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.

[@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!

[@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 .

[@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!!!!

[@PapaDan]

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

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

[@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

[@theflyingfool]

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

[@sebastianblass73]

Ok, now I know what im gonna make for my dad! A perfect took for him when he is doing gardening ❤

[@torbjornahman]

Sounds perfect! Good luck.

[@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!

[@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)

[@electricAB]

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

[@Antonio-bi7eh]

Como siempre, un trabajo excelente y muy útil. La verdad es que no conocía esa herramienta de jardinería. Enhorabuena!!!😊😊😊

[@DrunkenDemon]

It was really cool to hear the change in the metal happening while going from red got to "cool" :)

[@marcbossa7402]

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 ! 👍

[@torbjornahman]

Merci!!!

[@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.

[@colinrountree4325]

Great to watch a real master at work! Fascinating!👍👍

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks 👍

[@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]

Another Awesome Job Mr. T! I Cannot Thank You Enough for taking the time to share your skills.

[@torbjornahman]

Great, thank you!

[@gregwaters944]

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

[@FedorKorsakov]

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.

[@waveman0]

this is a tool I very much like, practical and looks like it would be quite versatile.

[@scrqqge]

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

[@richr7604]

Great job on a beautiful and functional tool. I enjoyed watching hing your skills both metalsmithing and woodworking. Thank you for sharing.

[@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.

[@torbjornahman]

Sweet, thank you!

[@craw0967]

This might be my favorite project of yours yet. Love it.

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, thanks!

[@tonyn3123]

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

[@user-dg7sy8cz3b]

Leave it to Torbjorn to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary beautiful. Another literal masterpiece. ❤️

[@highsensibel]

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

[@IamFormaggio]

Beautiful work. You can leave the brass pins long and heat them before trimming/sanding flush. It burns the wood slightly and leaves a slim dark ring. Just an extra detail to try out.

[@darenscott1718]

Sounds like a good way compromise the epoxy. But it would look cool.

[@fredivalle-js4gv]

This es really a deluxe tool...simply fantastic the creator bless you be well and good health

[@MarkRyanAB]

Probably my favorite piece you've made.

[@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!

[@Sp1der44]

The soldier and boy scout in me really appreciates the elegance of this beautifully crafted tool. That handle is really giving it a next level of craftsmanship. Great stuff. 🙂🫡

[@fireplusbirdfilms6517]

I owe my wife one of these as soon as I finish two knives I have in process. This is an awesome tutorial.

[@torbjornahman]

Right on! Thanks!

[@ericperkins3078]

Thank God you're back. I was missing your skills and craftsmanship. Hope all including your family is well in Sweden!!

Нравится тихая уютная атмосфера, нет музыки и лишних звуков, только работа 👍🏻

[@DogDog173]

good job. love how you evenly spaced the teeth of the saw and they're all the same size, too!

[@b9brutality]

That is one of my favorite things I've ever seen forged!

[@torbjornahman]

Cool, thanks!

[@shaneharrison4775]

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

[@mikehayes5919]

Great work as always. The handle is a real work of art. I love that birch wood. Nice work on the saw edge I never knew how you would make a saw edge. Glad I didn't see any bandages while you were working on it. That looked pretty sharp.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! It's not a "proper" saw edge, I would call it an interrupted knife edge...

[@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

[@outbackladas]

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a garden tool like that before, but then I’m not much of a gardener. Beautiful job all round, especially the handle, that curly burch looks great 👍. It’s a pity about your countries restrictions on importing timber, I’d like to send you over a piece of Tasmanian fiddleback oak, it would look great on that tool. Regards from Down Under.

[@torbjornahman]

I'll look into that once more... maybe a small "sample" is ok?! :) Hope you're enjoying the warmer weather coming your way... here it's pretty dull right now....
