You know most blacksmiths work really hard to make things not ring.😂 You're the first blacksmith I ever saw try to make the ringing get louder.👏👏👏 Good job Will.
The triangle has an open corner in order to inhibit it from having a definite pitch and thereby increasing the complexity and richness of the overtones produced. It's actually an "IDIOPHONE"..
Nice work. It is loud because it is large and is made of hard and springy stuff, and has strong resonances in the frequency bands where your ears are sensitive.
As being one of the first people in line, im so stoked to now know that ya made the triangle! Definitely a way better way of starting off the whole show!
That is just lovely! I'd love to see a proper frequency spectrum of that thing since it has uneven arms vs root. It does sound like it is a tiny bit spread in frequency.
That'd be cool! A lot of concert triangles are designed that way on purpose to produce various overtones, sometimes also having arms of different length; I've even seen a couple where the thickness of the triangle varies drastically at different points. Perhaps the strangest triangle I've seen was one made out of square tube and gently twisted, before bending it into a triangle. I'm fairly certain it was made of brass, as it was very delicate
@@MesaCoast A triangle is supposed to be the third harmonic, considering it's suspended from a third of a way from the tip and struck usually in the middle of the sides (one sixth away from the tips or any nodes)? I could see that even a slightly wrong suspension place (not exactly on the node of the main tone) will quickly absorb the vibration into the leather strap and also the two edge segments being 5-10% shorter than the middle segment will probably do all kinds of funky things to the tuning. I'd imagine that it will indeed "spread" the tone into a bunch of less defined nearby tones and give the triangle a much more natural sound than just one pure tone (with some over-harmonics)?
first video watcher of your channel. Your transition into the squarespace add is what got me. Funny stuff, making things for other people just because, nice guy - keep it coming!!
This gives me an idea for a project for you. Traditional pipe Tomahawks were made out of gun barrels. So forge an octagon gun barrel out of Damascus. Then cut it down and make pipe Tomahawks.
Hey Will, not sure if you'll respond or not, but I've been watching you since you showed up at Alec's shop and watched Alec for a long time too. But there's one thing I never understood (just a casual forge lover but don't have anything to forge myself) is when or how do you decide to use either the Beaudry or the smaller power hammers, or the press? Why does it feel like sometimes you could honestly just use all 3 for the same thing, but you pick one or the other? That's not something I've seen being talked in any videos so far, and I was curious. Thank you!
Create two Damascus round bars with tapered ends, featuring various-sized holes. Interlock these round bars with an aluminum round bar in the center. To produce sound, place a wooden stool with a leather cushion on the aluminum round bar. Then, strike the aluminum round bar with a wooden round stock.
My favorite two parts of this video: The moment he looks at the triangle and goes "uh oh". The sound the splice in the sandpaper makes on his 2X72 when he uses it as a slack belt. There's no comedic substitute for shop antics.😂
Excellent video, Brother. I helped some Scouts make something like a hundred of these the other year, with the old guy's jigs and such, out of mild steel rod stock,
Hey look it's the one thing I too have made with a forge! Minus the actually hard pattern steel, I just used mild tool steel :) and needed help with my bends because I was too weak
I was looking up a triangle like you made but shaped like a hexagon. Couldn't find a thing, I didn't search for long so Im sure someone at some point made one? But that would be a neat instrument to make. It seems you get three notes with the triangle, the hexagon should give one 6 notes. I have no idea where you would put the opening, probably near the same area you would on a triangle. Either way that would be fun little project.
In the future, if you can harden some damascus steel, use some cold blue after you etch it. That will only darken the high carbon steel, giving you great contrast.
I have some old rock iron brownstock, two pieces, roughly 6 inches round by 2 inches in diameter. If I sent it to you, could you possibly do something with it?
watching this really makes me wish I had learned a real skill instead of going to uni, if I had I would be able to create such beauty, rather than being just another cog in a corporate machine. Love the channel Will! thanks for letting me live vicariously through you
Coool that’s an unusual masterpiece, the Damascus layers give its sound an extra radiant flaring, I believe you can open a portal with it when ringed in the right way😂
I made a dinner bell at work earlier today. It wasn't damascus, or triangular. Once you figure out the basics it is pretty easy to make a loud one in a wide range of different shapes.
I have always wondered about using fusion tig welding in damascus. Could you alloy the two steels to get a third color post etch? Perhaps use the tig to put an organic flowing shape over top an otherwise sharp geometric pattern?
Great job on this angle of three Will, but I so get the giggles when you spoke proper England like what you does on occasionally. It shows your daft but no idiot and you can ave a larf. Keep it up kidda...
I've never seen such an amazing, perfectly articulated segway into a sponsor read. Brought tears to my eyes XD
Ben Shapiro would be proud. If he’s this good now, imagine when he’s had that much experience as he has.
I was about to say pretty much the same thing 😂
Will is the king of segues
Downright beautiful transition.
Masterpiece
“You don’t want the ends touching because then it doesn’t music very well”
Science with Will Stelter
That twist on the twister was so immaculately and evenly twisty. Quite satisfying
You know most blacksmiths work really hard to make things not ring.😂
You're the first blacksmith I ever saw try to make the ringing get louder.👏👏👏
Good job Will.
It was a pleasure to hear it ring this morning, and an absolute honor to be able to shake your hand and talk to you for a minute, thanks Will!
As a percussionist I'm extremely impressed. Nice work.
Same here, well done Will!
i played triangle in a reggae band...
"i used to stand at the back and ting"
You sir are a gift!
We will need a follow-up short of her opening it and using it for sure.
so glad will started making videos after parting with Alec been a blast watching your journey
The triangle has an open corner in order to inhibit it from having a definite pitch and thereby increasing the complexity and richness of the overtones produced. It's actually an "IDIOPHONE"..
The technical term is "musics better"
It's a work of art that just so happens to make a beautiful sound too.
Nice work. It is loud because it is large and is made of hard and springy stuff, and has strong resonances in the frequency bands where your ears are sensitive.
@11:40 Those two Trimmings are going to make a nice Camping Knife one day! Hello from your Spokane fans.
As being one of the first people in line, im so stoked to now know that ya made the triangle! Definitely a way better way of starting off the whole show!
As both a percussionist and a knife person, this is really cool to watch.
That is just lovely!
I'd love to see a proper frequency spectrum of that thing since it has uneven arms vs root. It does sound like it is a tiny bit spread in frequency.

