Great work, as always. It's not all about knives and axes. I hope blacksmithing continues to grow.
Even if you had forgotten your makers mark I would knew it was yours, cause to me your mark is your quality and craftsmanship!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
+2dividedby3 Thanks!
Beautiful 😃
Making decisions along the way, and then come up with the "final solution"
That's often how I make stuff, with just a general idea to start with.
I look forward to another one of your videos. Really enjoy seeing something useful be created out of nothing.
I could watch u all night...so talented, creative , and a master at ur craft...thank you sir!
From noise and fire, smoke and sparks comes something graceful and serene. Beautiful!
+Steve Mackelprang Best comment 😊
+Steve Mackelprang Like the Phoenix 🌠
That new power hammer really kicks ass!
+justfakeit888 Yes, there is power behind the blows... Easy to mess up if your not careful. :)
I like your approach to your work, the steps involved and the process. You have a good eye for sure. I've said it before and I say again, you're a true craftsman.
Thank you for sharing your skill and how too do things. I have been in and out of the shop for 30 years as health and my back permits. currently working on a set of fireplace tools for a huge fireplace with heads. Great skill set.
This video was a treat to watch.
Thank you from Minneapolis Minnesota.
+arty359 I second your comment - I am also from Minneapolis.
Haha same. My classmates find it weird that I enjoy learning about forging and welding, however it's so beautiful and I hope I can one day try it out myself.
A beautiful tulip candlestick. Simple yet elegant.
Beautiful !
My ancestors were the first blacksmiths in Tennessee, I like working with Silver, the apple didn't fall too far from the Celtic tree . Beautiful work , Sir. 😊
+Nancy Rose Black Thank you! That's cool.
You never cease to amaze a blacksmith in learning :)
That drilled out hammer head is genious...! Gonna steal that idea, hehe! =P
Ha ha, yes it looks like that, but it's actually a tool made from scratch for this application
Been waiting for a new video forever! Yay!
Beautiful as always!
What a beautiful piece of ancient, yet very practical art. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent job, as usual. Loved it.
Beautiful. Elegant. Simple. Well done.
Simple elegant design. Love it.
I spent this whole video looking at the candle stick upside down until he set it to burn a candle at the end. lol I thought the cone shape was gonna be the bottom.
beautiful work. Love your videos.
ha ha, Thanks!
Beautiful candlestick, so simple but so elegant, thank you.
So much work for something so simple
I see how one could use a similar process to make the socket for a socket chisel. Fantastic video, as always. Thank you.
+Curoi MacDaire Thanks! Yes, it's the same process, but for a chisel socket you probably should overlap the edges and weld them together.
Very nice Trob, stunning piece!
Very nice proportions in the candlestick. It is good to see you back with a new video. :-)
+Eugene Simonalle Thanks!
+Torbjörn Åhman sorry for my English i from Ukrenian/ You video is very good i teach meny good momets!))) Make more video please!

Greetings from Thailand
perfect work - congratulations
Absolutely brilliant thanks.
Amazing talent, thank you for sharing this! Also here's a tip: what you made is called a candlestick holder. The candlestick goes inside it.
Just seen this one, love it as always top job mate.
Simple yet beautiful...
you make it look easy, very nice work
A masterpiece of beauty
That is a very elegant candlestick, great looking project.
I always get so excited to see a new video from you. Haven't watched yet, but I know it's a good job. ;)

I like all your works it's amazing... Sorry for Mi bad english.
you are master! I immediately remembered that Christmas was coming soon! )))
In some cities East of Siberia boiled metal vertical rack and on all sides привариваю short pipe diameter 1/2 - 3/4 inches. Then cut FIR branches and inserted in the side short pipes. Get simulation live Christmas tree. And Forest did not hurt and children are satisfied)))
fine work. Thank you.
Very nice lily shape , some may call it a tulip any way it's great, gives me a new task to try in these crazy days .
I don't have a power hammer so I just hammer and anvil it. Thank you for the video upload
So beautiful!!
Beautiful

