Alec Steele Blacksmith 2022 - บันเทิง
Now that you're back in Montana for awhile I hope we get a couple more Steele VS Stelter vids, maybe one on each of your channels? Those were always fun to watch
Definitely, great series, I suggest a chain. Would be interested to see how they'd make something so simple yet complex
Steele vs stelter vs sam
This time: brick laying
yeah except Will is so much better than Alec that wouldn't be much of a contest.
Agree to this 100%
I didn't expect to get this happy seeing you and Will get together again, if only for a little while! You should outsource some more hand sanding to him in the near future, I'm sure he'll love it!
I do miss their dynamic
I was just thinking how good it was to see them on camera together again after so long!
I was gonna say it's heart warming😂😂
Will is the best
Lol, Will’s soul shearing “NOOOOO!” always brings back memories.
I have been watching you since you were in that tin-can shed across the pond. You have worked very hard and I love your attitude.
Very nice of you to visit your former coworker and friend Will on camera. This will definitely help Will's channel to keep growing.
Those live streams were fun
Same Ive been watching since that dirt floor tin can shed haha. Hes came such a long way and what an inspiration. He is the sole reason I took up knife making and now run my own business forging knives all day. There's a lot of amazing blacksmiths out there but Alec has that rare gift that sets him so far apart from the pack.
Been following Will since it was time for him to leave the shop. Always has great material on his channel.
Love hearing you guys are gonna reunite the band for a project. Looking forward to it.
I love it when you guys do two man forging operations. There’s just something about it that makes you feel good about seeing something done by a team that couldn’t be accomplished alone
When you are getting a better workshop tour of Will's place on Alec's channel than on Will's own channel 🤣🤣🤣
So great to see Will! Really loved that era of collaboration.
you should subscribe to his channel.
hay alec i just want to thank you in being the one who got me into bladesmithing. its been a struggle over the years and people telling me I cant do it (btw I'm 13) but im now making knives and selling them. so again i thank you .
Glad to see you back in the US, Alec. You've come a long way since you first coined the term "doise" in a video for the loud and annoying production of dust. As you wore your Darth Vader helmet and walked into your grinding room.
Glad to have been honored to watch part of that travel.
Real bittersweet seeing you and Will together. Reminds me of all the energy back when you just moved to Montana!
😲cheeky Alec... I was waiting for Will to post the finished journeyman knives but really good to see you guys together...
It’s so cool that you’re uploading a bunch again :) if you ever have time for another project or series of videos I would love to see you try and make your own switchblade entirely from scratch.
Awesome to see Will again :)
He’d have to do it while in Montana.
@@juttley I thought so too, I’m not sure how long he’s there but I figured I’d comment and maybe he would consider it :)
Will does have a channel...
@@robfenwitch7403 i think he’ll be busy with his journeyman qualification for the next while for sure.
It's great to see you re-connect with Will back in the states and Jaime back in the UK when you bounce back and forth. Hopefully, one day you and Sam Fowler the farrier can bury the hatchet and do a reconnect to bring this bring back full circle.
They kind of did bury the hatchet, when Alec 1st moved to the US Sam came over to his workshop in England and Alec had him in a video he also gave him some tools and materials
Conversational "Ow, that's hot." LOVE your sense of humor and timing, Alec! If you ever get the chance to come to Bellingham, WA, PLEASE come here and visit Hardwoods To Get. 😊
Good to see Will again, those knives he turned out were beautiful. He has a great personality and his skill is growing by leaps and bounds. Good on ya mate!
Aww. I missed the Steele & Stelter Show. You were great on your own, of course, but you have such great on-screen chemistry.
it was nice seeing you and will together, I have been watching his channel I do miss the two of you together the steltter vs steel episodes but I am glad you separated as we. get to see him and you both build.
Love the nod to Will when you talk about stainless foil. Acknowledging those who helped you grow, ultimately grows you further.
It was so cool to see will on the channel. sometimes when im bored i re-watch the steele vs stelter series, it always cracks me up they should do on including sam while alecs there.
Saw Will today at bladeshow. He was indeed a happy man.
Will is something else. His attention to detail on his knives is just incredible.
Watching this got me thinking… I’d love to see a comparison of making this with the power hammer vs with a human powered hammer. How much longer would it take? Can you still be as precise and make something as perfect?
