Blacksmithing - Forging a drawknife

[@corypride]

thank you for not having annoying, repetitious background music on your videos!

[@leonruvalcaba1549]

Cory Pride hey whats wrong with the cool and fun royalty free tutorial music?

[@TNTTipsandTricks]

Leonardo Ruvalcaba its bullshit to have music in a video like this

[@ogi22]

@@leonruvalcaba1549 Sound of the work is very important too. You can hear many properties of the material you work with. Every service tech with some experience will tell you that. Each machine has it's own specific "music" and if you know it, you can find out a lot of problems before they can become a disaster :) Sound in work is as much important as sight, that's why i also preffer those clips with real sounds of the craft.

[@MrPnew1]

@@ogi22 Very true and thank you for pointing this out :)

[@Nebelrose]

i'm sure leonardo was joking lol

[@DorianBracht]

Very very beautiful drawknife! I am a woodworker myself and I would love to use that tool :) Thanks for your cool videos!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!!

[@maplebones]

I noticed he was using it with the bevel up. I was taught to use mine with the bevel down as I use a chisel.

[@mikehewett9828]

I once made a turkey by tracing my hand. This guy creates works of art. I wish I could get one of those anvils hear in the USA. Keep up the craftsmanship.

[@berriee7848]

HOW DID YOU DO THAT

[@MateWiggy]

That's what you call a quality tool. It will last forever and will produce high quality work every time. It was a pleasure to watch your video Torbjorn.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!

[@secretred6432]

Blacksmiths is such a old but grate skill I am glad for people that keep this going.

[@stillbill3018]

Some of the greatest enjoyment is accomplishing something that is useful and at the same time, artful! Nice work!

[@ianolvera7149]

idk about any one else but i think he sound of traditional metal making/forging so relaxing, and satisfying

[@markwilson3941]

I want to also thank you for letting us see you work and create. Trade craftsmanship always inspires us all. Mark W

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Mark!!

[@Heseblesens]

Black fingers (as in blacksmith ;) and green fingers in one - just awesome! It is a pleasure to watch an artisan work - thank you for sharing!

[@TaTa-wv9kl]

And carpenter, and turner….

[@brucek6563]

I am in awe of your talent!! Demonstrating how well it worked was a plus!! Awesome tool!!!

[@TheLordG0at]

You are a true wizard. It’s a work of art, as usual! I’m making a draw knife right now…… it will be my signature wavy surface uneven bevel paper thin draw knife.

[@FireGiantPlays]

You're my hero. I just about cried when you shaved your arm with it.

[@jimjudge314]

Torbjörn, I've watched a number of your videos and after watching this tool develop over 19 minutes, I am going to be hard pressed to miss another video. I am a woodworker and have been lurking and beginning to develop a desire to work with metal. i could almost feel the balance and sturdiness of knife by the end of that video. Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much Jim! I'm glad you get inspired!

[@mlwoutsidelife2236]

Outstanding 👍🏻 I liked the fact you used the draw knife to shape the handles 😁 cuts evenly and draws smoothly. Quality workmanship 👍🏻

[@tonybletas930]

We must be thankful there are old-world men of the elements still walking the planet such as yourself who take the time to instruct us in The Black Arts of fire and steel. These skills are making somewhat of a renaissance and in no small part to folks as yourself, as limited in numbers as they are. You're an amazing and very talented craftsman and it's an absolute joy watching you create. What Ill never understand is how this gentleman and his considerable skills has attracted over a thousand thumbs down!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you so much Tony!

[@johnd111]

Hej Torbjorn, Your tools are usually so precise, I love how you just used a handy lump of wood when you needed a soft hammer to straighten out the steel - very efficient!

[@СергейЗябликов-я8ж]

Вы мастер с большой Буквы, любуюсь Вышей работой , молодец.Так держать.Всегда с большим удовольствием смотрю Ваши шедевры!!!

