MAKING FLAG-MASCUS BELT BUCKLES!!!!! UK + USA!!! Part 1

[@mahucano89]

Hey Alec, i´m an archer, how about some nice arrow heads made from damascus steel!?

[@morkovija]

back tension release would be even cooler =)

[@mahucano89]

why not both!?

[@harmfullhappyness]

I second this motion

[@lucast.6474]

With your love for flags, you should hold a flag design contest. Then you'd have the official flag of Steele nation !

[@otterconnor942]

I need to send alec a kekistani flag to show support to the oppressed peoples of kekistan

[@sniperwiper09]

this is a Fantastic idea

[@nxt472]

hello internet much #FlaggyFlag

[@darcysmith2796]

Lucas T. Then he should make a billet of Damascus in the new flags design. Then make a bunch of buckles for us to buy!

[@nssheepster]

Fun With Flags Featuring Alec Steele?

[@deadline1746]

Could you try to make some pieces of armour? Then you could have a go at some leather work alongside it. Also the method for making acid less acidic is called 'neutralising' same thing with making an alkali more acidic.

[@jonpeterson2870]

Alec Steele's Channel, the channel that can make tidying up a recordable, foot-tapping event!

[@turtletoxins8214]

You should make a Damascus mug set for the kitchen

[@taitano12]

So, now. Alec has figured out the proper and respectful way to burn a flag. Fantastic!

[@p.t.anderson1593]

I just saw an advert for Baileigh machinery during this video... How incredibly appropriate!

[@isaaccollard8504]

Forge a Damascus Paperclip

[@manny-xp9my]

made me laugh lol

[@prismTTG]

It needs to be at least a foot long paperclip

[@isaaccollard8504]

Tyler Long What the heck kinda paper are you clipping with that?

[@prismTTG]

LOTS OF PAPER!!!

[@tyhale7308]

Isaac Collard genius...the fanciest way two secure loose paper

[@AlaskaSkidood]

You're pretty energetic for being sick. Keep up the great work!

[@huckhuckhuck]

Can you please glue a large pair of googly eyes to the power hammer? NOM NOM NOM on some steel!

[@joshuacleverley3929]

Omg that is great

[@WillianMichel10]

That's brilliant!

[@lsubslimed]

Please don't!! KZbinr Daniel Moss has those on his power hammer and his anvil and they are too distracting and take away from his actual forging, IMHO👎

[@croweslen7896]

that sounds fantastic!

[@phishguy5230]

DO IT

[@ACmaxheat]

A plaid Damascus woodcutting axe.

[@ianturpin9180]

In the UK it's called tartan you must be American they always get it wrong

[@SwannyIV]

Nah. I think you've got it wrong.. plaid for sure. America for sure.

[@jnathannger8654]

plaid all the way! go merica!

[@ianturpin9180]

J.R. you must be a septic tank only they say plaid a Scot or Brit knows that the correct term is tartan

[@ianturpin9180]

Mike Goode try typing plaid on wikapedia before you make eronious comments plaid is the American term for tartan try telling a Scotsman he is wearing plaid and see the reaction

[@robertevras6577]

You have been killing it all week Alec! Get better, and thanks for all the great content!

[@SpentCasings762]

Your next challenge, forge Celebrimbor's elven hammer from the new Middle Earth Shadow of War game. And with that hammer you must forge the Steele ring of power to defeat the dark lord of horizontal space.

[@3tman892]

Yes alec to that

[@teajay6329]

making an acid not acidic is neutralization

[@gitnessframtacerpest2813]

tyler saulez acidic is the proper way to say it

[@JackManic1984]

tyler saulez I knew someone else would say this. Yes to neutralize is to bring the PH to a neutral level of 7 otherwise known as water.

[@dbissdude]

JackManic1984 it's doesn't become water when you neutralize it you goof

[@OneEyedJack01]

JackManic1984 Not necessarily water. Water is just a solvent. pH is a measurement of hydrogen ion (H+) concentration. You can have acidic or basic water, and, as you said, pH 7 would be neutral.

[@WireWeHere]

"Base" or "alkaline", to answer Alec's word query for acid's opposite on the pH scale. Ben Franklin connection too. Good day.

[@cognitive-carpenter]

Jamie keeping things honest on set. Excellent

[@chaz65]

Neutralize is what you're doing to the acid. Your shows are getting better and better, keep on rocking brother, can't wait to have you visit the US!

