- Watch me forge a scroll pendant!
I stumbled upon a facebook post by Reinis Pētersōns, a couple of week ago where he showed something very similar. It was so nice I decided to give it a try myself.

Its amazing how much skill these "simple" projects require to come out looking this good.
It's still basic forging, but you need to get everything symmetrical and equal in size, and that takes time and patience :)
@@torbjornahmanSir, I believe you are a Master of all things.
@torbjornahman you sir are an artist :)
The devil is in the details. No matter the size!
Confess. You made a test throw and it successfully stuck to the wall 😆😆😆
To be able to give a loved one something made by your own hands is more valuable than any gift bought, brilliant as ever 👏
Could not have said it better myself.
4:25 that grumble as the brush flings the workpiece off the anvil is all too relatable. Lovely work.
the replay spike in the video progress bar makes me laugh. agreed - very relatable noise haha
Yeah, that was great!
Another fine example of Mr. Åhman not only be a master craftsman, but also a family man. Gifting the completed pendant to his daughter was a lovely end to another wonderfully enjoyable and engaging video. Keep up the great work and thankyou for allowing us to see over your shoulder.
Great comment, I agree wholeheartedly 👍.
Thank you, it means a lot!
@@torbjornahman great job, thunderbear
As an aspiring hobby blacksmith in the very early stages of learning, I am constantly in awe of the way you break down such complicated forms into seemingly simple steps.
Thank you for being a constant source of inspration with your dedication to the craft.
Thanks! Even the most complex shapes are made with simple steps!
@@torbjornahman This is exactly what my dad tought me. If you find a problem too complicated to solve "at one go", divide it into smaller steps untill each step will be simple enough to make it without too much effort. The most difficult part of this process (in any craft) is to learn how to divide a problem. And this is something you learn from others, on your own mistakes and with time 😊 And with time (a lot of it usually), you become a master of your craft.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful craft!
Such a beautiful pendant! I’m sure that your daughter will cherish it forever. I really love the idea of the blacksmith’s journal.
Great! Thanks
J’adore tes vidéos et cette ambiance de forge tout en douceur… maintenant que je suis à la retraite, je vais essayer de forger sans penser à la rentabilité…. Ahah 😅
The best part is that the pendant will survive for many many years so she can gift it to her kids and her kids to their kids... and so on
There is nothing like seeing metal moving to your willl like that, just guided by the hammer. Beautiful work. ❤
Thank you! ❤
Hope springs eternal. A symbol that stays with us always, whether we are allowed to say or show it or not.
Such a beautiful symbol
WOW! Such an amazing gift from a father to his young daughter!
Congratulations Torbjorn!
I think those of us who intentively follow your channel, know we are in for a treat when when of your videos shows up
your skill never ceases to amaze us, and i was sitting on the edge of my seat when you were forging the tips, and then when your started to make the scrolls, control of the heat was so masterful, this whole process, shows how efficient forging is with no wasted material
it is also obvious from many of the comments, many people are inspired by your generosity in sharing these videos and recording what is required to keep these traditions going.... a job well done
it was a great gift for your daughter, and seeing both your radiant smiles, brought a few tears to my eyes.
I hope you and your family have a great and safe Christmas
Andrew, from the UK
Wow, thank you Andrew. So very kind of you!
That was not only YOUR WORK OF ART but a BEAUTIFUL ENDING!
4:28 when the piece falls to the floor. I felt that grunt in my soul!
the best part was Tor putting the pendant on his daughter's neck! So good!
In 1960, one of the first things I ever knitted (maybe the first, I don't remember for sure as I was only 4) was a scarf for my father for Christmas. He died a year ago at age 97 and that scarf was still in his closet. The ultimately knitworthy recipient. I made him many sweaters, socks and stockings over the years but the one project he held onto until the end was that first one.
A few years later, one of his first woodworking projects was to make me a bookcase. I can't imagine it anywhere but right next to my reading/crafting/computer chair, holding my current reference books, my current reading books and my current handwork projects. Somehow it is always just the right size and I will never let it go.
Nice!
@@torbjornahman You're making those sorts of stories for your future adult daughter to tell about you.
