I Forged A Titanium Soup Ladle

[@Freeman-Dl70]

I didn't know I'd need a titanium ladle, until you made one.

[@LittleGreyWolfForge]

It’s aircraft grade too! It can fly if you want it too.

[@ericmitchell985]

Here we have an incredible video of doggo pumpkin footage. Also, some guy makes a ladle or something.

[@Forshledian]

I think you almost understated the properties of titanium. It will most certainly not poison you. Titanium is used in the medical field inside the human body for its extreme bio compatibility and very high corrosion resistance. In this case its “good thermal properties” are actually good because it has terrible thermal conductivity, keeping the handle cool. It’s totally overkill to make a ladle out of, but that is what make the ladle amazing. Edit - spelling.

[@Mr.Leeroy]

I wonder if rough unfinished Ti like that has the same level of medical properties compared to polished pieces (apart from being less abrasive for tissues ofc).

[@kanagawakenji7]

As a quadriplegic, I have a whole bunch of titanium in my neck... no complaints.

[@r4b4n4d4s]

​@@Mr.Leeroy in some applications where you expect bone growth to ensure a more stable interface with the implant the material used is porous or at least has a rough surface because bone adheres better to it (there's more places for it to grab to) for example in dental implants some of the parts that get screwed directly to the mandible have a porous part so that the bone grows into it and holds it in place

[@TheAetherOne]

Titanium looks so clean and satisfying when forging it without all the scale coming of like steel.

[@DrakeSingularity]

It looked delicious

[@gillieshooter4742]

ok... I'll admit it, you got me with the Squarespace transition this time lol

[@Merennulli]

Thank you for sharing the discovery of snow pumpkins with us. That was adorable. Also thank you for sharing forging a ladle. I've seen old (steel) ladles that look like about midway through your forging at 7:48 and now I understand how they got that look. The ones I saw growing up must have been made without much grinding back in the 1920s or 1930s (I'm not quite that old, but my grandmother is). My family in that time period was living in rural Missouri and I know they did their own metal repair work on a tractor from the 1920s so I'm pretty sure the hand forged metal pieces she had were made either there or in the nearest town. Sadly we don't have a lot of info and she didn't tell us a lot about that time period when she was still able to but it's nice to get a hint at how it came to be that way.

[@eddietalcott6302]

If you sharpen the last inch of the handle you can call it the "Bladel"!!!

[@ChipoSkippy]

A Will Stelter premium forged cookingware set sounds like a fantastic Christmas gift. Im glad to see that the titanium didn't fight you at all besides the sliver that stuck you. It can be spark heavy from what I've seen.

[@GalacticWoodsman]

Love the dull matte colours hot titanium makes. To receive a chunk of it from a legend like Michael Walker is a real treat, you’ve got some amazing friends and connections Will! Ladle looks great, personally a fan of the 22.5/80 volt blue you can get when anodizing but not everyone wants a blue spoon!

[@jonathanvanderpol1435]

The small sparks are so cool when you are hammering the titanium! Like a tiny sparkler!

[@supperwelder]

that is cool love the mate finish 😮😮 your pup at the end with the pumpkin in the snow was hilarious😅😅❤❤❤

[@johnoconnor4941]

Oooh, that was one sugary neat segway. They must love your effort, at Squarespace. Ingenious, just like your effort on the ladle. The draw, the swage work. Brilliant. Did you see what I did there, Will. Your style is contagious...

[@saginawdan]

1. Your segues into your advertisements are the best. 2. Camera work and editing are excellent. 3. Thank you! 👍👍👍

[@gordy15604]

Love the videography. Some really interesting camera angles in this one that I really liked.

[@Vault57]

You said it, Will! Your next project should be a Damascus Gandalf's Pipe! Maybe a piece of worked small diameter tube stock with threaded ends that the Damascus bowl can screw onto and a Damascus mouthpiece screwed on the other end.

[@robertgraham6481]

I love that you said the shape reminded you of Gandalf's pipe at the end, because at 5:45 it was already blowing smoke rings.

[@bmw61j60]

That was a linus tech tips level segue. I'm here for it

[@hendrikhanso]

Very cool little project. I love everything titanium

[@justinbanks2380]

Love how you start hammering on the hot titanium and it seems to be doing nothing! 😂 Then you're like, wait, I have lots of mechanical tools to hit harder! 😅

[@speeDBump1949]

Love the Dog😊

[@glennbrown1961]

Who knew dogs liked rolling pumpkins in a snow hole? That footage was bloody funny! Love your dog. G'day from Tasmania.....oh and a nice ladle too!

[@justinbanks2380]

Your transitions to ad reads are getting better and better! 😂

[@riddle451]

The camera work and editing on this video are especially good. A lot of really engaging camera angles. Also, titanium ladle is awesome.

[@hayestweed7143]

Would love to see it finished in that beautiful titanium blue heat treat. We’ll done, Sir!

