tools to make tools curriculum with Alec Steele

[@eviltwinx]

I really like that hand flatter. I could see me needing that. I have a class with Alec in Canada Feb of 2017. Super excited about it.

[@EthanHarty]

eviltwinx oh my I'm so happy to here that! Have a great time! You will learn so much! And the hand flatter is really handy.

[@middleburgprepper2342]

Great video Ethan. Good on you mate. Awesome set of tools you have there. Use them well and often.

[@johnjude2685]

Your hand flatter, looks great,Sir Thanks for showing and great job of showing

[@johnjude2685]

Alax Steel has gotten greatness

[@vegoil]

Great work, Ethan! I'm in Calgary and pushing 40 and still working on my basic tool set. It's great to see a local folks, and especially young folks (which I still consider myself...) getting into this great craft!

[@warofages4498]

I love that your making these hammers with Alec I wish you nothing but the best and we all know you will kill it...I mean you learned from the best...

[@markmoreno7295]

As one of his first students you probably got the deal of a lifetime! I am sure if he ever offers that class again, esp one on one, the price will be astronomical. If I were you I would continue more classes with other teachers to see the differences. Please follow Alec's advice on hearing, eye, and body protection so that you can keep forging as you get older. Look forward to seeing your tools for sale.

[@garycottreau8442]

Wow that is a lot of tools you made. Congrats on you effort and work.

[@松田もしくろす]

Amazing that you made all of that in just 6 days. You must have been pooped! All the tools you ended up with are great. I think the special keepsake, or memoir, is the horse head, since it is quite unique and has Alec Steele's touchmark on it. I wish I had the money and the time to take a week long class from him too.

[@XMcBainXUSA]

Cool tools. This is a good set!

[@jeremyarnold629]

I am going to brandon Mississippi here in the next few months to do the tools to make tools with lyle wynn myself looking foward to the trip, would love to go to alec steele shop and do it but the flight from kentucky and back is a far bit out of my reach. great vid bud keep em coming.

[@0802turtleman]

How did you get those tools home with you! Keep up the good work and learning! I liked your video and subscribed! Cheers!

[@knivesstuff]

Great work dude! I saw some pictures of the tools you made on Alec's instagram. Great to see you have a youtube channel, I subbed. You are a very good smith.

[@EthanHarty]

[@cameronmcpeak5183]

Nice work! May need to come bug you one day to buy some tools and get some tips! Alberta forever!!

[@trythinking6676]

Wow, your voice changed.

[@joeltham1979]

Excellent tools well done. That must have cost a lot to get that back home.

[@marshallcritter]

Hey Ethan, Just wanted to follow up with you about the 2.5 pound rounding hammer! thank you and great vid

[@EthanHarty]

+Marshall Reid sorry for my late reply, after Christmas I will be making about 3, 2.5 hammers. I will make sure you get one if you want one! I will text you a price.Thanks for reminding me!

[@mrbluenun]

Hi Ethan, A great skill you have, know what you want in your minds eye, and then able to go through the steps to make the exact tool you need, as you grow in your smithing. I do not know the correct term, but did you fire-harden your wooden handles?

[@EthanHarty]

helloyes, these handles are slightly charred. as far as I know how ever, the only thing it dose to the handles, is with use, the feel more rubbery and grippy! it also dry out the wood so it can absorb more oil. this can make the handles last longer.

[@rd_bike5161]

Very good ! Nice Works...

[@davidhuerta788]

Great work dude, you winn one more subscriber!!👍

[@cooperkaesemeyer2220]

how old are you I'm 13 and I want to take one of Alec's classes

[@jeremyarnold629]

[@EthanHarty]

Jeremy Arnold I'm so sorry, yes I did make a very good h13 drift, I forgot to show it in the video, I may edit it in sometime

[@drason69]

Without the plane ticket, how much does the course run? USD?

[@EthanHarty]

you will have to check the rates on his website.

[@thomassaulnier6981]

Do you have a web site? I'd love to see more.

[@EthanHarty]

Yes! www.ethanhartyblacksmith.com

[@nathaneells2281]

Do you live in England or did you fly over to take Alec's class?

[@EthanHarty]

Yes, I flew over the pond from Canada to England

[@themadsmith857]

how old are you? i'm 13 i'm building a power hammer and belt grinder soon i'm also buying a 275 pound peter wright anvil

[@trampmaster13]

know one really cares bud

[@ConorMakes]

Thats amazing, hope you have a lot of fun building them. Best of luck to you

[@thomasarussellsr]

Good on you. great age to start. you'll have loads of time to see if it will be a life-path, or a hobby. Then still have time to redirect you life-path if you choose smithing as a hobby interest. Honestly, I am a bit jealous, A Peter-Wright is way out of my budget, much less a power-hammer and long-belt grinder. Hope you get what you are looking for from the forge. Also, starting at 13 you should, if you take it seriously and get after it like Ethan, Alec and Liam Hoffman, you should get a fairly stout build and some decent muscles.

[@cameronmassie642]

S!ngularity your an ass

[@smokeyforge9498]

@@cameronmassie642 It's not uncalled for though. I know this is 2 years old but a lot of younger folks over mention their age to get praise.

[@jamiedurnall8163]

Here because he is making hammers for alec!

[@MrRHAWKER1]

hi working over the bik is the proper way to forge working on the side or edge of the anvil makes a mess and takes a long time to forge it out I'm a 72 Year old Smith and still forging

[@leestone1885]

[@MrRodrigomarcola]

[@speedxdreems]

odd he would need to use others to promote his "school"

[@joeltham1979]

Excellent tools well done. That must have cost a lot to get that back home.
