Alec! Now you gotta make a Damascus bolo tie!!! It's only fitting for the spurs to have the total package
Foot mounted pizza cutters ?
The Hot End - you have to place the pizza on the floor and take a run up lol
Having now watched you make loads and loads of Demascus by now as it's 6 years later this is a simpler pattern on the Demascus but honestly it's one of my favourites I've seen out of the lot. Looks simple, clear, clean and really suits these smaller projects.
Those turned out beautiful, I'm happy you finished that project.
Next Project Idea : Damascus grill spatula
you could make a living in cowboy country making spurs like that
Not really.
@@Pennsyltucky84 yes you really could. I know of people that do.
@@reidbankert4425 No, you can't, since those are crap.
@@Pennsyltucky84 angled with proper rowels and you could for sure
@@alexanderkelson8043 Sure, but my point was not making them 'like that'. 'like that' they're crap.
I would love to have a set of spurs like these! They are absolutely beautiful.
Alec.... nice work! Couple bits of advice.... when tapping in the mill, insert the tap in the drill chuck locating on the diameter of the tap ( not the square end) put the spindle in neutral, apply small amount of downward pressure and turn the drill chuck by hand, remember to " break the Chip" by reversing direction often....this will keep the Tap straighter! Threading on the lathe with a Die & Die Holder, use the tailstock Quill without anything in it, put small amount of pressure against the Die and as you thread extend the Quill so that it keeps the Die square to the part you are threading! Break the chip often, saves the Die, and cuts the thread better! Be sure to clean the chips out of the Quill so the next time you insert a tool you won't damage either the tool or the Quill! Thought I would send you some tips! Mr Musk - Kievesky Forge
+Paul Moskevitz Thank you my friend!!
I love Damascus, it is a thing of beauty and anything made from it is raised to a different level
Hi Alec, I can say that anyone cowboy or cowgirl would be happy to wear those spurs down here in texas. Nice job sir.
wow they look absolutely AMAZING! Completely worth the wait!
I wanted to compliment you on your music choices my three year old love to dance every time I'm watching one of your videos and he can hear it and makes me laugh and I like that he is so animated when watching something I like. keep up the awesome work.
Because everything always looks better in Damascus. Awesome work as always sir.
+fatusbloke thank you my friend!
Just started watching im so addicted now love the spurs awesome job on them
Geez Louise. Those are beautiful. Killer good work, Alec.
At 1:45 in the video when you removed the spur from the acid my jaw just dropped. Those are beautiful.
That is a beautiful pattern Damascus. I really enjoy your videos.
Awesome work. I have been looking forward to seeing this project completed and they turned out amazing. Would love to see some animal head hardware made.
They do look beautiful. Congratulations on this spur build.
🎵"...I've got spurs that Jingle, Jangle, Jingle..."🎵
Really like to see them after the leather work is done.
They are great, I watch you everyday and my friends at work watch with me
Those are awesome! Nice to see them through to the end!
They are beautiful! Please keep the projects coming, I love watching them.
I am absolutely amazed! Fantastic work of art!!!
the spurs look great. I specially like the heads on what I assume are the strap rivets.
those are fantastic Alec! I love the way you put them together and the patern works perfectly for a pair of spurs.
Those have to be the best looking spurs ever. Alec you are a inspiration. I am a Hobbie Blacksmith thats regaining my health and confidence. So thank you!!
Alec, big fan from Canada. The spurs looks amazing. Love the Damascus patern on the studs holding them to your boots. As for an idea for the next build, I say you try a damascus draw knife. (Used in the lumber industry). Love the channel. keep it up.
Eric from Canada.
A Damascus Friction Folder would be awesome.
Those spurs look amazing! Next you should make a Damascus tomahawk or ax head!
Amazing looking. Someone I used to work with, Her Father always wears spurs....You know when he is walking around....the jingle is very distinctive.
Oh my god! They are gorgeous! brilliant work!
im a horse rider . i would kill to get my hands on those .... but seriously man i learn so much from you everyday , you have inspired me to make my own forge and start forging knives . keep up the excellent work , love the vids
amazing video editing and quality, as always! thank you alec
loved this series great skill builder project and there is a cool piece at the end even if they dont work as functional spurs they could be a dress pairthat wouldnt rip or destroy a fine suit
Beautiful pair of spurs. Great job!
Wow, very nice Alec! You are an artist.
Major beautiful workmanship.
