Alec Steele Blacksmith 2020
Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy the time with family.
Merry Christmas
@Bill Dont thanks bill and happy new year
@Raymond Farthing Only from what he has stated in his vids. He will be spending time in both UK as well as the USA. Since his wife is from UK as well.
Merry christmas
@Bill Dont hi bill do you know why Alec came back to England and why he didn’t stay in the states
The U.S. is alecs Tampon. He bled on us and left. He went Hollywood and has to make his TV show on the UK stations.
Ooof. Twas definitely too soon and I’m just now catching up 😂
In another millennia, what will the archaeologists deduce was the purpose of will's star?
1:01 ‘use your legs as a third hand’ Sadly I already have a third leg there lol
Nice Anvil Alex.... Good shape.
7:08 "....and that's when Mrs. Steele walked in and screamed WTF are you doing!!"
Alec, you have to be missing your USA workshop. You finally had it perfect before you left. Retro Alec is cool too though. Always fun to watch. You are by far my favorite COVID-19 entertainment! Also, my gosh your pup has gotten huge!
Alec would have been a giant in the Roman Legion. Average height of a legionaire was 5'6"......
@Alec Steele, So I have a question. Considering your past work why not cushion the anvil on the stand with some leather? Or does this have a negative effect?
did you mean 3rd leg rather than hand? xD
Alec Steele Christmas story audio book when?
Are we all just gonna ignore how good will's poem was?
I am sure that Will would agree, Way too soon Alec.
Wat steel do you use for the punch and drifts
I know nothing about metalwork and will likely never need that knowlege, I am just here for the amazing vibes radiating of this man!
how much for one of them anvils?
Wait why are you not in Montana anymore
anyone else think Alec and Will would make a great poets
Ok I've had to flip one of those Rhinocart tables over before in our makerspace.. you actually made that sucker look light and easy. That table is like 410lbs for anyone wondering.
What Mrs. Steele saw in Alec wasn't just his blacksmithing abilities... It was the third arm between his legs.
Some of your viewers may wonder why there are only 3 legs, when they think it should have 4. They may not realize that 3 legs makes it less likely to wobble.
Alec went there, dam. Nice stanko tho, interested in what your going to make with it in the future
Thank you so much for this! My whole family loved this once again and are planning to make our own! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Get a cheap engine hoist that you can roll around the shop and use to lift heavy things. Something that folds up out of the way.
anyone know the song at 2:25?
Anyone else see George McFly in Will's mannerisms as he talks to the camera? No slight to Will here... just an observation. Looking forward to more content on his channel. Happy New Year, dudes!
I love the Christmas Poem!
I literally spit out my water when it cut to the scene of Will's power hammer. R.I.P
Do I have space for that table? No. Do I need that table? Not in the slightest. Do I want that table? SO MUCH.
Why weld, and not forge-weld?
Alec, those headphones won't help you if they are not on your ears.
Drop the power hammer...you couldn't resist could you 😅. Poor Will...
Omg ive been watching since the beginning and the will hammer break devastated me but when Alec said too soon I laughed so fucking hard that was funny hey if you can't laugh about tragedy then we are all lost
Nice Poem 👌
Best Wishes to Will for his new venture!
WHAAAAT a great freaking poem. Very nice segways
You've made some Major progress Alec. Shop is shaping up nicely
your back in the UK! please use Meters and have you Editor add the ''Freedom'' units on the screen
Paint it like a Minion
1:00 -^)
Cool toy mate
Will is literally so funny and cute!! 💕
Lol. Too soon. Poor will
"Something I find useful is putting a bar of steel between your legs." Man, if I had a nickel...
Really? Power hammer joke? Low blow. Low blow...
Also, watching you trying to flip that table brings back memories of setting up a hobby woodshop I used to have. Assembling and then flipping my table saw, doing the same with the jointer, trying to move the bandsaw...
It’s the worlds most dangerous Christmas tree topper and it’s bloody awesome. 😋
Literally.
Why is will leaving?
