Alec: I love it when tools and items are light, and nimble... Also Alec: I'm so glad we built a 2000 lb bed and office tables you could run over with a tank
I think a jeweled pendant of your logo would be amazing. Either the logo itself or imposed onto a disk with some awesome etching on it. And bonus points for making a link chain to put it on!
@@mathewritchie Nope. Both pronunciations are acceptable, but only if it is not spelled out. If it is spelled out in writing, then it can only be pronounced with or without the "i", according to how it is spelled. As long as you aren't reading it, both are correct.
You know weight is important but to me the biggest high I get as well as you do is self gratification when you see a completed piece that you put all of your blood,soul and craftsmanship into and that feeling you get when somebody sees it for the first time and it shows on their face. That's makes it worth while even as a machinist where my boss would say thank you I appreciate it and now we can get the machine running.Thank You Jake Bissel.
I only came across your channel roughly this time last year by accident and honestly it’s amazing to see what you’ve achieved in 12 months from working on your own to running a business employing multiple people top job man.. regards the next project I think we’re all pretty much crying out for a long intricate build with a similar level of detail to the Viking sword (personally my favorite series of videos back when you were making mistakes which only drove you to get better)
As a dude who has packaged and shipped 300+ packages in one day(11.5 hours) before, I can tell you that there is some additional efficiency to be made in your process. Get yourself a shelf behind the shipping computer for a majority of the boxes and another shelf to put the shipped packages on. You should have your packing slip already printed out and ready in the box. Shipstation is a great help. This is literally what I did for 3 and a half years until March of this year.
One of these days, you oughta make a "Wood Damascus" handle for a damascus knife. Take a bunch of wood chunks, Fit them together as best you can, then glue up with a resin mixed with sawdust.
I'm curious if you had more money in inventory of grinding belts or grinders at the start of packaging ... holy cow was that a lot of belts on the wall!
I'm so proud of you man. I'm used to seeing you only with Sam and now look at you, you're surrounded with people helping you with your company. You've come a long way Alec, keep it up! Cheers~
Just had an article about your engagement ring come up on our news website! Wife showed me the headline, I said “bet money it’s Alec” sure enough it was. Love seeing you making all this, making a future and a name for yourself man! From your southern neighbor, congrats and keep it up man. And now, back to my knife while you play in the background
You could make a viking arm band with serpent heads or wolf heads and put in tiny garnets for eyes. That would really be a challenge with all the tiny details and I think you would enjoy it.
Alec, You could try making some Viking Arm Rings. Perfect opportunity for gem placements, some engraving, and some twist work with damascus sounds like it would be amazing.
Glad to see you’ve embraced the land of opportunity. You, sir, are a rockstar. Fantastic job starting your own company. Best of luck, and I hope your business continues to grow!
Hello Alec, I am a long time fan, and student in metal and jewliry smithing. I like to see everything that you make. In the next and last semester for me in the metal classes i am doing small metals casting. would love to see what you have in mind for such things. again keep up the great work and cant wait to see whats next.
Alec and Will merged together is just Rick Astley from "Never gonna give you up" Keep up the good work guys! 🙌🏻 PS, video idea: recreating the original music video? For Christmas or something? 😉
so new challenge for you and the crew, you guys should make an old school Pocket Watch. you could do jewelry on it another big challenge Alec and Will should do is make one weapon and one armor piece to wear as if it is the aftermath of a apocalypse. and just test who made the better times.
Talking about the "crotch" of the fork. "It is exciting to work on a shape I never work on." That is an odd thing to admit on a blacksmithing youtube channel, Alec.
Americans: "Aluminum" Brits: "Silly Americans, it's Aluminium. Stop changing our words." Humphry Davy, the chemist who originally named the element: "Alumium."
Nailed the fork tweak at the end there. It was triggering my CDO. (the order the letters OCD are suppose to be in- LOL). Congrats on the product launch!
In honor of Season 3 of The Crown, how about making a Talaith Llywelyn (Llywelyn's coronet), the historical original of which was made of iron and re-plated in gold? Four alternating oak leaves and fleur-de-lis on a circular base ought to be a fun and challenging forging/casting/carving/polishing project. Perhaps more fun than packing and crotch grinding even. :P
Alec! I would love to see you add some jewels and engraving to like a pocket watch or wrist watch band!! Hell, even learn how to make a watch. i know how much you love to learn new skills. I would definitely watch it.
You could do some fancy-shmancy brooch, earings or pendants. With all of this you could do some complex casting. Like wing-themed or some other. Or try to do some national motives from Asia to Africa countries. Or you could do some blacksmith's theme pair pendants for you and your wife. Like hammers and anvil, or something like trinket. Also you could do something for your team with logo with casting. Some trinkets will also do the thing.
Alec sad to say that the Americans got it right this time around - In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy identified the existence of the metal in alum, which he at first named "alumium" and later "aluminum." Davy proposed the name aluminum when referring to the element in his 1812 book Elements of Chemical Philosophy, despite his previous use of "alumium." The official name "aluminium" was adopted to conform with the -ium names of most other elements. The 1828 Webster's Dictionary used the "aluminum" spelling, which it maintained in later editions. In 1925, the American Chemical Society (ACS) decided to go from aluminium back to the original aluminum, putting the United States in the "aluminum" group. In recent years, the IUPAC had identified "aluminium" as the proper spelling, but it didn't catch on in North America, since the ACS used aluminum. The IUPAC periodic table presently lists both spellings and says both words are perfectly acceptable.
Yo for a type of jewelry you could perhaps make some out of glass? You have all the facilities to potentially experiment with glass molding or blowing which would be a new skill and learning experience for you guys? You could even experiment with different types and perhaps inbed diamonds or jewels into the molten material as it cools. Anyway love your guys work😂
Will: Explains in great detail about how he is immortal
Alec: Lovely
I have stated on the last two videos and can still confirm he is a robot

