Every time I see a Will upload I get excited! Alec's channel is just not the same without him.

[@tomypreach]

Very true !!

[@BillRodgers2]

Truth

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

It’s not the same, but that’s not always a bad thing, I’ve really been enjoying his stuff since he’s been back in England! I’m excited to collaborate with him next time he’s in Montana 🔥

[@steintotenkopf]

same!

[@bobrobmarc.-.966]

True

[@Ajyn4Life]

Will is really killing it to be honest. I was concerned when he and Alec went separate ways. However, Will is dynamic as hell and really stands on his own. Really loving where your channel is going! Also looking forward to other collabs.

[@Waiakalulu1]

What's really cool is how totally at ease Jacob is in his workspace. There's no wasted motion in his movements no matter what the task is at hand. When you see the level of passion and attention to detail someone brings to their work, it's really easy to see how this one man so inspired others to likewise hone their skills. I'm very proud of the people like this in our country, and I'm grateful to our forefathers who made possible these creative spaces these craftsmen can thrive in.

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

He’s a real master craftsman

[@frankierzucekjr]

@@WillStelterbladesmith I can tell. As a carpenter, we love our hammers. But I can tell you blacksmiths do too. Can you make a Framing hammer, I'd But it lol.

[@norafaram1929]

Will, I loved this video! Watching my son in his process was amazing. I like your personality and energy… more please!

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

He’s an amazing craftsman and a good man! You did a good job raising him!

[@jaypearman9528]

You go Mom👍

[@Radio_Zombie]

That anvil ... its SO quiet. No ring. No zing. No Ding. Just that satisfying fump. And ... a beautiful hammer of course ;) Thanks Will

[@Freeman-Dl70]

That anvil surprised me with that dull thud. What a perfect set up he's got.

[@mickeymantle46]

Will, I thought you were a modern day craftsman , BUT bud your gonna have to take a back seat to that guy, WOW !!

[@Aco747lyte]

My teen daughter and I are hobbyist blacksmiths, but you (and Alec) have inspired my Molly so much that she's taking up 'smithing up as a career on an apprenticeship scheme locally. She's also is a Christian and I thank you from my heart for the *massive* inspiration you have been to her. *Hugs* - all the very best from Wendi in the UK 💛

[@berlinetta350]

I ordered a hammer from him about a year ago and I love it! It's nice to see his shop. I know he was having some health issues back then, I hope he's doing well now.

[@mitchellsulz-martin1197]

I have to say that the quality of your filming and editing has improved immensely since your first video on the channel. This video truely captured the passion, artistry and raw dedication of this man's work. Well done Will, very well done.

[@jdougn2255]

Selection and volume of the sound track also "felt" very appropriate.

[@jamesgoddin8880]

Man, that was some super clean and precise forging. Lovely work.

[@mannsdan]

Will almost never makes a mistake. he proves he is human at 7:07

[@danshavit4510]

The man is clearly a master craftsman. Thanx will

[@jaypearman9528]

That's another great video, you can make edged weapons, hammers,and restore old tools over and over. No need to reinvent the wheel 👍❤

[@SamU_115]

Another incredible video! The part where the hammer was quenched on one side blew my mind! I would never have thought of working on something that way!

[@charlesjmouse]

It's very satisfying to see a craftsman do a complete forging that only needs sharpening rather than shaping on the grinder.

[@dcalsbeek5831]

The opposite of sour is salt. So a couple grains of salt in a 'bitter' cup of coffee acts like a catalyst to efectively remove the bitter. since only a few grains [crystals] are used there's no 'saltiness added. Try it!

[@kohlhaascustomknives9464]

I’m watching this while hand fileing my first dagger. Well done will, I get exited every time you upload!

[@leewat3742]

First sew seconds of panning around Jacobs workshop I liked him already, I spotted a Slayer banner on the wall. And he makes a damn good looking warhammer. Good job guys.

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

As soon as you see the Slayer banner you know you're dealing with a man of passion, dedication, and great character.

[@owensparks5013]

Loving the layout and organisation in that shop. 👍

[@Corncob_Jones]

His forging skills are awesome! His mustache is excellent!! 🥸

[@organbuilder272]

Will is a man unto himself. Yes, He and Alex made a great team. Two talents, one goal. It is a shame that they split up. They could have stayed together and done work independantly as well as co-operatively for the big projects.

