Forging Chisels: A New Approach 

Super nice! Very cool tapered v-block you use to shrink the tube!

My first attempt to make a socket copying your method turned out great!👍

Only a sociopath would keep a workshop this clean. Only a torturer would wear that apron. Only a serial killer would choose those glasses! Seriously though, the work speaks for itself, great job!

very good

That is the cleanest workshop I've ever seen in my life... I dont know how much you pay your local shop elves, but it isn't enough.

Чистота на рабочем месте, вот это воспитание.

The cleanest blacksmith in the world!

I am willing to bet you trained as a machinist before you took up forging.

Your tooling is fantastic, very well thought out and executed. That must have taken quite a bit of time to perfect, great video 👍

Love your great idea to make the socket. Cleanest and most organized Blacksmith shop on the planet! Another great video!

Добрый день. Пишу Вам из России. Я Ваш подписчик, регулярно смотрю канал. Я занимаюсь установкой дверей и иногда плотницкими работам. В моём городе в России где я проживаю невозможно купить хорошую стамеску, долото темболее кованную. Хотелось бы Вас попросить если Вам не трудно, зделайте мне такую и пришлите, ширина полотна 15 мм. Адрес: Россия Тверская область, город Торжок, улица Металлистов дом 9 квартира 2. Заранее благодарен Вам

A clean shop is a sign of a sick mind! ;) Actually, very nice shop you have. Would love to have one of my own.

The quality of your work is obvious, cleanly forged so close to final dimensions. Would love to own some of these chisels and slicks.

Blacksmith from the elves !!! Love the clever tooling, the no-talking, the nature intermezzo, the open and clean workshop! What I learned: precise stick-welding by holding the welding stick itself at the end. Why did I never think about that or did I never see that before?

I officially dub thee "Tjorborn" of the USA! I love the video style, very well done. The forge work is quite excellent as well. ;)

Torbjörn sent me here. So glad he did.

👌👌👌👌

outstanding work. interesting dies! i envy your space heh...im in a couple of fairly small buildings and it makes for a constant task to keep tidy and organized..well done all around sir! where are you located?

Those taper dies are freaking cool. I’m going to make a few sets now.

Образцовый порядок в мастерской!

He held the welding rod instead of the stinger for a more precise tack. I'll have to try that out

First blacksmith video I actually learned something from. great job!

Greta job!!! It’s a perfect piece. I’ m sorry for my Inglish. I speak very bad. Best regards

Good looking chisel, working environment is very clean. Tools are really well made to get precise results, even longer production run. Really, professional.

You obviously have perfection in mind have you ever made a set of bevel edged chisels for dovetail work? I bet you make a mint if you prices were right, an clearly those who understand what perfection is will gladly pay it.

Dear Sir, if only I could have your workshop to have fun making stuff. You obviously do a lot of blacksmithing given your array of tooling and that magnificent power hammer. Thanks for sharing some of your work. Cheers.

Very interesting how you combined machining, electrical arc welding, and forging to make the chisel.

Sorry but your shop is just too clean and organized,

Very impressive,, all the way AROUND. Shop, tooling, finished chisel. 👍👍

I thought about making knives this way but never considered making chisels like this. Very good!

What was that plate of steel that was welded on the chisel blade, was it harder steel that became the cutting edge?

If you are persistent, you can do that much

Çok güzel işler yapıyorsunuz, atölyeniz harika gerçekten, tam hayal ettiğim gibi bir atölye. işlerinizde kolaylıklar dilerim.

Nice - just found your channel and instantly added it to the dozen of forging/machining channels in my list. Very good production quality and one of the tidiest workshops i've ever seen. A small suggestion: perhaps have a little bit of explanation of what you're doing and the thought behind it. Maybe written if you prefer that.

👍👍👍topp nice wishes from Germany Hans

Very nice, love the straightening jig when u quench, u have a very nice shop. Nice work.

No one can have that idolic a life of beautiful serenity in a beautiful welll equipped man shed of existential harmony without some hidden evil crapping on your day, its defying the laws of the universe 😯

I’m glad to see such craftsmanship and quality in my neck of the woods! I see you’re in Huntsville, I’m in Lufkin

Checked out the channel on Torbjörn Åhman's recommendation. He wasn't wrong. Very much enjoyed the video. That shop is phenomenal! Subbed.

Hi, look like a very good chisel here, all the process seem to be well thinked. You could make surgery in a so clean shop ,man !!! LOL Thanks for sharing !

I like this videos. Amazing working.

You can show your Job on Discovery Channel.Pretty good!

Thanks for this nice video . I like the mix of machining and forging that gives me a lot of ideas 😁👍👍👍

So relaxing to watch! I really like hearing the sound of the work, with a background of birds chirping! Thanks for the great video!

im just suprized you know about the diamond sandpaper plates they're all sold out now sadly. glad i got them when i did.

I love the pattern forging system you used, you had you chisel blank pounded out in a relatively short time. The chisel blade you produced looked very much like a miniature slick.

Very cool workshop, love the machinery and your ability to craft handy tools.

You're a neat Guy. I like your style. It's a nice orderly tic-tac going through your mind.

