Blacksmithing - Forging my first 3lb rounding hammer

[@gatebilfan]

amazing work, i liked the wide angle where we could see your workshop, positioning of the forge, anvil, powerhammer, tools...

[@edwardsexperience6234]

My feelings exactly!

[@SirSpinalColumn]

This is very therapeutic to watch. Greetings from Sydney Australia!

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

[@macward3041]

This video really hit the nail on the head...

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.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!

[@Jimcarl1313]

excellent hammer and damn fine video to boot. Thank you for taking the time to make and share both.

[@torbjornahman]

Jim Turman Thanks!

[@bradymcphail9690]

I just re-watched this video for the 4 time. 1 of my favorite videos! definitely 1 of the best Blacksmithing channels. thank you again friend.

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, great!

[@jakemallett2239]

i like the camera angle of your whole work shop

[@BlackBearForge]

Nice thorough video. I love the mini drawing dies

[@davidhalling7671]

Loving the speed up sound of your powerhammer =) Very nice work!

[@ryanmarshall8030]

Interesting to see the blacksmithing process. There has always been a sort of mystery behind this skill for me personally. Good to see people are keeping the practice alive in modern times

[@MrPafleouf]

i'd love to know forging as you do ! This is ever so cool to watch, and trying to learn just by watching ! This hammer is beautiful !

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@ecleveland1]

There is always such a since of satisfaction when you make something yourself. Very nice work.

[@jeroenconinx6121]

Awesome craftmanship! I'm a welder but I'd love to learn blacksmithing and get close to the skill you have some day!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@dakotaperalta1302]

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

[@edmorris5007]

Another really good video, detailing the entire hammer making process....Thanks! I really learn a lot from you...

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@byron1015]

Torbjorn top notch. Hard work well rewarded with a thing of simple practical beauty!!

[@shanep5121]

Beautiful work and excellent video skills.

[@anthonykent7983]

Truly a thing of beauty! Thanks for sharing your time and effort with us bro Anthony Kent

[@francescomidknight8621]

Amizing hammer, mate and what a wonderful video! Very informative, it's nice to see excellent quality european (metric system, yes!) bleacksmithing videos, finally! I have seen all your videos, great channel Torbjörn, keep forging and please keep making videos!

[@torbjornahman]

Nerfeel Thank you!

[@peteslonka7328]

wow! what a work of art! The video was fantastic and I was mesmerized by the entire process! Thank you for sharing.

[@hommebizzare]

Blacksmithing looks so goddamn satisfying... I really want to get started on it, but definitely as a hoobyist aswell. I could never sell a piece of art like this

[@christiancorrado7686]

With time and practice you can, don't sell yourself short

[@jimjewy]

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

[@brielslovak2649]

blacksmith work what beautiful work

[@fbales]

Impressive. Looks like you are learning your craft well. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@torbjornahman]

+Fireworxs2012 1045 is cheaper, easier to get hold of, forge and heat treat.

[@Faust1169]

+Torbjörn Åhman how long did it take?

[@torbjornahman]

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 ... :)

[@mikejanzer6696]

Torbjörn Åhman Do u sell your Hammers ??

[@rohitsoni2250]

[@MagicGiant]

We really liked your clip. You need to make more

[@AxelSteel84]

If u need a hammer to forge a hammer who forged the first hammer and how

[@beju0506]

Thor ;-D

[@harryjoe860]

A guy with a lot of rocks

[@richardfry19]

darude-sandstorm

[@jericieiliel5154]

Stone hammers: leather/plant fibers, hard stone, and a stick, forged by "cave men"

[@leviwhitfield4748]

bronze hammer because they were cast not forged

[@dimmaz88]

Beautiful, could watch you work all day!

[@CommieHedgehog]

Anyone who just got dumped should watch this guys vids. so calming...

[@SK-zl6sl]

CommieHedgehog *I'm guessing you are speaking from experience?*

[@OMCbuilt]

I thought you said "anywho who is taking a dump" I agree either way

[@robs9574]

that's real nice there, wish you had a bunch more videos. Thanks for sharing

[@MrOzzy281]

Apparently this guy buys his tools then turns them into blocks but puts the videos on KZbin backwards.

[@torbjornahman]

Walter White Yep, don't tell anyone...

[@maxbeasty1946]

[@joefalmo5528]

looking good. NOT a waste of time looks like you are enjoying it looking forward to more

[@messerist]

Is "sexy" a wrong adjective for a hammer?

[@PaulKrzysz]

The finished hammer looks very clean. As always the video was enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

[@MrJgstoner]

what i wouldn't give for an auto hammer. bravo

[@danielson1989]

Just get someone else to hit it for you 😂

[@igorvkuznetsov3518]

Torbjorn Thanks for another quality film - it is inspiring :) - I am a jewelry designer /goldsmith from Connecticut USA -sometime I am making steel tools for myself, yet all my hammers are good quality made in Germany :)))

[@torbjornahman]

ok! Thanks!!

[@woshigepro2]

IT look so nice!

[@csle1962]

Me, too.