[@georgeanstey542]

You should totally make a play button at 500,000 K subs put of 500,000 layer Damascus steel Alec.

[@chaysebrown]

George Anstey I think he is doing that!

[@quinnsorensen1346]

He made a play button at 100,000

[@speeding2fast]

500k is a 500k layer katana. He's already working on the billet in between other projects.

[@uglyguitarguy]

If I'm ever in a bad mood, this guy just makes me feel right as rain. Cheers!

[@pepper7220]

Alec. The "thing" you use on your Bridgeport is called a parallel. Lol love the enthusiasm! Keep up the good work!!

[@zirconiumgaming9281]

I would totally watch you daily blog how you prepare for vids and what your daily rundown is. You should blog sometimes on a seperate channel.

[@nielsniels18]

Neutralising was the word you were looking for.

[@Ron3343]

The "Ameri/Jack" buckle will be FANTASTIC!! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@TheDarkie89]

This should be aired on TV tbh , this series is so good

[@northernsmith]

A pro tip, it you put a bucket of water directly under your grinders contact wheel it will catch most of the dust coming off the grinder and your quench water is close and within a quick reach. It helped me out a bunch when I was told to do it. 😀 I love the videos! Keep it up!

[@manny-xp9my]

forge Damascus dog tags with your S logo and sell them as merch

[@quinnsorensen1346]

skinz 88 oh He'll yeah

[@sethjones5078]

He could use scraps up that way and give his subs a chance to own his stuff

[@J4K_Shred]

skinz 88 thats actually a good idea

[@unionjackgamingandvlogs6457]

I’d buy it INVEST

[@David-xl8zf]

Alec Steele flagmascus belt buckles in the Steele shop. Just DO IT!

[@bigoljoe1829]

Your Southern American accent is way way better than any British person I have ever seen, celebrity level comedians and impressionists included. You are a man of many talents sir.

[@kycat119]

I like this new style of cinematography it looks sharp!!

[@svajeren]

Its nice to see You have Danish Flag Is Makes me Happy!😊

[@TheGuarian73]

Loved this part. Awesome stuff and can't wait for the finished buckles

[@neilhunter3907]

Forget all that bud if your not well have a day off all your faithful followers will agree

[@jnathannger8654]

Neil Hunter my selfish side says i want more videos, bit yes should he really NEED the day off i guess we could allow him ONE sick day:p seriously take the day when youre genuinely sick

[@neilhunter3907]

Jnathan Nger one day off to be well or 4 days off when flu kicks in

[@fabulousfabrications1985]

Neil Hunter .....To be sick and to be not well is completely different one is ( I have a cold or I am sick ) Not well means something is wrong or you are hurt.. I mean no disrespect to anyone . I am a fitter welder fabricator and I have not taken a day off or been late for work in 8 months and counting..

[@meganbaratta7820]

Feel better soon! Cool project.

[@morkovija]

Alec, do an archery release (backtension one is a stick with a hinge), they are not super complex, but look beautiful, plus you can pick up some archery =)

[@Unclebuddy01]

Should you ever make another bunch of US Flag belt buckles, I would be interested in purchasing one.

[@DonMetal]

If these come up for sale they would sell out in a heartbeat

[@oivinf]

Slow-mo power hammer is so badass. Just never gets old

[@danielfranklin6580]

Would love to see you and Will tackle a project like this again..

[@FinnJenkins]

So great to see some edc stuff made. I love the big stuff and the swords but the feel of making something you wear every day just can’t be beaten. I do leatherwork and love using what I make. Yet another epic vid. Well done you lot!

[@colemoon541]

I love you jack I just want to thank you for your fantastic videos. I've been watching for two years and it's great to see the projects your making. Love the buckle's

[@ziploc53]

I’ve noticed that the grinding rooms air filter is missing

[@gitnessframtacerpest2813]

Michael W. are u am Eagle Scout

[@gitnessframtacerpest2813]

I mean an not am

[@ziploc53]

Yes from May 2007

[@gitnessframtacerpest2813]

Michael W. cool I am life scout I have been in scouting for one and a half years I want to be an Eagle Scout before I turn 14

[@diamondproductions2]

Prolly took it off for cleaning

[@Rogue136]

So not to start a bunch of people requesting their own flags but I'd love to see you make a Canadian flag. I feel like getting the maple leaf detail would be tough and fun to see.

