FORGING A ROUNDING HAMMER WITH TORBJÖRN ÅHMAN

[@DenseOsmium]

this made my day. seeing the two people who made me get a forge anvil and go to classes learning the craft of blacksmithing, making something together.

Thank you very much!

[@andrewlast1535]

This is cool. Too bad the logistics wouldn’t work to have them do a project with the Black Bear Forge guy? He probably is my number 1 teacher. I love watching all of them. You guys could never make enough cool projects. I would still watch them all.

[@rexmccarley5473]

You know you're moving up in the world when you're forging with ThunderBear!!! Great work.

[@paulstanley31]

I love watching Torbjörn work. He doesn't waste a hammer blow. He certainly is methodical and calm. I wouldn't be surprised if he iron his socks. I have a blade smithing friend, Cam Plunkett at Stout Made, who is the same way. Beautiful work.

[@thevikingoli8847]

You don't know how much respect I have for torbjorn his work, consider it as a privilege to work with him, for the time I don't have the money to sponsor him because of medical issues. But I damn love his work greetings from Belgium I wish I where in your shoes. And as usual very nice work beautiful hamer.

[@HomeDistiller]

I couldn't understand a word, but I can tell you two seem to work together really well!! I was super impressed how quick you had the sledge ready!

Thank you very much!

[@WildHuntKnives]

Awesome video. I love both of your work, so I'm stoked to see you working together

Thank you!

[@rodneylangstroth4577]

I liked the care and attention given to the hole for the handle. Well done

[@danielmoss2089]

I have to tell myself to slow down all the time. Its hard to be that why when your under pressure but you have to tell yourself slow down and do it right first time. Loved watch you work with Torbjorn he's a great guy and epic blacksmith.

Thanks Dan!

[@danielmoss2089]

And you and Torbjorn are always welcome to my forge any time.

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

@@danielmoss2089 now that would be a triple epic video!!!🙏💜🧙‍♂️

[@ShapingSilver]

Excellent video, thank you. He is a very nice and skilled guy that Torbjörn. I wish I'd get an invitation like that. ;-)

[@johnjude2685]

I agree with the sumup as you said, I think Turburrn is the best of all Blacksmiths Thanks both of you for teaching me

[@RayFromTheHayclan]

You are absolutely right about taking your time with forging projects. When I first started blacksmithing I would make lots of mistakes until I started to slow down and work more methodically. Nice hammer.

[@joaquimrodrigues2097]

[@sandysutherland2182]

If you don't mind me saying, that sledge hammer handle is a way to long for that work.

[@Rmillerb1]

loving this guys. Too busy to forge lately but it is satisfying to watch the 2 of you having a good day when so many are trapped at home. Wish i could have been there.

[@user-yh2nb3rl8d]

Greetings from Ukraine, Nils and Torbjörn! Nice video, good job👍

[@danandreinicoara1872]

Surprise two great profesionaly in this job together great armony of Sweden, spirit that-s a golden show respect for your philosophy,all the best for all two.

[@sjtaylor128]

Nice job! I think the striking hammer (sledge hammer) I use Has a 26” handle to give you an idea. The anvil height of a typical hand hammer users anvil along with the added height of a top tool is a little too hiqh for a striker wielding a striking hammer. You probably felt that as you struck and maybe you and Torbjorn discussed it. A typical height for a striking anvil is 24”. Im guessing Torbjorn mostly works alone and doesn’t hand strike many hammers so a striking anvil isn’t a high priority in his shop. My goal as a striker is to be like a power hammer or drop hammer and deliver a vertical blow to the top tool. One thing I do is to keep an eye on the contact surface of the struck end of the top tool to see how vertical my blows are. You get to watch yourself in the video, a great way to check it out. I hadn’t watched any of your videos until I saw Torbjorn’s name mentioned in the title of this video. I’m going to subscribe to see what you’re up to. Thanks for the video.

I agree with you. We were just having fun playing around, i had never striked before so we just briefly tested it out etc. You are very welcome to my channel!

[@tropifiori]

Torbjorn does beautiful work. Nice hammer. Best wishes Frank

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

To me....what an amazing opportunity to learn and Forge with a "ThunderBear" ! Great watch too. Lol i musta backed up n rewatched st least 25 times this bit or that bit. This will remain a favorite video for a long time. Not to discount your work in the least...as i watch everything you do as well Mr Nills and do so enjoy your work. 🙏 Blessed day now and well wishes Sir Crawford out ⚒️🧙‍♂️

Thank you kindly!

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

@ yes sir youve earned it. 👍👍👍

[@ThatOneBlacksmithGuy]

I like the trick in the beginning with the flat railroad track as a brace to draw straight.

[@manazari1]

He is an expert & great metal artist. I envy you that you can see him face to face.

[@iancrump4369]

Great job looks awesome another great video love it keep them coming 😎🔥⚒️👌

[@hannemannironworks1651]

Man that must have been an awesome expirations looks great!

[@erikredbeard87]

Great video, like Nil's Dunder Mifflin shirt😂

[@robowich]

Skönt att se korrekt slagteknik för släggdrängen!!! Ofta ser det farligt ut när de skår diagonalt över kroppen.

[@tomcarlson3244]

Great video. It is great to watch him work, you are right how methodical Torbjorn is. I would love the opportunity to work in person with him.

[@osricsbruk]

A hammer made by Nils and the Thunder Bear. Thor himself would be happy with that hammer!

