Antonia, Aussie saddlemaker here. I encourage you to take up and learn an old time skill of your own choosing. It is so rewarding.

My grandpa was a blacksmith and he died before I was born. Seeing a blacksmith create something is so incredibly fascinating; I can't help but wonder what my grandfather forged back then.

When he heard the rain that was the face and the body motion of "what in tarnation'

Minecraft never lied. Blacksmiths are pretty awesome people and with a anvil, tools can last forever.

Hi Torbjorn, fantastic piece of craftmanship showing great detail and emphasis on getting the blades just right. Love the "interlude" with Junior making the charging stand. Great video and a pleasure watching.

I love how you let your son help with some of the stuff you make . and also in this video the little 'side project' with the phones.

This is KEWL !!! And, you're right...it IS nerve wracking when you're putting the blade curve in for shear-action, because of the fact...the blade is SO HARD, its brittle and the least bit past the strength ledge, the blade will SNAP! I like the you LOVE the steel. Being gentle and taking your time to coax the metal into what's in your mind's eye! Beautiful! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your tallent!

Deceptively simple and beautiful, as always.

I remember seeing a similar process for crafting scissors in India in the 1990s, the blades were made from old worn out hi carbon steel hand files with handles made from cast brass and riveted to the blades. I purchased about a dozen of various sizes and still have and use them. This is a fantastic video, keep up your good work Mr Torbjorn.
