Alec Steele Blacksmith 2018

[@AlecSteele]

Did you spot how many pairs of glasses I wore in the intro? ;) Let me know which you prefer and be sure to get your next pair from bit.ly/AlecSteele_GlassesUSA

[@dreadin]

first is best

[@ghostboy8216]

Alec Steele your awsome but how would you make money if you didn't have KZbin in blacksmithing

[@Freizeitflugsphaere]

Alec Steele the fourth was the best😃

[@abdullah-ze4bc]

Alec Steele Next project idea: forge timasscus or maks a 30 to 40 pound anvil by welding, grinding amd forging and test if the welded horn is strong enough and compare it with tge anvil you have

[@grntitan1]

The bit smaller frames.

[@hardwurkindaddy]

I absolutely love that you spend the time to correct, straighten, and perfect things prior to grinding. You do this even when others would "grind it out". Excellent work, as always. 'Tis why I keep watching.

[@cheesecrumbs380]

Make a Damascus glasses frame

[@Jenthura]

Hell yeah!

[@coleadams484]

Literally was about to type that! Or he could make timascus

[@cesargonzalez7113]

Please!!!!! 👏🏽

[@mrspinch2491]

definitely@@coleadams484

[@nicklayton9217]

I literally said to myself "omg he didn't say welcome to the workshop" I love your channel!!!! If you put out 5 videos a day I would watch them all!!!!!!

[@jasonwharbolt1]

Your videos have inspired me to attend my first black smithing class in Waco Texas. And boy is my arm tired. I spent 8 hours in front of a coal forge. I hammered out three twisted hooks and a mounting rack. It was hot, dirty, but worth every minute. I'm a little jealous that you make this look so easy my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@masterarcade8746]

Shout out to Jaime the unsung hero of this channel making all of these awesome edits!

[@masterarcade8746]

Just saying these guys are one awesome team. I can just see them off camera inspiring each other on with better ideas

[@Bo-kq8tn]

I unintentionally learned from this video that sandpaper comes in ROLLS. ROLLS! I work with tiny doll customizations and I'm constantly shredding sheets up into little squares but rolls would be SO MUCH EASIER to handle. bless you/your editor for putting that clip in

[@matthenderson3133]

Nothing makes me smile quite like Alec singing along to the Stanley Brothers while milling

[@ethanwigginton6421]

Can't wait for the finished product!! Give my props to the editor. Amazing job as always!!

[@martinjackson2627]

Alec, tidy your workshop. Just 15 mins.

[@nicklayton9217]

Martin Jackson lol

[@HarveSmith]

Martin Jackson dang it, someone beat me to it.

[@Geckomayhem]

I was going to say it too...

[@laytontyler584]

Shut up

[@forgedcraft_knives3606]

It's so satisfying watching your clips, Alec! It is such admirable how exactly you are working. Greets from Germany!

[@Paulster2]

That's not dirt on your forehead ... it's shmoo! :o)

[@ethanerzinger9854]

Paulster2 Alec watches AvE confirmed

[@notanimposter]

Release it!

[@thezombiefiles462]

Currently deployed right now and I truly look forward to seeing these new videos! Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you for your service! Thrilled you're enjoying the videos!

[@thezombiefiles462]

Alec Steele thanks so much! Means a lot to me! Just finished watching the CS GO videos. Nicely done as always. Looking forward to the next video!

[@brucematthews6417]

Alec, what you needed for the inside corner radius is called in Britain a "corner radius end mill". They come in a variety of diameters and corner radii. There is also outside corner rounding and chamfering end mills you can get.

[@mllcb42]

Also commonly referred to as a "bull nose" end mill for those in other areas.

[@przybyla420]

Or glue some sandpaper around a round stock or a dowel and chuck it in the lathe or drill press.

[@ga5743]

Enjoying your videos, your energy, and your projects. For my choice on your glasses, any style will do as long as they are safety glasses....lots of stuff flying around in your shop.

[@wheatongraham7779]

I saw that sneaky glasses change. Don't think you could slip that by me.

