Alec Steele Blacksmith 2020 - บันเทิง
I feel like this channel is just documenting all of Alec's stages of grief, after his break up with will
I can’t wait to see Part #73
who's will?
We always knew he was going to get Sam Fowler'ed at some point ;)
@@feger481 bruh
Sad reacts only
There is one Will Stelter in Montana, who laughing maniacally at faraway Alec, struggling with handsanding and gard fitting. Because he doesn't have to do it.
Too bad we will never know if he is laughing at Alec’s misfortune until Will posts something new on his channel!
Will left to get called to help and reemployed with a 400% raise XD
@@a-aron2379 He streams very ofthen on his Instagram page!
I feel like there is another "back to basics" series around the corner after all this enlightening fun with files, sanding and guard fitting
Hopefully
Yep. Back to good 'ole red-hot metal ready to get steam-hammered and quenched and tempered and all the works... And maybe he's a bit too lonely and isolated on Albion, isn't he?
His content has become a lot less hot metal being bashed into shape related and more about him just filing stuff, it’s not ideal
When you said "groovy, it was infact quite funny.
You could say he fin-angled that pun in there hook line and sinker
@@claouslive I sea what you did there, you monster.
I can confirm 😂
Indeed. And I'd give it a 10/10.
We now know Alec's stripper name. "I would like to introduce our feature perform tonight, GLITTER STEELE!"
No more Raid Shadow legends, only fans.
what if he made an OF but instead of anything sexual it was just spoilers for future projects
@@mcskittle4260 "I swear baby, that OF charge is only for youtube spoilers. I promise it's not for porn."
@@mcskittle4260 hello to all my little metal shavings, it's ya boi Glitter Steele, today only join my cast bronze tier for exclusive pin up shots of my alecsteeleco anvil and premium hammer and hardy hole clips
@@mcskittle4260 Yea just use as a patreon basically. I think thats a good idea.
3:00 Alec relating to everyone "a pro will be up here with there confidence" bends over and draws on the ground. "I'm actually down here, so I'm very unconfident..."
Quoth Leonardo DaVinci: you take a piece of marble, and remove all parts that aren’t an Angel.
I think you have the wrong Ninja Turtle. I believe that was a quote from Michelangelo but I could be wrong
I absolutely love that you have zero confidence but you're forging ahead anyway.
Just ten minutes ago I was thinking "an update on the seamonster would be cool" and this suddenly pops up, nice.
Alec: I hope we dot break it
Also Alec: *Violently Pulls Handle off Tang*
Lmao
GLITTER STEELE: Finely Bronzed and Grinding Away! That's the hero we need. 👍
I feel bad for the people in the 18 and 19th century who had to do this BY HAND! how?!
ps Keep up the good work Alec!
They probably used a tiny chisel or something
It's funny that Alec spent all that time learning how to use engraving chisels for the viking sword project and then plumb forget about them.
@@LunarEclipsism1 sanding and fitting guards too hehe will should have taught him
40th like.
@@dudeonacow9917 Holy cow i did not expect 41 likes on this comment.
se what i did there? hehe
I love how you keep bringing back will's talent
Such a great friend
Can I just say, the editing on these videos is on another level, I don't think I've ever seen better editing on a TH-cam channel, hope whoever edits these videos sees this. Man it's just wonderful.
I want to thank you and your team for the grinder you sent to Buckin Billy Ray that was a very kind thing you did. Long time sub of both channels.
"Me, I'm down here, I'm very unconfident."
*Me any time I take an exam*
It's looking fantastic so far, I love this series, though I think you were OUTRIGHT INSANE to do it in hardened steel the first go around... something to try again in the future after you get some more carving under your belt :3
You must have got spoiled by having Will doing all the fiddly stuff for all those years😂
Oh yes!
@@AlecSteele I feel you man, I've been hand sanding for weeks😂
@@AlecSteele can you link your ball burrs?
Its so nice of Alec to compliment Will like that- here hoping for some special episodes of Steele Vs. Stelter in the future!
That thing is looking sweet. Gonna be another masterpiece.
I LOVE the moving time laps
imagine the amount of work that went into that handle from the book, without all these special tools.
Why hasn’t there been any discussion by Alec about how they actually would have done this in ancient times?
@@NeonNewt9 steel, probably by engraving.
in all honesty, im thinking it would be an easier method. if a bit slower.
with bronze, probably casting.
@@yunthi That's what I figure too. Make the original in wax, cast, and then touch up some of the fine details - just like modern casting.
@@erisobrien4313 it might be easier to just design it in CAD and then 3D print it. Then, make a mold and cast...
I think I have even more and more respect for the artists of the past. Just imagine. Alec has all these modern tools and keeps saying how difficult it is. Imagine the guys hundreds of years ago :O
I would love a video/series around blacksmithing a dinner set, like plates, cutlery, goblets etc.