You're not at the workshop, I just saw you at Blade Show 😂
He lied! How dare he! Not at the workshop!?!?!!
Edit: I wish I could go😢
@@LittleGreyWolfForge lol. It was pretty awesome, my first time.
Needs more Cowbell!
the camera work on this is awesome
first video watcher of your channel. Your transition into the squarespace add is what got me. Funny stuff, making things for other people just because, nice guy - keep it coming!!
WE WANT LATHE RESTORATION!
16:14, that's not the triangle going quiet, that's your ears never being able to hear that frequency again HAHA
Man, you're the best kind of awkward. Please don't change.
I am impressed by how you worked the sponsor into the presentation.
Your segways into sponsors is something if legend!
Would love for you to make a compilation of them all someday!!!!!
thank you for taking me along with this experince
This gives me an idea for a project for you. Traditional pipe Tomahawks were made out of gun barrels. So forge an octagon gun barrel out of Damascus. Then cut it down and make pipe Tomahawks.
A simply brilliant and comprehensive description of just what a triangle is🤣😂🤣
Very nice job. The note just keeps going on and on.
Not thick enough?
Well, that's upsetting.

Smooth intro to the sponsor 😂😂
That was a fun build to watch. Very cool and thanks for sharing. I hope she loves it.
Will, still killin it, uploading more often! Love your thought process btw.

