Making a discus!

I decided to make a custom discus for my son, who is competing in track and field, where discus throwing is one event. A fun project but a bit more work than I first anticipated as you have to meet some specific parameters, like size and weight. I'm very happy with the result and it feels great to throw!

You truly are an extremely cool human being.

[@plainnpretty]

I agree

[@MikaelKjell]

The coolest person and the coolest dad😀👌👌👌

[@ironhammer3734]

You can't say it any better than that... I have nothing to add.

[@CaptainTwitchy]

Have you seen his figure skating, yet?!

[@digitaIgorilla]

Very different from the usual builds on KZbin! I think it's the first time I have ever considered how a discus is constructed. Thanks 🤓

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@Ede74]

Kids are getting big, enjoy your time with them :)

[@sighheinrich]

Yeah the boy is really growing tall :)

[@torbjornahman]

I know, it's crazy!

[@Daniel_cheems]

A proud man and a proud father! They grow up so fast!

[@Katzztar]

You are an awesome dad! There are great dads that support their child in track and field, but not many of them can say they can build equipment for their kids to use!

[@petercowell2051]

That is really neat. Looking at your children made me realize how long I had been watching your videos.

[@brookechang4942]

This is such a cool build! I also love that you take the time to show each sticker as you put them up. You should do a javelin next! 😂

[@PANNARALEJ]

It is so hypnotic watching a master craftsman like yourself create something so elegantly simple. True artistry, displayed in full.

[@danandreinicoara1872]

A really present for your golden team!!🎉

[@ericcartrette6118]

Watching your work is mesmerizing. This was a great project that your son will cherish.

[@jamesa7506]

Fantastic my friend!! Your kids have already won the gold medal 🏅

[@lawrence500]

No kidding: Just one hour before I had to check if I didnt miss any of your videos. Good to see you're still with us! Your videos are always a wholesome experience 👌😎

[@thisworldaccordingtome9495]

I never thought I'd sit here and watch a how to make a discus video.

[@Mujaki]

Starting with an enormous ring, part of me thought to myself, "Ooooh, just imagine some chainmail at that size!" Far more trouble than it's worth, but an amusing dream to think of it stretched across or between some buildings.

[@torbjornahman]

You just need to see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnuzdZprfshrhpY

[@bansai-tech3194]

Hello my friend, I am one of your followers from Algeria, and I have watched almost all of your videos, and allow me to express my admiration and appreciation for you and your beautiful and respected family, and my fascination with everything you do and make, especially what is related to iron and fire ... I wish you and your family a beautiful and happy holiday, and I ask God Almighty to bless you all... Thanks.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@adelheidsnel5171]

Every skill combined, hats off to you Sir, you're a true Meastro!

[@user-hn9fr7mn3x]

1:02 can we all just take a minute to appreciate Torbjorns cows. His kid is very lucky to inherit those genetics.

[@torbjornahman]

Bwahahah....

[@GongFuWarrior]

So cool, love the project. Now, when I think about it - there's plenty of hammer forging videos, but no videos of forging trowing hammer. Either olimpic style or classic highland games style would be awesome.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!! :) Not sure they can be forged from solid stock? Or maybe they are....7.26kg is less than a dm3 of steel...hmmm

[@williamcunha9136]

Thank You Mr. T for place my Sticker on you Cabinet!

[@torbjornahman]

Any time!

[@txupetin2]

Un gran trabajo como siempre, tus hijos no lo olvidarán, seguro.

[@Big_Un]

TIL - I had no idea how a discus was made. - Didn't know that I needed to to know this. - Watched the entire video to the very end, and was thoroughly fascinated. - Loved the fact that we got to see everyone throw it. Completely satisfying! Thank you for posting this!

[@torbjornahman]

So nice of you, thanks!!

[@Manar_sky]

Really are the best man to make discus at home congratulation to you and show us how to make javelin if it is possible good Luck my friend

[@DHJEONG111]

Proud Dad, I'm happy to see you. Thank you.

[@mikeremski2102]

Son is saying "why didn't you carve one out of wood?" Very cool

[@TheVersatileMindMedia]

Awesome project, I really liked how this was made, too cool! Wax on, wax off!

[@MJTeh1]

Love watching your craftsmanship!