I like the way you admit your weaknesses and mistakes, this has become rare and in my opinion it is important not only fore ones learning process but also for others. Thank you for the joy I have watching your videos.
Alec, i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been my inspiration to start my own forge and to start my own business. I've taken steps towards taking classes and finding an internship as well. All to get out of the mundane cooperate environment and to live my life the way i see fit. And that's thanks to you, your sponsor for this video would be that one part that i would struggle with the most and if not for you I'd never even know about that service. THANK YOU!
Seeing the inspirational picture, it's amazing folks could create that kind of detail in metal without a single power tool.
Drawing the graph line on the floor was comedic genius XD
Started re-watching the old videos.
Like them a lot.
I'm glad y'all are selling Benkhe's file guides, I've been putting off getting one for years, and have just been making my own. But with how easy it was to throw one in my order I couldn't resist.
Alec, to break the bond of hot glue use alcohol.
Yeah he could probably use a drink at this point. 😜
Or acetone
Yes. I use the alcohol trick all the time. It works great.
Came here looking for this comment.
As a hobby-level CNC machinist, my favourite method would be the tape and glue similar to what Alec ended with
Painters tape, specifically the low tack / easy peel stuff that leaves no residue + CA (superglue) works wonders for fixing things down.. enough lateral strength to withstand machining aluminium with a 1.5kW spindle, and low enough perpendicular strength that it easily peels off of soft wood/plastics without risk
And if you like to re-use the same mounting surface multiple times, tape that too!.. that way the glue is only in between the tape layers and not actually touching your work or mounting surface
Love that contrast in the fuller!!
Bless you, Glitter Steele. You are a treasure. Thanks for doing all that you do.
Alec needs to include more charts in his videos. I enjoy whiteboarding very much. Thank you
It's a joy watching you tackle fine work! Loving the series
Nature makes it look so easy to make scales
When he showed his confidence level, i felt that on every project i start at because i have no idea what to do
To quickly remove material between the scales and build definition, use a black ink marker to designate the material to be removed. You color the top half of each scale black.
You should carve a line of tulips on both sides of the guard like the multi tool.
Seeing a rather experienced carver with expensive modern tools having such difficulties on that handle makes me appreciate medieval artists even more. Imagine carving that handle with such primitive tools.
"Call me Glitter Steele."
And now I want to see you make glittery steel.
ooh that would be really cool
In each multi set of small bore diamond or carbide tips, there is a set of rounds for undercutting and detail line grooving. Almost NO skip or drag mistakes. My go to grinding kit when carving. Even used them on an anvil restoration!
Your instinct is amazing!
Imagine doing all that work without that burr tool, loving this series and watching you learn while you work
I just can’t wait till Alec gets everything back in business with all the tools and machinery, because damn I love this channel!!!
It's inspiring that you even try never mind some of the mind-blowing results you have realised. Well done, Alec!
These videos are awesome! Thank you!
The carving of a master
It is lovely to find you there. A collaboration between you two would be incredibly enriching for the enthusiasts and also beautiful to watch. Alec would also learn to plan ahead and think more about each steps instead of rushing.
You could work on some copper Damascus rings or intricate patterns Damascus rings.
Love to see you here!
Can’t wait for your next video
I love how high of praise this is!
Way to hang in there guy. Ceremonial/decorative knives look like a real test of patience.
I'm so excited to see this finished!
That confidence chart had me in stitches hahaha
Alec, to help get the hot glue off you can use the cold air from an inverted can of compressed air. Like the stuff used to spray dust out of a computer keyboard. The glue contracts and becomes brittle when it gets cold.
Loving these panning time lapses shots :O!
Love the music choice in this one! The dagger is looking 🔥
Alec, here's a little trick I learned a few years ago: pour some alcohol drops in the hot glue and it breaks the bond.
Easiest way to remove the glue without damaging the piece!
I love this series so much the work is beautiful Alec keep it up!
Alec, for holding it down, try blue tape on the blade and the flat surface, then superglue between them. Works great for woodworking, and I bet it will work for hand sanding.
for carving shapes like these it really helps to crank up the spindle speed as much as possible and just carve with the middle part of the bit in a very low angle and not with the tip
the handle is looking awesome with the red and bronze look
Keep up the good work Alec. I enjoy your learning process and your tenacity to complete a project.