Nicely crafted, a work of art from a small piece of flat bar.
This is what I like about this channel. Everyone enjoys a good knife or axe making video, but the village blacksmiths of old made everything from practical tools to more decorative items. They were the local fabrication shop.
Thanks!! And yes, I think the local village blacksmith was part time inventor and problem solver as well.
Watching from Maine USA. Thank you for having the original sound in your video. It’s so educational to hear the taps, the pressures you use. Your craftsmanship is astonishing. There is absolutely nothing like watching a skilled maker execute a work. The only thing better would be to actually be in the room. Beautiful.
Thank you Deb!
That's really cool. I'm sure your daughter's friends will all want one.
I watch your videos and no matter what is going on in the world, it all fades away and lets me relax. Your work is beautiful, and your skill is amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
My son and I watched this one. I said, "I don't watch him to learn how to make stuff. I just enjoy watching an artist show off his skill sometimes."
A wonderful reminder that projects don't need to be huge to be spectacular. Beautiful work as always.
Love your videos, love how you don’t have any loud garish music playing over your videos, so calming. You live in a very beautiful part of the world also. 😊
Thank you!
You have inspired me to gift something of my own making to my daughters. Thanks a lot.
I have a 2 years old daughter and your end videos are very nice to watch and very enjoyable. The work is top notch too 😊 congrats
Thank you!
ahahaha🤣 The moment it slipped away and made that tink-sound across the floor- you just groaned and it was so real, I felt it in my bones! Know that feeling, especially with small, fiddly things.
😁
Man I'm used to seeing tired old wire brushes, but yours is on another level lol
Ha ha
The ending was so sweet! I miss the times when my daughters were that age.
Patience and a lot of skill. You are a master of your trade. Thank you for these inspiring videos. The quality of the videos themselves is excellent too.
That is so special. Thank you for sharing (once again) your skill and dedication. And also this time the moment you handed the gift over. That could become a family piece handed down over many generations.
Thank you very much!
Ожидание сметри подобно! Так долго не выходят Ваши превосходные видео! Надеюсь Google правильно переведёт пословицу!
I love the Maryland flag anvil, Eastern shore Craftsman gotta represent!!! Beautiful work!!
These small projects are deceivingly difficult. What a beautiful gift for your daughter. I am sure she will cherish it.
Sweet! A lovely gift for your daughter :D
When the Blacksmith is an Artist👍. JC🌵
Très belle réalisation autour d'un symbole universel qui indique le mouvement perpétuel du Principe Vivificateur. On voit que l'exécution de ce travail a été préparée méticuleusement en amont : elle est, de ce fait, très plaisante à voir par le dosage exact de chaque geste ! La consigne dans "Le Cahier du Forgeron" est vraiment une bonne idée qui s'inscrit dans la volonté ancestrale de transmission qui a toujours été l'apanage de la véritable maîtrise ! Le don final, qui en fait un objet utile, parachève l'œuvre. ⚒️
Trés éloquant ! 👍
I am going back to the anvil to forge one of these. A nice Christmas gift for my wife ! 😘
Have fun!
Selfmade - more valuable than gold! Great pendant!!! 🙂
.. you caused me a very heartwarming tear at that touchingly beautiful end ..
I thank you for showing that personal loving moment 💖
En fin julklapp till din dotter före Jul . Tack Pappa !🥰
Just turned it on with the highest expectations
Thanks your the Master
I almost cried at the end 😢 your greatest skill is being a dad, never stop working on that
From scissors to pendants to little norse Gnomes you always come up with something new , great to watch and that symmetry is second to none
Excellent present for your daughter, one she will cherish for a long time.
Thank you very much!
@@torbjornahman Thankyou for your exceptional content and will to share..
Such a beautiful gift. She will remember it is from you and love it and you always.
The king returns!
What a sweet father. If only there were more of you in the world.
So it is a good luck charm, made with love 🥰✨
It’s so simple, and beautiful, and very complex to conceive. Watching your videos stretches my blacksmithing brain.
Не перестаю удивляться твоему таланту и гениальности. Шедевр. Всё гениальное - просто!
