Alec Steele Blacksmith 2020
Still can't fathom the skill needed to do this hundreds of years ago.
where is this full build video?
This legit looks like something out of game of thrones
Where is that long video
Incredible. The amount of work involved is crazy.
I feel like with the way the butt of the handle is, that it would look nice with a spherical stone of some sorts in it
You totally missed an opportunity for another video to this series which could have been making an elaborate sheath for it, what is a blade without a sheath?!?!?
I love the handle but I don’t love the guard it’s too simple for the grand dragon design
If it were me and I had gone through all that work to carve the handle, I think I would have made a damascus blade, blackened the bronze and polished the high spots, and then finished it by setting rubies or sapphires in the eyes. Still a beautiful piece though!
what song is that at the end? made me feel comf (:
That is beautiful, you are the reason I want to become a blacksmith
To be honset, in my opinion handle compared to the picture looks trash.
I think it's time for a sword in the very same style
ngl alec pretty sure thats illegal might have to contact norfolk police :) jk
I have an idea for a prodject for you: Make a Haladie knife
God I would love to buy a blade from you!
So cool
When is the experimental video with all forging, no talking and longer final view going to be done?
This is amazing I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nicer stiletto heck not even close 🤯🤯. That will one day be someone’s family heirloom
Ooof. blade is nice, grip is beautiful, but that guard... feels lacking, hate to say it but yeah.
That is really elegant!
I love the handle
Love the way you finished off that back end Alec
It is so unbelievably beautiful. Sea creatures were my first obsession as a child, so it strikes to the core!
It's missing something. The sea dragons are usually guarding or battling something. Maybe a nice etching on the blade or a sheath.
*aesTHetic, not aeSTetic... Great piece though 🙂
@Alec Steele, if you're interested in a challenge, then you should make a Star Metal(+Copper and Bronze), Damascus Celtic inspired Kitana
Just imagine how good blue dye would have looked on the bronze.
Well done as ever! I love the blackened look. It ties it into the Renaissance perfectly. I think the antiqued look on the bronze is excellent. It just pulls the whole identity together in my opinion. It's beautiful.
That stiletto looking real sexy
I wish I could like this unlimited times
Sleepy reveal music.
This was a beautiful series!!!
Alex you should have a go at making, Setrakian's Sword Cane. From tv series The strain. Building it will use loads of your skills.
Is this for Wheel of Time show ?
It would be an honor to be stabbed my that stiletto.
I LOVE IT!
He needs to apply for one of those shows forged in fire or something
The Brass handle came out really nice, and with it blackened it really gives it the Sea monster feel!
This such an interesting contrast with the civil war sword.
Now that you have some experience with carving sea dragons you should do the sword from Raya and the Last Dragon!
This is a wonderful build. All I can say now: "It will keel"
In Austria we say: Ein Augenschmaus
Id like to see videos more than 10 min. I shut my tv off anfmd you tube is driving me nuts. What happened to half hour entertainment. Oh yea. A comertial every 10 min. Marketing out of control. Love your content though.
You should make butterfly swords!
Impresionante! 😍
Sheesh this thing is filthy
It turned out awsome. What are the measurements on that dagger?
Amazing result! I can't help but think it would have gone SO much easier though if you had been able to use blue dykem instead of that red...
mate do you need brain or imagination :D 1:05
Alec the videography in this is tight and the stiletto looks incredible but I have to say the most impressive part of this video is your hair - simply superb!
Now you need to Make, a Matching Sword... Giant Hugs
Classic Steele... Tons of work on one part, brutally machined crossguard with no attention. Not to forget to brag about stuff he got for free...
I love to see you back on TA Outdoors Alec
luar biasa 😍
Now that you have some experience with carving sea dragons you should do the sword from Raya and the Last Dragon!
that handle must be some of your coolest work yet. now imagine it in damascus. jk love it man cheers
amazing beautiful work, for a project in the future how about making an Arabian sword?
smiths must have been absolute artists....
put a ruby in the end of it
Impresionante! 😍
I really like the rough, brutal look the blade has in general. I've never liked overly ornate weapons, so this strikes a really nice balance for me similar to the engraved Vikingr sword.
can you forge gandalfs sword, glamdring? that'd be a masterpiece
Amayzing piece, mit give that extra alec steel touch with red rubins in the eyes of the monsters?
That`s a peace of art
it looks like a plug bayonet. It looks a LOT like a plug bayonet.
... make a enduro bike or downhill bike.
I was wonder what dremal thing you were using
A matching sword would make this an awesome set.!! any likes??
say Alec are you going to take castings of that handle it seems a bit of a shame to spend that much effort on it without being able to easily replicate it at need with much less effort.
Is it my imagination or Alec sounds more brittish every video?
pretty damn epic bro
You need to try to forge a fishing filet knife should be a good challenge seeing that the base of the blade needs to be narrow and stuff but about halfway the blade needs to be extra flexible as well being thin relative to other knifes and wicked sharp
Love the dagger. Honestly might have preferred it with the contrast between the red dye and the golden bronze.
Alec plz brother how can i contact you your number whatsapp plzz bro
How about a damascus assassin's crossbow a la Tod Cutler for a future project?
6:04 always nice to see Mrs. Steele make an appearance.
can you forge gandalfs sword, glamdring? that'd be a masterpiece
I think those scales need some smoothing out. The rough hammered look just seems out of place. I noticed the heads of the serpents were pretty smooth and I was hoping you would do the same for the rest of the scales. The blade is amazing though, and I like the shape of the guard.
Any chance you’ll build a scabbard?
Great work. Still not liking the way your voice is recorded.
Not related to the vid, but for the love of god Alec, shave! That partial fuzz you got going on makes you look like a kid
Amazing once again Alec!
Now you need to make a rapier to go with it
Hey alec, big fan but i know you wont like my comment...what happened to the original "ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the workshop fantastic to have you here" intro?
That turned out fantastic! Where do you keep all your builds? I'd imagine your sword room is running out of wall space 😂 👍 👌
Aw that makes sense, smart man!
He sells or auctions many of them off on his website.
Did you say "She" monster at the start there?
You never disappoint, Alec 👍🏼
Beautiful piece! And easy to disassemble for cleaning to get the blood out from the tiny gaps between the blade & the guard & handle, too!
That looks gorgeous
Nice transition from step 5 to 6 and I'll be sure to view the composite build video when you publish! Also I think your project vision through it all was exemplary and a very solid finish, the result shows your desire to stay at the creative apex and keep us entertained at the same time. Plus now, it's everyone's dream to have a little Alec inside them!
Absolutely stunning !!
I'm really looking forward to that full build video
I can smell the handle from here
Do you think you can make a scabbard wish a monster on it?!
This is truly artwork that you've created! Beautiful work Alec!!!
Would be cool if the sea monster eyes were a yellow diamond
Well done, it's beautiful !
awesome! just one question how does it cost? seriously
Pure craftsmanship the detail is next level
I tried asking you through your website but I can't contact you. I have been a meat cutter for 19 years I was wondering how how much it would cost to make a meat cleaver with Damascus steel.
when he was assembling it and it didn't break....
I feel the this would have worked better and came out better with your air graver instead of ball burrs!
