What I really liked: In your blacksmithing videos, you often go do some gardening or other household task while a piece of steel is cooling. In this video, you went and did some blacksmithing while you waited for the concrete to harden. Classy move!

[@glenralph5123]

gregiep haha, well said.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks!!

[@tomcarlson3244]

gregiep I really enjoy those little things. I love his flowers

[@Archer-bc6cv]

I love how you include all of the construction sounds in your audio instead of covering them up with music or even just muting them. This gives the videos such a simplistic feel that really helps me relax in today's busy natured society. Whole hearted support from me!😁. PS. Also your accuracy when hammering nails amazes me, I guess that is what being an amazing blacksmith will do.

[@torbjornahman]

He he. Thanks!!

[@spudguy5]

I find all your videos so relaxing. You take everything so calmly and methodically, really enjoy your content!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

That insulation appears to be much nicer to work with than most I have seen here in the United States; perhaps the most common for similar applications here is fiberglass backed with paper - nasty, itchy stuff. Your workshop looks warmer already. I am very glad you are beginning to trust your voice on the videos. Your English is excellent and you have a very nice voice.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you! Yes, it's pretty nice to work with. Much better than fiberglass/glass wool.

[@H3NRYxP]

This is so calming :) love your videos! Greetings from Germany

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@Jut3333]

I like how diverse your channel is getting. Great to see other aspects of your channel. Thanks again.

[@torbjornahman]

Great, thanks!

[@rogerscottcathey]

My basement shop window was situated about the same height as yours. My carpenter bench below. Had I my druthers, I'd like a large window coming right down to just above bench level, maybe 6-7". The light. The transom windows openable. My bench was against a wall, but now believe it should have walking clearance all around it given the space. Nice work.

[@BrianDaleNeeley]

You sir are an all-around renaissance man. The shop is coming along splendidly.

[@georgejohnson1537]

Looks good and warm to me. Thanks for posting................................

[@user-se5lq9fv5h]

Без всяких комплексов досочку на козлы положил , ногой прижал , циркулярочку в руки и вперёд . Молодец . А то столы , тиски , струбцины да ещё двух подсобников . 👍

[@rickgreen9936]

Not only an unbelievably good blacksmith but a pretty good carpenter as well and scribing with an axe too! Anxious to see your new shop in use.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@johndilsaver8409]

Hi Torbjörn. I'm tremendously impressed by this series. Here in the central US I'm about 37 degrees north latitude, you are probably 25 degrees further north. You really know how to make a structure tight. My blacksmith shop is currently uninsulated. Maybe you will inspire me! I'm writing this after you have posted the entire series. I was looking to see what your insulation was, and I see it is rock wool. I will investigate this. Thank you so much for including us and posting this series!

[@torbjornahman]

Great! Thanks! Yes I'm approx on latitude 57, but the climate is still quite mild here due to the gulf steam.

[@OMNIUM-ATAMAN]

I love these videos for one special thing about them is there is no stupid background music its just Torbjörn Åhman and thats it.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@primozjernejcic3899]

Your videos are very relaxing and they help me get through my chemotherapies. Keep up the great work.

[@Cubic5]

I enjoy your videos. As a South African who do not have to use insulation I am fascinated by the process, and the quality of wood you use is unobtainable here.

[@yoyobeerman1289]

Everything you do is so precise. It's very meditative to see you cutting angles and edges and everything just slips together.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@SpencerBelanger207]

Looking great, look forward to part 3

[@mikeboone4425]

As we were watching this I was telling Eva I can't believe he's not going to insulate then you started looking good very clean and proper as it should be , Happy Trails

[@TheDhtkjaba]

Can't wait for part three

[@user-fk8xc8tf5p]

I have got a hous in a town in 100 km near Moskow. There is I doing the same. Every summer. Good job!

[@torbjornahman]

Cool. Thanks

[@construction-productscemen4935]

Great idea.

[@Wedelj]

Why have I never seen/thought about using a hatchet as a giant chisel? Great idea.

[@zimgeo]

Like the hatchet work, good skills.

[@yukiteru9099]

It's feeling very strangely to see you build this all by yourself, but I know this is awesome and I like it, please keep posting.