Lol

[@nicolasantoniol4519]

superbe vidéo of the two excellente blacksmith

Thank you!

[@shawnyfin]

Just a couple dwarves doing their thang.. 🤟

[@JustinTopp]

Awesome seeing you two forge together! Also kinda interesting listening to you both speaking Swedish. I always find it interesting listening to other languages even if I don’t understand them.

Im thinking about adding subs.

[@JustinTopp]

Nils Ögren I don’t mind watching without them personally great work on the hammer! It was cool watching you two work

[@Fabric_unfolded]

My 2 favourite smiths in one shop, collaborating.

[@jaredlariscey713]

Awesome job guys your the best! Thank you!

[@atelier_nilsson]

Nice!

[@weston8478]

Dude this is an awesome collab!

[@foxbatmotorsports]

When punching the hole for the handle why is Torbjörn flipping the billet around after every strike?

[@williamcunha9136]

I’m Jealous, but I am happy for you getting to work with the Thunder Bear.

[@Jimunu]

Så trevligt när youtubare vars språk jag förstår samarbetar.

[@ztheblacksmith]

Is there a reason you don’t use a Brian brazeal style striking anvil? I use mine almost every day and love it!!

[@techronmattic5876]

Very cool, thanks for sharing

[@HeavyForge]

AWESOME!!!🔥⚒💪🏻

[@jaysanders7472]

My friend the bear what do you charge for a 4 lbs rounding hammer

[@OuroborosArmory]

Nice collaboration good to see. Nils is useing safty squints

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Wow that was good, how good to work with Torbjorn I would love to do that, nice hammer too.

[@HoutmeyersP]

Result looks fine. It was the first time i have ever seen a big hammer been used with arms crossed in front of the body. Weird :)

[@roberthenson6153]

Looked very awkward. It actually bothered me to watch him swing it in that fashion.

[@becauseicanchannel3617]

Please go easy on my ignorance but what makes the fullering behind the face give it the “proper shape”? What is the benefit? Thanks!

Good question... i can really only think of two reasons.. first one is the beuty of it. Sencond is to move the face further away from the handle without making it slimmer. Imagine we didnt use the fullers, the face of the hammer would be alot closer to the grip, so the fullers are a way to move the faces of the hammer away from the handle slightly

[@becauseicanchannel3617]

@ Thank you! It does look good for sure. I hadn’t thought of spacing the face further out though. Thanks again.

[@gaylecoombs5510]

Wait you have a south park tattoo, I love it

[@aaronfowler5477]

Love the video. Can I ask what brand and size that small power hammer is in the corner?

Abno

[@aaronfowler5477]

@ thank you.

[@LarryAllanThorne]

Love your collabs. Would like to see you forging an axe together again.

Oh its comming!

[@eastexas9793]

Torbjörn said its drop forged! Haha!

[@rolandjohansson7428]

Är Torbjörn hallänning?

[@picklehanma8029]

Look at you two A couple of besties

[@markgoggin2014]

Wouldn’t all of that have been a lot easier under the big power hammer?

[@thepangolinforge]

can someone please put subtitles on this? i would love to know what Nils and Torbjorn are saying.

Were only talking about pizza, no worries!

[@manishburade1162]

Nice team 👍🇮🇳 💯 work 💪

[@matsbing4105]

Thunder Bear & Island Stick 🙂

[@TheCerberusInferno]

I just suscribed and i'm very happy to see your videos , thanks

Thank you very much!

[@howardklein9834]

The student and the teacher.

[@markgoggin2014]

Also, a shorter handle on the hammer would have made that a lot easier

[@ericcartrette6118]

Torbjorn is an incredibly talented smith. I love his videos. But don't sell your own talents short. You are quite the axe maker. After watching some of your videos, I want to get the proper tooling to try some axes.

Thanks alot!

[@kren1101]

I'd pay to be Torbjorn's striker for a day

[@fern6114]

Two great blacksmiths working Important from older to younger….subtitles in finish or luxemburgish not needed, cheers

[@thomasschafer7268]

Is this the hammer for ragnarök Netflix? Haha

[@notsure7060]

Det at du har Kyle og Eric Cartman på armen er jo bare Uberkung

[@chrisdaigle5410]

You REALLY have to trust a guy swinging a sledge hammer while you're holding the tool.

[@johngregerson5984]

Safety glasses, man lol. Forge scale is no bueno in the eye

[@sinebir5915]

Like to Torbjörn.

[@rondavis191]

I guess TA had enough crawdads. lol

[@heathworsley8347]

"Drop forged" absolutely classic!

[@juhalindstrom1414]

jag fick lära på 70 talet av en gammal smed ,,,,att om man inte håller längst bak i hammarskaften så mister man en massa kraft,,,

Det finns olika vikter på hammare av en anledning. Använder du en "lätt" hammare(runt 1kg) och behöver flytta mycket material kan du hålla längst bak för att få maximal energi. Föredrar du däremot att använda en tung hammare(2kg+) kan det bli för jobbigt att hålla längst bak hela tiden. Men tanken är precis som med tunga yxor att istället för att du svingar som en dåre låter du fallvikten på hammaren göra jobbet och du siktar mest. Smaken är som baken.

[@bulldogg4]

someone please get this striker some eye protection.

Totally agree

[@Onionbaron]

Dropforged...

Det är inte ofta man hör Torbjörn Åhman tala svenska
