You should learn how to roll a coin across your fingers
Like so he sees it

I might learn this for my channel
Brian Brushwood with Scam Nation or The Modern Rogue would be the best mentor I think. That one may fall more under the Rogue's domain.

rafael navarro i think he's talking about "alec steele".
Do you see the iron-y?
Nominative determinism
4:15 I just love the musical cuts... Cutting with the beat is so nice
I don't know why, but when he says "I will treasure this forever" I just feel it deep. We want something significant to last, nothing else. Even a small knife is enough.
GREAT EDITING!! Love the evolution of your channel Mike ❤️👍😎🎧
lol i think that was alec steele's editor, he does it in all his vids lol
These vid seems very much like it's been through the same editing process as Alec's are.. suspiciously similar! :)
4:08 the way that beat lines up perfectly is amazing
F12 he sped it up and slowed it down to fit
Ultimate Orange Gamer yeah I know but he still lined up
That’s obvious🙄
Yea!!
That's what Alec does in every single video
5:05 can anyone else feel vibrations on their face when mike plays the hammering fast ?

Surefailz would be great
I might have to learn this myself for my channel
This is why I love you. normally, people just lived there normal lives and do the same thing every day. But you set goals every time you finish one, always overcoming anything. I respect you for that. You have inspired me, keep doing this :))
not everyone has a life where they can afford to do things like this, or even have enough time.

Gotta say thanks to Mike for introducing me to Alec’s channel which has quickly grown to one of my favorites all these years!
Alec Steele must have been around 20 years old during these recordings. The positiveness he displays is unreal and so is his achievements. What did I do around 20? Getting drunk every thursdag-saturday, played computer and effed up my studies. You sir, are an inspiration for generations. :)
You better invite this man to your wedding!
True
Why? No offense, but even if he's a nice guy that doesn't exactly make them friends. This was probably just a business arrangement with a guy he could get along with.
its so satisfying when those flakes of metal fall off the glowing metal
I find it kinda sad, wasted metal that oxidises because we can't forge in the right environment.
I really enjoy hand forging but the amount of wasted material especially in Damascus blades is kinda amazing. Think it may even have been Alex who did a super densely layered one and he lost loads in the forging process, let alone final grinding.
Would be interesting to know how much of the fallen scraps get recycled.
Baked the flakey stuff isn’t technically metal, it’s basically just iron oxide, there’s not a point in recycling it because the energy that would take is not worth it
Yup, same stuff as a rust just made at high heat and faster. Not really sad, just a fact of living in an oxygen rich environment, almost everything is doing that just not as noticeably.
Though forging in a vacuum would be so cool...
I’m English and I went to my Scottish cousins wedding and I was like 7 or 9 and got a real one. So me and my best friend were just running round with knives for 2 days
4:07 , DAMN! that guy's really proud of mike
*The music and edit is always so unbelievable nice man.* + you're already at 300k subs, you will be at 1 mil subs in less than 6 months. trust me.
4:09 was great
Really????
Alec seems so fucking fun haha, you can tell he loves his work, and enjoys every second of it.
Ahh, Alec's crazy hair days, they will be missed
People like Alec make the room shine more brighter.
I saw you on Alec's channel and now I'm subed to you too.
Same! Your videos are terrific Mike!
You should learn *LEATHER* *CRAFTING* and make yourself a scabbard for the wedding. That will be awesome. love your videos!
Agreed ! :)
the way the music syncs to the stomping at 4:14 is so damn satisfying
I've seen Alec Steele before too!! this is incredible, so cool that you get to meet these guys and learn from them, how amazing.

Learn to do the moonwalk
I was thinking this the other day when i was trying to moonwalk
Less, the moonwalk is really very easy. It looks hard because it's an illusion. Can learn in 5 minutes or less.
When he says "i'm not going to have a plastic knife" he looks like he's about to murder the whole wedding.
Very nice piece & a family heirloom with such a cool story is worth the effort!!
Great choice of mentors!
Alec's enthusiasm is infectious!!
Learn either pen spinning, kendama, or cardistry. I like cardistry better, anyways i can't do the other two. Please do it it would mean so much to me.
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THATTT!!!! I'd say cardistry or kendama- kendama is super challenging at first but very addicting.
hey i do cardistry too! you got a ig?
Agreed
Hi Mike, my name is Yura, i'm from Russia. Not so long ago I found your channel. You make great videos. But I have a problem, I'm doing almost the same video as you do, and it may seem that I stole your idea, but i didn't do it. I was inspired the video by Josh Kaufman and decided to create a channel where I would learn different things. And this things are unicycle, rubic's cube and juggling, I, of course have videos that do not look like yours, but I do not know what a common ideosphere is or what.
And in the future, I think our ideas will be repeated, it seems to me inevitable, for example, my subscribers want me to learn how to spin the ball on my finger. Now I try very hard not to repeat your topics, but if it turns out that they will be the same, please do not be offended and do not think that I stole your idea.
I have a terrible grammar of English, so I hope you understand what Google translated here.
I really love your channel,man, good luck to you in everything.
No one cares, this is the internet. Do what you want
TwentyFree your grammar is completely understandable:)
You’re grammer is awesome. Also, don’t worry about it. A lot of channels copy the same things.
TwentyFree Stop trying to advertise your channel
Andrew Li that doesn't mean it's okay. and most of the time it's a mistake.
Hello I'm Brandon from Las Vegas. And I just wanted to say Well done ,the both of you.... you two are really a inspiration. Alex man so young, and bad ass in your craft. The mind set you display to try new craft, and always working on your own craftsmanship is really phenomenal. Great job and keep up the good work.
I’ve got to say thank you for this video because your the reason I found alec’s channel and have love all of yours and his videos so thank you for this collaboration
When he gets married he should film it and add how long it took to get married (start from first day they met until marriage)
Lil Auzzy that’s pretty crazy idea and I don’t know if anyone would do this but it sounds cool and a bit strange but that’s really interesting idea
You know he probably met her before they started this channel so they can't just begin from the start again.
Verden Green I don't mean restart, I mean just get old photos and put it into a compilation
Lil Auzzy *Learn to get married?*
Why are you here, Mr. Meeseeks? Is Mike using you to learn something??
What the hell are the chances of this. About a week ago I started binge watching both of these youtube channels that are not related in any way at all. Only to see them colab a week later. Wow.
Gotta love Alec for his skills and enthusiasm, and also Mike for his hard work to learn everything.
Mike is such a real person and is always making people smile. He is always teaching me new things every day. Keep up the inspiring videos mike.
Hey Mike Boyd, I challenge you to learn how to accurately us a sling. Idk if you take recommendations fron TH-cam comments, but they are pretty tricky to use. I'd say a good goal is to be able to hit 3 targets at 15m in a row. Good luck, I love the vids, and do it quick! Hopefully he will notice this if I keep posting this on his videos, and of course, if you guys support it as well.

Edit: fixed a small grammar error
Mystogan .Ravenheart I know, I was just joking :)
Btw, there's a vlog I follow, and the guy forgot about it and left it in his pocket, so his favorite knife was indeed taken away - he had it for like 20 years or so.
So, to all the people out there, keep it in mind
It is really interesting to watching you learn this, I have a blacksmith for a dad so I have been learning this stuff since I was young, but your getting really good.
I like how instead of just asking him to make it for him he learned how to do it himself

Paper
Hammer
Anvil
Some wood
