Love your vids
Next 2 episodes!
This episode ;)
Episode 5
I can’t be the only one that is hoping this turns into an 30part mini series on this handle alone 🤣
I dont know I kinda like longer episodes.
That is the Alec way.
I would love a long series, but not a lot of short episodes, like this one or longer
Knife breaks in heat treat.
Starts a whole new knife.
Definitely Damascus.
Something crazy, like his meteorite ingot.
30 parts, all at least 35 minutes long.
Just like old times.
The delicious suffering.... 😈
He's gone from dirt floor to two workshops in two different countries and owning his own Workwear and tool supply shop Alec you bloody legend.
superb, just shows how many hours must have gone into the original C15th one without power tools or modern grit belts.
thats true but the original ones were far from perfect also swords and other stuff out of steel looked nice as long as you stay 2 meters away from them and as long as these things fulfilled their job it was fine
@@fizjak5250 What about when the job is being ornamental..
Cool man love your channel
"Carving sea monsters is easy, just remove the bits that aren't sea monster."
I'm saying it now before someone who is good at carving says it.
Lol'ed
I like it!
Omg he's using the devil's dykem! He must miss Will...
IKR
I think Alec does miss Will
I was just thinking: I bet he wishes Will was there to file those flutes in for him.
@@karl_alan you mean hand sand?
What is more worrying, he doesn't seem to have the aversion to it that he once did. Descended into the dark side, he has.
I normally absolutely despise RAID ads but honestly the amount of charisma you have made me have to watch it well done mate😂
no. His charisma makes me want to watch his metal working, no human could ever make me like a raid legends ad. Lol
Dude I objectively wrote one more raid ad and I’m out. 😂 crazy how they annoyed us both
@@cavemanvi I mean...you know you can skip forward if you don't like the ads, right?
But the real question is, when are you going to make a weapon from RAID? 😁
Same
What amazes me is how much work this is taking with modern tools, just imagining how many hours of work that stiletto would've taken back in the days is mind blowing...
Years probably...
seriously, there's so many examples from the middle ages of absolutely insane levels of craftsmanship, minus the pneumatics and microscopes haha. i'm guessing (?) the example alec's drawing from was cast lead? would have made it alteast slightly more reasonable to accomplish haha
I've met a guy that does engraving on metal without power tools, just with chisels. He was finishing a round piece of brass of about 20cm(~8 inches) that took him 2 weeks
@@maledetto1221 oh yes, they're definitely out there haha. Ilya from 'that works' has done some pretty incredible engraving on steel, also mostly (if not entirely) with hand tools. the example i'm thinking of was on the flat of a sword though, carving in round is rough.
@@blooobish I'm thinking of Uri Tuchman.
Alec: *recording
Dog: "sup" *licks camera
That laugh was so good
Doggo steals the show FTW!!!
Way to go Doggo!
"I didn't mean to zoom in there- I'm sorry Mrs Steele." Classic Alec.
I laughed so hard when I saw your derpy monster drawing! 10/10 content
Alex should really get some side guards for his glasses. Nothing like a random ricochet to ruin a career.
The general shape of the flute is probably easier to be filed in, more control and less slipping!
He is defenetivly going to scrap atleast 1 handle.
Im waiting for that skinny tang to snap.
@@DH-xw6jp I thought the same lol
like in the good old times. Actually looking forward to.
I think you forgot a 0
@@DRINKIWHISKY I think you also forgot a 0
Can’t decide if Yogo loves us or is jealous that Alec is talking to us....
I am excited to see how this turns out
I may have no real intention of playing Raid any time soon, but the way Alec pitches it definitely makes me more interested.
This is why more people should sponsor him, he's a SUPER enthusiastic representative.
And an excellent craftsman to boot.
“...these craftsmen...OF THE 1500s!”
That’s gotta humble a guy.
Pretty sure the craftsmen of the 1500s cast their see monsters. Modeling the handle in wax and casting it in iron is a lot easier than carving it out of steel.
Alec is coming back around to his roots, very enjoyable content
Alec: "Aaargh carving steel is so hard"
Michaelcthulhu has entered the chat.
