You are such a true craftsman and an inspiration. Whether it was digging out for your triphammer foundation or building your greenhouse and finishing your new workshop, you always have outstanding content to go along with your forging magic. Truly someone I would like to share time and ideas with. Thank you.

The solution with the saw blade is just BRILLIANT! )

when the saw blade came out I got a little nervous. But what a ingenious solution for that operation. Beautiful job!

Very impressive my friend all the tooling and different ways to accomplish hurdles. The saw blade spacer was absolutely brilliant well done! 👊🏻👏🔥⚒🔥⚒👍🏻

When the counting plate for the "Spindexer" was being fitted I was shouting, "No, Thunder Bear, no! It's too dangerous. We'll buy you a table saw!" Sheer genius, my friend.

I was having a tough time figuring out how you'd get the leather stamped. Very creative and nice work as always. Congratulations on 500K subscribers, that is a significant milestone.

Your parents and teachers are all very proud of you. I'm proud and I don't even know you but marvel at your creativity and artistry. You are an inspiration to everyone.

Using a circular saw blade for an indexing device is brilliant.

Man, when you take this sawblade and mounted it to the lathe. Never frighten the community and me like that again! Lovely tools as always. And all the best for the next 500 000.

Truly a Rennaisance man, accomplished in multiple arts, including being a caring father and all around decent guy. Your popularity is well-deserved, but don’t let it go to your head!

I can't believe you don't have billions of viewers. It's nice working for a shop foreman that is willing to help you with the garden. 🥰

Can only dream to have such a lot of materials and being able to use that too. Always great to see you working

First, i was "Wait, that's not were you put tools" and after "That's divider is cheap as hell and it work so well......GENIUS!" and change of topic, i love your Ankarsrum wood stove it look so cool!

Wow!! A lot of intricate work went in to making those patches! Using the saw blade as a gauge was genius!! You are an artist!! BTW, congrats on achieving 500k subscribers!! I really enjoy your videos!!!

I watched the video specifically to see how you would punch the holes for the patch in such a perfect circle. I was not disappointed.

That’s freakin awesome, and glad you garden as well! My grandparents always kept a garden, taught us, and canning too. Love your work, always unique!

The legendary Thunder Bear strikes again! Congratz and thank you for sharing your talents.

ich bin 50 Jahre und gelernter Maschinenbaumeister - aber eine solche Fräskonstruktion habe ich auch noch nicht gesehen 👍😂👌 absolut Top

Love the ingenuity you use in your projects. Old (and new!!!) skills like these are difficult to come by and more so the attention to detail you show in your work. You are a true artisan of your craft

I tried to watch this video last night, but fell asleep. I'm not sure what it is but the power hammer puts me out every time. Your videos are so relaxing. I love them all!!

Nice to see someone putting this much effort in to showing support for their fans. Fantastic work sir , it's a pleasure to watch your work and see the beautiful end result. Love from Canukastan.....

You can’t get any better than this. Hand made leather patches made before our eyes by a craftsman who enjoys his hobbie. Great work and beautiful patch.

I watch a lot of channels that work with wood, metal, leather, and things like that, and for the first time I went "WOW" out loud. The amount of effort and patience you put into your projects is absolutely unrivaled.

Congrats, Thunder Bear! Life has been nuts for 6 months and I’m just now getting to watch what I’ve missed.

Fantastic job, as always! You'll probably get tired of making leather patches, as everyone will want one, I believe! Cheers!

That rusty saw blade divider is one of the most genial contraptions I ever laid my eyes on. And as always: splendid work, Sir!

Certainly these molds were one of his best elaborated works. Congratulations.

Totally awesome! From the forge, into the lathe..love it! Your videos make my day, every time. 500k... well deserved. Congratulations.

..it may be time to make some more of those dies and get an arbor press for multiples.. Ya might have to incorporate the kiddos into this venture...

Congratulations on a half million subscribers!! ⚒️

seeing how you have not only a forge, but also a garden and greenhouse makes me think you and your family are well prepared for the craziness that's happening now. hope you and your family are safe in this trying time.

That’s a very clever way of using the saw blade as a divider.

