It's really nice getting to see a video that's different than the usual knife. It really shows all the cool stuff blacksmiths can do
cant wait to see the end stage of the spurs
This is rapidly becoming my favorite channel
It has become my favorite channel! It's amazing what Alec can make and all of the positivity, creativity, and not being afraid of failure makes his videos truly unique and fun to watch. I don't think you need to be interested in blacksmith or knife making to enjoy his channel. The video quality is top notch in my opinion, you can tell that he is dedicated to making great products and videos!
Can't wait to see this one!!!
Alec, how about your next Damascus project be 1,000 layer Damascus billet!!!! No one has done it on TH-cam! Views GALORE 😂!!!!! Plus it is also how some Japanese knife makers made the Damascus back in the day!
Awesome project!! Those are gonna be mind blowing epicness!!!
Really awesome idea. Can't wait to see the finished product!
you never cease to amaze me young man. BRILLIANT
I don't think I'll ever get tried of seeing that beast of a power hammer move steel. Keep it up.
Would never have thought of making spurs out of Damascus. Just didn't occur to me. Regular mild steel or silver, yes, but not Damascus. I am sure in the next video, your finished spurs will be absolutely gorgeous. Have a great day. Looking forward to the next video.
Another great video! I look forward to them!
Guess what project just made the top of the list for my weekend? Gonna be fun.
Always great to see you turn out new projects!
+Chris Maxson Thank you Chris!
DAMASCUS SPURS!!! Really. Amazing! Weatherford Texas with eat them up. Cutting horse capital of the USA.
Blacksmithing and horses go hand in hand.
Those look like they are going to be the coolest spurs I've ever seen! Cheers from the US, love your channel.
+Ron Parrott Thank you Ron!
Great video, glad your excitement is contagious!
Alec Steele, the greatest youtuber know to man! Keep up the good work! Your enthusiasm is contagious, and it is a joy to watch your videos every day. :)
Alec, I haven't been this impressed by a young man in ages and I am a medical professor just to give you the scope of the comment. Likewise, I adore blacksmithing more than the art of medicine....well to that end I am an admin on many blacksmithing groups as well as have my own group, 'Modern Blacksmithing" and would be so very grateful to have your permission to post a link to your daily videos on my FB group page. I will be in Germany in a three weeks ...too bad I won't get the chance to stop by...well, perhaps another time.
+Charles Wright Thank you so much for the lovely message, Charles! It means a tremendous amount to hear this. I would be thrilled if you were to share my videos with your group 😀 have a safe trip in Germany!
Great work. This video has spurred me on to firing up my forge again
love the spurs Alec, keep up your great work
Cant wait to watch this one
You can't get enough of Texas!
Who ever is getting those spurs are very lucky
Fantastic Alec!
love the channel man hope I can be as good as u
Oooh this looks interesting!
awesome I never would have thought about that
great work as always! I'd love to see a canister weld damascus of all the steel turnings by your lathe
How about some Damascus dog tags or jewelry pieces??
Right on!
That's amazing might try it someday lol
Yeehaw! I will definetly be making a set of these! Great video!
Looking good
Alec, you may want to consider turning that small taper with your compound. look down at the base and there should be a degreed ring. The benefit of this would be so your tool bit can cut at the correct angle giving your a nicer finish. It is also easier turning one handle on the compound instead of two. looking forward to seeing the finished product! giddy up cowboy!
+Channel 67x when i first read this I was confused - I have now understood! My confusion was because I was trying to make a dome shape - but your explanation of using the compound to make a taper makes perfect sense!! My lathe is also equipped with a taper attachement should I ever need to do any serious tapering 😀
love your video's. i make bits and spurs part time and have been making some knives this winter. i have been wanting to make some damascus spurs based on "kelly bros" gal leg spurs. iam currently working on how to make damascus. still have a long way to go but slowly getting there. keep up the good work.
You do an amazing job at editing!
i NEED these!
This was worth looking at my phone at 12:10 am the day of midterms
Cameron Maccrae this is two years in the future so I’m guessing you took the exams by now so how did you do?
XD
interesting project, I sure these will look fantastic
+rehorst180 Thanks man!
What a project
very cool project!
Nice fun project
Can't wait to see the next episode, I like that you've branched out into other things aswell as all things weapon related lol
Your gonna kill us with more than one part?!?!?!
+Let's Dig It sorry dude - it's looking like it's going to be 3 parts ;)
Excellent!
You should be on that show forged and fired
Giddy up Alec.
Very nice.
