Blacksmithing - Making a potato hoe
A hoe can come in many shapes and sizes. Today I make a leaf shaped one, that is perfect for digging and harvesting potatoes and other vegetables.

Potatoes won't have a prayer... Beautiful work.
This is still one of my favorite videos.
I've gotta say for overall purity of the craft, and for your precise craftsmanship, your blacksmithing videos are my favorite.
I am terribly sad that this tool is not called a potathoe

Great smithing and good looking waxy red potatoes. Potato soup! Potato salad!
There's nothing more I like, than to watch a master craftsman at work. And, what I really enjoy about this video is no crappy music dubbed in. Watching a master blacksmith at work without all the lousy music and boring dialog or monologue it such a pleasure. Seeing blacksmiths at work tells its own story. The visuals and the audio of the work are the story-line and plot. The final product is the epilogue, or the final chapter of that story. If I thought for one second, that I could afford to buy any of the things that you make I would do so without hesitation. I know quality work when I see it. I'm a blacksmith/knifemaker, but nowhere near the skill level as you. I specialize in Northwest Coastal Native tools of The Greater Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. I mostly just make tools for my own use now and broke away from trying to retail and sell what I make. Most people just want me to give them the tools, rather than buy. So I make, but don't sell. It was a frustration that had haunted me for years, so when I gave up selling I found the joy of blacksmithing and knifemaking again. I am hired occasionally to teach, give demonstrations, or to make tools at an Alaskan Native Heritage Center for their woodcarving classes... that is the only time I charge for my things, and I never yield any profit from it. However, I get the joys and pleasures of watching young people use the tools I make and take pride in the works they learn. It's a worthwhile tradeoff. Thank you for always making inspirational videos, and thank you for always being the master craftsman and professional that you are.

The Rolex of gardening tools.
Don't want your videos to stop. Another work of art.
You are by far the best blacksmith on you- tube.
As I watch this video, what strikes me most is the _apparent_ delicacy the power hammers exert on the hot metal when you are fist shaping it. I'm sure they are hitting the mettal much harder than it appears, but it looks as if you are barely tapping the metal into shape - almost as if you are asking the metal to form itself. It's another beautiful tool you've created. Thanks for sharing the process with us. BTW - I cannot express how grateful I am for the natural sounds of the forge and workshop while you work. I greatly appreciate them; to me, they are peaceful, calming music rather than the squawk of an artificial overlaid musical score.

Thank you! It's a great hammer with good control so you can do light blows quite easily.
That is not only a very functional tool but, I would have to say that your level of craftsmanship elevates it to near artwork. Nicely done!
Work of art. Will last several life times. 👍
That is a work of art! Functional art! So awesome! The Thunder Bear’s son: “Papa Bear, I would like a new bike” The Thunder Bear: “ No problem little bear, Let me fire up the forge..” lol
Few things rival the joy of watching a skilled artist at work.
You have this garden tool for a lifetime. This is still quality work. That can still be passed on to the next generation. Later they can proudly say that their grandfather did a great job.

Nice trick there, with hot-gluing the cutoff strip back on so you could mark out and cut the other sides of the handle. Really clever!
Always a pleasure watching you work Thunderbear.
Your work is a gift for us to enjoy. Thank you for sharing; much appreciated.

Fantastic handwork. Learnt is learnt !
Many years ago I was fortunate enough to work in a smithy for a short time. An interesting lesson!
Call me selfish but I wish you needed a new tool every day... Hands down the best blacksmithing channel on youtube!

I am instantly a fan of your work. You know the best un-secret of blacksmithing - accuracy. The one who needs to swings the hammer least is best. Excellent work and, more importantly, excellent technique. Now, I want to watch all of your videos. And, I am jealous of your toys.

Шикарный инвентарь, примите искренние поздравления, связанные с его рождением. Очень понравилась ваша работа с древесиной при изготовлении рукояти. Напомнило детство когда при отсутствии нождачной бумаги дедушка предложил использовать осколки стекла вместо цыкли при шлифовке очередной рукояти из дерева для лопаты или граблей... Ковка в вашем исполнении это просто 👏👏👏👍 благодарю за фильм.
Nice job ,and a lot of satisfaction for potato vegetable,with quality control... your cat !!!!
Hello Mr. Torbjörn Åhman, do not be tired, your work is unique and professional
Wonderful my friend! Great project, no talk just action. No music, perfect video. Keep up the good work!
Äntligen. Jag är alltid fascinerad av din till synes framtida vetskap om järnets flykt under hammaren.
wonderful job, very well done. I liked the positive potato at the final...
That is a very nice tool, Torbjörn!
I put a million likes for you and your wonderful work
I've been watching you for a few years and don't remember seeing you forge weld before? Nice to see. Digging for potatoes is like hunting for treasure. Awesome tool.

Very nice, leaf-shaped.
Wish we had a tool making blacksmith like you here. The forge and foundery were closed long before we moved to this town. All that's left is hidden under vines, briars, and spent charcoal and coke.
I just want to give a shout out to steel. Amazing material. And also hitting things. BIG shout out to hitting things.
That was amazing to watch. I really enjoy watching you make tools, it's really relaxing. Great craftsmanship as always. Thank you for sharing.
This is fantastic work. It would be amazing to hoe potatoes with a tool of that caliber! The roots don't know how lucky they are.

I used to follow a lot of blacksmithing on Sword ...but toi teached me really a lot on this vidéo, so poor on stock removal. All made by forge ! Thank you a lot for all 🙏😁
I remember eating potato cakes off a hoe when I was a kid on a field trip to a old village in my city. We also made candles. Was a great time. This was in the 80's.
Would be an honor to work with a piece of art like this
