Blacksmithing - Making a hasp latch

[@TaTa-wv9kl]

That’s the most beautiful door latch I have ever seen. Beautiful design, beautifully done.

[@Coleton.B.]

Torbjörn, I work at an axe/knife throwing range in Canada and we love your videos! I play your videos on the TV in the range and always see people, customers, members, employees getting sucked into watching you create these legendary projects. Thank you so much, I'll keep showing as many of your videos as possible and spreading the word!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, very cool. Thanks man!

[@wmillios]

@Lowtryx - Are you at Maniax in Montreal? I was there last week.

I loved your video. No electro-music, no narration dribble, just a man who knows how to forge. Very refreshing.

[@dwightcimino1040]

I cannot say I enjoy all KZbin productions that I watch . . . but I seriously did this one. . . thanks for the video . . .

[@theronhoward5413]

I have watched this video many times every time I watch it I picked up some thing else that I missed before you were an absolute artist I’ve told you that several times I enjoy your work. Please keep the videos coming Wish you and your family the best in these crazy times And may God bless you and yours Theron

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, thank you!

[@ottorinopugliese7697]

Nel 1981 mi sarebbe piaciuto andare all'ottima scuola dei mestieri che c'era nel mio paese, qui in Calabria. Invece, ho proseguito con gli studi classici, la laure in giurisprudenza e, adesso, sono un modesto avvocato che tra una norma e un articolo di legge, si ricarica guardando video sull'artigianato. Però, solo i migliori come questo. Bravo ancora una volta Torbjörn Åhman!

[@mrmyorky5634]

A beautiful looking latch. Thank you for demonstrating your skills, and also for your ability to encourage others to have a go at forge work.

[@84com83]

Oj så många gånger jag tittat på denna video! Här finns så mycket information och väl utförd presentation, tack!

[@torbjornahman]

Kul, tack!

[@attackhelicopter2473]

Straight forward. Honest. Work. It's why I keep coming back. Thank You for sharing your craft with us.

[@tropifiori]

So I was in the forge reproducing the project and my daughter came in. She started to help me. We stopped and just made a simple hook. We had big fun. She has had many problems over the years, but it all melted away and we made this little hook she was do proud of. Smiting is a wonderful thing, Thanks for supporting this craft Frank

[@torbjornahman]

That's great! Thanks

[@Ofageover50]

I enjoy your videos, there is something cathartic about watching you work and how there is such a rhythm to how you take raw materials and turn them into something amazing and functional. Your level of expertise is over the top.

[@mightguy3729]

Mr. Åhman you're brilliant. I'm addicted to your videos. Never stop posting...love from India.❤️

[@nicktecky55]

Our snowdrops are nearly finished already. :-( Worth a SUB. No brainless music, and no tiresome introduction telling us what we are about to see. An easy 10 minute watch... 20 minutes? Another good sign, well done, keep it up. Perfect YT stuff.

[@blessed1sj]

Exactly

[@akram1739]

Your work is worthy of praise. I like people like you. The work should be done from the heart. Thank You Sir

[@telescopereplicator]

Another great video, where a hammer, an anvil and a hot oven are making the music. And as usual, Torbjörn is a great conductor !! Symphony in Ferro.

[@johnlcallaway]

I really like how all of the components of this were forged, including the staples. I'm in the process of opening a shop in Tennessee in the next year that provides custom carpentry, blacksmithing, and other custom products. Everyone makes knives and I've never had an interest in that path in blacksmithing. I prefer more useful products. I really like the large variety of items you make that are useful and can be used as a starting point for offerings. It's also refreshing to watch a smith instead of listening. Your hammer work says volumes more than a running commentary ever could.

[@torbjornahman]

Cool! Thank you so much!

[@davewalton2358]

Your videos (and workmanship) are fantastic! I could sit for hours watching you work and produce these works of art (and I am...). It's so satisfying to watch a true craftsman at work. Great stuff, keep them coming!!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!!

