Alec Steele Blacksmith 2020

[AlecSteele]

Hey guys! We're gearing up for a live-stream on the channel this afternoon if I can get all the technology up and running after a few years in boxes! Turn your notifications on! The Live-Show just might be back! ;)

Leave them in as they are received from the foundry, offer the finishing as an add-on and for everyone else toss in a tutorial page on how to finish it off. This allows the price to stay lower, and still be finished in an Alec Steele manner this also allows people to finish it to their liking.

Most youtubers: sell shirts, hats, sweaters, maybe the occasional figurine
Alec: HAMMERS. GRINDERS. AND ANVILS

[majormindup]

Someday, a hundred years from now, a smith will be standing in his shop and bragging, "Yep, this is an original Steele 140lb anvil. One of the best ever made!". What a solid, permanent contribution you are making to the future. You should proud of what you've accomplished. You taken a basic simple skill, mastered it and turned it into a success story. BraVO!

Ladies, find you someone who looks at you the same way Alec looks at that anvil.

[AlphaMachina]

Alec is a genius. This is the best possible advertising there is. What a beautiful anvil. Not only that, but for those that can't quite yet afford this quality of a tool, he shows an alternative way to achieve your goals, and in that, a way toward maybe one day affording the anvil of your dreams.

[elijahsipple]

Every other YouTuber “buying my dream car” or “buying my dream house”
Alec - “buying my dream anvil”
So wholesome I love it😂

This channel taught me what true patience is when it took 300 years to make a cavalry saber

[belfonzus]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Jamie's editing? I'm constantly impressed by the timing of the hammer blows with the beat of the music. It just makes the whole thing so much more satisfying to watch.

[mrendall]

Me with $0, not even owning a hammer: "Yeah I'll probably get that anvil".

[siggyincr]

If you sell these, I'd suggest that you offer an "as cast" version. Most of the people who would be interested in an anvil will be able to do the finishing themselves and will appreciate the reduced price.

[eckyeckypikang]

I've been watching you for just a couple of years, Alec, and I appreciate how you've grown as a businessman as well as a craftsman... But I have to say that watching you go to town with your hammers trying to push this anvil to it's limits really reminds me of the younger versions of you learning the earliest steps of the craft and the joy you exhibited while doing it... I'm glad to see that your evolution has not taken the fun out of beating hot metal with tools you're holding in your own hands!

When you start serial production have the foundry date and number them.

Me: *dreams about my crush*

Alec: *mmmmMM anvil*

[Xecoda]

The hype he showed when he started using the anvil makes me want to go into blacksmithing.

[MWMitman]

My vote would be for a "rough" version to make it a bit more affordable. Nothing in the prep I couldn't easily do; heck I'd probably surface grind the top anyway, because why not?

[johnsmithfakename]

In 100 years Alec Steel anvils might still be around, in use, and serve as inspiration for another anvil.
I bet his ghost would be happy.

[alanphalen]

A video showing the casting process of the new anvil would be awesome.

When you wail on an anvil so hard that your hair gets shorter!!
