In this video I forge a traditional hasp latch using only hand tools. A quite simple project but it still involves a lot of steps and techniques.

What really sets you apart from similar channels is that you showcase the sort of day-to-day projects that take up most of a blacksmith's time. It's really interesting stuff. Like forging a counter sink. That was just cool, and looked easier than using a drill bit (if less precise).

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