I just love will's literal humor :)
That is the correct British response.
It means nothing from me but I have watched from dirt floor to this. Absolutely insanely proud of you sir.
Nothing wrong with even a master Smith still having a dirt floor. Probably saved more than one dropped piece.
@@BradyT918 never said there was anything wrong with it. Just simply remarking to his professional transitions.

As long as it isn't gonna be a 40 part series, you should make it...
Aluhminihum
hey im in Damascus,Oregon and we celebrate it hear!!!
That just gives you time to put some jewels in them.
7:08 Getting a good grind on that crotch eh? Im sorry, ill see myself out.
Alec: I love it when tools and items are light, and nimble...
Also Alec: I'm so glad we built a 2000 lb bed and office tables you could run over with a tank
I am a walking irony 😂
Beds should to be solid so in theory it's as heavy as it has to be...
Considering your new love for crotches and jewelry how about a bejeweled trident?
He needed a beefy bed for all that heavy duty power hammering he does in there. 🤣
OK I will leave now.
@@marciaprobst5745 a bejeweled Trident sounds good
Forge doors - with intricate decoration, like the entrance to moria. Takes two items off your list at once :-)
Replica doors of the doors of moria for the forge that would be great. That is a great idea.
My new favorite idea here! Do it alec
"We can get into this crotch area and give it a good grind."
Wrong website Alec.
*phrasing*
Love it when Alec grinds the crotch
does he even listen to himself?
So he’s on the Grinder App?
Just do not follow Matt Cremona here on TH-cam.
I think a jeweled pendant of your logo would be amazing. Either the logo itself or imposed onto a disk with some awesome etching on it. And bonus points for making a link chain to put it on!
"Aluminum. It's American for 'metal.'"
Lol, just ask him to spell it.
Aluminum or Aluminium
I have always thought it was a speech defect ,Americans just cant pronounce 'aluminium'.
Ah yes, I too listen to aluminum.
@@mathewritchie Nope. Both pronunciations are acceptable, but only if it is not spelled out. If it is spelled out in writing, then it can only be pronounced with or without the "i", according to how it is spelled. As long as you aren't reading it, both are correct.

Make torcs!
Alec you’re not a machine, you make things bye hand.That is what gives it character and that’s what people want,hand made.
hey im in Damascus,Oregon and we celebrate it hear!!!!
Damascus is also a city in the Middle East. It’s Older then America. That’s the joke. 😂
Here
Zulfburht I think he gets it 😂
@@lawrencejameson3102 yes it is
Alec sounds oddly excited to be grinding the crotch of the fork
I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned about Alec grinding his crotch...
A shirt with "Aluminum: It's American for metal" would be really cool!

Love the way the two of you mess with each other, it's really fun. Love your videos guys, keep it that way.
It has been a long way since the first workshop. You are amazing, Alec, thank you for your videos!
Quenching with aluminum. Huh. 🤔 Learn something new every day!
Most stainless steels are air quenching. The aluminium or copper blocks help but only for certain stainless steels.

