Special thanks to John Rigoni for inspiring me to take on this project.
Also, I would like to thank Pål Lien for sharing the experience he has had using roughly the same setup.

Thank you for the shout out :) I like the interchange kiss blocks, a good idea. I find rotating evenly clockwise/counterclockwise gives a uniform forging. Another cool feature is that the "tube" wall thickness can be whatever you want. Looking forward to what you make with it, I'm working on a candle snuffer idea at the moment w/ this tooling.

When fellow YouTubers inspire each other, wonderful things happen.

The toolmaking is as interesting as the things made with the tools. It is the essence of engineering. Terry Pratchett wrote in one of his books that with a forge you can make simple tools, and with simple tools you can make complicated tools, and with complicated tools you can make anything .

Really admire your willingness to learn from others even though you're pretty top notch with your blacksmithing skills already Torbjorn. A true sign of a master smith at work.
-
Always a good day when Torbjorn posts a video of his blacksmithing!
-
Funny, I found johns channel about a year after I found yours and thought how much you two seem alike. There’s a shared ability to come up with tooling and execute in such a way that inspires me. Very cool build!🤙🏽

We all have someone else to thank for our lives. Right? I hope many boys and girls get inspired by u my friend across the sea 🌊…

You are a very inspiring channel and even though I am too old for this type of a hobby, I look forward to every single piece of content you make. My grandsons have attempted to do this and I have spent a lot of money on equipment for them and I appreciate the inspiration you have given them. Thanks for being amazing. I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and your family!

I would love to see more nature/gardening content as well! Sweden is so beautiful, makes me wish I could travel. Greetings from Texas!
-
Yet again, another wonderfully inspiring work of masterful craftsmanship Torbjorn, i just know your uploads heighten all your subscribers vibrations and not simply just mine. Can't wait for the sequel to appear. Thank you again Sir. Peace and Love to you and your's.

As a novice doing everything by hand I can say with ease that is one of the most phenomenal things I've ever seen, that same process would've taken me at least two days.

I couldn't build my socket Jig fast enough & it works fantastic! By far the easiest sockets that I've ever made. Greatly appreciate these video's brother. My first project was sockets for a few hewing spears that were ordered. From the USA.
-
Making the 'kiss blocks' was a good improvement. John's videos have a similar style to your own- excellent camera work so we can see what he is doing and no unecessary chatter!
-
Nooooooooooo I want to see the second part!!
-
This is pure and simple therapy for me. It’s the small things like the sound of the steel when it’s placed on the anvil. The little nature scenes of your beautiful homestead are very welcome. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for this. Perhaps some socket chisels? Warm regards to you and your family from Alabama. Robert.

In USA, we have Husqvarna Chain saw but not oven. Such a pretty place you have. Thanks for Sharing !!!

Great shout outs - Rigoni Ironworks, another great channel. (I always think Rigatoni because I am Italian) Super clean forgings. Timothy too, yet another great channel. Torbjorn, thank you for showing the creation of tooling and how to work with large equipment, besides the forging of a thing. It helps me grow in skill.

Oh wow that was awesome. I have always wondered how that was done. I've seen a lot of what they call a seamless socket tool. But I had no idea how you would make it. Very interesting lesson. I could watch your videos for hours lol great video

You saythanks for watching . I say thank you for teaching 👍

You are a talent I love to watch. Remind me of a guy in my welding class. For Valentine’s Day he gave his girlfriend a dozen roses made in stainless steel. He curved each pedal for each rose. Then he did a steer’s head, I was in awe like I am in awe about the items you create