as an old cowboy I can appreciate these spurs. would like to have a pair just like them.
Great job! Take it from a horsemen who has seen a lot of spurs:)
Looks like heelies are back in style
absolutely stunning! Great work!
Good looking spurs. I'd love to see you make a damascus flint striker for my bushcrafting. Good job on the videos.
Alec!!! Those Came Out Magnificent Beautiful Work Brother!!!
Your hands remind me of my late grandfather. He was a mechanic😭😭😭. He always called them the hands of a working man. So thanks for the nostalgia
your channel is my new favorite, thank you very much for the consistent and interesting uploads Alec!
Freaking awesome! To stay on the cowboy theme you should make Sam some Damascus horse shoes. Can't wait for the live show!
These are FANTASTIC.
You do some amazing work and your editing makes the videos even more enjoyable, thanks for sharing!
Those are great! I plan on building a hydraulic forging press out an old log splitter. once I get it up and running this is a project I'd love to try!
you should make a Damascus boomerang
Beautiful pair of Spurs!
That looks great, you could do damascus steel tongs next.
Or a damascus steel rose.
A damascus steel axe.
wow what a beautiful project.
These spurs was a nice project, werry well made. I would like to watch you make an axe, with your own personal touch.
I got spurs, that jingle jangle jingle
Great video, never seen real ones before, great patern!
Those would make great San Antonio Spurs!!!
as always great job,love all your project videos keep them coming and thank you for your time and effort!!!!!
Great job on the video editing! Looking forward to seeing more :)
These are beautiful, I love them!
never been a fan nor have I ever known what spurs are for but they look amazing.
Turned out amazing!
quite a cool proyect
Beautiful spurs Alec and what an awesome project. Just an FYI, all traditional spurs I've seen are in a star-shape so they dig into the horse so it will start galloping. Also, what were you using to polish the steel after the acid dip? Keep up the great work.
Really well done! To complete them you need someone with leather working skills to match your blacksmithing. There is a small niche market for spurs where cowboys/girls take their equipment very seriously. With the right straps, you've scored! Keep forging!
These things look totally badass!
+CHERET - Visual Storyteller Thanks man!
This is about as close as I've ever been to wanting a pair of cowboy boots...just to maybe have a set of spurs like that. Then again, there aren't any spurs near that good looking around, so maybe I wont run out and buy any quite yet. Absolutely artwork, those spurs.
They look pretty sweet!
+Bethany Doubtfire Thanks Bethany!
wow. cool spurs Alec.
Gorgeous spurs. Are the threaded tabs on the sides made for leather straps? I don't see any other way to secure them to your boot. Watching your channel has given me the motivation at 25 to build a forge and start smithing!
Absolutely beautiful work good sir
Anything Damascus Rocks!
thank God you finally posted something I was having Alec withdraws! lol
I own spurs and those are spectacular.
I would like to see you make japanese style wood planer blades. Damascus steel forge welded to a thin plate of high carbon content Blue steel with the characteristic "hollowed out" flat back. You could probably get the Samurai carpenter to make the wooden blocks to hold your blades. Video series cooperation between youtubers
This guy called it! ⬆️
Yes and a month before it actually happened just not with a planer blade
Absolutely Amazing Job
😳💨 mind blown! Great job Alec
a bec de corbin ?
Nice built Alec !

Just goin to need to make some leather straps and you'll be all set. Good lookin set of spurs though

gorgeous.. those are just absolutely beautiful..
thumbs up on the music and the spurs look amazing!... I have no use for nor ever desired spurs, but those are TITE!!!!
if you have any of this pattern damascus left you should make a run of cufflinks!
Nicely done.
Awesome work Alec, how about a flipper knife for your next project. I've been looking up Stan Wilsons work lately and it's beautiful.
Well done. Awesome job mate
awesome spurs Alec... I recently made a deal with an old farrier I make him some spurs he gives me his anvil..when i first started looking on how to forge them there was nada so thanks for this series of videos it's gonna help a bunch
Did you make the trade?
awesome video sweet spurs your the man!!!!!!
wow!amazing and beautiful great job.
Very cool. They don't work so well on sneakers though. BUT still cool. Nice work, as always. One little thing. The discs need to be barbed. That's a functional element.
Awesome spurs 👍
glorious , I can say justice was made here. bravo zulu
OMG, those are beautiful

Those are some nice spurs, I prefer more star shaped spurs but still amazing. Are you going to be selling these in the future?

Really nice job Sir!
