Alec Steele Blacksmith 2019

[brandoneich]

2 days In a row?! What a treat, it seems like Christmas came early!

Alec, there are certain things in life that just aren't done...wearing Stihl suspenders while using a Husqvarna chainsaw is one of them. Otherwise, great video!

[isaacsudduth]

The chainsaw Damascus has a really cool pattern. Almost like camo print or something.

[austinerratic]

The editing of these videos just keeps getting more insane! The power hammer matching the beat, the scale popping off as the beat goes, same with the milling. That’s just next level stuff honestly.

[Fiyanck]

Nice job you've done here! I'm a carpenter and I wanted to tell you that the wood that you choose for the handle is not good. In fact, for tool, we use 90% of the time: Ash. Because Ash is strong and flexible. This wood can last longer and, most important, damage less your hands in the long run. The chock that your hands are enduring are quite horrible at the age of 40-50 and more. It could damage your carpal tunnel in your wrist and cause a lot of pain.
Next time, choose Ash! 😉

I really appreciate your videos. The work you are doing is amazing and your videos are stunning! I follow you for about 6 years now and I always love seeing those new videos coming!

[sgavy]

I love the laid back and chilled vibe Alec and Jamie have these days... As well as the jokes☺️

[KrazeeeOne]

I've watched enough GreenBeetle to know that trying to get irregular items to forge properly is super tough. Well done sir.

Now make a chainsaw out of axes!

[Clatoog]

The axe won hands down. I’d really like to see some Damascus cuff links with some gem inlays. I wanna see some Steele bling! Cheers!

[rowyeah]

Never thought I'd say this but Jamie you're an absolute madman, you've actually made forging montages sexy

[msjanitsy]

11:16 Imagine seeing this running at you top speed

[whiteshadow]

You know, I can see why he wasn't allowed to buy a chainsaw until now.

[jackmcnelly]

A scythe made from lawnmower blades perhaps? to keep the theme rolling 🤣 I’m pretty sure most lawn mower blades are high carbon, between 1040 and 1080, so should be a okay steel?

[stephenharrison]

Going along this theme you should make a Damascus anvil out of hammers

[negerjoe]

"There is a shortage of chainsaw blades, np ill buy every blade I can find and melt em down"

[jabberwocky]

Guys like you that started me down the road. Keep it up, I had no idea what it meant to be passionate about something other than a person until i found the feeling of hammer on steel. The peace, purpose, and drive it has given me has been a revolutionary force in my life. Ive never studied harder, worked harder, or failed as often. I've loved every minute of it. Thank you.

[Gary-NB]

It would be great to see you make fancy wrought iron gates for the new house. You could brake the all time record for the most episodes for one project lol

[jensdavidsen]

Not a significant challenge but for a long time I've been wanting to see Alec make chisels, a draw knife, a spokeshave, and a couple plane irons for woodworking...as gifts to his father.

[Lordpooz]

I'd like to see more of the projects that take Alec well out of his comfort zone... or more of the revisiting projects from the past & see how much better it can be this time around...

[gregorytozer]

Alec, you should try making a credit card knife. A knife that is folded into a credit card shape and can fit easily in your wallet. I think that'd be really interesting to watch. Love your content!

“Oh I don’t care about Peter. He can go (dog bark) himself.” Probably one of my favorite quotes ever.