[@cacs99]

It was really cool to see how he had that hammer down to an art with the process with all the fixtures and tools, thanks for sharing!

[@tiddybearkush]

An axe handle bump at the end of the shaft would make it swing better with a better grip. And a tactile feel when turning it around to use the spike.

[@diceblue6817]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Looking forward to MUCH MORE!!

[@Stefanhallusa]

War Hammers are so awesome!! Love this build🤘

[@babcockcopper]

Double the talent right there. Amazing work

[@Trollsky]

Now these are some serious skills !

[@kassiog.6595]

says the man, Trollskyy himself, i love your blades, keep it up!

[@texastaterbug5395]

Ok. I hadn't been particularly interested in Cometeer, but I brew Counter Culture coffee every morning. Maybe I'll have to get some for my next backpacking trip.

[@jamesoneill10]

Modern History TV did a video showing exactly why a war hammer didn't have to be a big lump of metal to be a frighteningly effective horseback weapon.

[@hulking_presence]

Nice acting in that ad, man. As we say here in Russia, a talented man is talented at everything.

[@thomaseskelsen1362]

Cool hammer! Nice choice of music for the finale. Thanks Jacob & Will :)

[@erictjones]

Nice work Will. Please make some unburned handles in the future?

[@NickWheeler33]

It's crazy how easy Jakob makes it look.🤯🤯🤯🔥

[@GerjanDeEerste]

Now that's a tight & clean workshop!

[@markoconnell804]

Thanks for making a video. Film the class.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Always good to see ur videos will. Very nice job. This project turned out very well there. Cant wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. God bless.

[@isaaclandau5751]

The tooling and process is so well thought out!

[@yota4004]

the horn n that anvil is huge.

[@saginawdan]

Will....Ignore the haters and they'll go find something else to hate. You're doing things right. Peace brother. ✌️

[@bthebos1052]

Production Value of these videos has gone up tremendously!🔥Nice Work

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

Always appreciate a new Will video!

[@WiredWorkshop]

Another awesome video! I get closer and closer to buying a forge every time I watch one of your videos!

[@kennethplatz5843]

Super epic build!

[@garyb351]

The use of Strauss is perfect for the ending!! Good stuff man.

[@tonybrandt8850]

Part of building a war hammer is to be well prepared for the wars to come. Good job. Look me up when the war begins; I offer warm clothing for the cold times.

[@rafaelbittencourt2823]

Damn, that's a clean forging

[@christophermcowen2660]

Finally a weapon! Love what you do Will!

[@vyr01]

Awesome Hammer. Good to see more appreciation for the saw rasp.

[@kassiog.6595]

should have put some sheet metal and padding on the coconouts to demostrate why these were so efective againts armor

[@cerealport2726]

Will forging war hammers, Alec Steele forging torture devices. Hmm... trouble's brewin'...

[@draven86]

Or you just like making drama out of nothing

[@cerealport2726]

@@draven86 don't look up, there's a joke passing over you head.

[@TJForehand]

That was awesome to watch, thanks Will!

[@nathanfeusse]

What finish did you put on the head? It looked really good.

[@aaron2709]

Your friend has light in his shop.

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

It’s a pretty good set up!

[@CSmothersForge]

Will and Jakob in the same video, two thumbs up!

[@NateD77]

That was a good one Will.

[@ryda49]

So I'm currently in the process of building my battle Hammer it's a mixture of an old USSR ax and some 4140 chromoly my question is I'm welding 4140 to the ax head how should I heat treat and harden it should I heat treat the whole thing together and then just harden the ax head and Hammer face separate also should it be quenched in water or oil any advice is greatly appreciated

[@Gawonii1Austencao]

@1:12 you open the pod and dump the grounds into your cup... does it not work in a keurig?

[@j.t.4072]

Will, I love how you spotlight other awesome craftsmen. I found Kyle Royer that way from another channel spotlighting his work. Oh, and don't mind the haters. God bless!

[@micahbloomquist3369]

Love your soli deo Gloria in the background!

[@AdmiringObserverR]

that hammer would stamp a perfect peanut butter cookie

[@nicksmacro]

Good god that a fast hydraulic press! (5:10) Show me a video on how he made that monster.

