Making a discus!

I decided to make a custom discus for my son, who is competing in track and field, where discus throwing is one event. A fun project but a bit more work than I first anticipated as you have to meet some specific parameters, like size and weight. I'm very happy with the result and it feels great to throw!

    Very different from the usual builds on YouTube! I think it's the first time I have ever considered how a discus is constructed. Thanks 🤓

    Kids are getting big, enjoy your time with them :)
  • @petercowell2051
    That is really neat. Looking at your children made me realize how long I had been watching your videos.

    A proud man and a proud father! They grow up so fast!
  • @Katzztar
    You are an awesome dad! There are great dads that support their child in track and field, but not many of them can say they can build equipment for their kids to use!

    It is so hypnotic watching a master craftsman like yourself create something so elegantly simple. True artistry, displayed in full.

    This is such a cool build! I also love that you take the time to show each sticker as you put them up. You should do a javelin next! 😂

    Starting with an enormous ring, part of me thought to myself, "Ooooh, just imagine some chainmail at that size!" Far more trouble than it's worth, but an amusing dream to think of it stretched across or between some buildings.

    1:02 can we all just take a minute to appreciate Torbjorns cows. His kid is very lucky to inherit those genetics.
  • Watching your work is mesmerizing. This was a great project that your son will cherish.
  • @jamesa7506

    Proud Dad, I'm happy to see you. Thank you.

    Son is saying "why didn't you carve one out of wood?" Very cool
  • @lawrence500
    No kidding: Just one hour before I had to check if I didnt miss any of your videos. Good to see you're still with us! Your videos are always a wholesome experience 👌😎
  • Every skill combined, hats off to you Sir, you're a true Meastro!

    Hello my friend, I am one of your followers from Algeria, and I have watched almost all of your videos, and allow me to express my admiration and appreciation for you and your beautiful and respected family, and my fascination with everything you do and make, especially what is related to iron and fire ... I wish you and your family a beautiful and happy holiday, and I ask God Almighty to bless you all... Thanks.

    Make you wanna appreciate discus now - not just a sport but you made them into an art.....
  • @GongFuWarrior
    So cool, love the project. Now, when I think about it - there's plenty of hammer forging videos, but no videos of forging trowing hammer. Either olimpic style or classic highland games style would be awesome.
