Alec Steele Blacksmith 2022
I know It’s repetitive for you and hard, but using the power hammer and putting out drawn out footage you smashing steel just has some type of hypnotic power that I always love to see
Jamey the goat bruh. He’s been syncing power hammer impacts with beats.
Yeh Jamie is too skilled
Agreed!
@@Volt64boltwithout Jamie the AlecSteele youtube channel would be just another great maker on TH-cam, but with Jamie it’s a whole vibe and an experience lol
@@Little_River_Forge Alec brings he skill, Jamie brings the vibe
Jamie appreciation post:
Dude, Jamie OUTDID HIMSELF with the cinematography, the editing, the soundtrack, holy smokes. This video is a masterpiece and I'm only a few minutes in. Good lord that man is talented, I'm genuinely blown away.
Alec is pretty good, too.
Y'all, how lucky are we to get to see this work? These two are both brilliant artists in their own right.
Haha thanks dude!
@@JamiePopple yeah Jamie. Your editing is what makes watching these videos so easy to engage with. You're very talented! Keep it up
@@JamiePopple Don't forget the infamous "I could be filming only fans right now"
Since Alec is moving workshop again I think it would be nice if he made a key out of Damascus as a way of commemorating it.
again?? damn dude i cant imagine hauling all those tools again so soon after several moves!
is not moving just closing the US shop, he is staying in this one
@@mondriaa you’re right. I just forgot how to say it so I said moving
A custom key would be pretty neat, though i don't know if different materials would be problematic for the key (too hard/soft etc.).
Bigger issue is that you kinda don't want to go showing the key profile to your workshop full of valuable materials and tools on the internet, it's trivial to copy a key from a decent still image
So glad you guys started showing the slower work again I love see steel being drawn out lol
This episode with the music is just simply on point. It’s like watching a movie with a epic blacksmith sense but you actually know what you’re doing. Good job gents
Not sure if you still read these comments but I think it would be cool if you tried to recreate that sword they just found in Germany? 3000 years old and preserved!
oh ye i saw that
amazing patterning
That would be amazing
He's not really working with bronze tho, especially not cast, but thats a fun project
I absolutely agree. Would be cool to see him attempt something like that
I totally thought the same thing! I think it would bring people to his channel
For some reason, the music, noise and the repetitive movements of the hammer are so hypnotic! Every element was absolutely incredible! Please, do it again!
I think every time you should go for an integral handle that way you'll ultimately have barely enough material to make one without it :D
Power hammer Dyno Collab?!
I know "less yak yak more whack whack" is the line, but I really like seeing you explain what you're doing as you're doing it. Keep up the great work!
The blacksmith was the most important person in the village, because they made the tools for the rest of the village. so much fun to watch you get giddy about making tools, even after doing it so many other times.
I feel confident I have heard Mr Steels himself use that old machinist adage of "don't grind what you can cut", in a previous video. If not then there is an old machinist saying that goes *see previous sentence.
Jamie needs to teach filmmakers how to shoot a blacksmithing scene. He does better than anyone in Hollywood.
That dove tail worked better then I thought it would. I like it.
that power hammer is honestly hypnotising
Duke Leto: “Smile Gurney”
Gurney *_Alec_* after the 327th episode of making a Crysknife: “….I am smiling”
That must be Gurney Halleck's third cousin I assume?
welcome back Alec, nice to see you again.
I'm a fellow Blacksmith and I love the work and effort you put in.
Great to see this sort of work again on the channel! Back to some of the original content
But this is nothing like the original content...his channel use to be very minimally edited how-to type videos, showing a specific technique for how to do a specific shape, in almost real time
The MUSIC selection was 🤌🏽 more of this! 1:34
That "OW! My Face!" in the background was gold.
It's always nice to see you make new tooling for the things you build. I only have one question: have you not thought about a steel bar running through the back of the handle, through the wooden grip and into the bolster area? That would've been much easier to achieve and would be completely invisible, if done right.
