- Here I show how I make a slitting chisel. This particular tool is meant to go quite deep into a hole hence the long working end.

What kind of wood did you use to make the handle?
Oh, that's just pine! A handle on a top tool like this doesn't need to be fancy. Sooner or later it will break and should be easy to replace.
@@torbjornahman If I were to make say, an axe or a hammer. Do you think birch wood would work to use as a handle?
I think it would. Here we often use ash or beech for handles.
@@dankuspanku4650 Querido amigo. não me referi ao cabo da ferramenta, e sim ao desejo de ver você fazer um martelo para carpinteiro.
Abraço.
Do you usually wedge the handles of your struck tools?
What an absolute thing of beauty. As a carpenter I really respect your use of woodworking tools while making and fitting the handle. So many blacksmiths just jump on the belt sander. I know we talked about this before, well I'm still waiting for you to make an adjustable block plane start to finish. Showcase your myriad talents and skills. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for letting us see.
Thank you! I have just recently started to get aquatinted with the world of wooden planes. Quite fascinating and not very complicated when you know how they work. I would love to make one or two some day!
You call it a splitting chisel, I call it art. People are fortunate when they find their true calling in life, sir, I believe you have found yours. Beautiful work, and thank you for sharing this with us.
"can you pass me the art"
"the what?"
"the art! it's over there on the art shelf with all my other art"
"?????"
Forging is an art form but many people don't realise it. Great work and beautiful tool as always.
I really appreciate how you make all your tools work for you. You make it look effortless in everything you do. I know it's not effortless but because you know your trade and your tools so well, you make it all look so easy. You are a true craftsman.
Between plowing my driveway and cooking Thanksgiving dinner I've watched this video twice,twice yesterday. Trying to decide what I enjoy more the hefty chuff chuff chuff of the air hammer or the clack clack clack of the spring hammer. In America today most of us are giving thanks for who we have and what we have in our lives, and eating to much. I have much to be thankful for and I include all the artisan's who practice their craft and those who post on YT. You bring such wonder and knowledge to people of a vastly veryed backgrounds and this is something to be Thankful for. Your splitting hammer is truly a work of art and to use it in work is to honor the history and craftsman of the past. To you and yours a warm and healthy winter season.
Thank you so much Jeff!! Happy Thanksgiving
Excelllllllllent photography.
Particularly the Love symbol in Hot Iron was mind-blowing
it took becoming a blacksmith to be able to see the true beauty of this piece. Inspiring!
One of the few channels where I hit the like button as the video is starting.
Having watched your channel for some years, I believe you're one of my favorites. You have an unmatched aesthetic throughout the entire forging process, from beginning with raw stock to the finished item.
Your videos are filmed and edited well, and you've gotten better over time, I especially enjoy the fun little editing tricks you do from time to time.
Keep up the good work sir
That's great to hear! Thank you Cody!
Cody McMillen I totally agree!
The glowing heart at the end was a really really good touch. Great video as always!
It is a great pleasure to observe the work of a professional. Blacksmith + joiner - master = real man!
Your videos are so peaceful to watch .just watching you helps me to relax when I'm in my shed .
Truely, you are always an inspiration, a blacksmith I'd like to end up to be one day. Keep the good work. And don't be to humble, you deserve the praise !
Oh, thanks!!!
He’s good, his craftsmanship is second to none.
You are an excellent craftsman, Sir!
Accuracy and timing is undeniably excellent
My father would have loved your work as I do. Beautiful tool making, Sir.
Thank you for this video, it’s helping me learn more about Blacksmithing
Oh my I do love the sound of a sharp file cutting ! You know it’s working just by the sound ! Another perfect tool . The size the shape the handle everything comes together like a fine ballet 🩰! What a Blacksmith you are !
Hey Torb, I'm amazed at the accuracy of the way you work, very precise and symmetrical
Your videos and your editing are always a joy. Thank you!
Amazing how a finely made, simple tool, can be a work of art -
I have watched this a few times. This time I noticed the tip you put on the chisel and I appreciate the close up you gave us of your finishing of the tip
Majestic as always. A joy to watch..You can just tell the enjoyment you are getting from making such tooling. Top marks as usual Mr T. Well done....
It never ceases to amaze me how you finesse the metal with such, often brutal metal forming techniques. You Sir are a Master Craftsman
Awesome, truly a blacksmith's blacksmith. I think even the veterans can look to you for inspiration, and reset their fundamentals. Make every lick count, firm and precise, plan ahead. Like with the cold punching so you can find your place when the works hot, Happy forging.
This hammering sound is so peacefull for me and i'm sleepy after few minutes. Great job btw
same here :D
It's the carbon monoxide... :-D
Finally a real craftsman that knows a file is not a saw, that planes are laid on the side not the sole and how to protect the anvil face from damage! Sir you are awesome!
Thank you!
Unbelievable! You are a master sir, cant wait to see the video on the project you made this for !
Thanks!
You have some serious skill man... don't stop!
I watch you work frequently. You sir, are a master. Thank you!
Thank You for a great St. Valentines Day gift idea :D.
My favorite smith on YT. Awesome work!
Thanks Cody!
Yet another really impressive video. Such a beautiful but precise and robust tool. It’s really great to see you make them, thanks.
I like that you have two shops, metal and wood. I am envious.
Torbjörn, thank you so much!! Always a joy and pleasure to watch your artistry - in metal, wood and film.
Legend has it that Torbjörn only started with a forge and one hammer, and then proceeded to make all the tools he needed himself from there on out. 😉
Each video that I watch of yours further inspires me to pursue this craft. Thank you for your artistry and for maintaining the standard of workmanship that you do.
Wonderful! Thanks
I've simply run out of words to thank you for bringing us along . Happy trails
Pure joy to watch you create
I just love to watch you work. Sweet slitting chisel. Thanks for sharing it!
Wow ,that is one beautifully made tool.You are a very skilled blacksmith .
Torbjorn, thank you! As a minimum your work simply beautiful!
The ending with the love of subscribers!
if you didn't live far away (italy) I would come to see you every day to see your masterpieces from close by ... hello and good work.
:) Thanks!
A great Video as allways :) I really love that you show how the tools you make work and what they are for :)
That is true sniper-precision, man... thumbs up! I really like to watch the process of making... extremely plain and straight!
Thanks!
A perfect primer for power hammer work! Very well done. The best example of making an eye, drifting, and shaping on a power hammer I’ve seen. The new Anyang has revolutionized my own work. Thank you Torbjorn for all your help!
Thanks!!!! Perfect, it can make a huge difference, but it can ruin something quite fast also. Takes time to get to know the machine.
Beautiful tool. I really like it when you demonstrate its use. Your talent never ceases to amaze me!!! Another great video! 👍👍👍
Beautiful chisel, love your design. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I must say you are a perfectionist. Your work is top notch.
Thank you!!
You are a true man of steel TA
As always TA, amazing work. Each piece is beautifully crafted. Best wishes from the States.
A bit late getting to this one....wonderfull tool, great to watch you bring it into existence.
I would also like to thank you for treating your wood planes with respect......I think it's because I was taught by my father to always rest a plane on its side, or face corporal punishment that I still get triggered when I see it done other ways....not many people do.
Your file and finish work is very good. Cheers.
You always make the good stuff. You always do an excellent job of it. Its very satisfying to watch.
Beautiful. Excellent craftsmanship.
You hare the wizard of blacksmiths
Nice work, TA! I always enjoy seeing what you are working on.
Awesome set up you have. I wish I had a forge room and a woodworking room. Keep up the good work and letting us go along with you with your projects.
A heartwarming video.
And it will be Christmas, soon.......
I can't wait !!!
I very much enjoy your gardening and other outside videos, but I do have to say it is nice to watch you build something again! Your attention to detail and final form is enviable and drives me to do better in my own shop! Thank you Thunder Bear 🙂
Great, thanks Craig!
Always a pleasure to see your videos, the quality and dedication with which you work, makes me always enjoy, very good work, greetings from Argentina!!!

