@nilsogren

My name is Nils Ögren and I am a Swedish Blacksmith! I began forging in the spring of 2017, with only an old barbeque grill, a hair dryer, a hammer & a big piece of metal as an anvil. I now have my own workshop and i make videos documenting my journey as a craftsman and a blacksmith on a monthly basis. In 2019 i began forging axes and have been obsessed by that ever since. I love to learn new things and that sparked me to create and upload videos to this youtube channel. Anything from Historical
