Alec Steele Blacksmith 2022

[Salty_Squared]

I know It’s repetitive for you and hard, but using the power hammer and putting out drawn out footage you smashing steel just has some type of hypnotic power that I always love to see

[lucasholcombe]

So glad you guys started showing the slower work again I love see steel being drawn out lol

Jamie appreciation post:
Dude, Jamie OUTDID HIMSELF with the cinematography, the editing, the soundtrack, holy smokes. This video is a masterpiece and I'm only a few minutes in. Good lord that man is talented, I'm genuinely blown away.
Alec is pretty good, too.
Y'all, how lucky are we to get to see this work? These two are both brilliant artists in their own right.

Since Alec is moving workshop again I think it would be nice if he made a key out of Damascus as a way of commemorating it.

[eddie]

This episode with the music is just simply on point. It’s like watching a movie with a epic blacksmith sense but you actually know what you’re doing. Good job gents

[paullmight]

love when Alec makes his own tools...usually means he is making something badass

[Mr_Darby]

For some reason, the music, noise and the repetitive movements of the hammer are so hypnotic! Every element was absolutely incredible! Please, do it again!

[IanTheWoodchuck]

I love when makers create their own tooling. Seeing purpose-built solutions is always a high point of seeing someone's workflow.

[SlyNation]

One thing I have always admired, how quickly and professionally you create your own tools. Chisels, dies, drill bits, forms, blocks, etc. They always come out so nice and perform exactly how you need it! I suppose it could be a little bit of editing magic, but even if it takes a long time, it allows you to create anything!

[imcarsonblake]

im glad youre back to the specific blade type projects, my favorite were the swords and 30 part series etc of extreme detailed beautiful work

[quantumfluxuation]

Not sure if you still read these comments but I think it would be cool if you tried to recreate that sword they just found in Germany? 3000 years old and preserved!

[JordanStAndre]

I have to say, this video and the last are by far among my favorites you have ever made. The content feels engaging, and you are delving into aspects of the forging process that are interesting. It doesn't feel overly dramatic or overly energetic, but it's also not boring or without interest. It's incredible content to me

[Bbeaucha]

I really appreciate the questions from your videographer (sorry I don't know their name). The questions are often ones I am thinking about myself and likely help Alec remember to explain things that have become second nature to him.

[bea]

I haven't seen or read dune, but these videos have some awesome cinematography and the music really engages me. Props to the editor !

[TorqueTestChannel]

I think every time you should go for an integral handle that way you'll ultimately have barely enough material to make one without it :D

[twojuiceman]

I know "less yak yak more whack whack" is the line, but I really like seeing you explain what you're doing as you're doing it. Keep up the great work!

[colemoureau]

The blacksmith was the most important person in the village, because they made the tools for the rest of the village. so much fun to watch you get giddy about making tools, even after doing it so many other times.

Let us all appreciate Jamie's sacrifice by filming Alec instead of girls. Thank you for your brave sacrifice and determination, brother!

[ArlenShawcross]

Jamie with the "i could be filming only fans girls right now" had me 😆😆🤣🤣

[jeremybatterbee]

That "OW! My Face!" in the background was gold.