You sir it's a master in your craft and also to others about how to manage life, I salute you with regards to your family and thanking for all your professional works and care for details...there's no explanation needed and always the best quality. ..keep up the good work you Viking !!!

i was asking myself where it will lead with the scary saw blade mounting, eh, that's a brilliant trick :) congrats for the 500 k, now we just need to awaiting the first million :)

Congratulations on your first half a million subscribers. The unique form of therapy your channel provides will no doubt guarantee many more!

Love how everything is handcrafted

I am glad that I laid a brick, supporting your interesting channel. I am glad the KZfaq community appreciates your hard work. Greetings from Poland to all blacksmith crafts lovers.

You always take it to the next level, make the punch to cut the leather, it was like watching a watchmaker when you used the saw blade. It's always fantastic watching you work and build things from scratch. Stay well, and thanks!

Your patience and attention to detail is unparalleled, keep upmyhe excellent work! 👍

I love your videos. Your craftsmanship is impressive, to say the least. Moreover, your videos' no commentary and peaceful quietness intertwined with brief yet comforting scenes of everyday life give them an ethereal, even Asgardian quality.

Being a maker, this is nice that you use many different techniques to build the mold and the patches. And good luck building the many many patches for the future!

Fantastic I’m gonna head over there right now.

As someone who works in a business making professional leather and metal stamps out of steel and brass, it's nice to see someone devoting the time to making their own from scratch. Nice work!

who needs a "giveaway", sharing your knowledge is more then enough :)

I like how you know when to calculate a precise measurement and when to just “eyeball” it lol

You sir, are a genius. This opened my mind to a whole new world.

When I saw the young person helping you plant, I smiled. And then I kind of got choked up. I remembered my own father letting me help him plant. And I remembered setting my son to work helping me. He is a grown man now and he has a serious girlfriend I am starting to think I might be calling daughter-in-law soon. Maybe a few more years there will be another little one carting plants, helping and learning how the world really works. That's good stuff, my friend.

Looks like there isn't anything you can't do. Great garden too by the way. Your helper looks to be an expert.

Absolutely brilliant! All of it! The Idea, the making process and of course the filming and editing - true artist and craftsman! Wish you 1mil subs soon! :)

In 1 Word: Perfekt!!

Brilliant Sir. RESPECT. This man just deserves a million subscribers.

This guy gets it. Makes tooks, Make kids, grows food. This is what our children should be looking up to. Good job Man and keep crushing!!!!

I had no idea a 3d printed die would be strong enough! Looks great

Wow, there are some real clever people in this world. I'm really happy for you to have reached the amount of subscribers you have (you now have another one), a talent like yours should be shared. Well done 👍

You're a man after my own heart. I really enjoy all the things you make!!👍🏼👍🏼

It makes me happy to see that one of the oldest professions - the smith with its forge - is still existent. For me a smith needs on one side the muscle power and technical knowledge how to forge the metal - which ever that may be. On the other side a smith also needs an eye for art and beauty as well as forging every day materials for buildings, doors, windows etc. So congrats to 500k. And that leather stamping is nice. Just found you and subscribed and liked. Keep on going. Your skill is awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill here. Please stay healthy and safe.

Very nice, this is a pretty Well thought giveaway. Your Projects are always so good done craftsmanship. 👍💪

Congratulations on the milestone. Always find great peace and enjoyment in watching you work and create your fantastic projects. The stamp and patches look fantastic. There will be 10 very lucky people receiving those. Thanks for the opportunity and all the best.

Blacksmith, wood work, leather work, toolmaker, CAD technician, gardener and dad! Did I miss anything?😆 congratulations on hitting 500k subscribers. Great videos from a great tradesman. Keep up the good work 👍🤘

Dude i am floored. You have the tools and skills for machining, wood working, leather working and metallurgy. This kind of shop is what i strive to one day build.

Ah, so this is how Iron Man made his suit. Really. Thanks for the vid. I know knothing about metal works but after watching this, I'm gonna start learning. It looks like hard work but the end product is worth it.

The way you indexed your lathe was so ingenious, I was so confused as to why you were attaching a sawblade on the other side until I realized. Incredible lol from me.

Amazing. I never would have thought to use a saw blade as a dividing head. Also, those patches are lovely.