I loved the kriss keyhole dagger. This is going to be epic. I enjoy watching you try something again years later 👌
Loved that you were able to make the esoteric custom cutting tool that you needed. And, damn, it really did look scary.
Honestly, I think one of the coolest things about blacksmithing and metalwork is the moment of "Damn, I need a tool for this that I don't have... Oh right, I can just make one"
This is Jamie's video, alec is just living in it.
The slow blade penetrates the shield. Never forget.
That Kris dagger keyhole integral handle is my favourite, it’s just so cool with the Damascus and the facets. A full sword with a handle like that would be awesome!
I really like the idea of the wood insert, but I just hope it stays squarely put even with use
I`ts so cool to see you make tools and do machinery, keep on the good work Alec🙂
Would love to see some more mechanical builds. Old Churches always have a wealth of artistic metalwork, Hinges, locks, chandeliers, weather vanes, sundials, iron maidens. Love the channel but Knives might not be the best project to inspire a younger audience with a desire to make something more permanent than 3d printing. Treasure chests, steam-punk and escape room type parafinalia?. Maybe something for the house. A curved iron banded door for the folley tower. Hanging basket brackets. . Used a dovetail cutter today on two 10mm bar tops and the mill chattered with it on centre but moved the edge of the cut level with the cutter edge diameter . it cut more smoothly with longer shallower cuts.
you know its a good day when Jamie suprises alec with a random fact
Jamie with the "i could be filming only fans girls right now" had me 😆😆🤣🤣
I can appreciate all the other content you do, but knife making is the reason I started watching your channel and its still the most enjoyable to watch.
Keep it going strong! Awesome project!
I love watching you overcome challenges and making tools. My all-time favourite series was the viking Sword when you taught yourself to inlay gold. Keep up the good work!
I love when u make your own tools to make stuff or repair your machinery
Ooo that sharp corner .. you're summoning the Stress Fracture demons.
I think making a set of Damascus 1-2-3 blocks would be a great project to test yourself on the mill
A cutter construction that Evan “This old Tony” would appreciate! 😁
@AlecSteel please make a Damascus fishing reel.
I'm sooooo glad Jamie mentioned the correct pronunciation. I feel like he saw my comment. Thanks Jamie!
Now you can use that fly cutter to make the matching handle material! Nicely done.
Glad you are including more power hammer work. I love to watch that thing work and i don't know why.
Dune and Alec.... my two favourite things. Thanks Alec!
Very entertaining! Much love from Australia cheers
Great vid! A Damascus billhook would be awesome!
Thank you Jamie for acknowledging the blade was made out of a tooth 👍🏼🔥
Watching the thermal is the way to go to see if the steels welded. Thermal energy treats objects very discretely when's there is air between as radiating heat has an extreme drop-off when passing through, well, air.
Jamie's comment on what he could be filming makes me feel like maybe he does in his spare time.... lol
I LOVE THAT T-SHIRT!!!
What would Alec do without Jamie's simple ideas and fixes?
I'm trying do develop a forging style with minimal grinding, so my knives and other finished projects look hand forged, with black scale and and hammer marks, rather than looking industrially manufactured. I hope I can get some buyers on board with that artistic choice
It was really awesome to see good old Alec after so long 🙌
damn that editing is best on YT
Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
you should be able to use the first cutter you made to make an exact negative in a peace of steel to then cut the wood to the perfect size and angle
Anyone remember "Blue" Dykem... Alec loved it so much, he used to sing songs about it... 😆... now he only uses red... 🤔
I loved the discussion around grinding. 😂😂 You guys have a terrific rapport.
I'm sitting here in Norfolk, VA USA, and I need one of those Norfolk t-shirts you're wearing.
Also, I know things are tight, so you should definitely do a Patreon. I would definitely support your work.
10:32 THANK YOU JAMIE!!!!
Oh I am hyped for this handle
Yeeeess!!! Omfg love your work and this is BEAUTIFULLY done!!
Amazing I could watch for hours. Thanks again for sharing your amazing talent! KANSAS USA
Loving the soundtrack!
