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.

I am a retired programmer currently working part time tutoring 4th grade math in western North Carolina, USA. Long time wood worker just starting to learn metal work. 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.

I am a vehicle inspector in New York State, USA. I was a school bus mechanic for 20 years and always have enjoyed fabrication and working with metal. Another great video.

Illinois, I'm a retired heavy equipment operator(30 years in a rock quarry) I dabble in blacksmithing and Love watching a Master in the craft!

Wow! Your reflexes are incredible This is the first time is see someone catch a steel fairy mid-air!

Another awesome video! I’m a U.S. Soldier, retired with thirty years and have some disabilities including PTSD. Watching your channel has been very therapeutic for me to relax. Watching you take a chunk of metal and making something beautiful out of it. (Yes, your tools and wooden handles are beautiful!). Thank you again for sharing your passion with all of us!

I'm always so glad to see your videos pop up in my feed. Days like today when I'm doing poorly they're appreciated even more. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!

Bless the steel fairy, love the winter scenery, I love that you show your stamp mark on each video and I laughed at the bloopers! Always an immense pleasure to chill with your videos! Thanks Torbjörn!

Merry Christmas to your family and countrymen.

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.

I just dropped my son off at SeaTac airport after his Thanksgiving visit. Now, with another bout of traffic trauma and empty nest syndrome, I feel like cold-forged cow pie. But what's this? Another Thunder Bear release? A cup of coffee, Christmas music playing in the background and a Torbjorn video. Feeling much better . . .

I do love it when the B I G H A M M E R comes out

I am here because you sir have provided some amazing skills in smithing, construction, gardening and dare I say cooking? But mostly for the skills you show in Blacksmithing. You and many others sir inspire me to be creative and above all else enjoy smithing. And I thank you for it!

You put that slitting chisel to work right away! 🤜🤛

So good to see your new chisel at work! Thank you and have a wonderful Advent!

Retired Power Plant Production Coordinator USA. I have been watching TA since he was at about 200K subs. Glad he included an out-take. He is human. :)

Very simplistic looking, big metal,Beautiful as always, thank you again. Always enjoyable Thank you

I took some guilty pleasure in watching Torbjorn struggle a bit holding and drifting the workpiece. I wrote that country song!

The last of the apples hanging capped with snow is now my wallpaper pic for this year's Christmastime. Thank you for another very satisfying video

I'm a horseshoer from California. U.S.A. I'm not very good at it, but I sure do like playing in the forge!!!

I'm a retired communications engineer...Atlanta Georgia...My great grandfather was a Blacksmith & moonshiner in the early 1900's...a fascinating character to say the least...as I, he would be in awe of your shop! So I have a connection as I see him through you...You have a natural talent and become one with the steel you forge, a true artist. Your abilities are quite astounding....I'm in process of watching all your videos from beginning. Thanks & God Bless...

While watching I was telling myself that you are superb, just awesome! Every video of yours has given me a feeling of sheer joy, pure happiness! You are a true craftsman. I'm an HVAC technician and an electrician based in Mumbai, India, and do have a lot of interest in such artistic things. 🇮🇳🙏

Как всегда теплое уютное видео. И, действительно, вначале лайк, потом просмотр. Отличное напоминание того, что пора готовится к празднику.

I have been hobby level smithing for 5 years now and to this day your videos are a constant inspiration to me and my work. And the sheer simplicity and elegance demonstrated in your work is a sight to behold. Forge on and keep up the amazing work, sir. SKÅL

I think the thing I like the most about your channel is that you actually use the things you make. Don't get me wrong the things you make are also beautiful art, but useful and get used at the same time. Plus I also like that your titles and thumbnail pictures are never "clickbaity" BS. Awesome Work!

Fixing the bolts in the holes was a nice trick... thumbs up, man.

Your generosity is inspiring. Your video and blacksmithing work top notch. Attention to nature esthetics and human family values nurtures hope. Thank you for sharing.

First sunday of advent! Love how you just lit the first candle! Great touch!

Jingle bells from luxembourg We had snow today 4cm !😎 Good job from one of the best Blacksmith in Sweden 💋🇱🇺

Beautiful! Can't say no more, everything was beautiful

Nice use for the slitting chisel 🇺🇸🇸🇪

Came home from an awesome day with my brother's family. First thing i did was watch this vid. Day could not be better!

15:50 Drop forging. :DD Nice 🐱 proof candle holder. They won't turn that candle holder over. My only suggestion is maybe adding a nice looking tray under the holder to catch drips from the candles. It would save you from cleaning the window sill.

Few people can make such a beautiful thing out of a regtangular piece of Iron.

So beautiful in so many ways!!! Merry Christmas and thank you for this!!!

Thank you for sharing this Torbjörn. Amazing design, simplicity at it's very best. Best wishes.

Dina videor är alltid ett nöje att titta på! Firefly, förvandlas till järn-det är original! Gissade att denna ljusstake, bara när du lägger den på vindrutan.

a blooper reel? aw torb, you're perfect the way you are

Once again you bring a seasons tear to a glass eye! Torbjorn! You worked hard on this one. Plugs are genius. You heard me when you blackened the felt edges. You showed warts and all with typical drifting issues: tools falling etc. We KNEW the new slitting tool would show up soon! Outstanding Torbjorn!!

