5:30 Shoutout to Will's hammering technique. Fully above his head, swinging with his entire upper body, ending in that hip-hinge manner. Really reminds me of how farriers work metal and if you want to hand forge something, the farrier swing is the way to go. Having belt sanders, presses, power hammers, and the like is great, but farriers often go on-site to do their work and have to hand forge a lot. I'm sure Alec does this too he's a talented smith, but I'm originally from a teeny tiny village where there was a town's blacksmith and recently saw a video of back when I lived there and saw a demo. It brought all these memories and little things to the surface, so when I saw this I just *had* to point it out.

i love it. rolling old school with this "Will and the Garage" series. love everything about this channel, but man i love the way this series is going so much more.

Keeping the thin edge out of the main part of the fire will help a bunch i think, if there is a way to do that. (I've made exactly one knife. An 8" raindrop damascus chef's knife, and i took a 3 day blacksmithing class to do it. so my advice probably counts for naught)

Like my father always tell me : "Son, when I bought that hammer I bought the whole handle too." xD

Long time lurker on this channel but just wanted to say thanks to Alec , Will and the whole team for working so hard in such unpredictable times ! Keep doing what you do best lads !

still love Alec but this past year the lack of WACK WACK from Alec has been extremely disappointing. I miss late-night pizza nights with Sam and the rain leaking through the roof. Those were the times when it was more about the craft and less about running a business. ffs dude hire someone to run the damn office and get back to swinging a hammer.

Absolutely agree with you. Work smarter, not harder.

Will, I was gonna give you a hard time for not making mistakes, learning from them and sharing what you learned with us, then you go and blow the tempering of that blade. Whew, what a relief. (Okay, that sounded better in my head.) So, do what Japanese swordmakers did- coat the whole blade with an even layer of Satanite, then put extra layers on the back of the blade so that it doesn't lose heat as fast when you quench it, and the rest of the blade serves as a heat reservoir to help the edge temper evenly. Or is your forge just too short to get the whole blade up to temperature?

I like how we get to see low budget somewhat useful knives made for once instead of practically "useless" art pieces. Dont get me wrong i do love big bladed weapons but i prefer items with actual use aswell. Keep doing both guys!

Way to be a Bro Alec, cheers ol son 👍
