speaks volumes about how a superbly functional object can also be art. Also, I really like your video style with just the natural sounds of the tools. Great work as always.
Thank you Gary!!
beautiful
great job
Unbelievable! You're an artist of high class and skill!
Thank you!
You are one incredible Blacksmith! I am totally speechless. 😮
Thanks!
well done!!
I love all of your VDO :)
Looking forward to watch the next one.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Thanks
I love it when stuff is still hand made, and where loads of love and work is put in to pieces of art like that. Instead of Wall-Mart massproduced crap that breaks every so months or earlier.
Thanks Mark!! I agree on that.
thanks x showing us
Very clever
Wow wow! What an amazing craft. I had no idea how involved of a process this is. Sure makes me appreciate small artisans more, and it makes me realize that they deserve the price they’re asking, and probably more
The technical tidbits are a great addition.
You are my favourite overwatch character! cheers! wait.. NOT THIS TORBJÖRN
:)
Unknownz i was about to say that.....
Very Nice !!
as always excellent craftsmanship. I love the format you use in your video's, no talking just showing and not a lot of B.S. Love, keep them coming 😁
Thank you very much!!
When I was a Wheelwright I would have appreciated such a fine tool. You Sir are a skilled Blacksmith.
Great, thank you!!
Good job, thx ;)
Skill
This is the best. I always like your work and have learnt a lot of things through your work. Your forged things finishing is so good and clean.
very clever way to temper the back of the blade! I love you make use of what you have lying around