Last time I was this early, Alec was in a different time zone.
Seeing the shipping was cool, appreciated that part of the biz.
When are we getting the next 28 part masterpiece?!
Regarding the "jewelry," Alec should make a set of dice! The combination of shapes would lend a fun challenge for both machining and engraving
Y'all ever watch these videos an just be like damn, no homo but alec be T H I C C
One of these days, you oughta make a "Wood Damascus" handle for a damascus knife.
Take a bunch of wood chunks, Fit them together as best you can, then glue up with a resin mixed with sawdust.
Congratulations on the launch of your product line Alec and Will, I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Yes to more jewelry making!! Rings are always fun to see being made, and the options for design are limitless!
I'm curious if you had more money in inventory of grinding belts or grinders at the start of packaging ... holy cow was that a lot of belts on the wall!
I'm so proud of you man. I'm used to seeing you only with Sam and now look at you, you're surrounded with people helping you with your company. You've come a long way Alec, keep it up! Cheers~
Alec, nice to hear that you wish to make more jewelry for the channel/customers please consider a Aquamarine ring or necklace with silver perhaps?
It's so fascinating and interesting to watch your business grow. Congratulations on the successful launch, Alec & Co!
I like the most that there is no plastic at all on Alecs shiping stufs. Planet first.
Fork and knife serving set ready in time for thanks giving 2020 .... :) lol
I’d love to see you make a crown or tiara, on the jewelry front.
You scared the heck out of me bending that fork! I just KNEW it was gonna go PING!!!!! Phew!

Loved the correction!!! North American. Thank you Will!
lmao. "getting into the crotch area and giving it a good grind."
“And having a really good time. This is fun”
I do believe that is generally the reason why you grind in the first place 😈
If you are looking for jewel setting projects, I think seeing you make a pendant would be really cool
you became a great compagny in just some years , great job alec
You could make a viking arm band with serpent heads or wolf heads and put in tiny garnets for eyes. That would really be a challenge with all the tiny details and I think you would enjoy it.
I think Wills thumb deserves its very own t-shirt 👍🏻
Alec, I'd like to see you make a nice hand-and-a-half sword, 1,000 layers with a star pattern and a jeweled guard and pommel. Thanks for asking!
Fucking Will.
"I planted a seed like...300 years ago"
Can't beat the man's honesty.
Alec, You could try making some Viking Arm Rings. Perfect opportunity for gem placements, some engraving, and some twist work with damascus sounds like it would be amazing.
Love the chemistry between you guys!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
For the jewelry you should make a fancy shiny crown. Every Steele vs Stelter the winner can wear it.
Glad to see you’ve embraced the land of opportunity. You, sir, are a rockstar. Fantastic job starting your own company. Best of luck, and I hope your business continues to grow!

Will refusing to say al-you-mini-um.....priceless!
Steelman, its 5:25 am, and you are just to darn happy!...
it's not jewelry but it is small, how about chainmail?
Ordered My 2x48 grinder today! Can't wait to get it...
Gota love the aluminum aluminium joke in the beginning
Aluminum plates in a wood workers vice works great for the quench. Just tighten the vise.
That outro got a lot of Thanksgiving in it :D Cheers Alec!
I really liked when will said "it' more of an american, North American celebration" theres more to it than just US Canadá and México boys
A jeweled trident would be awesome!
Damascus drop point locking folder with jeweled scales
Alec and Will merged together is just Rick Astley from "Never gonna give you up"
Keep up the good work guys! 🙌🏻
PS, video idea: recreating the original music video? For Christmas or something? 😉
Welcome to the alec grinding grinding channel
It would be great to see you make some more Damascus rings with some engravings.
Dude! So many add's...
Jewelled Damascus napkin rings to go with the dinner set 👍😉
You might have finished the handle if there were less breaks for ads 🙄
GeekChickUK ok boomer
so new challenge for you and the crew, you guys should make an old school Pocket Watch. you could do jewelry on it

Hope ya guys had a great Turkey Day!

You should make the one ring- with inscriptions or Aragorn’s serpent ring

Would love to see you make a pair of decorative wrist gauntlets
Would love to see you make a cool Nordic necklace/bracelet!
Please make a Damascus knuckle duster with stones and gold inlays.
Mr Ferris ^ do this plz
Alec you should do something with Matt from Demolition Ranch and Off The Ranch. Alec Steele co and BunkerBranding would be awesome.
if you get a wood working setup you should make a bow and arrow and cross bow, i really feel your skills could make some beautiful gear
For the jewellery episode, how about a Celtic torque with jewels inlaid into the eyes of the animal heads
I think you should make some pendents. Those can be fancy or simple and everything in between. :)
I would love to see you make a chest plate or maybe gauntlets ultra detailed with Gold and gems it would be sweet
Dude your doin it. Your my hero
Please make a fully jeweled sacrificial style ceremony dagger!
congratulation on the launch..!
I like the trident idea others have thrown out here, that would be cool to see and give Alec two crotches to get into with a good grind
Make a Alec Steele Mr.T style gold necklace...:P Very cool work and hope you and the whole team had an awesome turkey day!
Alex your a great educational entertainer

Are you going to make a Damascus safety catch for the fork like were found on some of the older carving forks?
Turkey + Ham = Damascas Thanksgiving
If you made a diadem, it would be awesome.!❤️
I would have preferred a "Holy Granola" shirt.
How about a jeweled, damacus Sword of Damocles, to help inspire getting things done by the deadline?
