Blacksmithing - Making the mega spider

[@FRISKY_MANDINGO]

I am always impressed with your ingenuity. I'm sitting here thinking "how the hell is he gonna turn a flat disc into a spider? You're truly an artist. Well done.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thank you!

[@matthbva]

I was expecting him to sink two half-spheres and weld them together. Would’ve avoided the math. :) It’s not something I have the skills to do, but it can be done.

[@drmcmoose9335]

There's something wonderful about such a skilled blacksmith taking his time to make a spooky holiday decoration that is very pleasing.

[@ExecratedPlaysGaming]

Thank you for knowing how to balance audio, and for actually doing so. So many "industrial" channels don't even out the audio and I end up giving up on watching the videos just so I don't go insane from having to constantly turn the volume up and down.

[@rickerose541]

I just love the little bit of humor you put in your videos every once in awhile.

[@floydunderhill8611]

That math is scary enough! I'll take my chances with the spider!!!

[@tomahoks]

Floyd Underhill LOL

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha!

[@allanhwhite.kineticmobiles]

jason s; I am fairly sure that triangles have straight sides... stating sarcastically.

[@Coastal_Cruzer]

I am a simple man, I see a good youtuber that at least seems to genuinely like doing youtube vids, I subscribe

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks!

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

Should've added a red thick line on its back to make it look like a giant Redback Spider. Great work man.

[@vikingslayer34]

Awesome Torbjorn!

[@JoelSimonsson]

Jag sitter med ett stort leende hela filmen igenom. Du är så duktig och inspirerande. Tack!

[@torbjornahman]

Va kul, tack Joel!

[@jackgraeme3557]

For anyone who is new to blacksmithing, this guy is someone to pay attention to. Great video!

[@Treesusb]

Thanks for the heads up. I will.

[@perw12345]

Make ten of those and just randomly hide them in the forest

[@Senkomst]

Det här är en så fin film! Tack!

[@benwarren2559]

Make 10 of and randomly leave them in town.

[@Slickheadhunter]

Looks awesome, consider painting a red hourglass on the back like a black widow spider.

[@thingsicameheretodo698]

First class workmanship, brilliant!

[@TheDrumminjay]

This channel should have a million subs, easily! He's creative, entertaining, and very good at crafting quality tools

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mykstreja8648]

I was very pleasantly surprised by what I though would be a boring video. Seeing you build an orb out of a rusty old drum lid was amazing, and then you hand-forged the solid metal legs! The unpainted version was a work of art. It was almost a shame to see you paint it. Thanks for sharing this.

[@tumblinjack]

Had to bring in my wife to see your creation. We were both amazed! Great workmanship and good humor too. All the best to you, Joe

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thanks Joe (and wife) ! :)

[@cspec5729]

At first I wasn't sure if I could be bothered watching til the end. Glad I did, thank you, great display of variety of skills!

[@MonguSu1952]

I love watching something made from nothing. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@clarklindquist8137]

The look with all those spot welds looked cool too

[@MrHowieZ1973]

You are a true Craftsman, Sir. Nice Work .

[@tizianogardenghi8135]

BRAVISSIMOOO!!!!!!! tecnica legata all'arte. Complimenti da un Italiano.

[@pifpaf3329]

So much work to give my wife the chills. Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

:)

[@einarhagby3227]

Amazing problemsolving on the ”ball” part! You’re a straight up genius!

[@wescatifyacard]

You forgot the compound eyes! Splendid video thought, very thoughtfully forged, many different techniques were involved. Such skill!

[@arvinn2580]

Awesome workmanship and ingenuity 👍👍👍. Greetings from Mauritius !

[@montecraig1149]

As with so many of your videos and projects, one thumbs-up is just not enough! Beautiful and inspiring work!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!

[@RomulusDeTroys]

That has to be the most savage spider I have ever seen!

[@zetacon4]

Your spider turned out pretty good. I never would have thought of making a spider from forged metal. Fun project.

[@manazari1]

As I said before, you are not a black smith, you are a great artist that l learn a lot of you. Good luck. 👍🍀

[@NBZW]

The use and knowledge of geometry is exceptional.👍👍👍❤️

[@kevinkult]

Amazing sculpture! Very creative and very creepy.