[@Hany_20vt]

Such a dream to own that USA Flag Damascus belt Buckle! Stars & Stripes baby!

[@that_laughing_hyena]

Love the way that you sychonize the music in you video and with that you gain a ( sort of ) new subscriber

[@ronthacker211]

Absolutely love the music timing... good job.

[@trevergoick9341]

7:03 I believe it is "Neutralizing" I love how you are always innovating!🔥⚒ thank you for your Artwork!

[@rg2954]

Keep up the great work! Make a Damascus drawknife for shaping your handles!! Cheers

[@firebird8600]

I can't wait to see the finished buckles!

[@richtearanger93]

Your voice sounds very deep lately, well deeper than normal. Guessing it's to do with you been unwell or not at your best. Get well soon

[@JETWTF]

Or puberty.

[@Mycobob]

Glad you finally did my idea!!

[@bentleybaker697]

Am I the only one who missed his old quick project videos over these big long drawn out series videos?

[@roberthillyer3129]

Could you try make an Australia flag belt buckle.

[@viol8ter263]

Definitely love the music in these new episodes

[@janlaarman236]

Make a tshirt with only a small s-stamp on it. Simple, classy and neat.

[@gregred78]

I would love to see you make this an item that people can win!

[@rizzorian]

Awesome video, can't wait to see them finished. You sold have some as merchandise. Great work Alec

[@Durri01]

I'd love to see a Switzerland-Damascus belt buckle.

[@michaelandersen5453]

this was one of your best vids in a long time. thanks I enjoyed it a lot

[@digitaIgorilla]

Aww. I saw the title and thought "YES! Alec has hammered out a big long billet of both flags' damascus patterns and will be cutting loads for all his ardent fans." One of each just ain't gonna cut it young man! We need PRODUCT! ;)

[@adamwilliams7074]

As you like a chalenge how about a welsh flag belt buckle

[@fuzielectron5172]

LOL, I liked your comment but I,m Scottish! St Andrews cross would be too easy so up the ante, Lion Rampant please Alec......

[@vincenttrigg4521]

LMFAO at 3:52 All i can imagine is the lyrics "Say something im giving up on you" XD But the silence says it all hahaha

[@dl200010]

I bet you could make a lot of these and sell them on your online store. I for sure would buy one!

[@FTB1776]

2 min 15 sec.. the things you use on the bridgeport miller to hold your work down are called "step Clamps"

[@charlesdiffenderfer9559]

Woo! Love those flag billets, I've been hoping you'd do another video using them.

[@jimbobmcgrath]

You should definitely try make some Damascus balisong (butterfly knives) .

[@jake9716]

Awesome I'm excited that you're making a belt buckle! Almost as excited as I'd be if you forged the Master sword from Zelda please and thank

[@GRTRanchadventures]

those things for the mill are the bases for strap clamps alec :)

[@markuskaiengel]

You should sell these! Make a large billet and I bet a bunch of people would want an awesome flag-maskus belt buckle like that! Looks like sth. that is easy to mass produce for such a skilled craftsman like yourself!!

[@robertdavie319]

Alex, a fun project for you, and a difficult one-maybe- can you make a Damascus steel TEXAS FLAG BOWIE KNIFE?

[@_Hanover_]

Please bring back the live show. It was great.

[@robertwoodhall1993]

Hi Alec, Rob here. Glad you hire the trainable i.e. Jamie. Did I see Sam in the last episode? Thanks Rob

[@cirezane]

Neutralize. Solid work Alec!

[@damonstahl7757]

do some shop floor crucible damascus . sweep up slag and grindings from the floor melt it, flux the crap out of it and make something cool.

[@puddin_orc]

I gave a thumbs up for the nice southern american accent there at the end

[@randybutler9233]

This should be the patterns on your next phone cases they would have a much better Chanel connection .

[@chanceywilczewski8992]

Alec! Idea for a damascus pattern. Dragon scales! I have a few ideas on how to accomplish it if nothing comes to mind.

[@simonpersson8610]

You should do the "holy spear" in damascus^^

[@cebmom4ever]

Neutralize is the word you are looking for when you put the acid in the baking soda solution.

[@raynielregulacion7424]

im from Philippines, and im addicted to your videos, haha.