Wow. Man that's mad!!! As someone who's used to the way you present and come over on camera now it's really really really strange watching you from 6 years ago. You've got a very similar personality in many ways but the modern you feels a lot more true to the "real" you. You're so much more relaxed and your happy to speak totally freestyle so to speak covering anything that comes to mind and you express yourself far better. Whilst you were perfectly clear back then in terms of what you meant and wanted to get over and even though you came across as fairly enthusiastic and "real" now you can tell your explanations are totally off the top of your head and everything feels more natural and comfortable. Now it's like watching a mate or at least someone you know or are working with. It's a brilliant style and works so well with the stuff you do.
Yee-haw!
Those are going to be great, don't think I'v ever seen Damascus spurs
+David Fauteaux Thank you David!
Alec you should should learn how to melt down all those shavings you make with the lathe and turn them back into steel might save you some money if it works
Love your stuff, man! The patterns you are able to create are pretty phenomenal. Is there any chance you could do a video where you forge weld your damascus on an anvil? It seems like most of the videos I see of folks who forge damascus use power hammers or presses to do it. Those of us who don't want to shell out several thousand dollars for those tools (and couldn't fit them in our work spaces even if we did) could benefit from seeing you do it the old fashioned way. Thanks!
Thank you Jonathan! :) The trick is to just use a smaller billet and scale it all down! :)
awesome
I was just thinking would it have helped to tack the spurs together so you'd bend them identical?
Love the channel, love the damascus spurs. You are a hell of a craftsman. One problem, though. Being a native Texan, I can't help but point out that your Texas flag is backwards. The red stripe should be on the left when hanging vertically.
+thejohnnybob Thanks man! Massively appreciate the kind words! BUT! The Texas flag is in fact in the correct orientation - I made sure to google the correct orientation when I installed it 😉
This is good
60 second club!
Who is thumbs downing these vlogs!? Shame on them
Alec, have you hit your lathe chuck with you cutting tool yet?
For the Mosaic steel, have you ever considered chopping it up into Little round steel medallions?
hope I made it in a min. woow more Damascus
Hi everyone
looking good bud, cant wait to see the finished product. I am really trying to get into smithing but am having a tough time finding fiber blanket to build a gas forge. any suggestions where to look? I thought I had found a lead just before christmas at a pottery place in medicine hat alberta (I'm in saskatchewan) but when I got there everythng was locked up and it was posted as a heritage site. Other than that im looking at huge shipping expences and minimum quantities.
60 sec baby!
60 sec club!!
Your skills are really good but can you make them with only hand tools
of course. Just requires a bit more effort.
hey question for you, how big was the pipe jig for the bend? thanks
A damascus horseshoe would look really nice on your wall
+n00bje great idea!
Any chance of a forge use video? Recently gotten a propane forge and Im not 100% on when to open and close the air intake, when to increase pressure and so on. If there already are videos on this, im sorry, i must have overlooked them :)
Alec, just make the move to Texas already.
how wide was the bend of your jig? thanks
Giddy up
I love the work you do and your vids, but i really enjoy the music you use, where the hell do you find it?
hey! alec
60 second club
hey Alec hope you are having a amazing day, may you please respond to my comment on your last void regarding steel thickness
would spurs fit on converse, and if so how much do they cost on average
knucklehead on average it costs your social life, self confidence, and mental well being. other than that pretty cheap.
60 seconds!!!
Are the rowls Damascus also?
Ian Stradian It had raw edges before turning, so i think it's damascus too
Hey how you doing Alec
60 club
Hey alec
Where do you buy your steel ?? specially your 15n20
+Joe the Builder highgradesteel !!!
Alec Steele
Okay Thanks ( love your videos)
Spurs??? OK and you want them why ? Sam going to teach you cowboy horse riding 😂
by the way those are pimp! and how big was your billet? thank you sir
Thanks for making my poop more enjoyable!
+tecnui that's my aim!
Pooping alone is amazing.
I'm early!
You're either up early or staying up WAY late. Love the vid though.
Dude, how much sleep do you get?
no joke.
R N. not enough I'd bet 😊
R N. Probably gets a good 20-30 minutes a day. Should be lots to keep up this pace.
I remember being young. Work all day, play all night. Good times
Is the 60 second thing still a thing
Living Wood Creations -wood turning videos- i think alec is trying to catch up with things in the forge before he runs it again?
Bald Devil thats what I thought
MWAHAHAH EARLY AGAIN!
Alec, what's the story on the Texas flag? Not something one expects to see in a Brit's blacksmith forge.
shookings Not 100% sure what class he was a part of in Texas(young Smiths 2014?). He loves Texas and the people of Texas, that's for sure. Again don't quote me on that.
👊🏻first.
flip your Texas Flag around please
An Englishman making cowboy spurs out of damascus steel to dubstep music.. Okay!