I saw your channel the other day and i can't say how much i love it!! I work in a forge since 2007 but i can't make things like yours because i work with pieces from 2.5 tons to 26 tons (straight from ingots)
Hi Alec, amazing content and thank you for the dedication throughout this period. I want to get my father a gift, and remembered that you mentioned a sort of “reference work” for smithing and engineering with information on stuff such as tensile strengths of steed etc. Could you tell me what that book is called? Thanks in advance and with the warmest regards, Tim
Alac you need to make a wall calander avalable for sale on your shops site for 2021 becuse we all need a calander with monthly pics of power hammers and forging pics from your shop
How would one secure an anvil with no bolt holes/anchor points?
The Kermit part killed me
Too soon.
God I love will so much. You 2 are fantastic on so many levels
Looooove the latest videos from you two guys. This is the sort of content that made me buy one of Alex' forges, and get into forging and metalcrafting myself. Handforging and projects suitable for us mere mortals please. 🙂
I heard a theory that Alec had visa issues and hence the move back! Any chance it’s true?
Would love an audio series of poems from Alec.
2 blacksmiths, 3 shops, something is aria.
8 for effort, 2 for execution. AWRY
An ulfberht sword would be very interesting. Mainly made with the methods of the time. You know the German quality has always been very popular, even in the year 800. I am sure that you are able to forge a similar quality.
Hi mister steele, I miss your projects which lasts at least 15 episodes ... 😔
Wait, you're back in the UK?!?
You reeeeeealy need an overhead gantry
Lol longer I watch this show...the more I see fellas from other groups I fallow...lol the french chef ..lol TA fishing show lol who's next perhaps Burrfection? This is connecting the dots to my hobbies
I love the AvE reference with the janky jenga blocks.
please name the new power-hammer Boris.
how is that not an OSHA violation lol
Hi
Ugh I would love for him to make another channel or a series where he goes through any math he goes through or at least the most common arithmetic he uses throughout his days
Really enjoying the content. Amazing craftsmanship! Can any answer this question for me, how do you keep the tang the same thickness as the blade when you compress so much metal together, is the tang expanding when you compress the sides?
There’s such a sinister vibe to the Christmas music when will starts making the donut lol.
Clicking on the link for the welding table in hopes I could get one but then seeing the price☹
Cant watch this kid with his fat dirty fingers in every shot
oh and Will writes the book
up next alec actually makes an audiobook
the off center hole is driving me crazy
dont leave will, youre the best part of this channel
Hey Alec, I love the channel. I was wondering if you have ever thought about doing Forged in Fire? You seem like you are exceptionally skilled at forging blades. From what I have seen on your NOtown channel you seem like you could definitely win forged in fire. I think it would be awesome to see you compete on that show. I know it would be a great challenge for you and would love to see how you would do. Also it would be nice to see what Jay Nelson a Master Bladsmith would say about your work.
too soon..... hahahaha nice
Thanks Alec!!! Best wishes to Will!
Yogo's growing like a cloud over Sweden in april! Such a lovely little pupper!
Too soon.😉
Are you willing to sell your little titanium anvil
"Too Soon?" Yeah- Too Soon lol
Bruh someone get this man a new phone lmao
Alec, did you have to leave the United States due to Visa reasons, or perhaps your wife is pregnant and you went back to the UK for the birth?
I was afraid that knife star was going to fall on someone's head
Merry Christmas Eve (a little late, but it's the thought!)
Will, stop dicking around with Xmas decorations, you got a big power hammer in need of serious attention! Get a hold of Windy hill foundry, I’m sure they can help, best part they have a crusher that will eat the remains so you can cast with original iron! Best of luck man, I felt the pain as it hit the pavement!
I recomend Terry Hayes's "I am Pilgrim" 25h of pure hairraising thrilling spy action this will fill a part of your holiedays nicely!!
must be nice working with all brand new equip
definitely too soon now I feel said again
Too soon - the empathy is strong with this one.
mm because you're in the UK?! Take that back young man, it's INCHES, ALWAYS!
Great vijeo story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😄
These are words I never thought I would ever utter: That poem was amazing
I do love the implication that a bored an unattended knife maker WILL resort to either making knives out of things, or making things out of knives.
Yes!!! A blackboard!! So much better than crappy whiteboards.
Oof “will’s hammer” reference was a tad soon
If you had to what would be the 5 tools you would take to start over blacksmithing excluding the big machinery ie lathe Bridgeport power hammer