Спасибо за видео!
Храни Вас и вашу семью Господь.
Awww 😊 thats probably never going to leave her jewelry box. 😊
When your daughter hands that down to her grandchildren she will remember you fondly. God Bless you. 🙏🇨🇦
This reminds me of my time smithing, and not in a bad way. There’s something magical about working metal like this.
It looks amazing ❤
I'm going to try do it too
Thank you for upload. Cheers from Poland 🍻
Thanks Torbjorn⚒
You are no longer a blacksmith, but rather a metal sculptor! this is a great video too!
Beautiful, when the blacksmith transforms into an artist. Absolutely beautiful. God bless.
That's so lovely, thank you for sharing the process with us!
Torbjorn - making the difficult look easy since 1986
Awesome piece!
Your daughter’s getting big. Those pesky boys will be coming around soon. You should tell her what I told my daughters: I don’t mind if they come by the house, where I can keep an eye on them 👀. But no car-dates until you’re 30. 😄
:) Right!
Magic! Thanks for sharing. Your videos are #1 reason for watching youtube!!
Absolutely adorable!
Why do i think AI will never replicate this? The story line, skill at making a fire. Thinking of making a perfectly useless but beautiful object. The raw power of being a maker, creative and growing mind acquiring new skill’s every day.
Thanks for doing this it was enlightening to watch.
Thanks!
What a cool gift.
If you were to plate that in *pure gold* it would only serve to dull the beautiful workmanship. Awesome!
What a beautiful sight! Thank you so much for sharing. I can already picture myself setting up a blacksmith shop and diving into the artistry. Sending cheers from Alberta, Canada! 🍁
Great, thanks!!
One miss hit with the chisel and game over, well done sir. Pleasure to watch as always.
Daddy made a sweet gift.
This man is a good man, and a good father.
Masterfully done, as always.
Yet again another fine example of the Blacksmithing skills by the master Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Tony!
Love these kinds of projects.
That's a beautiful gift that could be treasured for many generations.
Very nice. I was blacksmith for a while in my youth and was making all sorts of lamps. Now I am old and maybe one day coming back. To make all sorts of lamps again 😊
😊
Beautiful and worthy necklace for the little viking girl! 🎉
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Mind you seeing your daughter again made me realize how long I have been following you 😳 🙂
True Craftsmanship.
Beautiful. Fantastic watch.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and I think that was amazing! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
The real beauty here is not the forging, it’s the recipient of the gift.
It's more than just a piece of metal now.
Great blacksmith, artist, father. Your little princess has a gift of a lifetime from you. She will always remember you when her beautiful eyes look at it.
Totally Åwesome video!
❤
Another outstanding project. Nice to see BBF watches you to. Happy Thanksgiving from the states.
That's about as good as it gets, jewellery skills, blacksmithing skills, and Dad skills
Thank you for all the awesome content and great videos!!!
*Now that is a gift that your daughter will cherish forever as it was made by her dad.*
Love how elegant and "simple" it is.
Very nice!
What a lovely thing.
the attention to detail just wondetfull and what a beatifull project! thank you for the video.
Beautiful craftsmanship. No doubt you made it for your daughter. Very nice. From Missouri USA
That's beautiful! I always love how thoughtful you are!
How lovely! Looks kinda celtic 💚
Simply the Best Blacksmith on the Planet!
Beautiful idea, work and connection with your daughter. Thank you for letting us be with you.
Lightening Bear gives Ursa Minor one of his stars 🌟 🥰
🥰
I love stickers and those are some pretty cool ones that you’ve got there! Great job on pendant👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You never cease to amaze me!
Developing the scrolls was incredibly satisfying.
Yes! You don't see it like that yourself when making them.... quite fun to see the footage afterwards.
oh jeez, had me in tears the last few minutes. so Good, thank you!
Wonderful creation. Microblacksmithing with a touch of art. Beautiful gift.
Thank you for this! I now know what gift to forge for all my friends this holiday season! great video!!!
Perfect!
Precious 🙏
Thank you to share all of our memories ❤
Bra jobbat, som alltid!