To produce sound, place a wooden stool with a leather cushion on the aluminum round bar. Then, strike the aluminum round bar with a wooden round stock.
Wow it sounds absolutely magnificent!
Lol love the Alec impression (full on Hugh Lorrie) haha
Love the vid too, super polished! Love to see you and Iziah getting into your Rhythm 🥁 🔨
About the same tone as my Military Grade Tinitus
That imitation of Alec Steel was On Point and so unexpected i had to pause the video to recover😂😂😂😂
Cool change of pace. Sweet work. I hope to see you tomorrow in SLC
Will,
Your videos always make me smile 🙂.
Thank you. Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
As soon as you hit it and harmonized with it I thought JUST LIKE HOT ROD!!! and then you played the clip 🤣😂 Brilliant!
My favorite two parts of this video:
The moment he looks at the triangle and goes "uh oh".
The sound the splice in the sandpaper makes on his 2X72 when he uses it as a slack belt.
There's no comedic substitute for shop antics.😂
Perfect transition to talking about square space
Beautiful work.
Love the Maritime Knife Supply hoodie!!
Amazing work and great ring to it 🥰😎
Excellent video, Brother. I helped some Scouts make something like a hundred of these the other year, with the old guy's jigs and such, out of mild steel rod stock,
Dude, that is really cool. Thanks for sharing the process.
anyone else just absolutely fascinated by the sight of the mill scale cracking off, revealing the glowing white hot metal underneath?
Next up , a Damascus tuning fork that can shatter glass !!!!
Hey look it's the one thing I too have made with a forge! Minus the actually hard pattern steel, I just used mild tool steel :) and needed help with my bends because I was too weak
Great build!
I love the way you lead into the sponsor mention.
such a cool and fun build. wish we got to see it in action at the show
I prefer the more subtle contrast over the high contrast.
That square space intro was a good one
I didn't know you were such an expert on triangles.
Well done Will. 😁👍🏼

Am I the only one that was waiting to change the triangle in the board into an square as a segway to an squarespace ads
Me!
In the future, if you can harden some damascus steel, use some cold blue after you etch it. That will only darken the high carbon steel, giving you great contrast.
Beautiful work m8

I thought the belt grinder was going to start playing popcorn there for a moment xD
"Because science" best explanation ever!!
Ps. Lathe problems, call Adam Booth
🤓Me: A percusionist, no wait a triangle player haha
*DEMASCUS*
🧐Also me: Behold the fine craftmanship and sheer talent of this artist
I'm pretty sure she will like this amazing dry angle! 😁😁🤘🤘
That is very cool.
Checking with a spectrograph on my phone and the dominant frequency is about 2438Hz
Coool that’s an unusual masterpiece, the Damascus layers give its sound an extra radiant flaring, I believe you can open a portal with it when ringed in the right way😂
I wonder if the length and volume of the ringing is due to it being Damascus?
Could you not have heat treated it after you bent it into shape?
He explains this around 10:45
The Segue God strikes again...I hope to attend a blade show some day and hear this amazing piece...
Hi Mr will, how does the twisting machine keep the twists so even ?
I made a dinner bell at work earlier today. It wasn't damascus, or triangular. Once you figure out the basics it is pretty easy to make a loud one in a wide range of different shapes.
Cool - stays safe.
Had this video on a pretty high volume. The first time you played it, a bunch of dogs in my neighborhood started barking... 🤣🤣🤣 It is loud indeed.
I have always wondered about using fusion tig welding in damascus. Could you alloy the two steels to get a third color post etch?
Perhaps use the tig to put an organic flowing shape over top an otherwise sharp geometric pattern?
Made one of them up last Christmas time for silent santa
That bell changed handle till it couldnt be taken any more
That triangle is really good and all, but I think it needs more cowbell
Wow that is one evil harmonic on that thing nice build though. Thanks for posting Will.
So it only has two angles since the third angle doesn’t connect?
Three angles. Two corners
Very cool.
The triangle was always the sickest instrument...until now
I’d have assumed that heat treating (and leaving a fairly hard temper) would be necessary for good sound.
15:51 is what you're looking for the rest os jist him building, making and explaining it.
Nice. 😊
That is so awesome! What note is it?
Put this video in the history books. Near as I can remember this is Will’s first swear word
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure there was some PG13 language when he dropped the hammer in Montana.
Dawg that transition startled me real bad
Ultimate punch! Haha, I love Hot Rod!
Ferric Chloride is still an acid. Looks great!
Ferric Chloride *in water* is an acid
On old farmhouse triangles there are two sides that run parallel and overlap
Great job on this angle of three Will, but I so get the giggles when you spoke proper England like what you does on occasionally. It shows your daft but no idiot and you can ave a larf. Keep it up kidda...
Remember Will , sometimes "Less" gives you "More"... Great job pal.
3:18 pleeeeeease put a guard on that grinder……..amount of damage they can do if the disc breaks Is TERRIFYING
The way i got bamboozled into an ad read
15:47 ouch my ears the triangle is a bit off in the tune