[@MrPnew1]

Lovely to watch a true craftsman at work making such beautiful tools.

[@iacovus79]

Absolutely beautiful again. This is a tool I, and any woodworker, would consider one of their most prized. Your work is the best I've come across in quality.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!!

[@Stormbringer1992]

It's always a pleasure watching you work.

[@marbles430]

A real pleasure watch an artisan at work. You produce sublimely beautiful tool that are so much more than just a tool. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much for the kind words!!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Geoff!

[@D-Vinko]

Torbjörn, i LOVE what you do; Little tip; try chalking the wood where an axe handle is gonna rest, or any tight metal on wood part that you don't want slipping. Chalk is extremely grippy, never lost a head or decorative metal part with it. Also try chalking your files too, it works well for clog prevention.

[@mister_olen]

Very useful tip, thanks!

[@foggynight]

You inspire my forgings, you are like a laser beam.

[@larsmark]

You are my favorite blacksmith on youtube. Great skill and lovely videos. Grymt jobbat!

[@torbjornahman]

Tackar!!

[@naesatt]

Agree! 😃

[@johnbriggs7462]

Torbjörn Åhman where do you get your metal from?

[@torbjornahman]

Some from regular steel suppliers, some from the scrap yard. I have got some from local machine shops also.

[@johnbriggs7462]

Torbjörn Åhman cool thanks for the reply and keep up the good work 👍 can you make an anvil forging video

[@Tinker46]

You have the most amazing work shop I have ever seen. Dr D

[@ryanpalmer441]

Once again great work

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Ryan.

[@aasifkhan8667]

Aasif

[@geraldhartman2336]

+Torbjörn, gotta ditto Ryan on that...great job - on the blade as well as the video production. I loved the sped-up bits - you got the point across and with a little humor. Nicely done, sir. 👍🏻

[@Luzt.]

Everybody would like to be an artist in their trade. I'd like to to be an exceptional artisan first and if it happens so, maybe an artist. Great respect for you attitude towards material and tools. You're an exceptional artisan.

[@torbjornahman]

Oh, thank you!!

[@jeffmorris7586]

At the beginning of heat treat, it was really cool to see the temper move through the blade (@ 8:17). Great job!

[@torbjornahman]

Yes it was! Thanks

[@PaytonLockamy]

I love how he actually shows you what its used for at the end. So many people make videos like these and then it just ends, so you're like what the heck is that thing supposed to do. Great vid man.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!!

[@emailaaron86]

how satisfying to build things with the tools you made yourself. very nice!

[@hugoarcada]

Thank you fkr the upload Mr T! Saludos from Argentina, I love your videos.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@rickoshea8138]

Your projects look like they were made in a factory. Very crisp and precise.

[@daki222000]

Awsome tool you made there. must be great to use. thanks for sharing. cheers.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Flip.

[@hanseriksson2261]

I think the tumbs down is people that cannot make this pice of art themselfs. He is an amazing craftsman🙏

[@eskimoassasin6764]

Im starting a forge and just getting into the craft. My first projects are going to be the tools I will use for everything else.

[@torbjornahman]

Cool, that's great!

[@GaryWalker]

Great example of a practical, useful, and beautiful tool. It speaks volumes about how a superbly functional object can also be art. Also, I really like your video style with just the natural sounds of the tools. Great work as always.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Gary!!

[@Kalidos1963]

Beautiful work is seen that you are a man of many professions .

[@davephillips7550]

awesome skills I appreciate a guy who has traditional ideas and crafstmanship. I have restored some of my great grandfather's tools and am building a hand hewn log cabin and forging the hardware and nails to put it together

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! Wow, cool project. Good luck.

[@СеняКораблев]

Руки из нужного места, но не всегда результат для повседневки.. Однозначно - ты Мастер!

[@oneleggyboi]

i aspire to be the craftsman that you are. you've got a great pair of hands that make some very beautiful creations. thank you for your content.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@endressjustavtuberfanapost9836]

I am the only who think that its satisfactory see how the knife cut de wood?