[@petardragoev7106]

Looks like it's coming along nicely, good job! Can't wait for the next part!

[@thainarv]

Your videos are delightful! Thanks you!

[@shutereye2634]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@clydebalcom8252]

I think it's awesome to have several interests. It makes life less dull.

[@MarcelTeugels]

Getting along nicely. Keep it up!

[@SuperAWaC]

rockwool is a dream compared to the nightmare that is fiberglass

[@MALKooTH]

Couldn't agree more. Even after you have finished the area could remain high in tiny glass particulates. Only problem is the wool is expensive?

[@SuperAWaC]

it's worth the extra cost since it has better r values anyways

[@bradreee7290]

Foam is where it's at. No fiberglass. No particulates of any kind it's a tradesmans dream.

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

I put rockwool in my wall facing the busy highway, and the noise reduction is amazing!

[@stephencresswell4760]

Still my favourite thing on KZbin. Please keep posting. Nice to see the axe getting some use. Watch your legs though! And I'm not sure about hitting the poll of the head with a metal hammer? Naughty. But lovely to see a real handmade tool getting some use. When it's battered and old and you don't want it anymore, you know where I am. 👍

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. Well, actually I hammered on an old factory made axe...so no damage done!

[@stephencresswell4760]

Torbjörn Åhman ah, I thought it looked a bit well worn!

[@Endsender]

I appreciate your axe joinery skill ! And thanks for posting

[@edkovac8978]

Looking good, nice and neat 👍

[@SuperPPMJ]

I think next one should be Forging a Chisel and then Wood shop 3. :D

[@henriquecorrea1562]

and Wood Shop 4 and 5 =P

[@Mark-bm9dx]

I have learned more from your videos, while you don't talk, than from any others online. It's fun how much you can learn from just watching. Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@kamilbubalik1993]

Pure sounds of work - something incredible! Greetings from Poland Mr. Åhman!

[@davidsqcc]

You did a fine job, man. Learning a bit.

[@pjhalchemy]

Two Thumbs! Nice axe work, great progress! Thanks! ~PJ

[@expatconn7242]

Looks great torb

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video, Torbjörn. Not bad the idea, with the ventilation holes and those covered with wire mesh (mosquito net). I find that with the insulation of the walls great, because it does not make it so cold in the room. I look forward to the sequel.

[@karlos1008]

I think it’s funny that in Australia (Queensland) we design sheds to keep the cold INSIDE, not outside ;) great work as always mate. Just an absolute joy to watch

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. He he, same procedure more or less I guess :)

[@DamianoZerneri]

love this serie

[@Barfotadan]

There were so many small (but very valuable) tips to be picked up from watching you work. I hope the shop will be nice and toasty with all the insulation :).

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! I hope so too.

[@volkansezer2132]

Good job!

[@niconog13]

wow incredible work, as always. You make things look so easy! Congratulations for the setup! God bless you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@oneshotme]

Looking good

[@JASON-BEAZLEY]

Love your videos there amazing

[@German-ju4ei]

Congratulations my friend, you are doing a great job and it is going very well. Hug!

[@andyboys5669]

Älskar dina videos, tack för att du tar dig tid att skapa och lägga upp dom.

[@torbjornahman]

Tack!

[@lenblacksmith8559]

It's coming along nicely, love that insulation stuff, never heard of that before.

[@torbjornahman]

It's basically dense rock wool with a thin fiberglass coating on each side.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Ok cool.

[@ronnieahman6958]

Cool!

[@mitchelperkins6723]

Great work TA. I like that you always demonstrate the use of Personal Protection Equipment. Far too many KZbinrs dont use PPE, which sets a bad example to others . Thanks for another great video, Your new woodshop will be really nice, just like your other projects. Well thought out and executed to perfection.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you! I don't know about perfection :)

[@cesargrimm]

Really good video!

[@BrambleHead]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking good. Going to be a warm shop at least, ha.

[@torbjornahman]

I hope so! Thanks

Number ten. Great video

[@shimshoncook8951]

he hammers, he blacksmiths, he woodworks, he gardens, and.... He can use his leg as a lumber hold down!!!! I'm guessing there was some ballet lessons previously in his life!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha... Need to grow a third arm...

[@shimshoncook8951]

I'm surprised you don't just build one......