Good stuff! I have a suggestion for securing the blade for hand sanding next time though- instead of tape & hot glue, use masking tape & super glue. You'll want two strips of tape equal length (and wide enough to fully secure the piece). Put one strip down onto the surface you want to affix the blade to, and the other to the side of the blade you want attached to said surface. Then, put a line of superglue down the piece of tape you stuck onto the blade, and then spray some accelerant on the piece of tape stuck on the surface. Stick them together, and presto your piece won't be going anywhere- plenty of resistance to the back and forth motion of hand sanding. Then when you're done, it's as easy as removing the tape with a vertical pull (which can be helped by making the tape pieces longer than the piece you're working on if that so fits your preference).
Glitter Steele! Make the merch. Plain long-sleeve shirt that gets more "glitter" as you go down the sleeves. Picture of your engraver on the front with Glitter Steele on it. Send me one in XXLT!
This man’s patience is unmatched
I deal with metal shavings all the time and I found using strips of fine sand paper can pull those slivers out, if it hurts rubbing it across go the opposite direction and they come right out.
man... I gotta say.. that music makes this sound sooo epic!!
Brilliant carving, fantastic work.
Thanks for sharing.
That blade is gorgeous!!
Here's a great tip on removing hot glue!
User alcohol, any alcohol works! I iso use some isopropanol. As soon it comes in between the glue and what ever is glued to, it pops right of. And the best part is that once the alcohol evaporated you can reuse that area with hot glue again and again.
Mad respect for you guys. Keep up the amazing work.
Plz do more like this in the future its awesome
It's looking awesome!! And I've also learned so much through this
This man is a master of his craft
Hey Alec, when you use hot glue to glue something, use rubbing alcohol for peeling it off, it breaks the glue and the piece comes off easily. I've been using this trick for a long time and it works well.
Passing on a little trick I learned from the RC community where hot glue is often used as a quick and dirty way of fixturing non-critical components. When you want to detatch the part, use isopropylalkohol/ethanol. It seeps into the connection and the glue imediatelly looses its bonding ability.
Haha the confident chart shows me during tempering and heattreating vs. A pro xD
Will must be so proud of Alec using red marking dye instead of blue dye
My greatest Respect to your work. I am struggeling to cut some letters into the fuller of some of my Reenactment swords with my Proxxon engraving tool. Without microscope or something to have a good clean work done it is sometimes really challenging not to throw the whole thing out of the (closed) window. XD
This piece of yours is a Beauty to behold.
00:26 the dagger knows where it is at all times
Ur definitely my favorite artist of all time.
Wow this thing is gonna be gorgeous. Not bad for your first post-Will masterpiece!
That’s a lot of work brother. Hats off to you..
Wowsers keep up that mind blowing craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. God Bless.
I'm surprised you have not made, or come up with your own design of custom files for intricate carving.... seems like something you would have done. Love the work and effort you put in to your videos thanks for the inspiration
lol hahaha the confidence chart was hilariuous!
The blade looks awesome Alec! 👍😁
Great work as always pal great to see you back in the uk
Would love to see another old school live stream, miss the old ones back in the day on twitch in your old old old workshop 🤣 just Alec Steele with a forge a hammer and some metal. Those were simpler times, keep up the vids 👍
Love that outro you are using lately!
The blade looks awesome!
Just think about the fact that alec has power tools. When the design was first made they did it by hand. Just wow
Random Fact: Technically, Lego is the largest tire manufacturer in the world
By volume of rubber or number of tires
Do they even count as tires if they lack the space for an innertube?
@@jack9025 By the sheer volume of tires they make
@@jack9025 Number of tires, I think.
@@MrBlack0950 many normal car tires do not use an innertube.
I feel like actually carving with a lil hammer and carving tools is a way better option than burrs
Mr Glitter Steele, your confidence levels are astonishing!! LOL! Keep the videos coming.
2:49 So you are funny as well.
I was a dental technician for 30 years so my confidence would be pretty high. Imagine what the 15th century metal worker would be thinking without all the tools, the hand piece, electricity and all the tungsten carbide burs you have today.
Give Bobby Duca Shout he's really good at that kind of stuff give you some options
we really dint realize how much help Will was thats crazy but keep at it you cant get better without trying
I don’t know why but this handle makes me think about coral, and I think a coral themed weapon could be so amazing ! Next project?
I do enjoy your channel very much, and watching you make this dagger the thing that comes to my mind is the the person that made that did it without power tools or optics to help.
Hi Alec, I love your channel and I'm actually building my first forge thanks to your videos. I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to try something different.
Imagine how difficult it was to create those intricate patterns without a microscope and a burr to carve out the excess material. Just shows how skilled blacksmiths and Jewellers of the past were
You need to get some Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers. Best machinist tweezers ever.
Here a 3-step idea to polish the handle:
1: cover the heads in epoxy. This will be done to protect them.
2: put the handle in a polishing tumbler, with a frequent checking-in, no to go too far.
3: burning away the epoxy, while keeping the temperature low enough to not melt the handle.