[@SideBurn12]

Eduardo Basile Definetly not. And my second thought was; that would be a nice variation from the axe when making kindling. Especially when you get planks-ends and similar left over from other projects :)

[@Therysin]

Eduardo Basile sooo satisfying. Wish he showed more 😭

Great! Thank you Kjell.

[@pzavada1]

Thank you for sharing your talent. Beautiful work.

[@mcpheonixx]

as always excellent craftsmanship. I love the format you use in your video's, no talking just showing and not a lot of B.S. Love, keep them coming 😁

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!!

[@darkwarlock123]

Nice work! I thought the plant watering interlude was hilarious.

[@bufford14]

Another quality piece of metalwork and woodworking combined. I enjoy watching your videos. Great Job Torbjorn.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@kaance2189]

hardwork pays off

[@asgergrosser9703]

Why would anyone want to dislike this? This is a really nice video, with no music. Keep up the good work Torbjörn!

[@torbjornahman]

Good question... Thanks!

[@jakecalderwood7697]

Beautiful draw knife. -Thanks

[@transylvanianfarmer]

Wow wow! What an amazing craft. I had no idea how involved of a process this is. Sure makes me appreciate small artisans more, and it makes me realize that they deserve the price they’re asking, and probably more

[@Mikhandmaker]

Excellent craftsmanship! Nice channel

Precision tool maker, keep it up.

[@johnniewalker39]

Awesome! Such level of craftsmanship! This is so pleasing to watch, twice or more! Beats a movie at the cinema. Hour well spent! I'll share this with my brother, we both grew up watching dear old grandpa doing this, the old-school way (but not as good as yours). Thank you!

[@torbjornahman]

Oh, thank you so much! That sounds like a good childhood to me.

[@johnniewalker39]

It was. Growing up at our grandparents, until we turned 7 and went to parents. Those first 7 years at the countryside were the basis of our current lives! Btw. I'm from Romania. Eugen is my name. I'm 30 (my brother is 32). I really like you, man! Nice to "meet" you :-)

[@johnniewalker39]

[@torbjornahman]

Cool. Nice to meet you too!

We need this traditional gorging back to America

[@gateway8833]

When I was a Wheelwright I would have appreciated such a fine tool. You Sir are a skilled Blacksmith.

[@torbjornahman]

Great, thank you!!

[@jimhuskins8506]

Gorgeous! I also appreciate the lack of annoying music.

[@badlt.5189]

Another beautiful piece! The best thing about your works of art is that they are tools, or the best thing about your tools are that they are works of art! ;)

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thanks Dennis!

[@konradtomaszewski435]

Great work, Made with heart, not like a Chinnise serial production. Keep cool!!!

Thanks!

[@marciotrompete]

Dear friend, thank you for showing your work. I came up with the idea of making a drawknife for myself, and with your video, I felt encouraged to put my will into practice, even though I did not have all the tools you have, but I'll try anyway. Hugs and thanks for the inspiration.

[@torbjornahman]

Great!! Good luck and thank you!

[@rosstapson]

A steady hand and a sharp eye. I'm starting to suspect that Torbjörn is in fact a Nibelung.

Yep, and here's visual proof, back when he still had long hair. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIOtcqOMn9urgKc

Thank You so much for taking the time to make these videos! I hope to one day be as good as you and to share my knowledge the same way you have! Thanks again from Iron Will Forge!

[@torbjornahman]

That's great to hear! Thank you! Looking forward to that.

[@ahmedsir7969]

I was about to criticize your way of fixing the handles, fixing them without glue or epoxy or sth else, until I saw you testing it; it is too sharp and deals with wood as if it is butter. I really Enjoy watching your videos.

[@738polarbear]

Beautiful workmanship.I like the way you used the knife to make it's own handles.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@zezeandjr4110]

[@oculusangelicus8978]
