Probably the top smithing videos on the net. No silly music, good camerawork, excellent editing... You set the bar high, Sir. I look forward to seeing what comes next -- as long as it's not more spiders.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you V !!

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

Wow! That is just great craftsmanship. I only used the drill press. Locked a bolt in the drill press and drilled a hole the size needed. then ground the bolt down to sharp, size to cut the hole in gasket material, that I needed. Either way is tedious, no matter which way chosen. Great video, thanks for sharing.

It was a weekend course 25 years ago so I thing it’s Torbjörn’s own hard work and willingness to acquire new skills in the craft that have made the difference.

and these were the tools I used to punch out thick rubber for the mallets used to play the instruments we made at Bird Musical Woodcraft in Sacramento, Ca. USA. Used for wooden slot drums and marimbas. We would weave yarn around the rubber tips on 1/4 in. dowels to make strong but pleasant sound on instruments. The old woodshop now long gone, but our instruments sold all over the USA at craft shows, fairs, etc.

As a woodworker I always marvel at metal workers. I work to a very tight tolerance with my wood projects, but as precise as I try to be, it never reaches the precision of a metal worker. To take a piece of steel from the forge, beat it with a power hammer and then a hand held hammer is one thing. But it is another to take it to a lathe and machine it to a very high tolerance. Wonderful.

OMG! I have been using "arch punches" for decades, but never have I seen how they were__or could be__produced! Just a few days ago, I used a 5/8" punch to cut some .008" shim stock, the first time I've ever used one for anything besides rubber, leather or gasket material. I ALWAYS make it a point to support whatever I'm cutting with the end-grain of either a 4x4 or 6x6 timber, so as to not damage the cutting edge (I once STOPPED a guy in a plant that was punching holes in a gasket directly on a concrete floor; he was complaining about the punch doing a lousy job__I could've beaten him__the cutting edge looked more like a caulking tool after he'd killed it). I've been watching videos on computers for almost twenty (
