What do you think of trying a pipe wrench?? Sure to cause stress induced balding!!!!
make a micrometer
I think you should make a draw knife
Raid is dogshit and it's crazy how casually TH-camrs will say that they love the game. Although I too would probably sell my soul for the dumptrucks of money they offer.
Adze or an inshave
It’s absolutely gorgeous. The pattern is super cool yet super subtle
Super
Super
Super
I love the hammer it looks great, I've been watching for a long time now and it's amazing to see just how far you've come. A booming buisness and a lovely family. I wish you nothing but the best. I do hope to see a longer in depth project like the Viking sword again soon.
I still remember teenager alec hammering away in that little shed :)
We'll never know if it's a real framing hammer until you frame out an entire freestanding structure with it. Time to build yourself a new entire house with this thing!
I think it’s time for a longer part series! Like the Viking sword or bike series. Maybe an endeavor into uncharted territories like armor smithing?
I do love it when leather gets lathered. When the handle was set up I suddenly had the urge to get a Doner Kebab.
It'd be really nice to see what the Montana shop is doing from time to time. Maybe that team can make a unique piece?
Forge a socket set out of all those hammer plugs! You already made the ratchet so it's the next logical step
every time I see your forge and workshop I get envies.
Love the subtle "and thank you Jamie for not finding another job while I was gone" dig at Isaiah 😅
Awesome hammer only down fall from using leather handle hammers (past exp) is your missing the pommel plate that is on all tools and knifes that are leather stack handles, the glue/epoxy will separate from the steel. Pommel plate gets pressed on and the end tang gets heated and riveted over. But the hammer is a beautiful skillful design as is everything you make 👍
This is the right answer. Looks good now. But that handle will work loose and will have nothing to keep it there. How do I know? As a HVAC installer using a hammer with a leather stack grip being held on only by the peened plate....
3:20 Welcome to the yard shipbreaker. Keep an eye on your oxygen and remember. Measure twice, cut once.
That damascus turnout super unique!! I love it, nice work both of you! Maybe you should do a style reversal challenge, make an integral forging hammer and a pair of tongs that are hidden tang like a knife!
I'm blown away by how many people Raid still supports even after so many years.
It is amazing how the latter just slides down the geometry of the hammer head into the neck, just stunning
I really dig the hex head, still looks forged.
In how its made I recall them stacking plastic and leather.
I do wish you had used a bit from the face cut to cap the end of the hammer handle
I feel like you should make a little soundproof enclosure for your dogs that they can get in and out of so they can have more peace and quiet when they want to sleep. Could be a fun and useful video idea
Awesome to see yall make something so simple, and turn it into a beautifully made masterpiece.
Kudos to you and Sam both on the framing hammer, also I greatly look forward to seeing your next build series.
As a framer, this makes for a very good carpenter framing hammer mix. But the claw is too curved for a typical framing hammer and the striking face is in a weird spot. It looks amazing, but some tweaks I’d make are a slightly thicker shaft, a wider and more straight on striking head, and a straighter claw. All in all great work, you’re doin more than I could ever😂
I was looking for this comment. The top of the head desperately needs to be perpendicular to the tang
How come everything you do ends up so beautiful?!
Isn't the shaft a little thin??
Perhaps, but if properly treated it should be fine.
Crazy is doing fantastically. Well done.
I am so thankful that you respect those who work with you... gives me hope for the future 😇
I'd loved to see you make the forge masters hammer from the mandalorian.
Think we found a new hammer addition to the shop Alec!
great hammer. like to see sam more seems like a great guy and good blacksmith in his own right.
only Alec Steele could make a hammer look like a sword
Would love that hammer! I’m a carpenter in Scotland. Been asking you in the comments for as long as Barker street to make a claw hammer! 😍😍
Most beautiful hammer I’ve seen. Beautiful Damascus. The leather too. So nice. Greta job guys
You're great in the Hand Sandy department. I could watch you all day.
Damn it looks amazing. That handle is 10/10
Great job. Looks like a Ferrier style at the head.
wow that is fine craftsmanship
Epoxy is a poor choice for the handle, just because it will create hard ridges between the leather, a flexible glue like barge would be much better
But couldn't you grind down to the valleys of those ridges to eliminate them, or will that induce weak spots in the construction?
Like most of his creations, it will be unlikely that it gets enough use to matter. It's mostly a decorative item.
an added bit of cross hatching would make that hammer head grip better as you make contact with the nail. I have swung an Estwing for many years framing and drying in Houses, and a slick face hammer makes it harder to do the job unless it is finishing where the hammer face being crosshatched would mar the work and require extra finishing as the hammerhead would mark every full driven nail
As a carpenter I can say I never wanted to try a hammer as much as I do this one. It looks amazing so far.
you Sir, you inspired me to build another hammer myself. even though i was a little bit quicker (not considering traveling above the ocean in the meantime😅)
I love it, just missing 2 stamps saying hand made in the UK and the US
3 cheers to Jamie!! The real ⭐️
Please make some dog training/dog show content! I’d love to see how you train your dogs, and what they are able to do :)
cool episode. I challenge you to make a set of 4 wood chisels, from 1/4" to one inch. One of each size, in Bench, Mortise and Paring varieties. Nice handles, of course. Maybe auction it off for charity.
well holy shiiiiii, I had completely forgotten but yeah, all the fancy hammers had the leather handle thing others just rough wood :P
Alec: And thank you Jamie for not finding another job while I was gone
Jamie: Well this is awkward
Bro this is some QUALITY content
not damn…. that is one beautiful piece of art! A piece that’s practical and usable! Love it!!!!!
