I finally finish most of the interior sheathing in the blacksmith shop and make a "storage unit" for the power hammer tools and dies.

I think this is the only channel where I'm not afraid to look at the comments :) It's so wonderful to people from around the world express their appreciation for our favorite Swedish blacksmith, gardener, woodworker, artist, cook, and dad! Keep up the wonderful content, Torbjörn!

I like your timing and editing, this is why I keep on coming back over and over to your channel. Seeing your videos is like a Christmas present every time. I absolutely love that you don't try to fluff up your videos with music, like some of the other channels -- your videos don't need it, because they're perfect on their own. Just something about the real and raw quality of what you do keeps me coming back. Keep up the great work you're doing and thank you so much for sharing these videos with us.

@kenparnell4297 5 жыл бұрын

Back when I had my forge open, I would always take a few minutes at the end of each day and clean up. I know fellows who seemed to do the opposite. I ran out of rebar once and needed to finish up something and couldn't get to the steel house. I called a friend and he had some he'd sell me. I got there and I was shocked at the mess in his shop. His forge was a death trap, trash all over everything, rust on his tools. I got the stuff from him and asked if he was alright, maybe he needed some help. He said no he knew where most everything was and if I came in and cleaned it up he'd never find anything again. Honestly, it was a pile of junk filled with trash from take out boxes he just piled up when he finished eating. All I told him was that if it ever catches fire I hope you don't try to put it out. It did burn down a year or two later and he retired. LOL!

@opwards 5 жыл бұрын

I knew you would get around to making that rack for your power hammer tools. haha ;) Torbjörn i have to say how awesome it is that you have such amazing burial mounds and likely old stone circles so close to home. As a sort of student (self study) of all things from the old scandinavian world it would be fantastic to walk where the ancestors stood and worshiped the old gods.

Torbjörn, you're an all-rounder, but a particularly good blacksmith! I learned to weld and forge 45 years ago. Unfortunately, I could not perfect the forging because it was no longer necessary in my job, but I always liked it VERY much. Best regards from Leipzig

Nice! But no insulation in the walls? I'm guessing between the forge and working with it, there's no need for it. As one of my employers used to say, if you're cold, you ain't working hard enough. Enjoyed watching.

@princepa123 3 жыл бұрын

the insulation would also be fore sound proofing the workshop, in hopes of deadening the sound from the hammering. I would also think that one could incorporate a duct system to pipe out the hot air if it got too hot.