[@dixonqwerty]

Som vanligt den högsta möjliga kvaliteten på både hantverket och videoproduktionen. KZbins bästa smed!!

[@torbjornahman]

Tack!

[@karlos1008]

With the time delay between Sweden and Australia I’m usually able to enjoy my morning coffee with your new uploads. Always a great start to the day :)

[@torbjornahman]

Great!!

[@CsKR]

Yeah, after this one, it is obvious that you provide the most valuable videos in this topic on YT.

[@GordonjSmith1]

To go from 'concept' to 'execution' takes care and planning. You videos are rather 'deceitful' in that the 'idea' is rather clear, but your skill in production is sometimes 'hidden' from the viewer. This is rather wonderful skill and craftsmanship on demonstration here, and I love every minute of it. Wonderful you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@cabbldr]

The thoroughness at the end, painting the door around the new latch, is what separates people who are merely good at something and a true craftsman

[@frisbeephil]

100% quality as usual. The Pine Tar looks nice. When I saw the paintbrush touching up where the old latch had been I thought to myself...Then I spit tea all over myself when you had painted the whole door. If you're going to do something, do it right. You do this well.

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thanks!!

[@danielcoelho5318]

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm starting my workshop. Your job is incredible and I learn a lot from you. Thank you!

I'm so impressed by your craftman ship. Well done Torbjörn.

[@johnk2743]

Somehow your video's are so tranquil. Whenever my mind is racing I look at one of your video's and come back to earth and relax. It is so nice to see the whole process, from idea to completion. I could watch for hours and enjoy every bit of it!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you John!

Hi Torbjorn, I am a woodworker and at times try to get creative with my projects. I really enjoy your creativity with metal.

Whoever would have thought that so much banging of metal could be so relaxing. Amazing work again Torbjörn

Omg,this is way better than buying the same kind of locking mechanism at the store!this has style to it!!!

[@andreytumnikov9967]

Hello, Thank You very much for Your work, every video is fascinating, it is impossible to break away. I am a car mechanic (coachman), and the forge attracts - as art. It's incredible how a masterpiece appears from a piece of metal. Subscribed to Your channel. All blessings. Hello from Ukraine.

[@maximusgriffiths4507]

Beautiful. I love the freedom your skill gives you. "I need a latch. Let's make a latch."

I served my apprenticeship as a blacksmith ,long since retired ,only simple when you know what your doing.👍totally enjoyed it. first thing you do in make all your own tools.

that is just brilliant from concept to execution, nicely done! This its a lost art we ought to get more people reacquainted with, in this KZbin and people like you sharing your craft with the world truly serve a greater purpose. Thank you!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@samuelecetoloni9083]

wonderful twenty minutes of pure art, thank you

[@_motho_]

The thing that always most impresses me about good blacksmiths is they always make their own tools. Whether is a jig or something permanent, it’s always satisfying see you tackle a problem using your own tools.

[@torbjornahman]

That's the essence of blacksmithing. Making tools and solving problems.

[@12gageshot]

That is awesome. Beats any old hasp from a hardware store.

[@bluemtnsman]

I have been following you now for quite a while. Impressive projects are the norm. Watching the genius flow from your mind into your work is always a treat. Excellent bit of crafting sir.

[@torbjornahman]

[@safelinefleet6633]

If there be a Picasso or Rembrandt of forging metals, it must be you. You take ordinary metal and convert them into works of art. Moreover, the very process of watching you work on the metals is an experience in itself. Greetings from India!

[@pielord33321]

Minor safety note to all you watching - be careful hitting the face of a ball peen hammer (or any hammer, for that matter). Use a softer hammer to hit it if you can, something like a brass mallet. Hitting hardened steel with hardened steel can send shards flying with great speed and seriously injure you. Great video as always, your work is gorgeous and I hope to one day forge such beautiful pieces.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. Yes, that is right, I use a mild steel hammer to hit with! I should have added a note onscreen...
