[@JanForest]

As a musician I must say it is sooooo satisfying when the power hammer strikes in rhythm with the music...I have noticed this in most of your videos. Great editing! Thanks!!

[@Krommandant]

I know right! It's incredibly satisfying to watch!

[@mikalstensen5462]

My all time favourite Alec quote; "the great thing about blacksmithing is that when you have problems, you fix them with hammers"

[@gavinddd2070]

Mikal Østensen next months T-Shirt idea?!

[@alfiemillersharp]

aka Jeremy Clarkson

[@ZackiSnipes]

Editing quality on point

[@seantap1415]

Yess its getting a lot better.

[@ZackiSnipes]

This channel deserves so much more

[@seantap1415]

Agreed ,but i think it will come....He has good peeps along for the ride and that makes all the difference...cheers

[@JamiePopple]

Cheers Zack!!

[@SHRTLES]

Never seen a Damascus pizza cutter. you should make one

[@Thephantomewell]

Agreed, that would be very interesting indeed !

[@Krommandant]

That's exactly what I tought of when I saw the spurs!

[@robroy5729]

I think he already made one.

[@Tramz14]

3 years later and you’ve been granted your wish

[@debbiebissel50]

Alec I was a machinist for 40 yrs. 34 were at Domino sugar who was owned by Tate&Lyle a few years ago. We were considered inside/outside machinist, We would go out in the refinery see what was wrong with equipment have the mechanic pull it out and we would make new parts and reassemble equipment. One minute we would be swinging a 30 pounder, pouring babbitt bearings and 10 minutes later machining a piece of 17-4 s.s. I've been watching you for a while now and I have always taken pride in my craftsmanship and pride in my work. It makes my heart feel good to see a young man who works the way you do and will not consider ( that's close enough). Thank you and I follow you nightly keep up the good work.

[@thethoughtemporium]

How you maintain such high levels of energy I will never know. But you channel is great! Very fun to watch. No clue how you manage to put out a new video daily. For me once every other week is already a ton of a work. Keep up the great work!

I love how affirmative and supportive you were with Jamie!!!! 😍😍😍

[@maddog040400]

Demascus spoon for whoever cooks the best lunch :) hole in one

[@Lunas2525]

no full cutlery set knife spoon and fork

[@tylerasmus9587]

Or spork?

[@koosh6876]

I honestly wanna see a competition chopper with diagonal pattern with maybe steel blue on a nice polished piece of damascus

[@CalvinBacon]

YES! I'm loving the little battle of the cooks that's going on between jamie and Sam :D

[@vharrald]

Paul 5 in golfing terms, a spoon is a 3 wood

[@BM-yy8db]

I like seeing Jamie learn blacksmithing. It's both a fun tutorial for the viewer, and it's great seeing Jamie learn

[@JamiePopple]

It's been great fun trying new stuff, I'm sure it'll continue Ben!

[@jonathanmagee33]

The music and editing make this the most entertaining channel for blacksmithing I've seen. I've never worked with metal or been near a shop, but these videos make me want to try.

[@firebird8600]

I've never seen anyone so excited about making a golf club. (Granted, this is the first golf club I've ever seen being made) I'm hoping that someday I'll have a job that I can be as excited about as you are with blacksmithing.

[@bradleynorton9289]

WHAT???!!!??? I just got back into golf and seriously thought yesterday that a putter would've been a fun thing to watch you make!!!! NOW I NEED ONE..... or maybe one that's copper with the heat treat colors on it..... or both... at the same time.

[@Aielo98]

I like how Alec teaches stuff. Every hit from Jamie was followed by a cumpliment

[@TyrelHatfield]

There is a generation of kids wanting to be blacksmiths because of you. Bravo!

[@benjaminschwendiman5635]

I hate golf but couldn't stop watching! The love of blacksmithing overcomes all!

[@ryanpeterson5982]

Loved the close ups of the billet under the power hammer!

[@wrux]

Love the intro, 10/10 acting

[@LtGrandpoobah]

For a brit... ;)

[@wrux]

whats that supposed to mean?

[@Popsy1972]

Brit actors are world class my friend....

[@carlislethecumbrians9135]

[@InstrucTube]

I've always preferred Burlington Coatfactory.

[@yellow-harold8965]

Oh my days yes! I love it when the video is edited so the power hammer hits the steel in tact with the music ^-^ Lovely video Alec!

[@imagift]

So excited for this Putter! Can you make a set of irons? Maybe make the die and strike them out? A whole new meaning to Damascus blades!!!!!

[@lyulf0]

i love that blacksmith fact, probably would be an awesome t-shirt slogan? Made a mistake? Fix it with hammers!

[@jimmarlow5851]

I think just - fix it with hammers!

[@vharrald]

Jim Marlow how about, "blacksmiths hammer out their troubles"

[@fyrelorde]

Stop! Hammer time!

[@strayingboi5389]

If in doubt beat it out

[@jimmarlow5851]

Straying Boi yes!

[@Christian-cz9bu]

It's nice to see Jaime getting completely into the swing of things over there!

[@scottlowe5961]

Everyone should enjoy making as much as you Alec.

