Blacksmithing - Making a Hori Hori - Spade,Knife and Saw!?

[@bobross5580]

There is something graceful about your work. There is no fast forward, only rewind! Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thank you!

[@backupviber6285]

​@@torbjornahmanhi, can you advice what is your hammer type ?

[@torbjornahman]

@@backupviber6285 You have to be more specific? Not sure what you refer to.

[@backupviber6285]

@@torbjornahman ahhhh yes, what is your large automatic forging hummer type ?

[@torbjornahman]

@@backupviber6285 It's an old german made Beche hammer. 75kg ram.

[@BernardSandler]

Worked in a community garden that had a few of these. Initially thought they were gimmicky, but really grew to like how generally functional the shape turned out to be. Yours is a thing of beauty. I love your capacity to bring the metal back from that awkward lobe shape imparted by the power hammer to a nice clean end without having to sheer it off. Much skill.

[@BernardSandler]

Oh, if you intend to use this, you will really want a belt sheath.

[@steev927]

Yeah this is a beauty... but to any gardeners out there, a really simple cheap version does the trick as well! Love these tools.

[@-allarr-]

Every single time I watch this man work, I am blown away by the utter mastery of the art. Your work is an inspiration.

[@BlackBearForge]

Nice practical project, just in time for the snow.

[@happyfarmer6411]

Great garlic planter

[@stevedando7226]

Use it to make ice holes to go ice fishing 😮

[@SmilefortheJudge]

What’s a snow?

[@ramnereds]

Great for checking snow depth on the windshield! ;-)

[@moshesabag6004]

With great respect,I like your professional way for taking care to all details,without talking,thank you!

[@Dornul]

This is my first time watching one of your videos. I particularly love how close you forge to the finished product, whereas other smiths often just forge a square billet and cut and grind to the final shape. Verry cool to see, and awesome end result too!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks man!

[@TallCommander]

Thanks for sharing another tool make. Always amazing to watch you working.

[@brucek6563]

My wife has one of those she bought at a store!!! It is no where near the quality of workmanship of yours!!! Awesome work!!!!

[@HubLabRestore]

This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy seeing on KZbin. Just someone showing their skill without embellishment or excess showmanship. Also, I appreciate that you show what can be done with limited tools. Makes it less scary for beginners to try.

[@gonzalezvalencialeonel9563]

For years I carried one of these everyday on my belt. It's one of my favorite tools for my trade and it makes me happy to see people appreciate them Good work!

[@theflyingfool]

Ah! It's made my day watching this lovely project Torbjörn! A thing of beauty, crafted beautifully :D

[@missidominici]

The chuckle when he realizes he lined up the glue on the handle with the holes lol. 15:47

😎

[@PapaDan]

Thank you ThunderBear. You never disappoint. Greatest Love to You and yours

[@mclovinirish]

So delighted to see actual forging. When you hammered in the shoulders it was refreshing. To many people now think that grinding a piece of metal then heating and quenching it is forging.

[@plainnpretty]

his work is amazing

[@darenscott1718]

Nobody thinks that is forging, but everyone knows it's a very practical and quick way to make a tool.

[@mclovinirish]

@ I’ve seen many videos of “I forged a ….” And that’s exactly what they did. So I’m afraid there are people that believe it’s forging.

[@plainnpretty]

@@mclovinirish yes I've seen a coulpe of those its not shaping the metal with a hammer its shaping with a grinder which is ok just not forging .

[@gregwaters944]

Beautiful piece, love the selection of wood for the handle.

[@johnsisk5914]

Very well done sir. Your talents are inspiring and your craftsmanship is impeccable. Your video and editing talents are also not to be overlooked. All around, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!

[@plainnpretty]

well said i agree

[@andersjjensen]

Gardening was not the first thought I had when I saw this tool. My first instinct was "Every infantryman needs one of these!".

[@MasterOfNone2023]

I would have found it incredibly useful

[@AdventuringJD]

You’ve just unlocked a whole new level to the phrase “Warrior in a Garden” 😂

[@BruceBoschek]

As always, art and metalworking combined for a stunning outcome. It is always a joy to watch your work and the results. Thanks so much for another wonderful video and greetings from Germany.

[@torbjornahman]

Again, thank you!!