The end result would be the same, but the method and starting billet would be different. You for sure would not want to start with such a large billet. Start with a flat bar about the size he uses for a knife, upset one end to fatten it up, hot cut on one side of the upset so you can isolate the claw then flatten out the cut with the claw pointing off to the side and the head starts to protrude on the other. Then you start hammering out the handle and you are at the same stage he left the video on but with less steel to work going forward.
This might not be exactly what youre looking for, but he has a series of videos where he makes a knife without using any power tools and the way he has to change his technique is really interesting to watch.
I dont think its humanly possible to make complicated damascus like this without a powerhammer or like three apprentices hitting the metal for you, it takes way too long and the metal powder would oxidize before you finish consolidating the steel properly
@@bjornthorgudmundsson2781 They've been forging damascus steel for atleast a thousand years..
@@Davey768 theres a very big difference between forge welding two pieces of steel like a san mai and forging out of powdered steel
The more surface area you have to work together into a single whole the faster you have to work before oxidation ruins your weld and powdered steel is nothing but surface area
Looks like a storm went through Will's shop, but it's a good storm. Those knives look (as Alec put it) scrumptious.
Good to see Alec and Will together again! Now finish that hammer!
I am really routing for will and truly hope he will obtain the journeyman… May the forge be with him
It brings a smile to my face every time they show the clip of Will dumping that power hammer.
Great that you are back in montana. It gives the whole thing a new vibe. looking forward to your new "will and alec" project(s).
I remember when it all started and it doesn't seem that long ago, when a very young man was hammering away in a very modest shop with a leaky roof. Such an impressive journey.
That stainless foil trick is pretty cool
So nice to see you back working in Montana. I hope you’ll stay several months there and forge some epic knives, swords,…. In my opinion, your best videos were the ones you made in Montana….
I agree, the Montana videos were the best.👍
Love seeing you and will together on screen the banter and connection is real. Miss him working on the channel but understand he wants to go his own way on builds. Cant wait to see you both collabing again
A lot of us have been following Will's journey since he left your shop. Fantastic to watch him gearing up for his Journeyman's test. It's something he SHOULD be able to do easily... we certainly know the quality of his work. My only concern is that he DID kinda rush those knives. I hope he didn't compromise anywhere. It will be really good to see you two doing some stuff together again.
Great to see Will! Glad you went to see him.
Will!!! I watch Alec and Will religiously, but it’s great to see both of you together again!!!
It's always a good day, any time you see Will !
Love your videos, any 25 episode series coming soon? Would love to see some sword making again😁
Now these episodes are refreshing to see. I missed seeing these random forging videos in Montana and you working with another Smith together.
Cant wait for a video of you and Will working on a project together again
You and Will together makes me happy
The project is great, but seeing you and will hangout again is the best!
You have to warn us before showing that tragic clip of wills hammer breaking!! I wasn’t prepared to cry today!
Great to see Will. Reminds me how long I've been watching your channel and how for a time he felt like such a new addition to your videos. You're really expanding your brand and sharing your experience and lifestyle expertise as well as learning from and utilizing the connections you make with the cool folks you incorporate. Much love 💪⚒️
Love seeing you and Will together again even just for one episode. I've been watching Will's channel since he started it and it was cool to watch him finally get to show you his progress.
Loved seeing you two boys back together!!!
Great to see you and Will back in the same screen.
Looking forward to your colab.
Great to see you and Will together again. Glad to see his Journeyman set came together looking so nice.
8:50 I would absolutely scream my off in excitement if my husband bought me kitchen knives that looked that beautiful! omg! Dang good work! So impressed!
Great to see you and Will together again. Can't wait to see a colab.
It is great watching Master Craftsmen at work.
Something about seeing you and Will together brings me much joy!
So good to see you and Will together again. Looking forward to some colab projects 👍
So good to see you back in the states and hang with Will!
good to see you and Will hanging out.
Love that you're back in Montana! It's fun to see more people in the videos. Love seeing Will again too.
Latest vids with more workshop have been great. Good to see Will too!
As a framer/carpenter, I'd love to have a framing hammer made by you.
