Alec Steele Blacksmith 2018

Congrats on the 1Mill Alex it's the hardest million to get is the first.

[Levi-xoun]

all tools used in this project increased in price by $100

What I learned about forging gold from this video:
- It’s phenomenal
- It’s like butter

[dustmodebros]

The name "upsetting" for that process makes a lot of sense.

To be fair, I'd be pretty upset if someone threw me in a fire and that ended up making me shorter and fatter.

[FrenchGuyCooking]

The malleability and - let's be honest - the incredible amount of satisfaction generated, really reminds me of play-doh.
PS : Congrats on hitting 1M Alec !!!

[RyoHazuki]

Alec I actually have an idea on what to do with the gold filings that you saved so that none is wasted. Try to get a little crucible so you can melt it down, pour it out in a long string (probably make a little mold) so you basically have a gold wire. And then make a standard wood handle for the little gold knife, and carve inlay into it and lay in the gold wire!

I think that would be phenomenal!

[garrettwardell]

My broke ass cried watching him sand that gold down 😭

[chrisosh]

Truly a golden moment!
Congratulations!

[rallywagon]

Something you might consider doing with the shavings. Carve out a design in a handle, mix the gold into epoxy and fill the carving. Sand smooth and you have some beautiful gold inlay

[blahblahsen]

i'm a blacksmith. no frigging way would i be hammering on 4 grand of gold like that. you sir have a larger wallet, and larger balls than i, and i salute you random brittish guy.

Next video: Damascus Gold, Silver and Platinum knife.

[xFlacksht]

Now you have to enchant it with Durability IV

[blksrsil]

A breakdown of why you have 1mill+ subs, you're insane enough to forge a solid gold knife, but humble enough to save the castoff. Love your work man

[Sarin-Q]

I'm ready for the 5M subscriber golden sword.

[legionwermany]

I don't think I can name any other YouTuber who seems to be such a genuinely nice person. Alec deserves all the success in the world.

[jaridkeen]

That knife is beautiful, But what if you added Silver designs to it with a Darkwood handle and Platinum boots holding it together. Then auction off the knife or make a really nice Case for it too. I know you cant use it bc it's to soft but it is surely a work of art

[peterogers]

There are lots of channels that have a million or more subscribers but none that deserve it more than you.

[adammoore]

Honestly, How many times did you accidently blow away the gold dust?

[Phahel]

I would cry with ever stroke of the file

[TundraTactical]

I love the fact that you actually went out and did something special for your milestone on 1mil! You are a genuine blast and one of the most entertaining people out there. Keep up the great work sir! Cheers from America!!!