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

The press is a Coal Iron 25 ton 🔥

[@billofalltrades2633]

That is beautiful work! Great video!

[@awolfalone2006]

Send one of those to Demolition Ranch.

[@chchchscott1]

Coconut sounds good.

[@georgecuyler7563]

I have a cool idea, I came up with an Ulu/brass knuckles. But I'm not a blacksmith.

[@adwilliams1987]

Will, I don't know if this would be possible or if it would be a lot of work but I think it would be really cool to have descriptions in the closed captions like Primitive Technologies used to do. It may say like "fire burns the wood to add ..." or "using small strikes to enlarge the engravings on the hammer face" etc. For those of us who are totally ignorant of the technical processes that would be pretty cool.

[@boldger13]

I enjoy watching collaborations! Thanks Will.

[@RatelLaw]

Thank you for sharing

[@PANDORAZTOYBOKZ]

As much as I miss the Alec days, I absolutely LOVE the solo content. Can't wait for more!

[@jameswilliams7593]

You've prolly made a video about it somewhere. Or alec did. What became of the Fairbanks power hammer?

[@josephrichardson7366]

how about, some Damascus steel, sunglasses? tired of some shitty plastic, flimsy metal ones but some forged ones would be definitely interesting haha

[@maneotis4g63t]

Yesss I was waiting for some forging!

[@DustyKorpse]

Would of been nice to see the hammer go against some plate/sheet steel (faux armour) 🔨

[@tonyn3123]

Beautiful piece of work. Not a type of hammer I would ever need, but still, a piece of art.

[@scotttaylor1957]

Hey Will. Missing the days of when you and Alec used to do videos together. As far as Alec goes what's happened to the Montana workshop, the future wife to be that you made a ring for, Your merch store you worked so hard on, the dog you had in Montana and good old Will Stelter? To me here in NZ it just looks like Alec has walked away from everything and everyone. I hope you're okay. Scott

[@Cragun.]

I wonder why there is a grid on the flat surface of that hammer.

[@Jellooman]

Super to watch

[@jackyoung1155]

PLEASE do a Steele vs Stelter

[@bwhip]

Those Nimba anvils are nice. They're made a couple hours from where I live.

[@soullessone_edc6226]

My father and his father both did black smithing work out of necessity and I've always wanted to learn of course you know that was all before I was born 🤣

[@braxtonburchard3701]

Will needs to grow a stache

[@Gimpy24x7]

Smashing good time

[@lancelandis227]

Why do you burn the handles on the hammers?

[@sflowers99gmail]

Cool closing scene with the Blue Danube. Did you consider using 'Also Sprak Tharathustra' by Strauss? Then I would have been a direct tie into the classic movie: 2001 A Space Odyssey.

[@husk79]

awesome video!!! 🔨

[@dustinmurphy82able]

Great work Will! Tbh I like this channel more than Alec’s lol dont tell him

[@Don_Rodrigo44]

i love you working with other smiths get that knowledge brother

[@RussoleumObscurum]

What are the groves across the head of the hammer for, other than leaving sick marks on skulls?

[@cameronallen9948]

Counter culture is roasted right near me so cool it's now country wide.

[@srut667]

Good job Will! Keep up the good work.

[@stansterkendries1250]

How much did it sell for in the end?

[@wkjeeping9053]

Were is your face shield when grinding

[@magiik45]

2.54m of adds, what a champ✌🏼

[@CristobalJJunta]

make a classic framing hammer, like Larry Haun's hammer

[@johnthemainguy9059]

Wow, that is one extremely talented smith!

[@danjennings5068]

...It's a really cool historical weapon with a neat history behind them... If only you'd taken the opportunity to give us some of that history in a voiceover while he was making the hammer!!

[@Wootangtw]

That’s pretty awesome…

[@edwardmorley8359]

Nice work

[@TheWolfster001]

Loved the hammer build.. I had a real war hammer, it was very old and huge, it weighed over 15 lb's. Sold it I was offered a stupid high amount.. That being said.. I love your journeys to see what other master forgers make, so cool.. Thank you for sharing.. Would love to see something with a WOOTZ master..

[@Unknownvillian___]

I want one now
