Making Damascus with Alec Steele!

[@AlecSteele]

So much fun! Utter blast hanging out with you both 🎉🙏

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was an amazingly fun week! Thank you for the good times and the learnin's!

[@ShadowVipers]

Alec Steele So ballpark about how much material would you say you lose from the original mass of steel when making Damascus (oxidation, offcuts [from restack], grinding, etc.)?

[@SuperDavidEF]

Alec Steele Thanks for doing this collaboration and introducing me to these two. I'm having a great time here! I'd love to see you do another collab with them in the future.

[@theislandworkshop8453]

haha yer you guys will have to pop over to the isle of wight the next time you are in the UK

[@DIYPD]

Amazing video guys!!!

[@xeanluxcrille6847]

You know...for a steelsmith, Alec is adorable! And you and Alec have the same happy energy, so arorable! 😍

[@biomcanx1]

"Bingo Bango Chap...that's a jolly good job!" Awesome! This looked like a fun collaboration between all you guys!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was SO fun :D and we learned a ton. Excited to get a mini blacksmithing setup in our shop one day

[@biomcanx1]

Heck yeah! Keep it going, the world can always use more smiths!

[@CloudyMao]

I love how you blended elements of Alec's style of video with your own (I've noticed some of this blending with your other collabs too) it shows some real appreciation and interest while adding your own brand of wonderful in these co-projects, wonderful video, thank you.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! We do our best 😁

[@MaltandMake]

It's so cool to see the difference in style between your video and Alec's. I'm definitely video nerding out about how you guys tell stories differently, compose shots, manage audio, colour grade.... Oh, sorry... got carried away. (project is awesome by the way!)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha one of our favorite parts about collabs is experiencing the project and seeing the similarities and differences in how the other creator turns it into a video 😁😁

[@diarlettrose5064]

My favorite part is that Alec got just as excited about how it looked as Evan and Katelyn did. It really makes me insecure when the person helping me just has a stoic face the whole time so seeing him equally as excited really made me smile

[@SuperDavidEF]

I'm here (and Subscribed) because of Alec! I've been looking forward to this video. You guys are fun to watch! This was a great collaboration project. I hope the next video is uploaded soon.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much, we've been looking forward to sharing it :D have the next one partially uploaded but are traveling this weekend. Hope to have the next part ready within a week though!

[@bertasoler9375]

I actually was also introduced (and subbed) because of your collars with Alec. Great vid and I'm excited for the next one!

[@huddysdad]

The old shop teacher in me was very happy to see Katelyn had her hair back when around the forge. That raindrop pattern looks outstanding!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Didn't wanna risk catching it on fire! Glad you like how the pattern turned out 😁😁

[@gawdzila]

Found you guys 'cause of Alec, and this collaboration is awesome! You guys and Alec have the same sort of goofy enthusiasm, and are excited to learn (and screw up!) new things. You work so well together and are such fun to watch! I love your channel, too! -- the variety of projects you guys do is astounding, and really appeals to my jack-of-all-trades nature (or maybe more likely my inability to stick to something :p) on a deep level.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! We had so much fun with Alec, it really did feel like we were kindred spirits! Haha we definitely have that inability to stick to just one thing... Makes life way more fun!

[@mrsockery]

This was the collab we never knew we needed

[@dolphin64575]

That raindrop steel is GORGEOUS omg I'm going to have to binge all of Alec's vids next...

[@CarlManson1983]

Same workshop, same people, same project. It's so interesting to see the differences between your two cinematography styles. Nice job.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! This is our first time filming the same project from a different perspective and it was really fun seeing the differences

[@Thorbrook]

Wow katelyn is killing in it the wardrobe and power hammer skills

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha the power hammer was SO FUN

[@adrianmontero4409]

I love this collaboration with Alec Stelle

[@jordanjackson788]

This man is pure chaos, and I love it

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Never knew about Alex Steele before but the fact he has the same enthusiasm as Katlyn makes me want to watch him

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

His channel is awesome! Very enthusiastic guy that really draws you into what he's making

[@Mike.Studio]

I'm a subscriber to you and Alec's for long before your collaboration, a lot of fun watching the three of you making an awesome project and had a lot of laughs! Lots of love from Egypt

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

So glad you like the collab! It's been a blast working together

[@lostmypicks]

Its such a lovely knife. And he is such a lucky man. With the most respect intended

[@jackkerr9773]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the video quality 👌😍

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you thank you!