Alec, you are the perfect spokesperson for ANYTHING. You are the only TH-camr that makes watching a sponsor spiel enjoyable.
You should see Bobby Duke's ad's lol. They are hilarious.
Or the internet historian
I love those shots of time-lapse that slowly moves across the shop. I don’t know what equipment that it, but it’s cool
2:10 is a doggo moment, no need to thank me
thank you
This reminds me of your old videos Alec. You've been thrown back into a primitive world with a lack of well designed tools... I love it!
I love the sound of air powered tools, takes me back to when I was an apprentice sheet metal worker. All our power tools were air fed. Good job Alec.
“Can’t make it if you can’t draw it” Proceeds to make it out of wood, because drawing wasn’t working to understand it
I'd do clay: way easier to work, change, add and remove. Also since it's sculpture instead of carving, it exercises different parts of the brain and that can help understanding
This would have been a perfect candidate for casting.
Cast steel is weak, has too many imperfections and kinda just sucks. If he was going to do it out of bronze that would be an option though.
Alec, I've been using you as an example, for my kids, of what hard-work and stepping off the main path gets you in life. Thanks for being such a positive example in the face of so much negativity in the world. Cheers (from just down the road in Idaho).
I always enjoy watching when your projects require modification or expansion of your work areas. You looked absolutely giddy hauling out those compressed air lines and fittings. Been watching since the beginning keep up the enjoyable and educational content!
When you are working with larger die grinder bits , try to touch a solid serface with your pinkie finger (the hand that holds the grinder) ... It helps to control the grinder better ...
Alec, why don’t you make it straight, then heat it up and twist it, then do the detail work?
Wow that would make it so much faster and easier to deal with. But wouldnt it be hard to keep it even?
You need to double twist it, so you can have two sea monsters... if you do how you say, you’ll finish with only one
You'd nearly have to split it like a pineapple twist then twist it and forge weld back together
@@joshd2013 u damn right
@@maximilienfilion7802 thanks it happens every so often lol :-)
Love how Alec is hitting up the sponsorships! Get that money Alec 👍
Cant wait for the MAKING THE SEA-MONSTER STILETTO!!! Part 57
Alec: I suck at drawing.
Gee, if only we knew of at talented artist who could help you... you know, like someone who designs power hammer nose art. ;-)
And, I'm assuming, drew the powerhammer on the chalkboard on the wall in this shop.
i think the point isn't on transfering it on paper, but to understand how exactly to reproduce it
Alec is one of the only youtuber where i don't care if he had advertisting in his video! Thats cause of how natural he is and what he does❤️
Watch "Mann Shorts", they are masters at the sponsor skit. 👍♥️ And they are hilarious as well.
I skip the ads every time. On all channels i watch.
His adds don't even feel like adds
@@918Kustomz yeah im here for the metal working, not 2 minutes of ads. I know its a big part of his revenue but i will skip it every single time no matter the ad.
Adapt or die Alec, your resilience will always pay off in the long run. Truly inspiring. 👍🏼👌🏼
its crazy to think the work people could do back in the day with no power tools, just pure experience
10 dollars that alec ends up having to scrap that handle in a future episode.
Update: Episode three just aired 2 hours ago. Alec had to scrap it sooner than i thought. Pay up yah scallywags
"If you can't drawer it, you can't really make it" ~ Alec
The episodes are too short! As soon as I start really getting into it the darn video is over. You’re killing me Alec!
I'm not sure what the name for the opposite of ASMR is but THAT GRINDER IS IT.
"Ahh I didnt mean to zoom there!" *does it again*
🤣🤣
Timestamp?
I started making excited monke noises when I saw this pop up in my feed
I love how you have a problem like not having a space for jewelry and just go and solve it in no time
You inspire me to just go and try things out
Thanks for your amazing positive attitude and show of creativity
Alec is back!!! This is the content I'm subscribed to this channel for! Ridiculously difficult, crazy long multi-part series with tons of mistakes that miraculously result in an improbably gorgeous final product are why I watch Alec Steele. Thanks for your perseverance, friend!
i made a similar fluting with a file and it took me like a full day
Alec apologising to his wife for accidentally zooming on the wrong part of a game character is so sweet.