[@benbos6625]

@@torbjornahmanand that extends to The Netherlands, too second that. After a hard day work its therapeutic to see a job done in one go! Thank you very much Torbjornahman. (at 8:10, burning fingers? nice you left it in the video, only the confident do that)

[@emilandersson1413]

Ett underbart arbete som vanligt! Det är denna typ av inspiration som gör att jag äntligen startade upp min ässja efter ett på tok för långt sommar uppehåll. Tack !

[@torbjornahman]

Trevligt, tack!

[@tonyn3123]

Nice garden tool and execution to the fabrication. I had never heard of Hori Hori either, but it sure looks efficient. Thanks.

[@electricAB]

Thanks for making my day! Always a pleasure to watch your craftsmanship.

[@moncopenmoncopen943]

Every single video I've seen from you is just amazing. Watching them is better than meditation. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, thank you very much!

[@Einherjar_17]

Beautiful work and beautiful finish, when you see it, you know who made it, not only because of the logo on the blade, but also because of the entire finish of the piece, a true handicraft. Thank you very much for sharing your videos, I send you a hug from the south of Argentina.

[@scrqqge]

Duuuude! Now you made me crave for a knife i did not even know existed! Nicely done!

[@panedrop]

You're my favorite blacksmith on YT, you don't just make knives that look cool, you actually make useful implements and purely decorative items that would be the bread and butter of any functional smithy, IMO. I want one of these as a Xmas present for my mom.

[@mounir101]

Pretty amazing tool. I like it and like all other things you have made on this channel. Best content and thanks so much for everything.

[@mato9282]

Perfect timing! I just used one of these for the first time yesterday. Going to have to buy one now, it was really handy!

[@williamcunha9136]

Danke für Ihren Beitrag. Es war schön Ihnen beim erschaffen des tollen Werkzeugs zu zuschauen.

[@RameshNayak-bm6sx]

The eye for aesthetics & improvisation is a rare combinstion in an artist like you who will surely inspire the next generation to love metal, fire, wood & the philosophy of minimalism. I love blacksmithy. I would request you to incorporate an edge of an axe & the head of a hammer at the tip of this grand symphony. God bless you with all that is good & the title of a great grandfather for many generations🙏❤️

[@maggusragnar9368]

tak torbjörn! your videos are a treat!

[@bronzalba1159]

You made a new and useful tool, beautiful as always good luck

[@woody442]

You are an equally great filmmaker as you're a craftsman. The way you present your work is a perfect mix of art, entertainment, documentation and instructions. The process always super clean, the result super sexy.

Sweet, thank you!

Excellent love the craftsmanship and devotion you show in your craft well done

Another beautiful work of art Torbjörn. Thanks for a great video.

Your mental wit and comedic charm is severely underrated! Very entertaining, thanks for the content!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@dazaspc]

Very nice job as usual. Also great to see you recycling some old metal. I used old springs for most of my projects. Worth making friends with the local scrap metal yard. They put aside Wrought Iron for me when it comes in in workable sizes. The difference under the hammer is quite astounding. It works really easily and I have done a few replica old style stuff like hinges, door knocks and a fancy hanger rail.

[@torbjornahman]

Nice! That's good!

[@johnrossiter3185]

Merci Torbjörn pour cette exécution magistrale d'un grand maître de la forge, du travail du bois, de la réalisation cinématographique qui allie l'intelligence, la beauté du geste par sa maîtrise totale, celle de l'objet, l'utilité réelle de ce dernier et la transmission d'un savoir faire ancestral et traditionnel qui s'appuie sur la recherche de la perfection et de l'harmonie en toutes choses ! Un apaisement pour l'âme et un ravissement pour l'Esprit que j'attends avec impatience au fil des mois et que je ne manquerais pour rien au monde. Exceptionnel à ce jour sur KZbin ! 👍

I use a hori hori for gardening (nothing as fancy - the plainest version made by Nisaku). It's remarkable how versatile of a tool this is (keeping my planters in good shape is a breeze now), and yes, as others mentioned, a good sheath is a must.

[@TECsta76]

With age I concluded Irony was possibly one of the most crucial factors of life. This kind of metalwork has a ton of irony to it! Firstly it is without doubt the best medium to be creative with, the strength and longevity on its own being superior! However the amount of resources it would take to setup and forge these items really does have an ironic impact! Which( you are relatively free of.. lol