[@jonathanpinkston124]

New glasses first thing I noticed

[@zaneamberbeard135]

Loving this build Alex. Its almost funny to see you get frustrated. Also you are a large inspiration to me. I started making blades a year ago, your Alec Steele Show videos are helping me greatly. Made some tongs after watching the tong video. Keep it up and thank you.

[@sparXKuijper]

Hey Great work again guyz. I actually learn more from 'your mistakes' than I would from a straight through instruction vid with "NO" mistakes. Kelp up the gord walk.

[@curtisg8700]

Nice to give credit to Wheeler for the sanding techniques. I've learned tons from his videos and wip threads. Just discovered your videos and am binging on them. Amazing work!

[@TheNightcrowsNest]

Cut twice, measure once! That's Alec Steele's motto! It makes me laugh in a good way to watch you tell yourself that you are going to do things the right way, but end up making mistakes after mistakes! But no matter what you fix them to perfection! Never stop making mistakes! The greatest inventions were mostly created from mistakes! Plus I love watching you learn and grow! Also a PS. You didn't surface grind so you would have more material to work with.

[@chrisshollinrake6826]

I never really thought about it....but then I realised....I'd never heard the words blacksmith and surface grinder in the same sentence...that's the beauty of Alec Steele folks :)

[@URHYNS]

Alec that acid backing track in the beginning is dope AF!

[@danielcarlenfors]

This episode, has the best music that has ever been used on this channel!

[@eaaarts]

You sir, are awesome! I love it when young'uns like you keep ye olde crafts alive!

[@csabatolmacsi6043]

Truly magnificent videos. I like your vibrant personality, the educational trial and errors and most of all the different types of music you guys mix on the videos. Everybody can find their taste without sacrificing the core content. Keep up the good work!

[@leospitz6541]

It's always amazing how you never have the time to do the job right the first time but there is always time to do it again. :)

[@dhowting]

Haha I was just going to say nice new spectacles! 5 pairs! I like the black frame with white arms

[@speeding2fast]

Great music today. I loved the industrial techno/trance vibe in the grinding room. Please give us more!

[@cameronmcpeak5183]

Currently sitting on my shop floor staring at my kiln waiting to quench a camp knife I’m making. THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION!!!

[@unprankable666]

Funnily enough, I'm just watching this series now, and I actually got my glasses on GlassesUSA.

[@nibnob7507]

I like how Alec listens to all different things.

[@DroggabJustin]

From everyone in scotland! Tidy your bloody workshop Alec! 😋

[@antonissekeris8712]

I like the longer videos 15 to 20 mins is perfect keep it up and keep up the good vids

[@d.mat.zero6525]

The square type (1) look the best, while I’m a non glass user n Luxottica (the company that owns almost ALL glass wear) has their dark past to see them surface again by aiding great KZbinrs like Alec Steele is great to see.

[@mohdhafiz6030]

Can you make triangle forbidden twisted dagger?? I hope you'll make that dagger after this kris. I wishhhhhh!!😄

[@bearpuma9079]

Super cool making the plate for your grinder.

[@seemoshaik]

Are we just not going to talk about the song at 5:50 ??? Have been looking for this song everywhere

[@lukemoore8811]

"file your burrs" great public "surface" announcement

[@daveslifeover65]

Alec, love the music you play during the h/s segments.

[@ariekieser7162]

Great work Alec, I am a fan and I like your work and style. I am a junior blacksmith myself and I find your channel inspiring.

[@brandonolson6111]

Alec, the endmill you are looking for is referred to as bullmill or bull nose endmill. Flat bottom with a radius corner.

[@niila261]

Those round glasses look pretty fancy to me Alec! Suits you.

[@TheKeeg01]

The more square glasses! Also... Clean yo' workshop! Great series so far!

[@brandonbell1601]

The intro threw me off, the glasses brought me back, and the kris is still a damn cool build. Fantastic project

[@Ltifone2014]

The style endmill you're talking about could either be a bull nosed endmill or a corner radius endmill. The former has a large radius with a flat face, the latter is more or less a flat endmill with a small corner break.

[@J_Squatch]

Alec, that song about mountain dew isn't about the soft drink, it's about moonshine.

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

I would like to see some of the chips after an etching if they won't fall apart.