Man... it made me so happy to see you two together. I'm so glad you and Will have kept your friendship. I hope to see you guys duel again soon. I watch both of you guys and really enjoy both your channels
Glad to see some more current videos!! Been having to dig through the older ones to get that forging fix haha
Hey Will , For the amount of work you did in your shop to produce those beautiful knives. 😳 Just remember you can't get something clean if you don't get something else dirty.Back in the 20th century the old saying was
( A cluttered desk is a sign of genius ) 🖤🔥🖤
Will we ever see a final video on the electronic forge doors and the series that went with it? 🤔
Nice to see Will Stelter making an appearance. Love the hammer plug hammer idea.
Absolutely love the channel and better yet, I love seeing your support of other "TH-camrs" channels by using their products in your shop. The Fireball Tool metal squares are essential for any fab business. Thank you for making awesome videos and can't wait for the next!
Will doesn't even work for Alec anymore but he still advertises for him. That's a good friend
Great to see you guys back together, you’ve both come such a long way from when I first started watching your vids.
The dynamic duo is back!
I know it's a small thing, but it's really great seeing you forge back in the MT shop and to see you with Will again. Good stuff!
I had one of the Estwing hammers years ago, and gave it away. Wood handles only, and yes, it makes a huge difference on impact loads to your hand, wrist, and forearm if you use it a lot. Same with your forging hammers...
It was so nice to see you and Will back together for a little while. I would love if you guys could do another collaboration or a Stelter vs Steele video. You guys are THE BEST!
That behemoth power hammer is pretty intimidating tbh
Love you Alec. Been watching for years. But it's just not the same as having the Will/Alec synergy on every video.
Man it was good seeing you and will together again!
Good to see Alec and Will together again. I've been watching both channels since they split and neither has really made anything on par with the works they created together since the split. They were such a great team. Hoping they partner up some time now that Alec is out of lockdown.
Great to see Alec and will again, can’t wait for the colab guys
I’ve wondered when you’re going to visit Will now that youre back in Montana and now its finally here!! This was awesome and got me a little teary eyed. I miss seeing you guys together on camera. ♥️ Good luck to Will on his journeyman test!
he passed!
will has that universal look of someone who just went through a fuckin ringer and is satisfied with the results. congrats on becoming officially recognized will! it’s well deserved!
Well I was going to give you a thumbs up, mostly because Wil was on, but then you showed the scene that makes me cry, you know what you did! :)
Enjoyed seeing you and Will together again. So much hope he gets his Journeyman designation. Life is good especially for hardworking kind individuals.
he just posted on Instagram that he passed so he is now a journeyman bladesmith
Sam is going to be glad that Alex is back
Need this duo back…
So good to see you and Will together again. I am a fan of both.
Oh Will! So nice to see you both back together again! Steele vs Stelter vs Sam???
"Nicely done! AGHHHAHHA!!"
Happy to see Will over here. Of course I follow his channel too, but I miss you two together 😁 I was worried there was a falling out.
Hey Alec. After years of watching your videos my wife got me a knife forging class for us to do together. Was with Jaime Lundell from 1st season of Forged in Fire. Ended up with a solid chef-ish knife and a lot more respect for the skills. Had fun doing the wack wack!
So good to see you visit Will!
Really great to see Will again. I couldn't help but smile all the way through his section! Miss that guy, you two should do some work together again while you're that side of the pond.
Hammer Hammering a Hammer to Hammer a Hammer 6:00
Wow, Will's chef's knife is beautiful.
Great to see the two of you together again. Looking forward to the next video.
i love watching and seeing how comfortable Will is in front of the camera compared to when he started with Alec. happy to see this duo back in the same video
Ah, it was super nice seeing Will again in your video!
Damn it's nice to see you two in the same video again 🔥
Really liked this one. I like the molding of metal and then you forging it into something.
This is like making a doughnut out of doughnut holes...I love it.
Love to see the Steele Stelter dynamic again! I'm looking forward to the next build together. Maybe even another Steele vs Stelter 🤔
Great to see you and Will together. My two favorite
You guys work extremely well together awesome team!! I dig your enthusiasm one reason I subscribed.. Great stuff!!!!
Ethan makes beautiful hammers, I had an opportunity to make one with him in January and it was an incredibly educational experience.
So happy to see Will makes a guest appearance. I can't wait to see how the hammer turns out.
So exciting to see you and Will together again. What great friends
