Blacksmithing - Forging a bottle opener

[@AmericanPiddler]

Thanks for giving us another excellent video and something to watch that is far superior to the television! Well done sir well done!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you so much!

[@ceboz]

You don’t know how much I love and appreciate your works and your videos

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@ORflycaster]

Beautiful work. Efficiently forged, and very symmetrical.

[@Ladyoftheroundtable]

I was thinking about what my bottle opener ought to look like, and this is pretty much what I wanted.

[@mikaelstalnacke3613]

Hi Torbjörn! Aside from the amazing craftsmanship you perform, it's so nice not to hear unnecessary talk about nothing. Also nice not to hear a lot of annoying music in the background. Clean and cut craftsmanship on top! You have KZbin's most serious channel!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thank you Mikael!! Much appreciated.

[@dakel20]

That.. Is a gorgeous bottle opener.

[@mkivy]

My wife and I get so much enjoyment watching and learning. Thank you sir...and blessings to u and ur family...love this channel!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@geoffallert1921]

G'Day. People don't realise the amount of work that goes into a, seemingly, ordinary piece of equipment. Another great video. Cheers

[@karlos1008]

This is the most satisfying channel on KZbin. Well done once again mate!

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thank you Karl!

[@stuffbywoody5497]

@@torbjornahman , I noticed that you use boiled linseed oil. Is there any difference between using boiled linseed oil or raw linseed oil?

[@torbjornahman]

@@stuffbywoody5497 I don't think there is a big difference when you apply it hot.

[@stuffbywoody5497]

@@torbjornahman , I didn't think there would be, but thought I'd ask in case there was something I didn't know.

I swear the sound of your anvil is a thing of beauty. Like 180kg of pure bliss.

Phew! That was a close one! You've redeemed yourself with a beautiful bottle opener! lol

[@torbjornahman]

Great, thanks!

[@danbreyfogle8486]

That is a great looking opener. The details really make this look great.

[@angrydrummergirl2648]

Torbjörn, your work is beautiful no matter how "common" the tool!! I love the atmosphere you create on your channel :) the warmth of the forge to the warmth of your family Christmas traditions! Thank you for sharing your passion with us!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you so much!

[@Jut3333]

You even make a simple tool look amazing. Thanks.

[@stevec.4387]

SO ENTERTAINING AND RELAXING TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS! PLEASE MORE OFTEN!!!!!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thanks!

[@mikeboone4425]

As always so simple so elegant and so much work but another piece of art thank you . Happy Trails .

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Mike.

[@RyanBarnes]

I watch a lot of blacksmithing videos. When I am watching them I always look for techniques and the "how". For example, when you were using the hardy cut off tool, you struck the center until it was almost through, then you hit just to the outside of the cutting edge to part the steel. Many folks I know keep hitting the cutting edge. Another technique I saw is the flipping of the piece while enlarging the hole, also while holding it at an angle. I believe this is to both allow for uniform thickness and creating a rounded bottle opening area. Fantastic workmanship. Also, its nice to see TA make some small mistakes (chisel lines) in the work. One day I'll be able to have the skillset required that when I have small "oops" marks its not a lack of skill but an artisan's touch!

[@NKG416]

coolest blacksmith on youtube!

[@mkivy]

I always look forward to your projects. Might I add, you keep a very pristine work environment ...kudos to you sir. And blessing to you and your family. Thank you for a most satisfying peek into your masterful world. I like the hammer you are using. I watched you make that...please be careful with this disease going around.

[@glenralph5123]

Officially my favourite channel.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Great! I really appreciate your craftsmanship.

[@georgejohnson1537]

Nicely done with the added detail..........Thanks for posting

[@outbackladas]

Nice the way you forged the opening for the bottle top to sit in, turned out a good looking bottle opener. Quite a simple but practical project, well done. Still enjoying your older videos, Regards from down under.

[@ronmccombs9133]

Still my favorite blacksmith channel.

[@mastheadmike]

Beautiful details. So incredibly satisfying to watch.

Good to see you taking a break from the wood shop. Smooth and short work of that fine piece. Too bad you are tooooo far away, our AABA winterfest is in a couple of weeks. Great show of skill from various artist and bladesmiths.

[@neiljborja]

This video made me a little nostalgic, I used to crank these out in college as gifts for friends hehe. Though I feel like yours definitely turned out more elegant than the ones I made. Great video as always!

[@torbjornahman]

Great. Thanks!

[@Sidewalk_Engineer]

Beautiful piece! Thanks for another video.

[@sufianosman692]

WOW, without even thinking, i would buy any product with TA patch if its available in the market, because you are really making a very high quality products.

Love learning technique from you! Thank you teacher!

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Well, you did a great Job again. It Looks really nice. Only one thing I would add: a little hole to fix it to a desk, a key ring, your trousers or something that no drunk guy can (maybe accidentally) steal it :D I like that its a small, simple Project that everyone (at least every blacksmith) can try at home.

[@samblandford9863]

A few things about this video... 1) Awesome work, as always! 2) Your tools are looking a tad rusty... Which means you need to get back to work in the shop, providing us loyal fans with more awesome videos! 3) Loving the kitty cat place mats... ;-)

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@eldsprutandedrake]

I was going to comment on how it should have been beer instead of a cola at the end, but on second thought I think the cola was a smart choice, since like 90% of the comments would have been about the choice of beer if it was a beer ^^ Anyway, really nice job, I think this probably has the highest "want-factor" of all the things you've made so far. Since this is something I would actually use, as oppose to all the tools :P

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha... you're probably right about the beer comments.... I'm not much of a beer drinker sadly.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Excellent. Love the whole series. I guess that one will become an heirloom. :-)

It makes it black and protects it a bit like paint would.