It's fascinating to see some old piece being recreated today with modern tools, it makes you realize the level of mastery these peoples had of their art
I have never enjoyed an ad nearly as much. The head behind the mill brought me extreme joy.
Man at arms reforged has a “knife wheel” attachment to their grinders. Looks like something that would absolutely work for you. That’s all the info I have however. No idea how to get one
Kerry made it just for that purpose wouldn't take much just grind down a normal wheel to size
My god that tang is so skinny, I'd be worried about it snapping once quenched
if it's fit up tightly (particularly at the transitions) in that steel handle and guard, shouldn't pose a problem. i'm sure alec will leave it soft, so snapping shouldnt be an issue hopefully. def something i wouldnt want to do without a mill and lathe to make sure the fit was perfect.
you could always just not harden the tang. Alternatively draw back the temper pretty severely so it has some more strength. Besides, it's an art knife, it doesn't need to survive being stabbed through rib bones.
@@blooobish I still creates a weaker spot no matter how good your fit up is, or wether or not you harden the tang.
The transition you have made is so inspirational!
Good to see you’re pushing yourself forward within the limits we are all facing together.
Love your work
i'm not a sculptor, but i am an illustrator who dabbles in 3d, and it's incredible to see the tenacity and perseverance you have in working on these sea monsters! your drawings were perfectly serviceable for the rough work you have to do for carving, and very similar to sketches i've made to signify more complex end results. i also grinned when you said you'd done a SECOND wood carving to practice for the final steel, i imagine it was a lot of work, but in my opinion quite necessary and extremely helpful for a better understanding and a more polished final piece! so i'm really glad to hear you felt it had helped a lot
i would do that groove on lathe with thread cutting function
I almost thought this is going to be like the 25+ parts viking sword series all over again
I just got into blacksmithing because of you Alec! Thanks for all the cool and fun tips.
I love this series so far.
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"- Robert Browning.
Keep at it, Alex. You may have to scrap the handle, though...
it wouldn't be an alec steele project if something wasn't scrapped haha
@SilasTheVirus My mistake...
@SilasTheVirus You weren't rude. I should've wrote "Alec", his name is right there. :)
Forgive the ignorance of this woodworker: The threaded tang looks somewhat skimpy for a blade of that size. Is there enough strength in there to resist bending at the guard?
It may not be a problem since he can weld it with the handle
The guard fits over the rat tail tang onto the flat bar portion of it, the handle itself seems to also fit a few millimeters over the flat bar part, so should reinforce the transition to the skinny rat tail and prevent bending.
Alec! Your projects are amazing! keep up the great work! I love how you take on new challenges and when a speedbump happens, it doesn't ever slow you down.
I can't wait to see how this dagger turns out. Love Yogo! Boop the camera!
Looking forward to another 60 part series, I love this detailed hand work!
Alec, the source handle is 3 monsters, not 2. Only the lower part is 2 monsters. You can see by the angle of the heads.
Makes sense since the scales follow the same 2/3 pattern
Could that initial twist grind have been done on a lathe
I thought that also, but with the diameter change it would have to have a path for the cross slide to follow.
Conical helix path yes, convoluted helix path no.
@@SafetyBoater 👍
@@SafetyBoater I'm thinking the first hard metal lathes weren't till sometime in the 17th century, and still many generations short of the lathe in Alec's shop.
Pause at 5:32 and look to the bottom centre of the screen to see a birds eye view of Alec's derpy horse. In all honesty though, I cannot wait to see this come to life! Gonna look so good!
It's so funny seeing alec, who is an amazing black smith, with all these crazy machines, making swords and what not. Then uses Ryobi. It's like seeing an army with Rottweiler, and the some pugs sprinkled in
It’s funny how craftsman can build a piece of beautiful art using there hands almost 500 years ago but Alec is struggling to replicate it with all the power tools he could muster...!!
Slow down Alec!!! ❤️💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻
If he had to use just hand tools this would be a 300 part video. I wouldn’t complain though.
They probably carved a piece of wax and then cast it out of steel.
@@poisonouslead85 One does not "cast steel".