Any chance you could try making Wootz steel? It would be a cool process to watch you struggle (or succeed) with!
And of course we’d need a strength test and a sword… 😁 pretty please?
15:13-🎵Dove tail🎵One-half of the dovetail!🎵Dovetail!🎵
Jamie always makes sense
Always amazing watching you create something, its just mesmerising. Rings of power show had some cool looking stuff you could recreate? Keep up the great work 😎
I like your dog friend hanging out in the shop! **How do you protect his feet from all the metal shards and scraps?** It seems a bit dangerous for the pup. Thanks!
Alec back to what we wanna watch again! Let's Go!
Alec I dare you to make a sword without any power tools
remember when he used to forge on the anvil?
Alec: I'll be making a crysknife from Dune!
Also Alec: I don't want it to look like the crysknife from Dune!
the music is on spot 👍
Thanks for the video Alec. 😁👍
Nice cliffhanger...😎👍
Project Idea: make a working Damascus Maglite.
Great music, Jaimie 🎶 ❤
Hè alec, might be cool to try and make a Urumi sword. A flexible whip like sword used in Indian martail arts.
In Russia We have a some saying's "Старание и труд все перетрут", on English it's looked like "Little strokes fell great oaks or Diligence is the mother of success or "Oh, just plain old-fashioned hard work :)"". You are Super Man, but hard work doing your self! Good Luck! Sorry :)
Kinda miss one day builds, especially that one day sword build. Ridiculously sexy with its rough design. Would have loved to seen them go into a sort of production. Even at 5 or 10 a month they would sell like hotcakes.
Smart work
I’m a simple man. I see Alec Steele video. I click like.
great video as usual!
as noted by Jamie the Krys of Dune is supposed to be one of the teeth of a Dune Worm (thus organic)
so for V2.0 why not try the Damascus style: shark tooth ??? (it's very complicated to do well but as it's supposed to be a tooth...)
or
a simple "san mai" with very dark sides and a very shiny center (therefore the blade)
the shining blade seeming to "emerge", organically, (just past the hilt) from the dark remnant of the Krys
This is the kinda stuff we like to see as well! Great vid!
Have you ever considered weighing your workpiece between significant operations to get an appreciation of the volume of material removed, simply for example in forge scale.
I know it’s highly variable but it mat offer another insight for future projects.
If you made the 1080 scales with a 45 degree bevel at the hilt it would almost eliminate the cold shut risk at the hilt.
Need a tool? Make a tool!
Great work! Looks fantastic!
I don't know if you still do the thing where you look at videos from movies etc to review their blacksmithing technique but I was recently introduced to wind rose and their song Diggy Diggy Hole, there is blacksmithing there and it appears pretty good. No idea what they are making but I don't think that's the point in the video.
If you were tasked to make an original knife for a movie that had to be made from Damascus with copper in it, what would you make?
Love the dovetail handle idea...why do it that way instead of making something that mimics a dovetail router bit, or putting the blade ar an angle & make a specialized v-bit?
Alex have you ever thought of picking up all the expensive metal grindings and making a knife from it?
love the Kris dagger series :)
i miss the time he was makng some DOISE ;w;
and FANTASTIC TO SEE us here !
BUT DAMN the builds are better everytime
When are you going to make a Damascus Leatherman?
Make the handle out of some sort of dark gemstone!
Wow, incredible 😮.
Have you ever considered some safety glasses for your Labrador 😂
He should make a really fancy Bowie next. Just seems like a cool idea, a break from the normal stuff you know.
Alec just made a modest 5 part series into a 732 episode long project by grinding that half of a dove tail
Almost becoming unwatchable because of how little content is actually there to watch. Like you said. 30 short episodes where 4-5 longer ones would do.
Exactly, no one wants to wait 4 weeks for another damn dovetail to be cut
Try 17
You should make a matching set of Chinese butterfly swords with a scabbard
It would be cool to see you on forged in fire
Fabed fly cutter 👍👍