Du är verkligen fantastiskt duktig hantverksmässigt! Plus att du är konstnärlig och har känsla för form! Tröttnar aldrig på dina videor! Keep it up!
Åh, tack så mycket!
Amazing
Very nice
Very good .
It is fantastic to look that video. Nice piece of work. I take some good ideas from your channel.
+Konstantin D Thanks! Great, do that.
Damn you're good Torbjörn. thanks to you I've decided to start blacksmithing myself!
Fasen vad duktigt du är Torbjörn! Vi köpte oss precis en liten gård och du kan ge dig på fasen på att jag kommer ge mig på det här hantverket också! :-)
+Magnus Karlsson Ha ha, tack tack. Det gör du väl rätt i tycker jag. Lycka till!
Cool video.
Verry verry Nice job.pat from Belgium 🔪
Nice job
Thanks!
I love your work. My forging skills are not as good as yours, but I hope they will someday.
Hej Torbjörn, mycket bra arbeite. Du Arbe som en Proffs. Dina kunskaper är utmärkta. Jag hoppas vi kann träffas snart. Hälsningar fr. Tyskland.
+elchschmiede Hej!! Tack! Ja, det vore mycket trevligt.
Sweet!
Really great, as others already said, it's sad we can't see more videos more often :p But the quality is there thank you !
+Raaampage Thanks
I love your videos. Can I suggest that you indicate the amount of time it takes to complete these items?
снимай чаще ! молодец !
I'd imagine you could have a lot of fun by turning that into a sculpture. I think you could make something that looks like it belongs in a Tim Burton movie
lovely
I always look forward to seeing the next project, this one is amazing in that it takes the violence of hammer blows and creates something graceful. Question....if you accidentally thin out a piece too much (which there are no such things as accidents right?) is it recoverable? Thank you so much for sharing!
+God's Touch Ministry The River's Edge Thanks! If thinned out too much it's usually beyond repair. If you're drawing out and the work piece still is in "bar shape", you often can upset it back.
beautiful
Thanks!
Beautiful as ever. Merry Christmas.

Thanks!
Good work! I like it :) It is a pity that the video output is rarely :(
Mark Fisher. Ukraine.
Faan så snygg! Vackert arbete som vanligt :)
+Marcus Nystrom Tackarrrr!
🇧🇷😎👍 que peça linda 👏👏👏👏
que buen video!
+Miguel Antonio Altuve Febres Thanks!
riktigt bra video! god jul!
+viktor Rygielski Tack det samma!
simplesmente lindo...
Such an amazing piece! The power hammer is very cool. Is blacksmithing your job or just a hobby?
+knives&stuff Just a hobby for now...
+Torbjörn Åhman Why just a hobby? Are you not selling anything? Doing custom items for people? Cause I think you could if you went on multiple websites like Etsy as a start. I've seen lots of handcrafted items go and they aren't as high quality as yours I'd say.
I am also interested in the forge, powerhammer and your files. The files seem to be extremely tough and the forge is something I would love to have if I ever get around to start smithing.
magnusbjarnisk
I've started selling some items, but I'm going easy since the time is limited. :)
That probably explains it. Could you tell me what you sold and how long it took to make (approximately)?
magnusbjarnisk I've sold a couple of candle holders / candlesticks for example. They usually take around 2h to make.
Hello Torbjorn! At 6:07, why did you change to the anvil block? I ask because I greatly appreciate your videos and your work. I have learned a lot from you and other talented smiths that take the time to post videos to CZcams. Thank You in advance!Ron
Can't quite remember :) My anvil is quite wide and I think I wanted to avoid bending the tapered "stem"... It's not a linear taper so it can't lay flat on the anvil. If that makes sense...
Den nya hammaren verkar vara en bra investering. :) Jösses, den hanterar materialet som om det vore kakdeg!
+dixonqwerty Jo, man får passa sig, lätt att göra bort sig fort :)
Nice. You could also make the "shaft" twisted, but that's up to personal preference i guess
+Daniel Thu Yes, there are numerous design possibilities!
very cool！！！！！
Muito Bom torbjorn parabens muito bom gosto
BlacsksmithBrazil
+Blacksmith Brazil Thanks!
Your work is so fucking awesome! It's really relaxing for me to watch what are you doing :D after hard day ...
+Bartek K Thanks!
Very nice and beautiful results! What was the finish you put on it?
Thanks. That's good old boiled linseed oil.
Good work I love it too
Is this oil of a certain type for use
And what kind of oil
I use linseed oil for the black finish.
очень красиво вышло
WOW!!!!!!
The candle holder is elegant. how do you like the new power hammer?
+Paul Krzysz Thanks. It's working alright I think. There is a problem with the lower die mount, which is not done in a good way. There is a "new" mount made to fit anyang 75kg dies. I have to fix that somehow in the future. I can't wedge the die as tight as it should be....