[@stevenweir9437]

Love the work, love the videos. I'd much rather watch your work than the news. Thanks for all you do

[@Tubajock2]

looks like today episode was a lesson in working smarter not harder. Thats my motto, why having done alot of mechanicing, welding, grinding and general making, I still have relatively soft hands. If im getting a callus, or hand abrasion, from doing something, im not working smart. (exception comes from repeated tasks with consistent form like Archery) As soon as a saw you put the sanding block in the vise I knew the light bulb had went off for ya.

[@Freizeitflugsphaere]

Your videos are so perfectly produced!

[@Kat_Van_Forge]

Freizeitflugsphäre Amazing EDITING 🔨

[@dylanparish9639]

Awesome glasses. I really want to see you teach Jamie some more especially so you have some more help in the workshop. The kris is awesome

[@austinmarshall9346]

*Not Sponsored By Mountain Dew. :) Love the videos Alec!

[@hanelyp1]

How many novice smiths will think that was Mountain Dew?

[@amychilders5170]

i wonder how many actually know the song he was using was referencing to moonshine than the soda mountain dew.

[@alt-bringer5198]

but, if it was dew, the carbonation would carry away all the smoo everyone knows that (sarcasam) but no, all us childeren of the late eightys recognize that stuff is actually ooze, from the TNMT movie its just been repackaged as "coolant" and told us its poison, so that we dont use it for its mutative effects

[@tomf3150]

And it can't be Moutain Dew, it is... Slurm !

[@taitano12]

The irony is that the name of the soda was inspired by the slang for moonshine. In fact, MD's original commercials directly referenced moonshine, up to and including "Pappy" drinking mountain dew from a jug. lol

[@seanmckeegan1923]

When Alec switched his glasses it kinda reminded me of the main character from the movie “Meet the Robinsons”

[@kippblair6767]

Alec, for small chamfer end mills, look for a "Bull End Mill" They have a very small radius on the bottom

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Love the more squared glasses on you! Great vid Alec!!

[@marties.9456]

I love the circled ones the most then the skinnier square ones

[@cpynch]

You need to design a shirt that just has the outline of your glasses and your hair with your makers mark under it. It'd be super cool.

[@trashhead2209]

That sanding montage was amazing

[@domivoe]

The round ones looked good on you :)

[@niila261]

THIS

[@roipp1]

14:52 the channel of EPIC sanding!!!! 😂😂

[@bearpuma9079]

Dude I accidentally turned off my notifications. Good thing I check regularly for new vids. Thanks, Alec. Keep the quality coming.

[@das2343]

Your fixing and building projects are awesome do more of them

[@thelazyengineer6705]

Im a simple man, I see Steele, I likey.

[@blasterracer817]

Alec, I know this is an older video now, but the endmill you were talking about with a slight radius is called a bull nose endmill.

[@USAUSAM82]

The smaller rounded glasses. Gives you that Harry Potter look but with much better looking hair.

[@thomasarussellsr]

My vote is for the third pair of glasses frames. They fit your face better.

[@christiansiebeck5628]

Alec is such a nice guy, liking comments and such. Really good job so far man! Really enjoyed your katana project. Greetings from South Africa! :D

[@helpigotaquestion]

Oh baby some Ralph Stanley II! Love it

[@OstravskeJelito]

Hey alex .. just a little tip , make that plate on belt grinder from glass ^_^ will lower the heat and you dont need to worry about snaping your belt

[@adriccochran4826]

I have a video idea! What about makeing a knife or something out of a railroad spike? Railroads spikes are easily accessible and thus would commonly be used by beginner black smiths, so it may help some people out and it'd be entertaining

[@spacestationz]

I like the second ones you showed, the slightly square shape looks really good on you, btw this is the perfect time for such a sponge I need new glasses and can't pay very much. Time to cast this playlist on my TV so I can check out the website

[@grntitan1]

Yeah buddy, just got home from work and a brand new Alec Steele vid pops up. Gonna be a great weekend!!!!

[@theusedbox]

watching your videos while my CNC machine runs is my favorite way to make money. ;)

[@isaaculmer6117]

An end mill that would help eliminate stress concentration is a bull nose end mill. It has a small radius on each tooth. Also.... I like the “Muse M Classic”

[@nosnos30]

"Hey, that's working lovelyly" 😂😂😂

[@jenksify]

I like the way you seem to have no problem with jumping in and modifying your equipment at the drop of a hat.

