    I love watching Blacksmiths forge random Items. I think it's cool how they can shape a material like iron.

    I had the pleasure of dealing with this man and have bought one of his hammers and have it delivered to Ireland. My opinion - its a work of art. You can tell by the detail on the hammer the passion and love this man has for his smith work. He is a gifted blacksmith. I hope to have the strength & health to swing this hammer for many years to come and pass on to my son at some stage. Thank you again Torbjörn. A delight dealing with you Sir.

      Faust1169 Don't quite remember, but about 3 h forging, 1 h grinding, 0,5 h heat treat, and 2 h making handle and mount handle. Lets say a days work incl. filming ... :)

    This is such an awesome production Torbjörn, I keep finding myself back here watching it over and over. need to get myself a power hammer, yours is quiet compared to most or are you just turning the sound down when you come to edit? cheers!

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  Před 9 lety +3

      ***** Thanks! Difficult to tell how loud it is from the video. I'm on auto gain control so the level will adjust itself. However I think the hammer is below average. For any power hammer, it probably depends really much on how it's mounted and in what environment it sits.

  • @jimjewy
    @jimjewy Před 9 lety +1

    I enjoyed watching this. I have only done decorative forging but this has motivated me to consider trying something a little more functional.

    fortunaetly you have a power hammer... would have been a shit ton of work to forge this hammer with hand tools only... i mean it already is a bunch of work to forge some simple flat nib tongs if you have to draw out the reins with hand tools only

  • @derpityderp-derp4007
    @derpityderp-derp4007 Před 10 lety +6

    Using an electric hammer to make a normal hammer... That is so many kinds of funny. ;] Next project is to make an electric hammer using the hammer hammer?
    after re-reading this... I realize it might come across as a criticism. I don't mean it that way. It is just that the irony is hysterical.

    • @torbjornahman
      @torbjornahman  Před 10 lety +3

      :) Most of the modern hammers made today are actually still forged. Drop forged by huge hammers.