[@bryquentros]

I made my first rounding hammer this summer. Four pounds of awesome. I can't wait to make more. You did a great job. Very good looking hammer. Wish I had a power hammer at home. Keep em coming.

[@torbjornahman]

Great, thank you!

[@dylanupdyke3280]

Hello from Maine, USA! .....can you make me one? lol ;) nice job!

[@vaneater2734]

I watched this so long ago that now I can watch it again and it’s like a new video. Your videos are so awesome.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@workingwithiron]

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! Nathan

[@torbjornahman]

***** 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.

[@alexandernordenson9607]

This is beautiful. You are a credit to smiths everywhere

[@s4mb0ne]

BUILD EM UP BREAK DOWN

[@charlesfee6453]

Just watched you forge a 3 lb hammer. Beautiful work ! Shows extensive knowledge and experience. Thanks !

[@torbjornahman]

Cool. Thanks!

[@detinator5]

Wonder how the first metal hammer was made, What the hell hammered it :X

[@torbjornahman]

+TopkekBootyDubs Some stones probably....

[@burakayan1429]

+TopkekBootyDubs I asked same question myself :D

[@shivoskate]

+Torbjörn Åhman or casted one ?

[@owenspain6267]

+shivoskate how did they cast it?

[@torbjornahman]

BLaZE Mobile Definitely not cast...

[@wojpm2000]

I Loved it!!!! I was a fellow Metal worker myself, I worked in the Foundries and Machine Shops for almost 20 Years and til this day reministing on some of the memories of doing Metal work and watching people do it as wellas learning new tricks of the trade, it still amazes meon some of the Chemistry and formationing of objects from Liquid Fire to solid Metal and then forming or "Forging" and Object into something is so beautifully done, people should really learn to appreciate somwething like this because even though it flows so beautilfully it is not that simple either.

[@torbjornahman]

Patrick Wojciechowski Thank you! Yes, it's pretty amazing, and the chemistry is quite complex as well when you dig in. What is fascinating is how people learned to produce iron/steel from just trial and error and did things in the "right way" but had no clue about the underlying mechanisms...

[@luongngo629]

MOLTENN COREEEEE!!!!

[@BrentRF]

Nice job! I've been forging for around 20 years but it's always cool to watch the techniques others use. You can never have too many hammers.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@retro9754]

Great vid! Love your massive anvil! - is it ok for one guy to say that to another guy?? :-)

[@JosephusChitlinsCorp]

Beautiful craftsmanship! Also, a very relaxing video.

[@keyehek1790]

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

[@travelinganvil5711]

Great video thanks. You are showing some real skill and technique in this. I certainly learned a few things.

[@noskoffserg]

Красиво!

[@marty01957]

Good Video,Sir! Really nice Hammer! Love watching you work metal.

[@PeopleCanFly23]

That's how real men work.

[@coreyshier7526]

WOW! That came out really nice.

[@derpityderp-derp4007]

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]

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

[@pjhalchemy]

Truly a fine piece, especially for a first effort!

[@scrimdog3328]

Been smithing for around 5 months but have been metalworking all my work life only 10 years lol. I have found this video very helpfull and inspiring i think im about ready to make my first hammer. I started with a set of pipe grips a ball pein and anvil but have been slowly making my tool collectin larger. Have subscribed and will see what over knowledge i can learn from you. Cheers.

[@torbjornahman]

Dean Scrimshaw Great!

[@johnjude2685]

As I also making my first hammer but double cross pien, Indeed a challenge for me, But you always shines through. Thanks for teaching and I just make them tongs for which I believe are Brian Bazial type but just might be a much older style. Thanks for the teaching Sir

[@markmaclean5297]

love watching you videos and surely admire your skills and craftsmanship

[@AMBOSS_Silesia]

Awesome blacksmith's work. Can't wait for more videos! Best regards, Greg

[@THEtdub77]

There's something beautiful about making tools to use to make other tools. And just blacksmithing in general.

[@torbjornahman]

+THEtdub77 Yes, I agree.

[@MoreLaterDude]

My son and i loved to watch your video. I am trying to teach him about how things used to be made before mass production. He is 3 and a half years old. He is now asking me to watch diggers but we will come back and look at more of your video's soon. :D

[@torbjornahman]

Stuart Moore Lovely! Thanks.

[@francobuzzetti9424]

nice tempering method and the coal dust , i never thought of that , very informative video !! nice work

[@markphillips3250]

Beautiful job on the hammer. I can't get them here in Thailand where I'm retired. Soon I will try your technique. Have to finish building my forge first. Love watching your videos.

Very nice hammer and well done video. Probably the best forging video I have seen.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!

[@kryptoniterxn117]

beautiful, love the polished look blended in with raw iron. I'm no blacksmith but this was soothing to watch. Each strike of your hammer and watching it slowly shape the hot iron is art.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@jimrobb6325]

Beautiful a true piece of Art. Thank you

[@IamFormaggio]

This is great work and great video production. Thanks for taking the time to document your process. It's likely that the people that think you are wasting time own $3 Chinese hammers.