[@ulasgursoy2838]

I know it doesnt sound all that exciting but i'd love to see a damascus longsword

[@seacucumber6768]

Ulaş Gürsoy It's VERY exciting!

[@natesiress1057]

Longswords are sexy as all hell. A Damascus longsword would be a thing of beauty.

[@jamesbryan3515]

Didn't he say he can't make stuff over 20 something inches due to UK laws though?

[@natesiress1057]

It, uh, might have to be on the shorter end of a longsword. Maybe a long-letter-opener?

[@danhinchliffe7622]

James Bryan As long as it's meant for display purposes in a locked glass case then it's legal in the UK. I have a few longswords myself all in cases.

[@TheMightyDaewoo]

You should put googley eyes on the two holes on the power hammer "hammering pads"

[@xnorcal831x]

Get a polishing belt for that 2x72. Also try splitting a small log n use it to form the bend in the buckel it won't leave hammer marks in the metal. I use two pieces of wood to fix license plates for peoples vehicle

[@peterbaker6077]

Sweet I was wondering if you where ever going to make more cool stuff from the left over pice of Union Jack 🇬🇧. I know you don’t sell anything you make but would so love to own a belt buckle from that sweet piece of D!

[@tombearclaw702]

Peter Baker Wouldn’t it be great to see random Damascus off cuts turned into belt buckles and up on the web store as merch? He could probably make even more money from his efforts by putting them on EBay with a link in the description for his video of making them...

[@JewShady]

Who needs drugs when you can spend your life savings on Damascus flag blanks.?

[@rodneywroten2994]

Alec I have tried at least 30 times to get you to say hi to us crazy forgers here in Louisiana. I will keep trying I guess till you do Sir. thanks. learned your channel through Camurai Carpender

[@Beastman44]

A big western size belt buckle huh? Werdoggy! Hootenanny! Get you one!

[@DaVinci091987]

Hi Alec, how about a damascus belt bucket with your logo in it. I guess this would be fun to make it and I'd love to buy one of these... greetings

[@stephenguest5291]

You should get a water vac. Just throw some water on the floor and suck it up. Makes everything look nice and shiny and it gets up all the small particles

[@RookieLock]

Canada Flag Next ? Great work Alec! thanks as always for sharing ! :)

[@andrewyockel5223]

I soooooo wish you could do a production run of the stars and stripes belt buckle. I would pre order

[@TheRealSuperDred]

Have you thought about making a Damascus flag belt bucket for Wil Willis for him to wear on Forged in Fire?... Genius!!

[@jamietimon9899]

Alec, I learned a new word/technique from checking out Liam Hoffman's videos regarding Damascus steel (as he likes to bring it up in every single video where he is doing the final sandings on his Damascus projects): Chatoyance. Now that I have seen him emphasize it so much I wonder why you haven't stressed it like he has. His Damascus projects have really noticeable chatoyance to the point that they glisten like a gemstone under sunlight.

[@sharperprospecting6980]

This was the very first video of yiyra I watched

[@TimothyHall13]

I keep missing the notification squad! Bummer! Thank you Alec! Annealing, neutralizing ... these are words I am not familiar with... Whatever happened to fantastic and all the more familiar words!?!?!

[@TheYoungMexicany]

You should try and make a steel billet out of those steel filing. Maybe if you separate the different grades of steel you can make some weird partical demascus if that's even possible?

[@middleburgprepper2342]

Can't wait to see the finished product(s)

[@HobbyAtze]

Hey Alec I absolutely love your videos! I have an idea: Could you make a cooking pot for Sam and Jamie's cooking competiton out of damascus steele? Would love to see this. And as always have a fantastic day!

[@carybrown3192]

I must have missed the union Jack Damascus video,saw the USAflag video! (It was great)!

[@stevee2841]

How about a Canada flag damascus for the Canadian fans?

[@bushydray]

also.....i had seen on another guys vids...when he cleans up he uses a large magnet with a bag round it...."sweep" it around, pull bag off magnet and waaalaaaaa all clean :)

[@stephenmorton5579]

Please, please make a Canadian flag.

[@HappilyHammered86]

I agree, Canada did have it's 150th birthday this year.

[@jackevans5737]

I think it's time that you and Sam made some hammer. They would make a great holiday gift. I would watch a live boxing up video again. :)