[@Cremantus]

Very good... works are going on and progress is to be seen. Well done. And... in between some X-mas gnomes born out of the fire... hahaha...

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@newandoldtech5634]

At around 0:30. I use to make a sloped edge to get stuff in and out easier. Maybe start as a kind of platform a bit out on the grass.

[@TheDamageinc81]

Hope you're putting in a dust/wood shaving vacuum system in there. An absolute *must* for an all-around shop experience!

[@torbjornahman]

I probably will! Need to look into that... not sure what size I need.

He he, tack! :)

[@mcgarrittv7619]

For the next time first water and then the cement great video

[@torbjornahman]

Yea, yea... might stick less to the container, but really doesn't matter much mixing this small amount.

[@tropifiori]

The chop saw rotates away from the cut and can shoot the board forward if the fence is off and pull your hand into the blade. A friend of mine lost 2 fingers this way. Better to rip the board by hand if you do not have a table saw. Best regards,Frank

[@torbjornahman]

Really? I try to keep my hands at a good distance to the saw at all times. Ideally both hands on the saw...

[@dakel20]

I hope you sell those christmas gnomes one year.

[@torbjornahman]

I might have a couple... contact me on my web page.

[@killerkane1957]

You added the Gnome to haunt me! I still have nightmares of the platoon of 28 I made last year. Nice work brother! 75% done with 3,000 sq ft ranch visitor center. Come help finish it! You and yours have a spot here anytime! BTW, making several carpenters hammers for Xmas. Make one! Fuller each side draw claws out of one end, fuller nail grove....You will be surprised by balance over store bought hammer. Su Amigo!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, you bet! :) Wow, what kind of ranch needs a visitor center? Or is that another word for guest house? :) I will try a claw hammer some day! Thanks!!

[@killerkane1957]

Torbjörn Åhman we receive visitors from all over the world. The new center has meeting rooms, commercial kitchen, etc. No bedrooms just to entertain guests who come to see cattle. Would you like to reserve it?

[@torbjornahman]

Interesting! Didn't know you owned such and attraction! Sweet

[@Khalagata]

The holes you drilled through the walls, and covered with aluminum screen, puzzle me but I love the rest of it.

[@torbjornahman]

It's for venting the outer wall siding. It was built shut since it wasn't intended to be insulated.

[@Khalagata]

Thanks, now I understand.

[@Yandrax94]

3:38 that ballet move xD

[@torbjornahman]

He he, when you don't have three arms - use a leg :)

[@vitaly2426]

Круто! Молодец мужик!

[@knudsrensen8763]

Nice work. Flot bliver det Thorbjørn.

[@Tailss1]

Good idea with the wire screen, no mice :D

[@torbjornahman]

Exactly.

[@kiesbye]

Klippet tog slut alldeles för fort Tobbe! Men det ser jäkligt bra ut! :D

[@torbjornahman]

Tack!

[@nathanielgardner6379]

I really wish I had a space to do my workshop stuff, the small table in my garage has quickly been outgrown

[@jdiddy182]

Excellent work!! I wish I could help you out!!

[@esnyd]

That was so pleasing to watch. You're doing a very good job building out that space. I assume that's what traditional single bevel hewing axe is for?

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. Might be the case... the axe I use here is a normal symmetrical beveled one.

[@rojeriooliveira9457]

Excelente trabalho. É revestimento acústico? Um Feliz Natal a vc e família

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! Merry Christmas! The insulation acts like a sound barrier for sure. :)

[@Phillibilli]

Wow, haven't seen someone using nails for years!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, good old nails!

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

I liked and subbed it.

[@torbjornahman]

Cool, thanks!

[@rexmcstiller4675]

5:55 I hope the knive is selfmade :D

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, sorry to disappoint you.

[@YuraKvadrat132]

At first I thought it would be some kind of New Year's product).

[@torbjornahman]

What do you mean?

[@YuraKvadrat132]

I was wrapped up with my construction site. I forgot that you are doing a workshop. And because of New Year's music, I thought that it would be a kind of New Year's souvenir.

