Alec Steele Blacksmith 2017
Norwich, UK
I think the most likely reason for the dull etch was that Sam didn't heat treat the shoe before! Hardening seems to reveal more contrast. A higher grit/cleaner polish before the etch and after wouldn't be bad either! I really liked the choice and editing of music!
Alec Steele where have you been?
Alec Steele Sam: Please make one more. And I like the sound of the hammer while forging :-)
I kinda like it though, more of a wood like texture to it, which really works for this particular project.
I tend to think that'd be big part of it as well. Hardening changes the chemical arrangement of the grains - free carbides vs. all the other phases with all the other names - I'm willing to bet there's some undercutting of grain boundaries and some grain size related effects to the finish when etched.
Come to think of it, I better get my Motlery together before I start sounding like an armchair quarterback!
Sam's stuff has been a nice interlude (totally jealous of the truck btw)- think you'll keep up with a mix when you're back on the right side of the pond?
Alec Steele Could it be used on a horse 🐴 or is it just for decoration?
I can see the horse that get this shoe will be hopping around on three legs holding this shoe up telling all the horses "See Sam likes me best, I'll never step on this shoe ever" Great job Sam.
Sam Fowler See if you weren't so famous the horses wouldn't feel the need to take the shoes off the other horses, your kindof like the Air Jordans of horse shoes. The horses you dont shod are feeling left out.
Sam, in a very short time your videos are very good. The music was great and you are getting more comfortable being the star of the show:-). Your a good friend to keep up the content while Alec is off teaching.
Hello Sam, first great job on the shoe, it looks great. I'm in love with the music you used in this video. Especially the one that start at 6.45. I couldn't figure out the title of the piano part though. I would love to be able to play it ! Would you be able to tell me where to find it please?
Again thanks for the video and the great editing
Well done Sam, any horse would be proud to wear that shoe.
Brilliant Sam brilliant. Looked like moving to the heavier hammer was the right move. Fine job.
Another great video Sam, love the slag returning to the billet on the power hammer in the intro. I think Alec has some serious competition
Sam I love this. Grew up on my families dairy and had a few horses. Always loved watching the farrier work. Thanks for this, absolutely love it.
Well done Sam, over the last several of days watching, great seeing what you do. Keep up the good work.
great job Sam and thanks for still making videos while Alec is in Canada. helps motivate me to get out to the shop after working for the man all day.
Awesome work Sam. I also wanted to say thank you for keeping the videos coming. I look forward to watching you guys work. keep up the awesomeness. Both of you.
Nice job Sam. I really enjoy watching you and Alec work. keep the videos coming.
Incredible work Sam! That reverse shot of the Sparks was really cool & something I haven't personally seen before, I'm sure Alec is watching all of these with a massive smile and also a hint of envy haha!
Awesome job Sam! Beautiful shoe! You and Alec are really a blast to watch, doing so many projects and definitely making life much more interesting for so many of us Subscribers! Thanks a ton guys! Please keep it going, we really enjoy it!!
Amazing work Sam it turned out really nice !!!! You are very talented !!!!!!
Sam you are a rock star in the making! Great editing and fun to watch, keep it up.
Beautiful bit of camera work coming back over the anvil at the end there. The shoe looks fantastic.
SAM, you just managed to give me a whole new appreciation for the farrier.
Did you notice the Texas LongHorn in the pattern?
You're getting more comfortable in front of the camera. BRILLIANT
Love the almost Texas Longhorn at the crest of the shoe. You did great, Sam. Have a great day.
Before I never liked Damascus Steel and you inspired me to make more things out of it and I absolutely love it now
keep up the great work Sam!
Very Nice Work Sam! Alec I'll Be Looking Forward To See Another One Of Your Forge Videos!
Sam I think your shoe came out fine, anytime you try something different it takes practice this was the first Damascus shoe I have seen. Great Job.
Nice work Sam. That will be a stylish horse...
haha, just one for mechanic work but i changed the name.
Great work Sam!
sam its good to see you in more of these vids keep up the good work :]
Great job Sam! That shoe looks beautiful.
Sam, my man! Badass, I must say! If I ever get that way for a class, we should totally do beers!
Wonderfully done Sam! Great project + Great music = Fantastic Video! Keep it up.
Love the reversed shot! Your getting better. Very nice.
loved it sam.. you have progressed so much in a short time with the way you've handled your shots, love the reverse on the power hammer. the damascus was grand, it was nice to see it used in such a different setting/manner. i think you should really consider doing your own channel alongside alec. it would be great to see you two bounce off each other anx join forces in the editing etc.. kudos to you.
I liked the different kind of editing and commentary! You are awesome Sam!
well done sam, and exelent choices on editing. alec please keep him around and enjoy Canada
Nooo! Ma perfino il ferro da cavallo damascato! Siete incredibili Alec ! Buon pomeriggio mitico!
