Blacksmithing - Forging an advent candle holder

[@risfutile]

Viewers of the Torbjörn, who are you and why are you here? I'm an electrical engineer from Germany just out of uni. I like shop work but never done much except a bit of woodworking every now and then. But seeing a skilled craftsman right in his element is pure joy.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks!

[@XD-rw1bn]

Greetings from Belgium! I am an electrical engineer and computer scientist. But in my free time I love fiddling about with pretty much anything, be it wood or metal. (Although, must admit, metal has my preference.) And I really love the channel for it's content and ideas. (And also secretly like the non shop shots ...)

[@BCM1959]

I'm a retired (cancer) construction worker in California. I enjoy watching his work and when I get a bit of my health back I'm going to give a try at blacksmithing as a hobby. Thunder Bear has a skill level that is worth striving for.

I am a carpenter from germeny. and i am here because i love every craft work with metal, wood or other materials

[@robvanza]

From Pretoria, South Africa. amateur "DIY Specialist". I love to see an artist that can work with steel and he never dissapoints! Even something small to complicated fabrications always a pleasure to watch!

[@randysimpson7625]

I am a retired programmer currently working part time tutoring 4th grade math in western North Carolina, USA. Long time wood worker just starting to learn metal work. Just completed my first welding certification class and thinking about taking a beginning forging class at my local community college. I very much enjoy watching these videos, very relaxing and the skill is amazing.

[@torbjornahman]

Sounds perfect for you! Good luck and thanks!

I am a vehicle inspector in New York State, USA. I was a school bus mechanic for 20 years and always have enjoyed fabrication and working with metal. Another great video.

Another awesome video! I’m a U.S. Soldier, retired with thirty years and have some disabilities including PTSD. Watching your channel has been very therapeutic for me to relax. Watching you take a chunk of metal and making something beautiful out of it. (Yes, your tools and wooden handles are beautiful!). Thank you again for sharing your passion with all of us!

[@m2hmghb]

I'm always so glad to see your videos pop up in my feed. Days like today when I'm doing poorly they're appreciated even more. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!

[@shaungibson2033]

Merry Christmas to your family and countrymen.

Bless the steel fairy, love the winter scenery, I love that you show your stamp mark on each video and I laughed at the bloopers! Always an immense pleasure to chill with your videos! Thanks Torbjörn!

[@marcsenteney3160]

I am here because you sir have provided some amazing skills in smithing, construction, gardening and dare I say cooking? But mostly for the skills you show in Blacksmithing. You and many others sir inspire me to be creative and above all else enjoy smithing. And I thank you for it!

[@torbjornahman]

Very cool, thanks!

[@jeremythomas4392]

I have been hobby level smithing for 5 years now and to this day your videos are a constant inspiration to me and my work. And the sheer simplicity and elegance demonstrated in your work is a sight to behold. Forge on and keep up the amazing work, sir. SKÅL

[@torbjornahman]

Perfect! thank you so much!

Absolute artwork my friend. Nicely done. Plus, the outtake at the very end caught me off guard and I laughed out loud in my office during lunch break at work. Thank you for the video.

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thanks!

[@andreasgiobel6355]

Hi, I’ve watched this for maybe a year or so. I think This is a high quality KZbin channel, good simple video compositions and interesting craftsmanship with skilled craftsman. I like that it’s “unknown” territory of craftsmanship in these days. I’m Mechanical Engineer /Design Engineer from Sweden. I’m glad that I found this on KZbin, it’s relaxing to watch.

[@torbjornahman]

Tack!!

[@Furree_68]

Few people can make such a beautiful thing out of a regtangular piece of Iron.

[@clarklindquist8137]

Love the blooper..... Love that you show stuff happens, and it's not always perfect.....

[@rajendraambavane3126]

While watching I was telling myself that you are superb, just awesome! Every video of yours has given me a feeling of sheer joy, pure happiness! You are a true craftsman. I'm an HVAC technician and an electrician based in Mumbai, India, and do have a lot of interest in such artistic things. 🇮🇳🙏

[@torbjornahman]

Cool, thank you!

I'm a retired communications engineer...Atlanta Georgia...My great grandfather was a Blacksmith & moonshiner in the early 1900's...a fascinating character to say the least...as I, he would be in awe of your shop! So I have a connection as I see him through you...You have a natural talent and become one with the steel you forge, a true artist. Your abilities are quite astounding....I'm in process of watching all your videos from beginning. Thanks & God Bless...

[@mitchelperkins6723]

Simple functional beauty. Nice design. And now we know what the long slitting chisel was for.

[@matthewt88]

I took some guilty pleasure in watching Torbjorn struggle a bit holding and drifting the workpiece. I wrote that country song!

[@robertgriffin662]

Came home from an awesome day with my brother's family. First thing i did was watch this vid. Day could not be better!

[@killerkane1957]

Once again you bring a seasons tear to a glass eye! Torbjorn! You worked hard on this one. Plugs are genius. You heard me when you blackened the felt edges. You showed warts and all with typical drifting issues: tools falling etc. We KNEW the new slitting tool would show up soon! Outstanding Torbjorn!!

[@torbjornahman]

:) So sweet, thank you! I hope you had a great thanksgiving!

[@sennest]

Torbjörn, who doesn't adore your Christmas videos and projects??!! I was excited to see the season shaping up in your household. Thank you for sharing! Oh, school teacher!

Monolithic creativity at its best. Wow Waiting for more such videos.

[@j.b.6855]

Merry Christmas and the coming of Christ. Each thing you make is a work of art. Blacksmith objects are functional, but are seldom so nice to look at as yours.

[@jonanderson5137]

I used pine tar and linseed oil on a couple walking sticks a few years ago. The finish is fairly resilient. I use a heat gun if the wood cracks and reuse the pine tar that was impregnated to reseal. It's a great black.

[@robroy5729]

love the song at the end! have heard it for 28 years so far and it doesnt get old, just like your videos.

[@radupetrupetica]

Wow, wonderful work, and your slitting chisel tool really came in handy for crafting it! Something which I love very much is that each object which you craft can almost be felt after you give it the final touches, and that's something great. The snow and scenery outside is magical. :)

Tnx for sharing, liked the (another) demonstration of the tool and the end result as well ! ... interesting to see the tar staining, i think i prefer it over a paint job as it doesn't cover the metal.