The best candle holder I have seen in a long time. your splitting chisel done a good job well made.

I used pine tar and linseed oil on a couple walking sticks a few years ago. The finish is fairly resilient. I use a heat gun if the wood cracks and reuse the pine tar that was impregnated to reseal. It's a great black.

It's good to see that even a master makes a mistake now and then. Thanks for including the bloopers.

Interesting way of making a stopped hole.

I'm in Tennessee I love seeing what ya can do cause I go to my shop and learn something new everytime I watch ya make something thanks its great

Absolute artwork my friend. Nicely done. Plus, the outtake at the very end caught me off guard and I laughed out loud in my office during lunch break at work. Thank you for the video.

SImple and beautiful and as always perfectly executed (even with a little bit of drop forging involved ;-) )

Cool! Caught Tinker Bell, turned it into a piece of iron, and turned the piece of iron into a candlestick! A very Christmas tale)))

Love the blooper..... Love that you show stuff happens, and it's not always perfect.....

That is awesome. Im glad to see others celebrating Christmas and the coming of Christ. Godbless you and your family.

Monolithic creativity at its best. Wow Waiting for more such videos.

I am a semi retired Gunsmith from the UK. Interested in anything practical, always enjoy watching your videos.

WOW AND WOW!!! IN EVERY WAY!!

Another beautiful video... It makes my day when I get to watch your work and the beautiful country. Please keep them coming.

Awlways inpiring to watch, and lovely seeing the tools made in previous videos making an appearance.

that is one rugged and bomb proof candle holder!

And on this day Torbjorn said "Let there be light". Nice project.

Torbjörn, who doesn't adore your Christmas videos and projects??!! I was excited to see the season shaping up in your household. Thank you for sharing! Oh, school teacher!

love the song at the end! have heard it for 28 years so far and it doesnt get old, just like your videos.

Ett mästerverk som vanligt. Ha en skön första advent.

Simple functional beauty. Nice design. And now we know what the long slitting chisel was for.

Merry Christmas and the coming of Christ. Each thing you make is a work of art. Blacksmith objects are functional, but are seldom so nice to look at as yours.

The soul of a Swede must be made of iron because yours shows wonderfully in your craft!

Wow, wonderful work, and your slitting chisel tool really came in handy for crafting it! Something which I love very much is that each object which you craft can almost be felt after you give it the final touches, and that's something great. The snow and scenery outside is magical. :)

This is awesome! Watching a skilled blacksmith make something is very enjoyable!

It’s a pleasure watching you create works of art out of metal well done Sir

Awesome! Love the blooper at the end!

Great workmanship, unique design, and love the bloopers 😂

Great video👍, and hello from Russia 😁🔥

The most violent video so far! Beautiful result!

Oh! Fairy Steel! Christmas magic for sure! 😆⚒️

Great work! The expanding plugs were pure genius.

absolutely beautiful!

Wow. Again... wow!

Man o man. Work of art. Excellent piece. Well done

Beautiful Torbjorn

great video thanks from Ohio, USA

Very good job! Merry Christmas for you. God bless your family too. Congratulations from Brazil.

I love your work and the peace you emit. In all rest and quietness you make the most beautiful workpieces. Even with your workpiece redhot, falling in your coolingbucket, you stay calm ;-).

Beautiful candle holder!

Very nice... You make it look easy too! I especially liked when your piece fell in your bucket of water. That's stuff that happens to me. At least now I know I'm not the only one! 🤪

Beautiful.

Very nice. Great craftsmanship. Love it. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Involuntary hardening, Hehehe ! Beautiful work, as always. Thanks for sharing !

Absolutely beautiful!

Лёгким движением кузница превращается в сауну! Круто!

Otroligt vacker i sin enkelhet-finessen är att se det vackra i enkelheten & kunna framställa saker därmed

Υπεροχος όπως πάντα σε όλες σου τις δουλειες. from Greece.

Another nice piece of master craft!

Excellent work. Q: Tung ljusstake !? A: Ljusstaken skall vara tung !! Certainly, it will not fall over easily if it is heavy.

Hey Torbjörn! Hugs from Brazil!! Amazing Job! God bless!

Beautiful!

Beautiful

*Nice, thought, Torbjörn. Nice work.*

nice to see the new tools earn their patina, Torbjörn The Slitting Chisel is hard at work I see.. Skol !!!

Gott nytt år Herr Åhman!

Off the anvil, into the tub... LOL always nice to see I’m not the only one who flubs

Beautiful work as always, very clean and clever forging!

Love the candle holder. Have a good Christmas season Thunder Bear

Beautiful! And thanks for teaching me what a slitting chisel can do. I hope you can enjoy a well deserved cup of glögg and pepparkakor this evening. (did I spell it right?) In any case, I pray you have a peaceful and joyous advent.

Amazing. Can’t wait to try something similar
