My name is Alec Steele and I am a 22 year old blacksmith from England, now living in Montana in the USA! With a great team of hardworking folks, we upload videos showcasing the projects we get up to here at the workshop. Lots of sparks, lots of making, lots of fantastic-ness. Great to have you here following along!

Alec Steele Blacksmith 2020 - บันเทิง
Aren't all shoes steel toes when you have them on?
underrated comment 😂
“Steele Toes”
Alectoes intolerant?
@@greghelms4458 that’s just not even funny, but i still laughed, but not funny, but i still laughed
@@mattwood9613 lol. And I wasn’t even drinking.
He's back! I needed this today!
I can truly say iv been also missing me some Alex Steel show !!
Same ❤️ very inspirational.
You Nd me both. I love Alec but definitely will miss will.
Yep.
He is also back to metric! 😊
Alec, holding a broom sideways, wanting to sweep the floor in the other room: "nope, won't fit through the door"
This is like the vacuum chamber all over again, if he's not sitting down in Planning Mode his brain just switches off 😆
Yeah Alec just tilt it! 😂
How many people were as triggered as I was when he didn't even try to get the three-legged stand through the door before modifying it? I bet it would have gone through EASILY. 😅
Yeah, I used to assemble and deliver couches and recliners, and those arent small enough to "just fit" through a door. But you have ways to do it like rotate it as you go in. I was totally thinking that he had plenty of enough room to rotate that stand through the door. With wheels, it would have been even easier. kids these days just don't take the time to venture into the possibilities.
@@Robster-Craw I'm guessing Alec had already been planning ahead and fully intended to install the retractable wheel thingamajig - which means he probably wanted to be able to wheel the stand in and out of the grinding room without too much hassle in the future.
Me to just turn it around the corner.
@@yehudahardoon3567 Alec could have stated that a bit more clearly.
@@yehudahardoon3567 But you still don't need to wheel it in by having one of the triangle's sides paralell do the door. And Alec demonstrates exactly that at 8:13, and it's plenty of space to spare to the door frame. But I guess it was good he narrowed the wheel base / footprint, because he has a bunch of crap behind the door so it can't open up fully... 🤣
You could have twisted those first legs through the grinding room door sir. Sideways.
I was yelling that at the time. I guess Alec couldn't hear me over the grinder.
@@AndyFromBeaverton same i was thinking aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
yeah i was scrolling down to just type this comment, glad others thought of it as well!
so glad it wasn't just me
He wanted wheels and a vice attached to it.
It's great to see that after only a short time back in the UK Alec is back to using proper units of measurement. 😂
How ever you measure, that is the proper way. Metric isn't superior, its just all you know.
@@KipdoesStuff metric is far superior. Once you go metric you never go back
@@KipdoesStuff Imperial is based on metric nowadays lol. If your using imperial, your just adding an extra step and possible inaccuracies the more you go on.
@@KipdoesStuff lol
“You can only imagine how i felt when they only had red dicam”
*camera cuts to Will, looking up, puzzled, as if sensing a disturbance in the force*
Missed opportunity 😒
Alec: "I did make it when i was 13"
me: *stands up to get more snacks
That coffe is from my home state! Hello, from Minas Gerais, Brasil!
There is something just so satisfying about seeing a bit of a return to the older style Alec Steele. I didn't realize how much I missed it.
"MODULAR DIES!"
Poor modular, R.I.P...
R.I.P MO 😔😁👍
New level unlocked! +2 dad joke power!
@@myrealname2022 I was going to say that's a good dad joke in this time of social distancing... Certainly as close as I could get
Why do I like videos with just Alec working alone ?
Daily Steele series please come back. Miss those days. Lots of work but was very enjoyable.
Best thing about Alec being back in England is he is talking in measurements that actually make sense 🥰
Only if your brain functions in multiples of tens and are incapable of processing the very reasonable method of indexing off of the various bits of the bodies of long dead kings! :P
@@marka4891 you know what I agree. Let’s Bring back cubits and spans
@@Wang-ker Exactly! Who needs standardization when you can use rough estimates that are different for everyone!