[@jessemccabe8012]

The ad transitions are just too smooth for this world

[@mzaite]

I was watching you striking it barely cherry red and going "Ohh man that's way too cold!!!" Then I remembered "Oh yea it's a Ladle not a part for the space shuttle, it will be fine."

[@lukelofgren4108]

Definitely the coolest ladle ever and your dog tweaking out at the end was great! Reminds me of my dog, the body language when she's all feisty is identical.

[@quarlow1215]

Holy smokes it's an all in one channel. You got your forging. You got your mechanicing. You got your pooch entertainment and now it's a cooking channel too. Wonders never cease to amaze. Well pumpkins will be cheap now, I think I'll have to make a batch.

[@RoNix1333]

Thank goodness that the titanium spoon has excellent heat transfer properties... my steel spoons burn my fingers all the time when eating hot soup. What a relief!

[@liambohl]

The orange of hot titanium is perfect for Halloween! I love that color!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Excellent forging and great job on the soup. I loved the bonus pumpkin murder at the end 🙂

[@FarmsteadForge]

Nice ladle, it's perfect soup weather and your soup looks delicious.

[@GeorgeBP81]

For the Pumpkin soup, try adding carrots, a few sweet potatoes, boil them in orange juice, add some cinnamon and nutmeg, sugar to taste and some heavy cooking cream. It will be a sweet cream of pumpkin soup! I love it!

[@justinbanks2380]

Gotta be one of the first times someone forged their hammer handle off! Achievement unlocked Will!

[@miquerto]

That is a sweet ladle. Nice work, and thank you for sharing it.

[@Matt-ob8gj]

That hoodie looks cooozy

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing 😊

[@utahgeoff]

Top tier dog content at the end. Oh, and the ladle is cool too.

[@GeorgeBP81]

That forged look is awesome! In Copper and/or stainless steel I bet it would be a hit seller!

[@murmenaattori6]

Why would it not be a hit seller in titanium? Titanium has better corrosion and thermal resistance than even stainless steel, and leaches 0 toxic material while stainless steel still leaches chromium and nickel. The reason titanium is used in implants is because it does not react with the body in any way. One of the least toxic metals. Of course titanium is more expensive, so it cannot be made cheaply.

[@GeorgeBP81]

Cheaper and easier to work with.

[@murmenaattori6]

@@GeorgeBP81 Oh you meant hit seller as in the profits it makes, not units ordered. Sorry. By the way, copper should be avoided as cookware due to toxicity, it leaches when in contact with acidic foods. Most sauces are too strong to be used with copper. Copper cookware always comes coated with steel, teflon or traditionally tin.

[@GeorgeBP81]

@@murmenaattori6 I would like a copper pot coated with electrolysis silver.

[@DelinIlligen]

There is actually titanium cookware which is made for outdoor use. I bet it is not for long travels, but it is some durable stuff used around the campsite.

[@murmenaattori6]

Much better for long travels because of it's low weight. Of course it's not as strong against impacts as stainless steel but it has better corrosion resistance and unlike stainless steel, titanium does not leach chromium and nickel.

[@whoshotashleybabbitt4924]

That transition. Damn. Worth the price of admission right there!

[@caseymiller1040]

Wow. Great ladle and sounds like amazing soup. My only advice, get an immersion blender. Makes it SOO much easier than transferring back and forth to a regular blender.

[@nathant4659]

The segue into square space, gold

[@jaypearman9528]

Sometimes I don't get the sponsor Segway, I gues I'm just a square stuck in my own space............ahh😉

[@garychaiken808]

Great job 😊

[@arminrichard1836]

There should be a whole series of you forging titanium kitchen utensils.

[@stevenwest1494]

You noticed how hard it was to forge, with the hammer, before getting it up hotter, and seeing it become very easy to forge. I remember you and Alec making things from titanium. Ah those days

[@jdrains16]

They use a fiberglass wheel for titanium jewelry, it gives it the semi-gloss gray color titanium is known for. It would be a beautiful finish for the ladle.

[@scotadam]

I am here for the Will Shelter cooking show. (With his doggo assistant.)

[@justinbanks2380]

Those sparks when grinding! That's why titanium is used in fireworks

[@pinball16]

Looks nice, +1 for LOTR reference and pumpkin soup.

[@matejmechl9345]

Those squarespace ad openings...always got me😄😄😄

[@sleepib]

One clove? I'd use at least half a bulb in a pot that big.

[@jimcorbett3764]

"..so, it's not going to poison you, probably-" That gives me confidence. I love how Will demonstrates the difference between a man and a woman giving a recipe. What's great is, I totally understood his directions.

[@danielkingery2894]

"Delightful" is exactly how I would describe this melded video content Will.😎

[@natehenneman6766]

Looks soup-er Will! You're the man!

[@OlneyaTesota]

Will is more than a fine knife maker. At 83 years of age I will not see what this young man will do in his career. I can only envision what he will accomplish but I think we are watching greatness. JC🌵

[@jkelley012]

We need the return of Willi vs the Chilli! absolutely amazing ladle and cool video!