You should make 2 more going up in seizes like small sledge hammers
This hammer is so cool it would make Mjollnir (Thor's hammer), Thor and Hephaestus jealous 😍
That tang looks like you could forge a full blade from it, it's so long.
In 30yrs I've tried a lot of hammers and my favorite is still a 22oz estwing. I did have 1 with a shark I liked the most.
Very nice make, I too love those Estwing leather handles, my dad had one forever. A suggestion for a cheeky smith, make a slug out of nails to make a hammer. Cheers!
nicely done sam and alex! I like that the top of the hammer head is all smooth and continuous. very neat!
We need some videos on the doggos!
You should be on the Forged in Fire championship 🔥
I absolutely loved this video
Sweet looking hammer
That is truly a beautiful piece. That being said being a farmer I think I lost a finger just watching you swing it!
Use cobalt? Maybe to make a twisted Damascus lock jaws
What a beautiful hammer now you just need to build a beautiful saw and plainer and your set to go making a picture frame. Been watching you for while on here when you were on TV (by the way that was great) have u ever thought of talking to forged in fire in America as a challenge Alec style comp or setting up your own kinda spin here in the UK. 🏴👍
@Alec Steele awesome work like always, have you ever made a rams head would love to see your technique
Thank you so much for your hard work been interested in blacksmithing for about 10 years but never done anything about it, I have to say you Sir are my inspiration to start hammering steel bought me a forge finally
Thank you for inspiring people
Great team, thanks all. Loving the vids
Cool hammer, looks like the head of the monster from Alien.
lovely lines!
You only need one hammer. Mjölnir. This is how you Viking.
I wanna hear about the trials you're doing with your dog.
It’s so beautiful
That Alec is one beautiful hammer, I think you have done a freaking spectacular job, and the final product is one too be proud of, 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Love it, very nice indeed. I didn’t see a touch mark did I miss something?
Love the shape! Great work Alec!
Alec you think you could make a set of wood lathe tools?? :O???
Really nice work, it's a beautiful looking hammer.
Legendary weapon
Its vegatan leather
Love your videos
Good on ya, those aftershokz are da bomb! I love mine.
Jamie is back 🙌
he never left
Great work Alec, it's certainly hammer time with that!
Impressive! 🫡
Remember when you could come to this channel and see awesome projects? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Gee, a hammer made from scrap. I mean sure, that's content, I guess.
Omg, did I miss it or did you forget to put your touch mark on it. That's it, start over. Lol
Would love to make a custom brick hammer
looks really good mate , just not so sure if its enough strong in the handle ...
The hammer looks fantastic.
Make one similar to stiletto hammers
How about forging crampons? Like in Simond brothers forge back in 1860.
Just out of curiosity why didn’t you put a pommel on the handle? Wont the leather pieces at the bottom be a little weaker with the extra support?
Looked like he peened it slightly
The steel has almost like a wood grain to it which is great for a hammer
Nice project, again!
That is one expensive looking hammer, beautiful
pretty cool
So I am really loving how you are making different tools by using Damascus and I was wondering if it is possible to make a Damascus wood turning tool like a bowl gouge
It would be possible, but not something I would want to put to the test.
You would need a steel(s) with a lot of sheer strength and toughness.
And if your Damascus isn't immaculate, it could be a potential breaking point that otherwise won't be there. A homogenous metal is always going to be the choice.
Also if it's got low wear resistance, it will dull quite fast.
I don't know if you've seen a tool break when turning, but it's not pretty.
For the danger factor alone, I would avoid it.
Awesome, love your work man!
at 8:30 he is not holding a hammer... mans got a whole shawarma kebab
Nice hammer!!!!
Looks awesome. I just worry, like you pointed put, that the shaft of the handle got too thin and may not hold up over time. Framers often time will drive some very big long nails and will be really pounding a way. I worry this may crack or bend under some heavy use.
I kept thinking the same. Lots of weight on top of such a thin neck.
Thank you.
gorgeous hammer. neck looks thin AF.
Alec: We're grinding the sword- I mean the handle of the hammer.
it's a swammer (sword hammer)
Always love your vids m8, How about making a iron bow with some intricate decorations? Can always use some spring leaf as starter material. Cheers.
If want make more hand tools and want a challange Maybe make drill like crank or push drill.
Framing hammer with.. Tang? Or wooden handle axe style, wondering which you prefer for hitting nails?
That is without a doubt the most beautiful hammer I have ever seen. Me want 🤤