[@nathans1978]

I keep snapping my fingers but no fire. What's the secret? Great video as always. Perfection mixed with modesty. You're a great role model

[@davidjuarez5263]

I threw in H.S. and college.. it's all in the hips baby!! Get a good twist in the waist and sling that thing at a good angle.. Speed is your friend more than power is. Best of luck! Wonderful video Torbjörn.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!! I know... not sure how much more the body can take, ha ha... Glad it came out in the right direction!

[@keepgoing34]

Your videos have kept ne going since my partner left me, i appreciate it thank you

My grandpa was skilled wood carpentor now I'm metal. Different creatives and approaches are in my DNA . Everytime I doing shortcuts for long time required work or small technical work in my work room. Great work 👍👍👍 your

This is my 3 favorite things all in one! Discus, machining, and great KZbin videos. I'm very happy right now

[@torbjornahman]

Great to hear! Thanks

[@Medizos]

Your son has a very good throw! :)

[@andreacrashe9894]

*WOW that is so AWESOME. Your son throws really well... I guess in a few years time we will be seeing him in a future Olympics. He will remember this moment forever, that his dad made him a discus just for him. So what sport is your daughter interested in.... something you could make for her... oh I know.... hammer throwing.*

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you! We will see, she is also into track and field, and football.... She likes the javelin 😳😳

[@andreacrashe9894]

@@torbjornahman *Goodness you and your wife are producing some future sportspeople... Well making a Javelin, might test you, due to it's length.... but I would love to see you try to make one. But one that she would know was hers & it would stand out from all the others. But maybe also make her a hollow football (to keep it light) on a wooden stand to be put up on her shelf in her bedroom too. These are the things that the kids will remember that their dad made for them... to be passed on down to the future generations... as they will stand the test of time forever.*

[@DavidLindes]

@@torbjornahman Wow, so that comment elsewhere about you making a javelin next... maybe you will! Do they know how cool their dad is?? :D (Or rather, do they see you as being even half as cool as all of us do?) Because... wow.

[@torbjornahman]

A javelin is tricky I think, since they need to be hollow, more or less full length....

[@DavidLindes]

@@torbjornahman “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. :) … and you continually seem to find solutions to things, so I’m sure you’ll figure something out. :)

[@mgpunya1]

Make you wanna appreciate discus now - not just a sport but you made them into an art.....

[@andersjjensen]

Pretty damn respectable throw for a young man of his size. Nice discus too.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@HMS1Blake]

A beautiful thing. Bravo!

[@bobross5580]

I think that you are masterful craftsman, amazing.

When knowledge, desire and skill are combined, the result is magnificent! This man does everything perfectly! And watering the flowers and making a souvenir! Bravo!,👏👏👏

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Beautiful work. I haven't held a discus since school and have only seen them on the Olympic games, when I used to watch.

[@jjbode1]

Too cool! Who wouldn't love that athlete?

[@davidhouser586]

You have mastered your trade but the kids outdone you in the throwing. 😆👏

[@kz6fittycent]

So cool!! Your son has a great father!

[@TexDrinkwater]

Forging, welding, machining, woodworking, gardening, and family time with the kids. Oh, and glass repair.🤣

[@paulrapp613]

Most excellent! Keep the aspidistra flying!

[@powellmrp6335]

As a woodturner, I smiled when you chucked up your Sorby gouge. Good show!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, a bit off the books... but that plywood really needed a clean cut. Scraping with anything would generate a mess.

I love your cool videos and you are a wonderful dad to the kids.

I’m sure they will proud to use it!! Awesome. Love your videos.

As always nice job. The ability to make the outside ring is great as cutting that out of the Sold would be a huge job. The finished item looks great

[@crystalsoulslayer]

A great pleasure, as always! I think this is the first time I have ever seen someone resaw plywood. Very nice result, and fun to watch the testing. Discus throwing looks even harder when you see it close-up.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you! Cheers!

Exceptional, Torbjorn, exceptional. Such an amazing dad you are. Could have just bought them but you, in your typical fashion, made them. Something to be cherished for life. 🥰

This is my first ever KZbin comment. Ever. Torbjörn, you are a craftsman of enviable skill. It has been a pleasure to live vicariously through your videos. Your farm, your greenhouse, your family, and especially your blacksmithing is a pleasure to watch. Truly, I hope to meet you some day and shake your calloused hand, sir.

I have never seen a discus. To actually not only see one but, watch how one is made was rather fulfilling I knew you were going to demonstrate it being used. I figured some big, burly discus thrower. To see you and your kids instead....heartwarming! I always chuckle when observing your magic! Overall another great video!