[@DH-xw6jp]

Note to readers: It is unwise you put your willie in chili, severe burns may result.

[@georgewilmore7599]

Just in time for winter soup season.

[@RPrice_OG]

Mmm, pumpkin soup. I got a butternut squash in the kitchen right now waiting to become soup.

[@OverlordMaggie]

Me, watching this video intro, eating soup straight out of the pot I heated it in: *goes for more soup*

[@squishy312]

You guys got about 4 inches more than we did in Billings. Looks like Marty got some tasty pumpkin snacks. Apparently both cats and dogs love pumpkin. It's good for digestion and best for when they have gland issues. That ladle sure looked fantastic. I love how titanium forges so clean. It's satisfying for some reason.

[@mike-carrigan]

I work in an aerospace machine shop and pre grind some cast titanium parts for Blue Origin. I've had enough titanium grindings and splinters embedded in my skin that I should be some kind of superhero 😁 Cool ladle. I think it is neat that you can forge titanium. Most people don't realize it.

[@JETWTF]

I sure hope titanium won't poison me, a surgeon put 2 titanium pins in my right scaphoid.

[@MASI_forging]

Great work dude 🙂🙂

[@Lightray110]

Marty really loves Pumpkin doesn't he LOL

[@benkirkland5354]

I’m absolutely gonna get my dog a rolly pumpkin.

[@unifairsum21]

Would be cool to see it with a sandblasted finish and heating it to get some color to come out

[@jdhaliwal11]

That's what I was expecting

[@stevendelvecchio3721]

Great video. Very nice ladle. Got to admit, I am a bit jealous you already have snow. None here in Illinois, but we may get some tomorrow. It would be a great Halloween treat if we did. Keep up the great work Will.

[@Jiminycroquet]

came for the ladle forging, stayed for the recipes

[@lolh4x]

1:32 Essential for carrying soup long distances

[@micah06v8]

I find it fascinating that there was almost absolutely no forge scale on this thing while you were making it!

[@FerdoFulgosi]

Oh, by the way, give that doggo a big treat from me, will you? He/she is adorable!

[@pgreenawalt]

One of the few times it sounded like you gave that big power hammer the full beans.

[@AFrickinDwarf]

Gods, your sponsor segues are insane 😂😂

[@TurbineResearch]

Well done ❤

[@ragamuffin09]

Just one clove of garlic in your soup? You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers!

[@drewstotts7087]

Respectfully requesting a full length video of mic'd up Marty playing

[@ItsBugtronic]

Will you have entered a highly debated topic, is Chilli a soup. The greatest minds have been locked in a battle of wits about this for centuries now. I leave you with this one thought, have you ever heard of soup fries or soup dogs? I rest my case 😂

[@cavemanvi]

i swear to god when you got the titanium sliver in your finger i thought it was a square space ad. lol

[@JSGilbert]

I need more titanium things in my life.

[@marksmallman4572]

had no idea this was a cookery channel!

[@redrolo149]

Sweet, I just made Titanium soup, so I need a ladle.

[@anon_y_mousse]

Did you roast the seeds while you were at it? I feel like I need a fancy ladle now.

[@joepiejaapie]

Awesome to see that that swageblock comes from holland, does it have any more specific town or maker info on it?

[@justinbanks2380]

Will is testing out a side channel. Cooking with Will And I'm down for it!

[@miless2111sutube]

interesting forging process with no scale etc. Surprised you didn't go for the rainbow colours :) Cool work as always.

[@davidwilliams5749]

A new episode of Will vs. Chili made be necessary!

[@justin_ray]

New show...Cooking with Will 😉

[@Zogg1281]

1. If Gandalf's pipe had a bowl the size of that ladle, the amount of tobacco that it would hold would probably go a LONG way to explaining a lot of things about Gandalf. You would also probably never need to sleep again with that much nicotine running through you 😅 2. Your dog is so funny with that pumpkin 😂😂😂😂 I wasn't sure how I felt about turning that much titanium into a ladle, but you've changed my mind totally, that ladle is sweet!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@Matt-ob8gj]

Dude, you should forge a .22lr gun!

[@Grandwigg]

Watching that bowl get forged out did much to assuage my guilt over missed pun opportunities.

[@brettfontaine4681]

“That does not want to move”. *PRESS SMASH*

[@stilllife8]

Time to fight the Smelter Demon with it.

[@justinbanks2380]

That ending! Dad, it won't sit still!

[@macedindu829]

Few things carmelized onions can't improve upon.

[@MAMOJAGaming]

Dig your videos bro🤙 greetings from norway 🤘

[@johnscott2834]

If any rogue pumpkins wander onto the property we now know they will be dealt with by Marty.

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

Swiftly and severely

[@stevan7308]

Now a cooking channel. Lol nice ladle bro.

[@jdrains16]

If only you’d finish forged it on the titanium anvil Alec made..! 😂