Am I the only one that noticed the Captain America hex nut shield ?
I saw it too.
Nope.
Im at work, as a machinist, watching Alec machine a machine. Oddly satisfying.
First thought: RIP Modular...
I didn’t need to be told Jamie was back to know Jamie was back that camera work is amazing!
Where is my "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the workshop it's fantastic to have you here !" ?????
Is it just me or are y'all falling back in love with the cannel with these last videos?? Love the vibe of the videos back in britain with a smaller crew.
It feels more like a family and like we're forgeing with a friend. Keep it up Alex!!!
Glad to see you back home in the UK 🇬🇧 I’m sure your content has been shining brighter
I just did a leg vice restoration this is perfect timing! always thoroughly enjoy the content.
best, Nathan
Brilliant job on the "Lift and Shift" trolley. Great vlog, thanks for sharing.
I keep waiting for someone to pour red dykem in his blue dykem to make it purple dykem just to see his reaction.
This reminds me a lot of old school Alec Steele. Loving these new videos Alec. Awesome work.
Dude that little tension rod on the wheel rig is genius!
Thanks for dogging us in and showing us your new holes! Red Dykem Rocks!
Cool fact about your coffee, Pau Brasil is a tree that grows in a big part of the Brazilian coast and it's the reason why the country is called Brazil, it has a red wood which is nice for knife handles
Coming from Malaysia, watching you switching back and fourth between metric and imperial is entertaining as I tend to use either for convenience!
Glad to see you back at work! Those are still some large dies.
Hey Alec, thank you for your generosity! Love the channel. From The Buckin Army! 👏🏻👏🏻
I always love your videos alec. They make my day better and it's really amazing to watch how and what you can make.
As a dog trainer, I love your pup hanging out on a place command in the shop ☺️
The production of this videos is insane
Great timing on this... I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to do something exactly similar. You just solved it for me. Thanks!
Man I needed this video, your zest for life is contagious Alec! Big love man
Good to see you back at it.
No matter how long I watch welding happen I still close my eyes when the welding starts
closing you eyes won't help. You can still do damage through your eye lids, lol.
And I’ll get a nasty sun burn from the camera lol
whenever Alec posts a new video I'm like YES he posted
I love this guy.
Great Ooouuuuuhh at 1:46 when more little parts fall out of the power hammer. Looking forward to the DRO install.
Loving this new workshop series
Great too see you back Alec been missing your content
That mag drill with those drills is just incredible to watch going straight through that plate!
How the heck is there dislikes on this?! Who has time to just go dislike everyone's videos?! Alec you do a great job on your videos!
When TH-cam puts and ad before the video then aAex adds another ad, that will get him a downvote.
yes Alec, I've been waiting for AGES!!!!
Can't wait to see him to turn the steel he cut off those dies into a sword...
this is perfect i just got out of class so i can now cool down and do some homework with Alec
I do enjoy these simpler and slower pace videos :)
Presentation and videography are on point as always, keep up the great content. Thank you
Released on a day of national mourning. Love this channel.
as always, entertaining, informative and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Alec, just a few days ago, I made my first “leaf.” I used a piece of rebar and turned out terrible. But thanks for getting me into blacksmithing. :)
What fun it is to tag along with your random shenanigans good sir
nothing more I love than an alec steele video, my favourite TH-camr 😀😀😀
Adding a doggo to the channel just made the videos better than I could have imagined
Machinists have been making properly spaced holes without DRO for long time BUT when the bag of gold drops I’m putting a DRO on my little lathe, big lathe, milling machine and the laser, drill press, and coffee machine and everything else that moves because they are so nice to have.
nothing beats the massive increase in productivity with a DRO.