You never fail to amaze me, l am a tool and loved seeing how you made your indexing head. As usual you have the family in,which gives it a nice touch . On another note is there any you can't make or do. I am not very tec savvy and don't do Instagram. Keep up the great work.

That is really cool! Congratulations of half a million. That's a decently sized city. Leather is such a nice material. You can char the scraps and use them as tinder with a fire striker.

Lovely contradiction!, so cute, still forging steel but has an automated lawn mower, it's like a police officer taking up ballet class, love your videos

I really like your sense of staging and your visual humor.

When you 3D printed the bear logo I thought you were going to make a mould and cast it in metal thus making a branding iron to emboss the patches. Guess I was wrong. Good work, keep em coming!

So awesome that you've gotten to this level of fame. Unfortunately, I don't use Instagram, but I wish you all the success with your projects. I've really enjoyed them. Been a subscriber for a couple years now... Always love to see the new content!

I only want to say: in my opinion your talent and video's are worth my time to watch. Thank you torbjörn åhman

Congratulations, TA! I can understand why you have so many subscribers. You are a great craftsman and super fun to watch.

I absolutely love watching you work. The solution with the saw blade to mark out the teeth was genius. Still waiting for you to make some garden shears :)

Damn bro, thats some nice hack with that saw blade Before seeing that hack, I was like what he gonna do with a saw blade. Your small little hacks make me do something productive.

Thanks for sharing. You are not only a great blacksmith, more importantly it looks like you are a great father.

Your workmanship is excellent, well done and congratulations.

im convinced. this man's skill and creativity knows no bounds. there's nothing he can't do

Eu não falo inglês espero que consiga traduzir. Seu trabalho e maneira de trabalhar são fantásticos. Fico admirado com seu talento.

Congratulations for your 500K! It's an amazing achievement! To the 1M!

I started making leather hat patches recently, and seeing your stitching punch nearly brought me to tears 😂 such a genius idea! Makes me wish people actually made and sold these cuz hand-stitching in a circle is a pain and very time consuming.

Всегда смотрю с удовольствием, каждое видео это шедевр . Желаю удачи и процветания вашему делу!

The talent is endless with this man, blacksmith, gardener, machinist, 3D artist. What don't you do my friend lol.

the fabrication combined with forging is so cool

The trick with the sawblade... I live for ingenious hacks like that!

This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. Olde worlde meets the new! I love the sewing machine hammer!

Hi, I've seen your movie several times. If I don't write English very well, I'm sorry. You really are a great artist. Hello to your little girl on my behalf. I am an Iranian ... and I am proud of you ... Good.bay

Very impressive talent. To be able to work with your hands with these various items of equipment, and to apply this sort of ability must be so therapeutic.

New tools and technologies open up whole new worlds of use. Even tho 3d printing is almost 40 years old (1981), it took this long to make it into everyday use. The more ways you can tackle a task the better. Within our lifetime, well my lifetime at least, you probably would have sat down at an engravers vice to make the stamp and now we just send it to the printer. Just think what we'll be capable of doing in another 20 years.

Most of the world: The US will use anything BUT the Metric system to measure. Highly skilled Scandinavian Blacksmith: *uses rake to layout garden*

A typical conversation at the Åhman's house: Moo'oom!!! he's baking iron again

Makers make their own tools and make their own methods. Your work is excellent.

NGL - watching this put me in a good mindspace. thank you, I'm subscribing to see more of your work!

Один из немногих каналов, где интересно любое видео, желаю вам 5 млн.

Поздравляю с 500000 подписчиками!

I have never watched any how to videos so attentively and this one really made me spent my time watching. Great stuff..!

The solution with the saw blade is just BRILLIANT!

Congratulations on the 500k, well deserved! That is a very interesting indexing head you got there. :-) Super nice tool, I enjoy the process.

Отличная работа! Пол миллиона подписчиков - хороший результат. Ждём-с миллион. ))

the craft and dedication that went into this is just astonishing ^^Awesome work

Very fantastic performance. Your indexing methods in LATHE is superb. I learned how can use The Lathe to get so many different works. Thank you.

Siempre me impresiona con sus trabajos, no me cabe la menor duda que si usted participara en el programa de tv Desafío sobre fuego del canal de Histori Chanel, sería sin dudas el ganador de ganadores absolutamente saludos.
