If you posted a hunting video where you forged out everything you would need to camp and had your shovel, axe, (knives obviously) ect. and then crossed over like the "catch clean cook" videos with your forging stuff.. that would be siiicckkk
You should look up Clay Hayes youtube channel. He builds his own bows, arrows, quivers, etc. and hunts big game with them. He was just on a reality shows called "Alone" about wilderness survival.

Will's confidence in front of the camera has been picking up nicely, and seeing a talent of his craft pass down his knowledge to one of the next generation is always awesome. It's for this reason why old cultures still live and flourish today. Keep it up, Mr. Stelter! While the sun still shines and the irons glow red!
I need a Steele v Stelter reunion video where Will's like "When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master!" and at the end Alec disappears into a pile of clothes.
So cool to see you bringing your pastor on the channel!! That’s certainly new to TH-cam, at least for all the channels I follow. Very cool. Edit: I’m a pastor’s kid. I got to do stuff like this when I was the kiddo’s age. It was SO COOL to see what professions folks in our church had. I loved those people and I loved seeing their work.
Great to see your pastor and his son learning from you how to forge! I am jealous of them! I suppose I should not covet my neighbor's famous teacher...
This right here is the reason why TH-cam is great - teaching videos - and not only teaching - but showing the skills and showing them as you teach others - GREAT JOB!!!
It was a pleasure to watch you take your Pastor and his son thru the process of making amazing knifes. God has blessed you with artistry and a servants heart.
Will, it has been a wonderful trip so far watching you grow. With you working with Alec, and now you are teaching others. That is something that young man will remember for the rest of his life, not just the knife build but also the time spent with his father. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see how far and where your journeys takes you.
That was great Will, the best part of teaching someone a skill is knowing they’ll remember it forever. Especially the youngster.Even if he is never involved in another forge build Asher will always have memories of how his knife was made.Good on you!
Videos like this show how the apprenticeship model still feels relevant for trades like blacksmithing. Many of the processes aren't that hard to comprehend, but just take lots and lots of practice to actually do effectively. As much hands-on learning as possible, so that you can master every step a little bit at a time!
Props to Pastor Charlie & son for being good students, I wish my pastor was as cool growing up and I wouldn't be nearly the godless degenerate I am now :)
Will, I wish more people were like you. You are industrious, charactered, a Patriot, and you know from Whom your power comes. If our country and Constitution is to be preserved. It will be by people like you. He>I.
This was a cool one. Taking time to teach is always a good thing. That young man will most likely treasure the memory of heating and beating metal. Should be a scouting merit badge in that lol.
Sometimes we think of our dads as superheroes that knows everything. But to see your own dad continue to show that he's a life-long learner just set an amazing example for that kid. He probably thinks his dad is awesome; but also humble to always eager to stop and learn from other skillful craftsmen of the world. This video was just 100% wholesome. These guys traded life lessons and skills with each other, and the kid learned in person not only how a knife is crafted; but how adults should always interact in a manner to learn skills from each other to build communities. One hammer blow one at a time.
Dude! I love it! I love that you are doing stuff with your pastor! As Christians need a bigger TH-cam presence and to display your God-given gifts to the world only brings Him more glory!
I was there when Alec started his channel. I watched you grow in his shop. Now, I'm here as you start your channel, a Maker in your own right! Maybe I'll get to follow those you teach, as well. Age hath it's rewards!
Watching you teach not only another person, but his young son as well. That child has learnt skills that could help him in the future, you are apart of that future now. Kudos.
I like the design of the knife, very close to what I have been looking for. Good to see a dad allowing his son to get involved with the forging, have a sharp knife and having him hunt, too many parents wrap their children in cotton wool now. Also noticed Will is wearing a copper band, I hope he is not rheumatic at his age, after a couple of car and bike accidents in the 70s and 80s I have been wearing copper, sounds like rubbish but I think it helps.
I love this. I was used to see Will on Alec’s channel but I have to be honest sometimes it was exhausting the super high energy of that channel, the pace, the music etc. I love how chilled Will’s channel is and could watch it for hours. Can wait for more content. This episode especially was quite wholesome. Well done I’m sure this channel will get huge soon
Teaching the young the skills you have is a great calling. Ministering to the needs of a congregation and nurturing the love of God is a greater calling.
I have my grandfathers hunting knife passed down to me through my father. It is old and vintage for sure, but I imagine it was store bought run of the mill at the time. If it were hand crafted by them like you have done here it would be that much more amazing. Hopefully what you all have created here will be used and passed down through that family for generations to come.
Cool to see Will representing his faith. While I don't really following the Bible or organized religion anymore (son of Lutheran pastor here), it's still refreshing to see Will showing his faith without being overly zealous. Well done my friend. The subtlety speaks volumes.
Everything Will touches is GOLD. The thought of making matching custom knives with my son is amazing. If you aren't already doing this, making a unique set of knives for a Grandfather/father/Sons/daughters/brothers/sisters would be amazing!
This is so awesome! It's great that you got to work with your pastor and his son like this. I'm working with the son of some long-time friends who are missionaries as he makes his first knife. What a great experience.
you're the man! You work hard, connect deeply with people, make meaningful relationships, and are a craftsman at your trade. I hope you won't let the ever flowing stream of criticism get you down or keep you from enjoying the things that you enjoy in life. Cheers and looking forward to seeing your sanctified merch ;)
Oh my gosh, that was so wholesome! As a theologian and soon-to be pastor myself, I know what its like to teach, and it's so cool to see the teacher being taught such a craft. I actually also made a primitive knife (out of rebar, with a brick for an anvil but it still worked!), inspired by you and Alec. Thanks for the content and inspiration, and for the sermon link. Greetings from Germany, God bless!
Nice to see you pass along your skills to a younger generation. I know you learned from some of the best in the industry and it's good that even younger people are interested into the dying arts. Stay safe young man.
Great videos bud! I like the move over to more TH-cam. One of you biggest draws to viewers like me was that spark and Fun you brought to Alec’s channel. Don’t let the stress of Building mess with why you took this path and your happiness. You got this! Make sure you enjoy the process!
One of the best videos you have made to date!!! The way you took your time with each of them is completely awesome!!! I think its a fantastic thing when you can bring someone new in to your craft and show the the love of creativity. And how it can fulfill a empty part of your life!!! Great job Will!!! Keep up the good work and live your channel!!! God bless and have a great day!!!
I'm glad to see your channel and that you're still at it.. these are nice projects, especially for the kids.. I think when they have something that can potentially last a lifetime is rewarding for them.. Thank you for the great video. Keep it up!
absolutely amazing loved watching you on the Steele channel! Awesome to see your solo content and you couldn't ask for better live feedback from the father and son you taught to make there first blade together and will remember forever. you should be proud
Nice work Will, and it's great that you shared your talent with people that are close to you. I'm sure it will be something they'll never forget. Good luck out hunting.
Will, i think this video is fantastic, and a hell of a business idea, family fun! create memories and a legacy, i love the idea to make things with my daughter that she can pass on the generations like planting a tree, panting a painting and now making a knife, its just great, and i think you have the right temperament for this, the right personality and heart, in my opinion you should persue this, it will make your life furfilled, you still dont know this but to make kids happy its the best feeling in the world but when you have your own youll see and feel it for yourself ;) thank you
Love the forge stuff. Would love to see the hunt, larder prep and subsequent meal too. There must be a way to deliver that wholesome forge-to-fillet-to-fork circle.
In my country, skinner knifes have a long and wide blade and are supposed to be handled holding the back edge of it. They have a handle only to be practical in any other situation. Great knives you made the man, great teaching and great video!
Great video Will. So glad to see you teaching and passing it on! The Bladesmith community is one of the most giving communities I have ever meet, you ,Jason Knight, Steve Schwarzer, Mike Williams, Jerry Fisk and others have been so helpful to me, and one day I would love to be able to do the same.
By far my most favorite video of Will ever. There was a much more relaxed yet focused energy that made it very fun to watch. Keep up the good work Will!
I absolutely love how your channel is coming together. You are going to be so successful and I am happy to be along for the ride all the way from Atlanta.
Young man, your artistry and talent is amazing. I loved how you taught that to those two and that you had the patience to let them actually DO the work. Well done, sir.
He's got a wonderful career for himself. And a fast growing youtube family of followers :) Keep up the Excellent work!