[@MeleeTiger]

Awesome build aside, even just making the dish for dishing the sheet metal was a cool build in and of itself. Wish I could click the thumbs up more than once when there's more than one reason for liking a video!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@dagoonite]

I swear, since I'm the only one who comments about your top-notch editing, I want to claim that the lighting adjustment shot was for me. XD

[@torbjornahman]

:)

[@jahrulldeniro6580]

You the real Blacksmith bro. ❤❤❤

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Metal work/blacksmithing is in my genes...But,i have to say Torbjorn you have a good eye,some awesome talent and your a pleasure to watch on KZbin...Thanks for sharing your craft...

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Bob

[@brandonwilliams5853]

Huge thumbs up, I'm really impressed at the consistency of your legs. It's hard to do multiple copies and have them look great!

[@heardashot]

Very well thought out & executed. Top marks. Had a grin on my face from start to finish. You also nearly gave me a heart attach at the start btw!!!!..lying in bed, earphones on, half asleep.....and you scream having found the big spider in the woods!!!...I nearly fell out of the bed such was the fright lol.... Wonderful editorial and content. Quite a talent both on front of & behind the camera. Good man. Well done.

[@torbjornahman]

Hahaha... Thanks. We had great fun recording and editing that piece :) Silly but fun...

[@heardashot]

Nothing silly at all about that. In fact that makes it even more appealing and adds a magic to the fun. Continued success and best wishes T..

[@random40s]

Next you need a huge web in a corner for it. That was an awesome project man. Really enjoyed it.

[@jjppres]

i saw your big smile when looking at it. you should be proud. what a great job!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. Yes, it exceeded my expectations...

[@mirokokos3617]

That is just awesome spider!!!! For presentation, decoration or show what you are able to produce by own hand... I could see perfection at many ways by anything what you have made. 👍

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Miro!

[@TheAntonymer]

Damn you! I had to pause on the math page, then google spherical tiling of an icosahedron and learn. A 20 minute video became a 2 hour tour in 3D math. I love you. Now I need to learn a cool craft, create a youtube channel and get famous enough to get an invite to your forge. :D Tack för filmen. Grym spindel!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, tack! Du är välkommen på ett besök oavsett! :) :)

[@gedion4000]

not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome seeing the legs move as the welds cooled down. you dont always get to see the metal moving like that.

[@squatchburger1580]

Your video's are amazing ,I could watch them all day 👍

[@naarbin]

That was a blast. I really loved the way you connected many techniques during this project. Still one of the best smiths there are, TA. Cheers.

[@jimbobtheimpaler8403]

Shined up the start of that sphere almost looked like the spheres in the 70's movie Phantasm!! the ones with the drills and spikes. Excellent build good Sir.

[@reddemon6471]

I am truly at a loss for words on how impressed I am. Just Wow!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@KPutubing]

Howdy from Sacramento! I hope you make a tidy living from your KZbin videos, because you certainly deserve to. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicomedia62]

That spider is scary, next project is a spider web and a black fly caught on it, . Most importantly your craftsmanship is second to none. Great job as usual .

[@alexd6371]

I don't know why this is so satisfying

[@bostedtap8399]

Excellent project, so many techniques, fantastic work. Best regards from the UK.

[@Cremantus]

And always add a pinch of humor to your work. Thumbs up!

[@pjhalchemy]

So much fun in 19 minutes (our time) and years of fun thinking about it and using it. Amazing build and design of a big'O scary spider. Nice one Torbjorn! Thanks for sharing your fun!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks, yes it was fun making it (and editing the video, ha ha)!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Not sure how you imaged this finished when you were designing it but holy hell does it look fantastic.

[@derrick-boi8562]

Bro ur blacksmithing is so satisfying to watcg

[@sahliabdelaziz7226]

Thank you for your time and effort

[@ShapingSilver]

That is a very clever shears holder you made there. Normally they take up too much space. And the wooden sinking stake... wow! Gotta get me a wood lathe. Very nice work!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Oliver!! Yes with a lathe you can make whatever radius you like more or less.

[@MuhammadAbdullah-el5wz]

Wow,best among, best blacksmith!

[@mitchelperkins6723]

Awesome job! Lots of different techniques, and just a cool looking spider .

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@paulfernandez2695]

Absolutely marvelous. You are a Big artist. Congratulations .!!!