Простите, пожалуйста... а где тут кузнец? Классно, стерильно, отработана технология до градуса, до мм... ошибиться не возможно. Углы заданы, термичка-ляля... А где главный то? )))) Но это мое, субъективное восприятие. Ролик для рубрики " Как это работает" Спасибо. Всегда есть чему учиться. Не судите за субъективность. Сибирь. КРАСНОЯРСК.

Так мог положить стамеску, в конце ролика, только исполнитель (при всем уважении), но столяра так стамеску не кладут...

Now that’s craftsmanship. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Волшебник, в своём зАмке. С меня подписка, отличная работа. С уважением!

Amazing Craftsmanship... Thanks so much for sharing...

Nicely made chisel.glad to see you back👍👍👍👍

i don't mean to sound like an ass but, the point being? it saves a small amount of money on material but the extra process of welding must easily exceed that saving.

5:25 A dream shop!

Great video, have you ever forged curved gouges for bowl carving? Thanks for sharing really enjoyed watching a craftsman at work.

Happy to see you again! Excellent. Your approach has influenced many items in my shop. Your powerhammer gizmo with interchangeable/flippable tooling is really handy! Indeed. A lathe and mill go hand in hand with forging. Outstanding methodical approach!

i just went to your site...were neighbors! im up in fairfield, maybe ill see you at a hammerin soon :)

Hello, the first thing I appreciate is the work you do in general, especially what was reported to you in this video. Secondly, is it possible to ask what is the white powder that you add? Thank you.

I love ur equipment you have everything you need,😘👍👍 from northeast meghalaya

На 8:35 сразу видно что человек ниразу не столяр, или плотник.. Столяр, онже плотник НИКОГДА не положит стамеску или рубанок режущей кромкой вниз

You can watch your work all day. High level of work. Excellent video. Thank you. I am delighted.

Very 'Torbjorn Ahman' style of editing. I like it. I'm subscribing.

I make knives and was looking for an overview on forging chisels so I can make my own as well, very nicely presented! I am curious, 1095 isn't super pricey, why not use it for the entire body? I don't know the first thing about chisels though, is there an advantage to having most of the body made from mild steel?

Why the 1095 for the cutting edge only? And quite so, why use mild steel at all? Tx

I thought Torbjörn Åhman had the tidest shop and cleanest, most detailed work. You have shot him out of the water.

Just love your style! All that beautiful space between the shop objects makes everything look so peaceful.

You never stop amazing me! Well done sir! That is a tool that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your skills.

I'd buy one or two or three

Very cool. Nice shop.

Hey Man. You have a large space and Nice machines! Well organized! Congratulacions!!!

Адвокат Егоров зашёл в чат

Great stuff John! I've been playing around with timber framing slicks and have never been satisfied with how the socket comes out. This is fantastic! Next time I'm down your way I'd love to learn more

Nice clean shop and nice clean forging. I guess that it was a nimai (half laminated steel edge) forging.

Very good

Love your neat workshop, especially the floor. 👊👍

Exepcional tiro o meu chapeu pra vc guerreiro !! 🤔😃😃👏👏👏👏

Great video. Keep it up. I really enjoy seeing the power hammer tooling.

I wish any video a without instructions would please post it ( I don't complain often and won't just asking for better audio) I'm 71.don't need garage and shop noise I've plenty of my own. I'm going to try to learn and I don't I will cut my subscription and now I'll restart and hopefully enjoy the video thue Torbjorn of Sweden address to you. He's the highest rated Smith in my list. I'm planning lots of chisels and wood working tools so I'll subscribe and get on board. Please help me learn I'm good enough BlackSmith to follow.I just build some 1095 knives that are super great 👌 Thanks 👍

This video is impressive on so many levels. 1) the method of creating the socket is genius. 2) the specialized tools you have made to make these chisels. Power hammer dies especially. Your forge welding technique is looks nearly flawless (from someone who has never picked up a hammer). The layout of your shop is super smart. Excellent work and video. Thank you.

maybe iy was the camera. The heat color looked cold for forge welding.

Nicely made saweet

Wauw, Art out of an ArtShop! Thank you for sharing

bonjours à vous c est magnifique superbe travail cordialement bernard et michèle de france 🇫🇷

я так рад что вместо ножей стамески. посоветуйте как стамеску закрепить в рубанке. как сделать винт для зажима трудно закручивается диаметр маленький.

I remember machine shop, it's where I forge my very first chisel.

Totally awesome

I admire your precision but the idea of drilling a socket is not pleasant 4me

Beautiful work! After quenching, what is the purpose of reheating the piece in an oven? Also, at what temperature do you bring it to and for how long?

Very nice! I've never seen a socket done that way before, but, if you have a lathe, it makes a heck of a lot of sense! Just curious, what's the weight on that anvil?

Thats a mighty clean workshop.

Very nice

Where does one find a tapered "V" block like that to shape cones?

Shows soothing calm vistas of nature....then interupts it with HAMMER BLOWS....lol.

Really nice approach for sure !! Fantastic craftsmanship !!

Great work, thanks for sharing this approach.

That was great, sir! I would love to purchase that beautiful chisel!

I’m just wondering why two identical dies the same size? Unless there’s a difference I can’t pick up on. Nice job btw, I’m trying to make a set of dies myself , not done yet but I’m getting close. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 👍

🎥👍