[@Bostonaholic]

More intros like this one. That was FANTASTIC!

[@developmenttesting2236]

This is what I love about this channel, and kind of miss with the newer videos- all of the explanation of why you are doing each thing you are doing, as opposed to slow-mo artistic shots and no description of why or how the smithing technique us being done.

[@gentilknives8907]

Cool intro

[@asksolas816]

hi joe

[@paulobiriba]

12:08 made me remember of my friend's shop. When something is stuck or needs some force we usually say that we're going to find a way , and then there is this hammer labeled "a way" on the tool board.

[@brammeke569]

You are so god damn excited and friendly towards everyone you converse with. What a great quality in a person! Keep it up lad!

[@weldingbiker1]

You are a miracle worker, you made something about golf interesting.!! Now if the master golfers had to make their own clubs before play then it would be interesting to watch the dull game.

[@weezerfan999]

The way you worked with Jamie with the sledge hammer. You can see how much of a gifted and amazing teacher you are. Learning from someone as passionate as you would be amazing.

[@Capt_calvin]

Hey Alec could you please make a Damascus billot out of all your cut offs?

[@AidanGames]

Calvin Sacha YES THIS WOULD LOOK SO COOL

[@Krishale357]

It is truly therapeutic to watch you create art. Thanks for all your videos Alex.

[@happyradish1894]

I really thought that reverse edited power hammer strike looked so cool. Keep up the great work everyone, I'm loving all the videos.

[@austynsteffensen4696]

the energy this kid has is awesome. makes the most dull projects so much more entertaining. he was meant for the internet. like if you agree.

[@lrooker2009]

Haha your excitement for this project is infectious! Great work!

[@alexabbey1]

You are a extraordinarily hard working content maker. My eight year old daughter likes your videos. I like the way you yourself are learning as you go with the videos. It would be cool if your KZbin influence could get you inside the GoT blacksmith's shop.

[@IRmeterman]

The past 3 videos have been SOOOOO good. Loving the involvement of Sam and Jamie in front of the camera and helping out in the shop.

[@singJJBplay]

And Jamie continues on his journey toward becoming a Master Blacksmithematographer. Join us next time for part three of this thrilling adventure serial, "The Curse of the Flying Sledge Head."

[@JamiePopple]

I used the Pilkington the other day! (Shameless instagram plug, you missed the story)

[@singJJBplay]

SWEET!!! (Shame I'm not on Instagram.) Big tools are so much fun!

[@Mr6Sinner]

This is probably my favorite episode yet. Loved the part about teaching jamey

[@AutoBrawn]

I love it when the power hammer is in sync with the music! Great job guys!

[@thewaleb55]

You should do a butterfly knife next!😀

[@joecoastie99]

Kudos to The Jamie. Nice editing work. Good job swinging the persuader too....even if you looked like Bono doing it

[@Joel-hr1uw]

New t shirt idea: "When you have a problem in blacksmithing, you solve it with hammers!" :)

[@tomte33]

Any problem can be solved with a large enough hammer.

[@carlislethecumbrians9135]

I got 99 problems, but my forging ain't one.

[@bigwave2975]

How about, "I got 99 problems, I fix them with hammers"

[@tomte33]

Bigger IS better, just sayin'.

[@Matthewh801]

oel a

[@steve_seguin]

PUTTER!! So glad you made this.

[@nataliebrown3511]

I love how positive and enthusiastic Alec is. Love your videos! Been watching them for a while and I've loved to see your creativity and skill evolve! Keep at it from Atlanta, Georgia!

[@golf3654]

Who’s watching in 2018 and I play golf and I would love to have this Alec Steele like this so he sees it

[@LukeHealy]

How do you stay so damn positive and peppy? Its drugs isnt it!? It must be drugs. Tell me its drugs!

[@kyleluccasen1562]

DRUGS!!!!

[@real_wakawaka]

nope its all the propane in the air ;)

[@monstercommenter9587]

It called youth!

[@molegrip3860]

He mainlines Red Bull straight into his eyeballs every breakfast, lunch & dinner time.......either that, or he is just super happy that he's 19 years old and making a perfectly decent living playing with his favourite toys in an awesome workshop every single day.

[@LukeHealy]

Damn chirpy hard working youths!!

[@jonahabbott6992]

Jamie great attention to detail in the power hammer/montage scenes! Awesome work

[@michaelhill1176]

Alec it is wonderful to see how excited you got with this project great job man

[@ryanwestgarth1835]

Great video Alec. Something tells me that you need to open up the workshop to training days. You have obviously been missing it fella. Jamie you did well with the sledgie mate. I guess you may become an apprentice blacksmith without even knowing it.

[@JamiePopple]

Cheers Ryan! It's so much fun learning new stuff!

[@iiTzMlke]

I must say I can never get tired of seeing that scale falling off of the billet of steel. Just feels so right.

[@sgtyancey4802]

Love your videos. Your energy and enthusiasm is so refreshing keep up the awesome work man.

[@sirtblairjr]

Hi Alec, I like the Damascus that you make. You can make alot if cool things with it. Making a putter for golf is way to cool. Outstanding job.