[@jackkerr9773]

EvanAndKatelyn 😁😁

[@123456Antor]

Holy Fudge Two of my most favorite KZbinrs together i didnt even find this video until now

[@GrowerTalks]

Fabulous to see behind the scenes at Alec's shop. Well done, you two!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Glad you like the behind the scenes feel! Thank you!

[@NelsoncraftTX]

“Make sure there’s a system for the randomness” 😂🤓

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

The only way to properly apply randomness is with a well thought out plan! 🤓

[@leon_mnl]

that’s the same as controlled chaos

[@MrModTwelveFoot]

"Don't worry, I have a spreadsheet (so we can have sufficiently systematic randomness)" I like this guy.

[@holycrap127]

Virgo energy

[@Benny_painter]

hehe nice one. Love the reactions you guys get to new things! No matter what it is :) Keep them coming!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!! We have so much fun making things and definitely want to step up production somehow. Thinking of getting an editor when we can to help out :D

[@mr.frogman9939]

Such a great collab, and some gorgeous Damascus

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! It really did turn out pretty

[@viggoj.v.4242]

Legend has it that if you come this early Katelyn or Evan will reply

[@viggoj.v.4242]

Too bad it’s not been proven

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha we try to reply to everyone!! ❤️ :)

[@solarhawk77]

So glad you guys did this collaboration! I've been following Alec for a while... and as you might have noticed by now, I've been harassing him to get some women in the shop of his for a while! The only downside is that now I have yet another youtube channel to go through old videos to catch up!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Oh yeah I think we saw you comment on one of his videos from the collab! It was so fun to be in the shop 😁👍

[@JohnMadeit]

i love you videos because of the high energy and mood lifting ability then i saw alec at makers central on stage and realized he had the same high energy mood boosting ability also so started watching his video. so all 3 of you together its like super hyper drive energy boosting.. stay awesome guys.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

There was definitely a lot of laughs, dance moves, singing, and making bad jokes with the 3 of us together - it was a fun week!

[@kevinespino8845]

PLEASE do another knife collab with Alec!🙏It came out beautiful! Next time, do an XL version with a flipper tab instead of the thumb stud. I'll 100 percent be your first customer!👌 Aloha 🌴

[@Leib33]

So funny to see an Alec Steele video in such different style! But good, obviously!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We definitely tried to capture it in our own style so it would be a different take on the project - glad you like it!

[@dj_alboe1360]

I've not seen Alec's channel, but this makes me want to watch him.

[@gamestuff1959]

katelyn looked so natural on the power hammer, like she's been doing it as long as yourself alex.

[@vidhoard]

12:21 The random noises here made me so happy haha. I always wondering if my friends and family are the only ones who make weird noises together haha

[@louisejohnson6767]

I love all of your videos, but this one is definitely a favourite!

[@leon_mnl]

love the colabs,especially with people i already follow ,bob from ilms and now alec , you guys make it look really fun to watch you do new things and are not afraid to try it too,keep doing so 👍🏻

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much! We have so much fun doing collabs with such awesome people 👍😁

[@josepherwin8709]

What a great learning opportunity for you guys! And you seem to have made a new Friend, there!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

A very great learning opportunity and new friend indeed!

[@Dan_d00d]

You guys have infectious energy and its def couple goals territory to have so much combined creative outlet and output. Im Aussie, used to live in Houston for a bit, and your vids remind me a heap of being in sugarland.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you!! We definitely feel lucky that we both enjoy doing this type of stuff together so much 😁😁

[@Dan_d00d]

Argh i got a reply! well i am a biomed scientist (worked in med center), and i love to use science for creative stuff, so i am forever on the hunt for other creatives as my other half, but arty types- so that i can have the 'do the fun stuff together' vibe. You just have the duo of goofy good time thing really locked in. :)

[@DarkMoon095]

i love how your video and alec 's are completely different,well done !

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! It was fun to try and capture a different perspective!

[@BulletproofPastor]

Like I said on Alec's site.... You guys "WHACK WHACK" like a pro pro. I'm looking forward to your experiments with Damascus.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha thank you!! We are already looking into getting a little mini forge for our shop back home 😁

[@SV-sq1pi]

joli travail pour une première! Alec, attention, KATELYN va prendre ta place!!! en résumé: j'adore!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! Glad you like it! But I have a ways to go 😋

[@astraldragon01]

Great job guys, watching yours and Alec vid of this project was fantastic. Love Alec work been watching for the last year and half and he has only gone from strength to strength. Can't wait to see what you will do next

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! This project has been a blast, we had the best time working with Alec! Working on the part 2 video now 😁

[@sgsax]

Already watched Alex's side of this story, very fun to see yours!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Glad we were able to show it from a different perspective 😁👍

[@Danistotallyawesome]

I can't explain how much I've been looking forward to this!! Absolutely FANTASTIC work guys. Anyways I should finish watching the video now haha

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha thanks for the vote of confidence Dan!!