@@BloopTube bs, he will be making some money with it by his mid teens, provided he's persistent enough
I was thinking the same thing! Will would move it and he would hit it , same spot every time! Good video 🤘
Best part of this Will. Is knowing you made some father and son memories that will last both of them for the rest of their lives.
I was thinking the same thing
Speaking as a pastor, I wish I had folks like you in my congregation... Keep up the good work Will....
"I'm sorry if you don't like that but I. don't. Care." - How everyone should live.

Amazes me the amount of people that arw perfectly willing to eat meat at a fast food chain and then the moment someone talks about hunting or killing for food they freak out.
@@brandonthompson9957 I find that the "freak out" is more common when the hunting is for sport only.

From the perspective of the animal, I'd rather be killed in the context of a lifetime of freedom than one of captivity- depending on circumstance. There is nuance in all things.
@@AllanMacMillan I agree trophy hunting shouldn’t be the reason you hunt but with that being said all of the big deer and turkey I have shot are on my walls but they were also enjoyed at the table with my whole family.

Really glad I subbed as soon as I heard.
I love the fact that you are teaching especially a younger generation the craft of knife making "forging". Keep up the good work Will!
I feel he teaches many more with his videos. I often look to wills videos for inspiration and guidance.
"Purpose-driven Knife" best pun hands down.

Will was always the teacher.

Coffee etching.
Being funny.
All stuff will taught him

What a great experience for your pastor and his son, looked like a great time! Love it.
So many smiles. I like this version of will.
That would be so fun for a little kid. Getting to swing a hammer is exciting.
some great looking blades and the little dude did amazing!!
Love the forge stuff. Would love to see the hunt, larder prep and subsequent meal too. There must be a way to deliver that wholesome forge-to-fillet-to-fork circle.
