See me make a wood chisel from raw materials to finished product. I use an old technique of laminating steel to the edge of the tool.

Nice to see Nils Ögren get a shout-out. Despite his age he is already an excellent black smith and I'm very happy to follow his journey, as he pursues the quest of the ultimate axe.

Beyond a hobby. This is the finest in quality craftsmanship. Every step, every detail from scrap steels, through heat welding, shaping, sharpening and wood working. It doesn't get any better than this.

My grandfather was a woodworker. His workshop was full of different chisels, plains, wood mallets, and handmade clamps. When I was young, I was surrounded by the house stuff made by him. He left this world 30 years ago, but I still clearly remember him. Thank you for making me recalling him! You've made a wonderful chisel!

While the chisel is another work of artistry, the cats cannot be surpassed for their elegance. Gifts from God, all three. I only have a couple of years’ experience as a blacksmith, but a half-century with cats. I know the look of a happy and contented one who loves its family. That’s different from merely living comfortably with a family.

Wonderful craftsmanship as usual, such an enjoyable video! Love your cats, I have “ Rag Dolls”, long haired. Regards from down under.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they are still in the family, one of my sons is a carpenter and has inherited them. The carpentry skipped a generation, I am the metal worker which is probably why I enjoy your videos so much. My family share your love of cats, your cat is obviously well cared for and loved. Have a great day, regards from your Aussie friend.