[@BernieFromTheInternet]

12:06 this reminds me of a good quote i said once. "If i've learned anything from blacksmithing, it's that you can solve any problem by hitting it hard enough [and in the tight places] "

[@TimothyKernicky]

Editing is always on point, but this was extra on point!

[@JamiePopple]

Cheers Timothy!!

[@MrMunkyMeat]

I love all of your projects. Brilliant sir, simply brilliant.

[@Sooch694]

Alec Steele, you flat out ROCK!!!

[@TheGirlwiththepants]

Love the shop set up. Can’t wait to have my own soon

[@chrishansen5589]

I would love to have this putter in my collection...drooling over it. Nice work!

[@deputydog640]

Love the music and cinematography at the power hammer!

[@anthonyraye5831]

Would love to see a series of you trying to make a whole set over time…. Be super cool to see….

[@joshuay9267]

I broke part of my foot today and your attitude was just what I needed to make my day a little bit better!!!

[@jaytonbennett9722]

Dude never stop making videos, I'm obsessed fr

Ooh, now I wanna see a damascus hockey stick...

[@shoonger001]

@@InstrucTube or Happy's putter...

[@rossjlee]

Hey Alec, Im a big fan of your channel. Your talent and enthusiasm is unmatched on youtube and watching your videos is one of the highlights of my day. I work at a golf course in my home city and I am also looking for a new putter! If you would like to see that putter put to good use send it my way. It would be an honor to have a club your made in the bag!

[@JB88-]

Wow, first video I've seen from this guy. The editing it top tier, honestly I could watch for days. Bravo!

[@chriscastagner1]

I don't know what it is but,there is something calming about watching the power hammer in slow motion.

[@OldToughDW]

My favorite quote is, "We have no problem so large or so small that it can't be solved with the proper application of explosives or force" Just substitute A HAMMER for "explosives or force" and you have a blacksmith's proverb.

[@KillerTaipan1]

The way you toss around your metal and letting it hit the ground all the time. It surprises me that you don't have more cracks or chips

[@mikabuck9866]

Love your video's Alec! Always look forward to see what you are going to make. Have an absolutely wonderful day!

[@jrp4585]

Your video quality is something to strive for.

[@PoorCoyotee]

Not sure which impresses me more... The quality and editing or the actual work you're doing, great videos keep it up!

[@noahmoss6634]

Loved the even more action packed video Alec !!!

[@angrytwizzlers4039]

Good looking golf bat my friend!!!

[@draven86]

would love to see you forge a Damascus steel mace

[@S0m0neRand0m]

Jamie's editing powers really started to show in this one

[@mikewilliamson7433]

Love the small projects!!

[@omnaraiya]

Found this channel recently and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Would love to see (and potentially purchase) a Damascus pick guard for an electric guitar... preferably a Stratocaster or Telecaster style. Cheers!

[@Brian18741]

The quality of the episodes keeps just getting better and better, you're on to a winner there! Keep it up!

[@simonfolkers2218]

I would love to watch you making a damascus Steel katana, big thanks for your great Videos!

[@jeremyhalter6989]

I dig the editing under the power hammer, lining it up with the beat. Keep it up Alec, great channel!

[@Kovanoid]

Love absolutely everything about this video! Keep doing a great job!

[@kendavis8046]

Nice video, and it is fun to watch someone having so much fun!

[@way6587]

Forging Brad is earning his keep.

[@Teewrecks420]

jamie love how you match the power hammer shots to the beat of the music

[@helmicah]

Love your Work Alec. Keep it up.

[@chrisferguson4949]

8:30 Also remember to avoid hitting yourself in the 'jewels' with end of the handle as you strike. ;)

[@jackreeves3001]

Cool project, lots of fun!

[@paultouya6552]

Love the music in the first part of the forging

[@MrDzodanh]

I really like the way he edited video and music :D

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

This is something that I think a lot of Country Clubs would love to award as trophies for tournaments!

[@xjestr6383]

Jamie as a striker FTW!!! Put him to work!! lol Good job man not everyone does so good striking their first time.

[@thatguyoverthere531]

That first shot was really well edited

[@bodie488]

Always a learning experience watching your video's

[@MrSwift2568]

Some good gags, and some... Clearly ToT has taught you guys some things. Keep it up!

[@didin9315]

Great video! As always;) I have started my first Damascus last night at the schools forge. Sadly we don't have a power hammer......

[@Scou73r]

To go along with your Golden Spatula, you should consider doing a set of grilling tongs, and then a set of utensils (forks, knives, spoon, etc.) It would really test your fine motor skills and detail work, plus you'd get a *really* nice set of utensils. Either out of stainless or copper.

[@MrCrosserdog]

So awesome man! Love the work

[@l0rd0ccultus]

Damascus steel brake and clutch lever for my bike please :P Also, Jamie is the perfect addition to the crew! I enjoy watching you three all have a laugh together!

[@mattyt9999]

You guys seem to be having a lot more fun since the move to the new workshop

[@andrewfolz3697]

YESSS! I wanted a sand wedge but a putter will be awesome too!