Love the reverse effect in the edit when you were on the power hammer
Great job, Sam! Keep up the good work.
That's a pretty cool piece of work. The other horses would be jealous! Keep up the vids Sam
Nice work Sam! You filled in very well!
Sam, if I may suggest, if you want the damascus to be a little more dramatic, let the etch get just deep enough so you can wrap some sandpaper on a block (I like to use hard leather glued to a flat bar) and shine up the high spots. That will make it really pop. You can do this with like 2000 grit. This will leave the low spots dark, and the high spots shiny.
Great job sam! You even got a bit of good old pilkington signature hair gel going on. 👍🏻⚒
First video I've seen with you in it, really enjoyed it.
Well done Sam, great video.
love this, all i can say is we need a bit more of sam. well done
I think Alec has a bit of competition!! Loving the videos as of late!!
Great job Sam
Very cool Sam. Nice to see you and your great work.
Damascus horse shoes are like a pair of Lobb oxfords!
SAM!!! Great work!
Excellent work Sam! Both with the video, and the shoe! Keep it bud.
It got 'REAL' when the 3.5lb'er came out! Nice shoe Sam.
absolutely lovely camera work.
the horseshoe looks amazing
Great job! I liked that you gave some instructions this go round. Really good tips.
Sam I gotta say this was great!
You need your own channel you rock! Make a Damascus railway spike then turn it into a knife lol
Excellent video, Sam.
Sam, do you have your own channel? I would watch your channel too if you had one. The horse shoeing and horse shoe making is really cool. Very watchable. You should consider making your own channel when Alec comes back. There can never be too much great content on youtube! :)
Nice job Sam. Keep up the great videos
Sam your are becoming a showman , love it , look out Alex !! haha
Amazing job Sam you’re a great farrier 😁👌
Great job sam! Keep up the fantastic work buddy!
Great job sam the videos are entertaining. The shoe turned out good. I`m with Alec, make another shoe. You`ll get better.
Great job Sam!
Nice job Sam, Great to see good shoe work..
Sam u need your own show dude
Getting really close to the 50k subs keep it up Alec
Sam, Another great video! Would be a set of 4 for the horse that has everything!
Your horse must be proud of its shoes.
smashing job Sam, looks great
This week on MTV's Pimp Thy Steed
dang Sam that looks amazing you should do some more
nailed it Sammy, that's one lucky stud to get that shoe.... hahahahaha. well done. looks epic bro
awesome Sam great vid
Great video Sam!
Really great, I also like your videos sam, you combine the Alec steel- style with the Chandler Dickinson - style in a very great way!
Horseshoe looks great.
Greetings from Germany, Edgar
Hello sam and Alec love the channel guys really nice to see a couple of brits bossing it on you tube! sam you said in an earlier comments the metal is to hard for using in most cases for shoes would there be a market for them in somthing like polo ponies/horses and like the ones you did with studs as they would be re used but would need changing after an event. lol sorry for the long comment guys. keep up the Awsom videos
Nice work man that thing is awesome
Nice work Sam, good content.
That would be one good luck shoe you should put that beat on the wall. Very nice.
Sam! Awesome job, how about your farriers Damascus knife?
Sam, that was a great episode well done! Heaps better this time round. and you seeked more relaxed too. really enjoyed it mate
Certainly did! Now we get to see the real sam :-)
Nice one! I actually quite like to keep my Damascus a little darker. Also you could use another solution for etching, I for instance use solvable coffee, the disgustingly cheap one where you have to think twice about actually drinking it. The etching takes a little longer, because the acid inside the coffee isn't as strong as sulfuric acid or ferro chlorid but I like the contrast more, it's also very easy to get rid of, because in the end it's still just regular old coffee with a little too steel ions in it.
The mixture I use is about 10 to 15 teaspoons per cup.
beautiful sam!!!! well done mate!
that is really cool! It's thick enough for a Belgian Draft Horse, and I think that just adds to it. Would look cool hanging on a wall
beautifully shot!
If judges coulds see that in competition,you would win ever time
great work sam!
Alex, really enjoying your Vids!
Your video editing and on-screen presence has dramatically improved over the last few videos, nicely done 🤘. (Heads up Alec, you might have some competition! 👍)
love it!! would be awesome to see one in a ladder Damascus. definitely shoes fit for a huge horse, like a Clydesdale or similar large draft type!
Nice work Sam
I kind of like how large it is; it makes it feel like it was made for a behemoth of a horse.
I like the editing sam !!! And of course the shoe ;)
great job sam!
liking the Sam videos keep them coming
Great Job Sam..!
loving it! just wish I had the skills
nice job on the videos thanks for your time and effort
Great work man
Awesome job Sam ! I bet a draft shoe out of damascus would be cool, i volunteer to strike for you haha
Great for horse shows
