woodworking, woodturning, cooking, gardening, blacksmithing.. Am I missing something? cheesus! dude you are amazing! Awesome work, as always! :D

One of my favorite food and gardening channels. As a nice side effect, you also learn a lot about blacksmithing and woodworking :D Keep going!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks 👍

If, spending time online, spending time watching your work is, by far, the best use of casual down time I've found. It justifies having a good internet connection

Hurrah! Thank God, literally, for wood. And metals, And stone. And guidance.

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

No no, I have watched your black smiths work videos and you turned out to be a carpenter also like me. I am 74, and love wood work and I'm making a band saw for my self. I am not good in the media work or I would have sent you pictures. Keep up your quality work. Regards and best wishes.

[@dixievixen3631]

I watched my father woodwork in his shop ☺ as a little girl and found your video most comforting.. Your wonderful work shop and quiet and mischievous entertaining way made me happy with joy..you remind me of my dad who is very missed since his passing. You are very talented and well skilled..it was a joy watching your video! Subscribed

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@lucyb15]

I decided to try loosening the core from the fiber with my hands alone because I wanted to preserve the warm beige color of the fiber. It works! For someone who enjoys fiddly peeling tasks, it's kind of fun. I've processed two large hanks of unretted flax with my fingernails and have a fluffy supply of flaxen fiber to spin now. i did enjoy seeing your awesome skills in this video and the flax break is gorgeous!

[@cocakoolaid2283]

What incredible work! I hope to one day be as skilled in as many crafts as this man! Gardening, woodworking, black smithing, incredible!

[@nathans1978]

Beautiful work once again. I teach 2nd graders in art each year about the wonders of flax...linen, linseed oil, linoleum...its really a miracle plant. The kids each paint a flax flower on linen using pigmented linseed oil that we press ourselves from seeds. This year i will show them your work❤

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, that sounds great!!

[@kittykatfisher8397]

I too have built my own flax break for harvests! So lovely to see you and your videos as always. Tussen takk

Wonderful! Thanks

[@torbjornahman]

So nice of you, thanks!

[@BruceBoschek]

That is not only very interesting because we learn about how flax is processed, but the legacy woodworking techniques and blacksmithing are no less instructive! This project is amazing. Thanks so much for all the effort you go to to share your expertise and experience with us!

[@GeneSimonalle]

Woo hoo! More flax please. 🤠⚒❤🔥

[@torbjornahman]

I'll try! :)

[@bobvines00]

@@torbjornahman Does someone in your family spin, weave, & sew with your flax? I was able to visit a "living museum" of Spanish life in the ~1540s (to maybe 1670s?) in Florida and they had grown flax and demonstrated the entire process from breaking the flax and carding it through to spinning and sewing with it. As a kid I was fascinated at what they demonstrated and still am ~50-years later! What you are sharing with us has my complete attention and admiration of your multiple skills. :)

[@torbjornahman]

@Bob Vines Thanks! No, this is all an experiment to learn and hopefully get to something usable in the end.

Hello, the "chaff"(?) that falls on the ground is great for the garden. You can seed carrots and put this over the soil, they will grow through it, it stops weeds and retains a lot of moisture so need to water so often.

We have something in common, making and building many parts and contraptions to try one small project. I bought a scythe at an antique shop. Now I’m halfway through making a treadle powered 150lb grinding wheel to use to restore the scythe. Which is fine, the curved handle I’m making for the scythe is still curing.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very amazingly done. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.

Dear Torbjörn, good day, revive old traditions, even with your blacksmithing you are something special, and now the flax breaking, just great! Tell me, is it possible that you are a perfectionist? Everything is so finely worked out, you can see it, it also gives you a lot of pleasure in your work. Thank you for making my day sweeter again, I am so grateful to you for the effort you put into being able to share in your life and work. At the end of the month I'm in an epilepsy clinic, I've had two severe seizures again and have to be stopped with medication again. That means staying awake again for 2 nights and days, flashing lights, loud music, etc. to provoke an attack. Well, I'll shorten the time by watching all your videos again. Thank you for being there, your family is lucky to have such a good father and husband. Please stay healthy and warm regards, also to your children, wife and cat, from Thuringia, Thomas

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Thomas! I hope you get that sorted as smoothly as possible.

[@keithgloyns9814]

you have a lot of woodworking tools for a blacksmith, i watch a lot of woodworking videos and you are almost the only person to place your plane the correct way on the bench when not in use blade to the side, interesting video thank you

[@tokus64]

My grandma always put the topgreens from the fennick and boiled them together with the fennick. Pure for the taste.

Always loved the sound of the plane going across the wood.

Love the way you busted out the trig for a wedge, Torbjorn!! 😂 Such precision, details and Pro multiple skills of a beautiful build and looks to work a treat. The best thing about this one is the story and cinematography...Eye Candy for the soul and fennel for the buds and olfactory. Bet the house smell good! Thanks So much for another treat!! Can't wait for the next escapade! ~¿@

[@torbjornahman]

As always PJ, thanks for your kind words. Fennel cooked like this is a real treat.

[@howler6490]

The thing about the use of wedges is it allows for variations...precision is not an essential...the wedge itself makes allowances...good laugh though. The elegance and simplicity of your products is always heartwarming... Seriously calming affect is a bye-product...WELL DONE.

Watching you put that project together reminded me of my late father. He was an “old school “ carpenter and used chisels and planes just as you are doing.

[@esalehtismaki]

A little woodworking tip: When you chisel out the first side of finger joint, if instead of chipping away the whole length you make a half-V shaped groove, then the ends are still level with the surface and act as support when doing the other side. Makes it a bit easier. I have thought that it would be cool to make a shirt or something starting with flax seeds. You would certainly see clothes in a different light.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks for the tip! I kind of realized that myself half through the process :) Yes indeed a very different perspective.

Great woodworking skills. The wood appeared to be a coniferous variety, it's more difficult to attain those crisp lines. The satisfaction of watching all parts being crafted rather than simply machined was fun.