That cleaned up super well, I can’t wait for this to be another long build
I love that you still seek to challenge yourself. This project is gonna be awesome
I’m screaming at the phone “BOBBY DUKE COLLAB!!!!”
They’ve done one in the past. It’s pretty neat if you haven’t seen it.
I was thinking Bobby Duke as well, and then Clickspring for the hand finishing xD
@@Galerak1 clickspring is in Australia though so there'd be a fair wait on it to return
Clickspring yes. Duke.. I just cannot take that much exuberance. Very talented, too loud and silly for me.
You should try making a real Percy Jackson sword pen.
Riptide
I like how he thanks the product makers even though he's not sponsored by them
Got to love your enthusiasm for Raid Alec! made me giggle!
Why aren't you doing a wax casting?
Maybe he is trying to do it the traditional way by carving it.
@@graan1802 Not buying it. The smart thing would be to carve the wax and make a brass casting.
ah yes, no views and yet there is 26 comments. Good job youtube
@alecsteele I'm an illustrator and what I'd recommend doing is starting by fluting the handle like you did with the rapier, that's the hard part out of the way, so now you dont have to confuse yourself with the complex shapes and whatnot. Once the handle's fluted it's probably gonna be a lot easier than you'd think to free hand the details.
Good video Alec - this is the kind of video that attracted me to your channel years ago - grind away my good man!
The 8 down votes were looking for "hotglue crafts"
pretty sure the downvotes came here thinking it was still a forging channel
Nice surprise ! Thanks for the content Alec, a pleasure to watch as always :)
Something that might help you with the layout of the scales would be finding some videos on how to draw a traditional japanese koi and/or dragon. You draw out the grid for the scales, then go back and round out the tips to make it look like real scales (overlapping half circles essentially). Makes the process so much easier to wrap your head around and it keeps the consistency of shape and size really quite uniform. Hope this helps.
Cant wait to see more!
Seeing this just makes me want another Bobby Duke team-up, where you create a really unique and intricate blade. I think that would be amazing!
I love how you never give up!!! Keep up the great work.
I live all the work u put in. Definitely quality work
THIS is what I've been missing from this channel. Not sponsored literal nut shields.
I'm just waiting for the episode that skinny tang snaps in. Waiting. Always waiting.
I LMAO! When you said, "I've made dogs poop out of this handle!" I just LOVE the way youse guys across the pond put some phrases! Alec! You are HILARIOUS!
That idea to do a wood test piece first was brilliant.
I can't even imagine how they made the ones that he is using for inspiration. I mean this is awesome to watch and see it start to take shape using today's technology and tools. It's just incredible that someone could make things so intricate with just chisels and punches.
I'm loving these build videos man, good vibes!
awesome build. thank you for your beautiful work.
Amazing work Alec - keep going!
Looking forward to see how it turns out. It's looking really beautiful and unique. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On God Bless
after making narrow lines with a rotary air tool, you can lock it in a vise in a block of wood and use a triangular file or a ring file, or a file with blank sides to remove the stock material. You want to identify and remove volumes one at a time until you have the rough shapes. Start with the largest volumes and work down to the smallest. The final work is engraving chisels to so the under cuts and hard lines, and light shaping removal and brushing down to polish. The tool you show in your book looks 17th century, and seems inspired by cannon dolphins (lifting handles.)
The hardest part of doing historical recreations like this is the school of craft production which evolved over centuries that produced the original product that you simple are not privileged to. All that knowledge passed from master to apprentice is lost to some some extent. But that is also the fun of doing things like this because as you work, and inevitably fail, you begin to rediscover how the original craftsmen made the object. You begin to think as they probably thought, and basically time travel back into their minds and resurrect their skills and abilities! Nothing beats that experience!
I love these type of episodes.
Damn now I am hooked again and want to see the next episode asap
Great progress, exciting to see you take on something ambitious
in a world where youtubers just buy a cnc and call it a day, i appreciate your true craftsmanship
Well there will be more episodes for us to see then! 👍😁 Thanks Alec!
It amazes me how they made such beautiful engravings and carvings centuries ago with no modern tools
Looks awesome well done
