Blacksmithing - Making the candle snuffer

In this video I show how to forge and shape a simple candle snuffer from pieces of scrap. A fun project that you easily can redesign and make your own.

Awesome example of finesse and gentleness in the rough and rigorous world of blacksmithing. Another fine job my friend 👏 👍

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks James!

You are a true renaissance man. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@Jay-kk2rd]

Thank you Torbjorn (sorry - don’t know how to get those special characters). Your videos are such a pleasure to watch. I’d like to see more. Your approach is so methodical and exact. And your videos are expertly produced. Your pride and attention to detail is evident.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Jay!

[@user-te5er3mm2u]

It's a masterpiece, like a musical letter thanks

[@Acampestre]

Jay, for Å you press the ALT key and type 0197 on the numberfield, for ö it is the ALT key and 0246. Usinf that might be considered a minute return in meticulousness for all the effort Torbjörn offers to us.

Well done again. How you take such big tools and make such delicate things is beyond me.

[@Cowboy_Ash]

Some people come into this world and make it more beautiful. Well done as always.

[@bawrytr]

Great work as always - I've been forging for a few months, and the more I learn the better these videos get. The brazing with the brass strips was really cool.

[@bawrytr]

The wire wrap, too.

[@torbjornahman]

Great!

The epitome of forging finesse and not so simple to achieve, elegance. Loved the forge brazing, wire wrap, making the rivets and the outstanding videography...truly inspiring Torbjorn!! Hat Tip, ~PJ

As always, subtle design and perfect workmanship.

[@da1t0n]

The whole video was mesmerizing, but specially at 6:45 where making that curved tip was just SO damn pleasing to watch. The gentle and methodical hits, the timing, the perfect camera angle/lighting and offcourse the result... was simply perfect! Thanks for another beautiful video Torbjorn!

[@torbjornahman]

Fantastic to hear! Thanks

[@howler6490]

There is something very, very satifying about this job Torbjorn, I can't put my mind on why... I can't put words to it... But it almost brought tears to my eyes. Superb. Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@demircidedem6608]

Workmanship is awesome..⚒️⚒️

[@JohnChapman7]

Imagine your grandchildren finding this strange hand made item decades in the future. They can find this video (and my comment) to see the care and craftsmanship that was put into the heirloom they hold. Very interesting!

[@julianmathis3771]

Hurrah!!! Another video. The way you managed to make it match up to the drawing on the anvil is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing the process.👍👍👍😊😊.

[@gianluigicastello7877]

Sentivo già la mancanza di un tuo video, praticamente ero in "astinenza"! È sempre bello vederti all'opera. Complimenti! 👍👍👍

Beautiful as always, you are a craftsman of the highest magnitude. Been watching for you daily,thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, thank you

[@NBZW]

@@torbjornahman It is always fascinating to watch, the slightest hammer strikes, tying bailing wire like it’s twine. It’s me who needs to say WOW!! The good lord has blessed you my friend and you’re humbleness shows your respect .

.... a fabulous item for an old castle)))))

[@engelbennet6178]

Der Meister ist wieder zurück! Das ist wieder so perfekt! Vielen Dank :)

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@NicolaP269]

Hi Torbjörn, from your hands even a humble object like a candle snuffer becomes a work of art.

[@pascaljecker8348]

It’s marvellous. You have Gold ni your hand. Bravo !!! Continue to amaze us.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you

[@Opelmannen1224]

Again a very good video, and a new work of art created. It is alomost anoing to see how you "just" sketch someting on the anvil, and then form a piece of steel to exactly match it. Also I sit and wonder "how is he going to close up the cone, is going to weld or..." And again "how is he going to fix the handle to the cone, welding, soldering or...." Absolutely a pleasure to watch Torbjørn.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thank you Björn!

[@Brian18741]

I think it's safe to say well watch you make anything at this stage 👍 amazing job as always!

[@paulmachak9853]

An excellent video in all ways. Thank you.

[@shortfuse43]

Simple, decorative, functional...what more could one ask? Nice.

[@jebowlin3879]

I like this, everyone seems like they are doing knives and the like, this is what a blacksmith did as his bread and butter, make things for the locals, awesome to see

[@mounir101]

Another nice tool you made bro, i like it. Thanks Torbjorn and God bless endlessly.

[@Kate_Fyria]

In all my time working with brass and copper and using silver solder did it occur to me that you could use brass and copper as solder for things with even higher melting points. This is fantastic. Thank you for the unintentional lesson today!

[@phuzzygreene]

Excellent choice of a "simple" candle snuffer to quickly illustrate many techniques. Nice video.

[@brysonalden5414]

Another great illustration of how taking the time to do all the little details right produces a result which reflects the smith's skill. Thanks for the reminder!

[@brianmcgill7314]

I throughly enjoyed this one. I wish you and your family all the best 2022 Thunder Bear 🐻

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks and the same to you!

[@lecompterc83]

The wrap on the handle is a beautiful touch.

[@JeffSearust]

Was just thinking the wrapped wire collar is something new... I like that look.

[@clydebalcom3679]

That is pure art. It is so elegant yet so simple. Outstanding job, Outstanding work.

[@dryroasted5599]

I thought, "Maybe he will braze the seam on the cone," and then you did! Very eloquent design. Tak!

Trevligt! Lycka till

[@kevingesch477]

Great work - simple and elegant.

[@ButterflyMatt]

Super smooth edits on the squaring of the rod, and the brazing was amazing. I don’t think I’ve seen forge brazing before.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks !

[@javedmir7989]

It is very therapeutic watching you work !

[@samcoote9653]

Very nice seeing you use slightly different methods on this one Torbjorn, brazing instead of forge welding, and copper rivets instead of steel. Also your control of a hammer really is legendary, goes to show sometimes its better to do lots of small hammer strokes rather than great big heaving blows, really cool project. Im always amazed how you overlay your parts over the sketches and theyre exactly perfect haha. Thanks mate :)

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Sam!

[@milinkovujic9467]

Great work, there are many details that you pay attention to. Continue like that

You made this look so easy, I could fool myself into thinking I could make one tomorrow and I've never forged so much as a sharp stick.

I love the little hook you used to keep the wire "clamp" from riding up the cone when you twisted it tight (2:50). Another technique of yours that I've filed away.

[@kladar]

Wow, with every new video you amaze me more and more. Wish I could do something like that, I have blacksmith shop and equipment but my grandfather won't let me try new things. Keep up the good work.👏