[@CarterWHern]

A red hourglass would make it a Black Widow. Beautifully well done.

[@joshdavies9218]

Video quality is excellent nowadays! Love it!

[@hughjanus4371]

Another great video TA, am I the only one who is jealous of your skills, tools and workshops? ;-)

[@MichaelSharpBLACKDRUMMIKE]

What do I love more? Spiders or these cool videos? That is a tough one!!

[@denzub6897]

Смотрел с "открытым ртом"... Результат поразил... Очень красивый паук!!! Не хватает паутины))) спасибо за доставленное удовольствие!!!

[@AndriiA67]

Гм...а блоху подковать он сможет?

[@johnniewalker39]

Brilliant idea with the sphere, Excellent execution, Awesome project !

[@zahiralhajri9290]

[@MrMrWrench]

Beautiful work. I am humbled.

[@gj5250]

You differently have talent my man. Nice

[@murrayanderson9411]

brilliant as usual. I know why you painted it but I liked it unpainted. cheers.

[@mannahfarmandforge5225]

At the end I thought he was gonna show his barn covered with a couple of them. And man was I scared and amazed that you would put so much work into a Halloween decoration. But man dude your the kind of smith I want to be someday.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks!

[@simonepusceddu44]

My god it looks real!! Congratulation amazing work

[@timberdish]

You've outdone yourself this time! Absolutely superb - Easily the quickest 20 minute video I've watched in a long time. Well done Sir! :)

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

Your work is amazing. I love watching you build different things. Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming. 👍👍

[@phill903]

Wow that Spider looks real from a distent, it would scare the hell out of me too if I walked up on it in the woods :-) You are a real metal artist with a great imagination ;-)

[@brainfornothing]

Very good job ! I like your proud smile at the end, Hehehe ! It's a lot of work, but it worth it, also, you just built two tools and got experience that you can use in the future. Thanks for sharing !

[@TheWind213]

What a Gorgeous Spider, I love Spiders and would love to have one like this.

[@phill903]

What a work of art !!!

[@bradleytuckwell4854]

Awesome content love the way you work with the metal you make it look so easy

[@seanbailey6004]

Won’t be able to sleep tonight knowing that spider is out crawling around hehe. Amazing job as always!

[@Abrikosmanden]

Wow, that thing is super creepy :) Even just the legs lying on the anvil gave me chills! Very nice!

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@Cadwaladr]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@tomahoks]

When once there was a spiderweb in our balcony, me and one of our sons threw in a dead bug into web. There was no spider to be seen, but it rushed from the corner faster than Usain Bolt to spit and web the bug! We both went WOW! Great ordeal, and just subbed btw. Hälsningar från Finnland.

[@torbjornahman]

Coool! Thanks

[@AquilaROM]

I was planning on getting a spider tattoo, your work really inspired me!!! Good work as always.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Cool

[@angrydrummergirl2648]

Torbjörn ÅAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHman :3 Beautiful as always. You could have ended it with just making the perfect metal sphere with beautiful math and smithing skills, but the spider himself is just SUPERB. I love the angry little face!! Thank you for another wonderful video, Torbjörn!!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!

[@markwilliams5958]

Beautiful work mate!

[@jojomama4787]

Hoping you and yours had a very happy Halloween!

[@Blueshirt38]

Well made. Very few out there like you, Torbjörn.

[@berriee7848]

The small acting in the begining made my day, your son is so cute

[@trcmustang]

Thanks for the video. Always enjoy watching your talents. What vision you have. Very creative.

[@zacharybyrne9723]

This may be my favorite thing you’ve ever made!

[@torbjornahman]

Cool. Thanks!

[@nachtdiertje1972]

Man, what a cool project and how well done. I love it

[@blackwater4707]

That is a fantastic spider.

[@geoffallert1921]

You're a man of many talents. Loving your videos.

[@pasticceriacordani]

Veramente bello, realizzato in maniera fantastica. Bravissimo..... come sempre.

[@markjordan4571]

Excellent work - really skilled.

[@rampanttricky17]

I think watching you working while using your respirator may have pushed me from not wearing mine today too happily wearing it. I know not the intention of the video but wanted to say thanks!

[@rabbit1069]

Another great piece of work to show your incredible skill set. Superb job as usual.

[@wallesforge3270]

You will never stop surprising me. Stunning work!!!