[@David-fv7zg]

I’m confused by the holes covered with screen tot eh outside? I appreciate the need for the screen because of the holes, but why drill the holes? Ventilation? I would thing this is not necessary, it actually creates an avenue for moisture to enter? Loving this build so far, I was impressed with your hatchet use, especially when you cut the stripping to match the contour of the ceiling. Impressive! Thanks for sharing this, Dave.

[@torbjornahman]

Yes, you need ventilation behind the wall siding and the insulation. Moisture in the siding needs a way to ventilate. That's why I create the gap behind the insulation. Since this was originally build without that in mind I have to provide for air flow somehow. The mesh is to prevent bugs and mice to enter...

[@wyoblacksmithtools3097]

WOW! I am very impressed with your attention to precision, and your scribing in that top piece to your wavy ceiling!!! Studs are 50mm x 100mm? Thanks again! Jerry

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. My new studs are 70x45mm... The old wall has studs about 80x80mm... makes for a good air gap + 45mm insulation.

[@dutchcourage7312]

Tnx for sharing, coming along nicely ... pretty cool hatched use there, guess if it works it works, and may not be so weird for where an axe is as common as where you are. Mostly interested in what the spaced horizontal beams, on the inside of the insulation, are for; or is that just to hold things in place? guess i will find out in part 3 ... ohw, and wanted to also mention that you may also want to consider insulating the door :) (cover with 3mm ply wood to reduce weight and thus stress on hinges, a good use for it afterwards is blackboard paint and some chalk makes for a great surface for plans and list of reminders). Pretty sure that once all insulation is in place, it's already a much more comfortable space to be in.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. The horizontals is for another layer of insulation and for fastening the plywood I plan to screw onto the walls. Good tips for the doors, but I'm replacing them altogether. A bit reluctant about that but there is really no good way of making them good enough.

[@dutchcourage7312]

Another layer? well i guess it's colder up there than here in the Netherlands. Though i do wonder about not having a reflective side on the stuff you put up, so maybe that's on this 2nd layer? ... replacing them? hmm are they broken? i mean it's hard to see the state of them on screen here, so i guess if they are falling apart it's inevitable, but they looked sturdy enough and with more than enough room to put insulation, maybe with say a space blanket on the backside of the 3mm plywood to reflect the heat... then again, don't know which cold they need to hold out. Though do keep in mind you are building a woodworking shop, not a sauna ;) ... Still though, hard for me to judge, so i'll take your word for it :) Maybe do a close up when you get to replacing them to highlight the issue, or do so earlier, maybe people have good ideas to fix it and save you time ... the painting with chalkboard paint might still be an idea for the new doors, i thought about storage, but i personally dislike that on doors, they move (sometimes slam) so stuff tends to fall off ... lastly, tnx for taking some time to respond, it's really appreciated :)

[@torbjornahman]

Yes, I will have 10cm of insulation in total... not much compared to a real house here where you often put in 20-30cm. The doors are not broken, but to make them air proof and seal well to the frame + insulate ... a big job that probably never will get close to 100%. Another thing is I like to add windows to the doors as well.

[@dutchcourage7312]

Woa 20-30cm :o , we go with 7-10cm by the looks of it, with a reflective side though (as far as i can tell) ... ok i see, fair enough, though doing them all over isn't a small project either ;) ... obviously do what you feel works for you. As i find it all interesting to watch and learn from :)

Thanks! Weapons are not my thing but maybe, who knows.

[@Michael-tn8eb]

Hey, regardless if the panels have paper on them the seams should be taped. The rule is simple: inside more dense than outside. As shown you risk having a wet insulation, it's a shack but nonetheless...

[@torbjornahman]

I'm not done yet... There will be another layer plus a vapor barrier.

[@TheVerecundVigneron]

Is your planned vapor barrier to be reflective insulation? Because is not, I highly recommend considering it.

[@torbjornahman]

No, I don't think we use that kind here.

[@TheVerecundVigneron]

Odd. It is available in Hungary where I live. See no reason why it would not be available in Sweden. It is also commonly called "reflective insulation", and comes in different types. But when using the correct type for the application, and properly taped, it can be a vapor barrier. I checked, and it is available in Sweden. One product is called by the trade name PolyNum (TM). But I am sure there are others. Anyway.... I have used it. It really does help keep the IR heat in. I used 25 cm insulation plus reflective and glad I added the reflective. It does help.