[@Danistotallyawesome]

Did you guys get to explore Norwich at all when you visited? It's my home city and just as English as they come!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha we walked to the coast one but we were mainly just knocking out content as much as we could while there! Such a nice place though :)

[@Danistotallyawesome]

Yeah the coast there is beautiful. Yeah damn-ascus guys, you really 'grinded' out some un-forge-ttable content! Hehe

[@Neo7CNC]

Great video guys! So much fun!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

[@matt_williams1015]

That looks like tons of fun, very cool process!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! It was really fun and we learned a lot

[@theislandworkshop8453]

Evan and Katelyn with a power hammer = scary. great vid guys

[@Snowmirage6453]

Wow super cool! Never saw this match up coming!

[@AllTheHobbies]

I think I smiled the whole time I watched that. You guys are so bright and shiny. :)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Hearing that makes us smile!

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

Great video! Looks like you guys had a complete blast. Can't wait for the second part!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!!! Should be posting the second part tomorrow!!

[@floof4181]

Watching this I realised that Katelyn isn’t short and Even is just a literal GIANT

[@ender52]

This is so cool! I'm pretty sure you've collaborated with all my favorite makers at this point.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! We feel really lucky to have collaborated with so many awesome people!

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Fantastic part 1! That pattern is incredible!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@FigmentsMade]

I'm quite sure that wasn't as easy as you guys made it seem but that was totally awesome! And omg Katelyn doing Evan and Alec's voices! That pattern is absolutely gorgeous! And this video was fandarntastic!! I can't wait for the next episode for the rest of the build!!! More exclamation points!!!!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Hahaha, I think I hit their voices pretty bang on 😋🤣 Glad you like the video!!! This was one of our favorite videos we've made!! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Such a beautiful piece of steel! 😍 Awesome work E&K! 👍👊

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you Fred!

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

It's interesting how different the shop looks from your perspective, I enjoyed this a lot :)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We tried to capture a different perspective of everything! Glad you liked it 😁😁

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

Of course, when I am on your channel I care for your perspective, I already know Alec's ^^ So excited for more in the future :D

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

This was so cool! UGH a 2 parter. Things I really liked about this: Katelyn's Narration of the convo between Alec & Evan.... also the whole rest of the vid. This may have been the first collaboration you guys have done that I didn't get the feeling you wanted to bring the entire shop home with you. Seems like you had lots of fun though. I know I've always had fun when I work with metal but I'm a bit intimidated to actually buy the tools and do it at my house.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha we actually DO want to bring a few things home with us! This pretty much confirmed we gotta get a welder and we are looking into mini forges... 😁😁

[@dannyarrowheadstalker3054]

I'm so jealous that you've got to learn from Alec, I'll be learning the hard way, like normal !

[@Sean-nb4bn]

That was awesome, looked like so much fun!

[@CraveCraft]

Incredible collab!!! Love the merging of styles!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much! It was so fun to make this video 😁😁

[@matthewduke4233]

my three favorite youtubers

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you!

[@spiritusinfinitus]

Nailed it! Or rather Power-hammered it! Great content!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! Thank you!

[@PJGalati]

After watching Alec's videos, I feel like I'm watching the same thing in another universe....alternate dimension? Bizarro Evan and Katelyn! I do love all the goofy stuff.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! It was really interesting showing the same project from a different perspective!

[@TheMakerMonster]

That looks like a whole lot of fun. And those slo-mo shots are awesome!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was so fun and we had a blast getting all those slowmo shots. Definitely want to incorporate more slowmo in future videos 😁

[@remigavin4409]

Beatiful work!! It's incredible how it's turn out

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks Remi! SOOO pretty, we have it sitting on our desk so we can look at it more lol

[@buckymorelike]

Glad I can support you guys on patreon! :) Thanks for always being a huge inspiration, gonna love watching the rough cut!! Great vid

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We should have the rough cut up soon!! Thanks SO much for the support!!

[@MultiTom1956]

This is nice in fact very nice to watch you guys working with metal 😊

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

This trip made us really want to do a lot more metal work!

[@TommyCallaway]

Loved this. Love you guys.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!!