[@finnhuman888]

G'Day Alec! your videos are currently the only ones i look forward to every day and have notifications on for! I would love to see you make a gauntlet or a helmet or something of that regard, maybe potentially work on a whole suit of Armour potentially? Keep up the good work, its super inspiring!

[@linkthor5247]

his forge is to small for the large plates needed for armor. but small parts like (greeves/gauntlets) might work

[@Zubzero222]

Love watching your channel. It’s something I look forward to each day. I have an idea for you. Damascus steel with deer antler handled grill spatula!! If your interested in this project than I would be happy to send you a few antlers.

[@garrisoncrawford6986]

You got me on the "I cut too much" lol😂

[@champion3433]

I KEPT CLICKING ON TBE NEXT EPISODE TO HEAR THE INTRO OBER AND OVER AGAIN AND YOU MESSEX IT UP ;-;

[@zehph]

Whenever Jamie shows up in a video, you guys get a laugh outta me! Go Jamie! It was a very wise decision to get you in this team! 👌 P.S: Tidy your worshop mate! You'll thank yourself later...

[@howardgeorgejr]

Ps. Mountain dew is slang for moonshine here in the south. Love your videos by the way.

[@chernobyldiaries3203]

Like how south? Im from mississippi and mountain dew is just mountain dew

[@InstrucTube]

Ugh, my heart totally sank when you said "I cut off way too much." Don't do that to me, I was really sad for you for a minute. :P Great vid as always! Yeah, I've been getting my glasses online for a long time, but never from them. I'll have to look into it.

[@patmancrowley8509]

I like the black frame with the white arms. Snazzy! Oh, by the way, I appreciate your video's and your effervescent personality. Thanks so much!

[@hiperson5986]

This kid is going places in life and hes only 20 so he's got some life ahead of him

[@Darkstar.....]

8.00 you mean aircraft windows are rounded not square. Many early commercial planes went down due to the forces concentrated on a corner. Also there is a tiny hole in the inner pane of glass or acrylic as its double glazed and the pressure between panels needs to be equalized.

[@JohnDoe-on5ur]

Start a series where you forge the old way before tech and what they may have made in the past

[@taitano12]

WOW! That is one happy platen - what with it being beside itself and all... 130mm beside itself, to be precise.

[@kenji6594]

Hey Alec! If you are up to it after this build, why not challenge yourself to build something purely using hand tools! Anyway, love your stuff mate

[@evalenoyer]

I just love it when you start singing, it's beautiful and crazy, it's beautifully crazy...😂 oh and I like the pair with the white branches more... Bisous de France 🇫🇷

[@federicograziani6160]

Please continue using the black kinda square glasses, they are looking fabolous on you

[@bodford11]

Maybe your next small project should be a vise stop that would help when quickly wanting to reference perpendicular surfaces for alignment

[@andymiller1803]

Alec, you should make a bat'leth.

[@ShikamaruXT]

The music is the second best thing in his videos. Okay, maybe first.

[@alankreider9464]

Hey Alec, I would really like to see you make a blade from wootz steel. As a matter of fact I challenge you to this. I think you would have a ton of fun with this.

[@jacobcortright4466]

Looking good Alec! Will we see any non-weapons any time soon? Love seeing your practical/tool projects. But if the weapons must continue... Since you're a master of Damascus, might you try your hand at some San Mai patterns? Really cool contrast and almost smoky looking blades. Keep it up! Always incredible videos! You're the only TV show I watch!

[@MrOutdoorsman09]

The round pair makes you look almost like Harry Potter alec. Your a wizard alec

[@anuronironworks6164]

Just got in from spending all day in my workshop making a wooden mallet. My old one was super uuuugly :D

[@nickweaver88]

Alec, if you take a four or three, maybe a two flute endmill you can one order them with slight radius ground on the tips,($$$) or take a normal end mill and grind them by eye. Your literally just barely knocking the tips off. It will give you that radius you are looking to file in next to the guard.