That is BEAUTIFUL! A piece of art!

Such precision! Much more so than many of the videos that I've seen... Well done! You seem to have a real grasp of the malleability of the metal you're working with!
Thanks for showing. Wonderful craftmanship as usual. Such a pleasure to watch as always
You’re an awesome craftsman Torbjorn! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you!
I find your creations a true work of art. I admire your work and one day I hope to find someone with your knowledge willing to teach me these techniques
Best wishes
Nice touch at the end❤️

Your artistry, as usual, is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Also, your precision with a power hammer is... superlative.
Thanks!
Would you ever consider selling finished hand tools?
I rather focus on new video project instead of making things for sale.
Very reasonable! Thanks for your response!
I like the informational captions you've been adding.
That's what I call craftsmanship

So smooth with the power hammer, seriously! Wow!
Very nice... I especially like that very delicate "bow" you put into it.
Outstanding workmanship! Thank you for all your videos
I’m starting to run out of words to describe your work and videos !
I can only call them exquisite so many times before it becomes out dated and i can”t find a word that supersedes it !
Thank you !
Ha ha, that works for a good while more, don't worry! :)
A very nice piece of work done there Torbjorn, there’s many a professional (and non professional) people who would love to have a tool like this in their collection. Very nice work there....Phil
Thank you Phil!!
Your eye measuring is really jeweler's! Respect.
Beautiful work as usual.