I’m learning how to use a Bridgeport. It’s really cool and I like to watch you work with mills to see what you know about them
For your face mill i suggest using copper slip.on the torque heads so when the fave mill gets hot it completely knacker the screws
You are such a perfectionist! I’m amazed at what you build.
Really nice work Alex. As always to be true. Be safe
Love these shop videos Alec!!
Thats awesome that u watch jimmy diresta your videos and his videos and his videos are why i have a propane forge a grinder belt sander welder and many other tools iv gained over the past few years and i love it
Awesome video. Turned out very unique and awesome. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Forge On and Fab on God Bless
Good idea for the wheels and legs. Simplest design usually works the best.
SAlut de France. Je suis vos vidéos c'est vraiment ma passion la forge. Continu comme ça.
My ears are pleased listening to the Sound of metric measurments
Liked this because you've gone back to your why and how were doing something video's.
Then at the end you show ++ We get to see Yogo, on her own camp style bed to keep her off the cold floor.
This is gonna help me with my match today. Keep it man. You make me wanna wake up.
Does Alec seem more relaxed? He seems more relaxed to me.
what would be cool would be the base of the stand being a plentum with many small holes drilled in the floor side of it. Then you have an air source pressurize the plentum and the vise floats on a cushion of air to where you push it. You could move a power hammer that way. Just a neat, elegant, "non moving part" way of doing it.
You never cease to amaze me, Alec
9:32 "One important step we shouldn't miss..." **Yogo casually walks by**
You might want to go find the piece you cut off the top of that die, drill matching holes in it, and use it as a template for all future die heads you make for it, to ensure proper peg spacing.
Fantastic progress
Wow, those chop saws really put in the work. Not much better of an advertisement for a tool than that.
So glad for new content
It may be a little thing, but it's so good to hear you speak in metric again!
Excellent video - keep them coming Alec
Who's in Montana shop now that Will's moved and Alec's back in the UK?
The other two or three members of staff, I'd assume.
Alec's US employees kept on working, I'm assuming.
Cameraman, production smith, who knows how many others.
@@FlinnGaidin Donald Trump needs a new job, he might apply to run the workshop ;-) Mike Pence could be his production smith lol.
@@Moondog-wc4vm not sure how well they'd fit in with the younger people that work at the Alec Steele Co. 🤔
@@FlinnGaidin Alec would crack the whip and make them behave! Even DT would cave when he sees how many swords Alec owns lol.
Love seeing your face and projects Alec!
Been looking everyday for another thats my night sorted 👌
Great show Alec!
I've been waiting, welcome back!
Love watching your content and we know you have a lot of work to do on the new shop but I miss seeing actual smithing content.
Your fabrication skills have really improved drastically over the last couple years.
Finally, the video we needed!
Hey Alec, great video, as always. You should consider buying a portable hardness tester! They're fairly simple to operate and you would get much more precise hardness readings.
That is so funny. You are in England and had Nick’s boots sent to you. I pass it every day on the way home from work. It is about 2 miles from my house in Spokane Valley.
Can't wait to see you do some sword or am axe soon. With all your awesome new tools it looks like it will be very entertaining as always.
Looking great bud ! Keep them coming bro! ✌️🔥🙏💪
You should build a steel tensegrity table. Super cool and eye catching designs. Just look them up and see for yourself
The last minute was the pearl.
More content, miss you and the work, keep up the good work - nice looking stand
6:57 what a mood
Hey Alec , I don’t know if you have ever tried Ecuadorian coffee, but if you ever get the opportunity make sure you try it. The flavor is incredible and it’s strong. Thanks for all awesome content over the years, I’m now looking into getting more involved is this awesome trade.
In love with your coffee pot
Looking great so far Alec! 👍😁
I miss your regular posting Alec , I do understand you need down time , just got spoiled all those years if multiple posts a week ! Take care , keep posting !
I have been watching you again since you came back to UK.
Filled a £50 pillar drill column with rebar and concrete, the table has a jack screw and its very solid.
