This dark time of the year calls for light! Here I show how I make a more contemporary designed advent candle holder from a block of steel.

Viewers of the Torbjörn, who are you and why are you here? I'm an electrical engineer from Germany just out of uni. I like shop work but never done much except a bit of woodworking every now and then. But seeing a skilled craftsman right in his element is pure joy.

Greetings from Belgium! I am an electrical engineer and computer scientist. But in my free time I love fiddling about with pretty much anything, be it wood or metal. (Although, must admit, metal has my preference.) And I really love the channel for it's content and ideas. (And also secretly like the non shop shots ...)

I'm a retired (cancer) construction worker in California. I enjoy watching his work and when I get a bit of my health back I'm going to give a try at blacksmithing as a hobby. Thunder Bear has a skill level that is worth striving for.

Just completed my first welding certification class and thinking about taking a beginning forging class at my local community college. I very much enjoy watching these videos, very relaxing and the skill is amazing.

Hi, I’ve watched this for maybe a year or so. I think This is a high quality KZfaq channel, good simple video compositions and interesting craftsmanship with skilled craftsman. I like that it’s “unknown” territory of craftsmanship in these days. I’m Mechanical Engineer /Design Engineer from Sweden. I’m glad that I found this on KZfaq, it’s relaxing to watch.

Another Thunder Bear release? A cup of coffee, Christmas music playing in the background and a Torbjorn video. Feeling much better . . .