[@coregeek]

What a blast! Project and video are 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@davidnoseworthy1962]

Cool, always enjoy the videos.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks David!!

[@Bill_Hartnett]

I can't help but think what a cool woodplane blade that would be almost as is at the end.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Ooooo would be awesome to make a woodplane blade!

[@firebird8600]

I've been waiting to see your take on this project! I did wonder how Alec gets some of his shots, turns out, he stands on the table. Hahaha!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha it was awesome to watch him film - glad we could capture some of the behind the scenes!

[@whateverman555556565]

You guys did a great job! I watch both channels :) Keep it up guys :)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much Mr Whateverman!! Will do!

[@tsiji_3128]

these guys all mesh well together and you can tell, hope they hung out outside of this

[@Pokemoncrazy901]

Hey guys, keep up the good work!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks will do :D

[@printyourenvironment]

Wow incredible! You guys are killing it this year, love your videos!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much! It's been an awesome year 😁👍

[@DeltaArcAngelTTV]

MOAR ALEC!!!! he is in montana now much closer!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We'd love to do another collab!

[@InfiniteCraftsman]

Should be called topography Damascus. Looks sick!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Mmmhmnn definitely looks like topography! And we definitely have the knife sitting on our desk so we can look at it more frequently lol

[@spoopypoods7485]

yay! u guys got a huge uptick in subs! Good to see.

[@DiscGolfHunter]

I like the 'next time' , that's smart!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks! This was a rare occassion where we actually had footage already of the next video and could do that

[@michaelreiter3738]

[@davebauerart]

Wonderful. It looked like an amazing time.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

I love your videos. Keep up the good work

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Glad you like the videos!

[@davewalton2358]

Great stuff guys! Really interesting. Alec's skill and your enthusiasm created a wonderfully fun video with some really cool "learnin's". Beautiful result on the steel too. Subbed to both channels for a while now, but it's fantastic to see you all working together. Keep up the great work!! I'm off to check out part 2, can't wait to see how this turns out...

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much!! It was so awesome working with Alec - he's just a great person! So glad you like the videos we made together 😁

[@allanpaganini]

Hi guys How are you? Very very nice. I liked this team. Congratulations from Brazil

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We're good, hope you're doing well too! Glad you like the collab 😁😁

[@molegrip3860]

Great stuff - glad you enjoyed the UK :)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks, SO much fun :)

[@buildersmark]

This is awesome!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks!!

[@nerdyviews]

"Bingo bango chap! That's a jolly good job!" is gonna be how I compliment people from now on... ;) Great video!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha it's a great way to do it :D thanks so much!

[@Shadowmaker]

It looks fantastic

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@Klawrimore90]

That looks so similar to the swirls from Breath of the Wild. So cool!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks! 😁❤️

[@JackboMack]

Awww. I love you guys! So glad you did this collab with Alec. Otherwise, who knows how long it would’ve taken to find this channel?! :D

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw so glad you found us and glad you like the channel!

[@MrKclo42112]

soo much fun. I bet it was a blast. Alec can be such a clown. I must say You two make such a cute couple too.keep up the vids

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you! It was indeed a blast 😁🔥😁🔥 Glad you like the videos!

[@foxygaming17]

8:43 Katelyn is the best 😂

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

I pride myself on being able to do spot-on imoressions

[@foxygaming17]

EvanAndKatelyn 😂 omg did not think you were going to reply this

[@CsikiAttila]

I saw this on Alecs channel was curious how was it from your perspective. The result was absolutely awesome

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!! How was it watching from the new perspective?

[@CsikiAttila]

reminded me that you two are crazy (in a good way), Alec the same by himself, but you three were a special kind of crazy :) Was fun to watch the chemistry

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! "Special kind of crazy," I like it!

[@ShadowVipers]

That looks like it was so much fun! I'd love to do blacksmithing for a few days at some point in the future!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was incredibly fun! After blacksmithing for a few days we're already looking into getting a little forge for our garage shop... 😁

[@camballer94]

That finish tho! 👌

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@Scrrumy]

Any friend of Alec Steele is a friend of mine! Subscribed!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! Thanks for the sub! 😁😁

[@XFourty7]

That turned out amazing! I always wondered how Damascus was made too :P Thanks

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Haha turns out it's a lot of work 👍🔥

[@supremekaizamasu5306]

I personally would love to meet Alec he's actually funny

[@Gallagherrrr]

This is probably the most epic crossover since avengers endgame
