My name is Alec Steele and I am a 20 year old blacksmith from Norfolk in the United Kingdom. I upload a vlog from my day at the workshop almost every single day. Lots of sparks, lots of making, lots of fantastic-ness. Great to have you here following along!

What do I make? LOTS of Damascus steel, knives, swords, axes and more and of course, I always love hearing your suggestions for future projects in the comments below!

So if you want to see lots of forging fun, blacksmithing badassery, cinematic hammering and more in my Daily Vlog (#Daily_Steele) - please subscribe here by hitting that red button!

Alec Steele Blacksmith 2018

I once heard a saying about this type of thing:
The difference between a master and a beginner is that the master has failed more than the beginner has tried.

[MrBurns]

I just told my wife I bought a forge, she is not happy. I can’t be any more excited.

[thecapacitor]

Leaves? Nah... Everybody knows the best way is to craft 100+ Iron Daggers to increase your smithing skill.

[wreams]

Me: The steel is burning and melting my leg

Alec: DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE STEEL IS DOING, KEEP THE BAR STRAIGHT

[romkedeboer]

The first thing I tried to forge was a sword... I mean it does sort of look like a sword, but you're better off using the bar I forged it from

[reverendfawkes]

Alec from 3 years ago: "Steel is inexpensive."

Blacksmiths in 2021: "Well, maybe it'll be cheaper to mine my own iron."

[coolbeans]

"Sometimes you don't have the luxury of having the best tool for the job, but you gotta get it done anyway"

[lllzooklll]

These look easy as hell. Ha, "look" easy. I'm currently on the third one and the first 2 were an exercise in not throwing my hammer through a window. Slowly getting there!

[torbjornahman]

Good advice! We all need to practice more :)

[thecoulee]

Me: watching quilting videos.

Alec Steele: Suggested Videos.

Well, I don’t know how a forge will help me quilt, but let’s binge this for a few days. Thank you Quarantine.

[TheGoodoftheLand]

This is a tutorial on greatness. The average man would pat himself on the back after forging a great leaf while a craftsman will study every flaw never satisfied. If you ever learn anything from Alec learn this. Watch this video twenty times if you have to. Most men live a lifetime without this knowledge. Leave your ego at the threshold of every door you walk through and strive to be better.
Alec, you are truly an old soul... Thank you.

[BernieFromTheInternet]

Cost per unit:
Material - basically nothing
Propane - a lot

[berlinbuilds]

Aaahh!!! You made that look so flipping easy. Tried my second one today. Failed again. My daughter thought my first one was a spoon.

[pheorrungurd]

Started making nails, and than made those nails into arrowheads. The man that taught me told me that you should lean on nails first. You can always turn one into a hook, arrowhead, or several into a knife. Made 8 dozen in a day, and than we used them to repair his fence the following weekend.

"I don't fear the man that has practised 10'000 different leaves once. I fear the man that has practised one leaf 10'000 times".

Alec... You are my son's age. I have been "playing" with this craft since I was about tn years old, and sold my first knife before I was 15( before you were born), I started following your channel a few years ago in your irst little cave of a shop, through the new country shop, and then I moved last fall where I had to build my new house from the ground up basicallyand only realized a couple months ago when I was moved in that you had made the big leap to my old neighborhood in Montana! I watch and follow you because I love seeing everything you do and have learned so much ecause of everything you show, share, and do. From one steel-beater to another, my hat is off to everything you have done and will continue to do. Thank you for everything you have contributed to inject so much new life into the craft. You truly are remarkable and one of a kind.

[mitchellrubio]

hey, i've been wanting to blacksmith ever since I was a little kid and I finally decided to go for it and make my own forge. Your videos are super informational and I know you probably don't read comments from a two year old video. Learning the basics and fundamentals is something that I have really been trying to focus on so videos like this are super helpful

[madhatte]

Man, I wish I'd had my act half as together as you do when I was your age. I only barely understood motivation and personal accountability by the time I was 30. You have such a huge head start.

[indiestripper]

This video is dangerous when you have adhd because its past 4 am and i'm fully convinced I should change my life and become a blacksmith

[michaeldecuffa]

Dude you're like the Gordon Ramsey of blacksmith forging. Well done mate
