I've watched enough GreenBeetle to know that trying to get irregular items to forge properly is super tough. Well done sir. Now make a chainsaw out of axes!
Hear me out.. what if a guy could fasten axe heads to a log chain to act as the teeth of the chain saw, and then build a giant bar system and attach the end to a large engine with some kind of clutch engagement system... Wouldn't necessarily be able to run at high rpm, but it would be cool to see!
The editing of these videos just keeps getting more insane! The power hammer matching the beat, the scale popping off as the beat goes, same with the milling. That’s just next level stuff honestly.
Alec, there are certain things in life that just aren't done...wearing Stihl suspenders while using a Husqvarna chainsaw is one of them. Otherwise, great video!
Ach, I use Stihl, echo and Husky saws whilst wearing Stihl or Arbotec trousers etc. In the woods felling or as a chainsaw carver. All my saws seem to get on together :)
Nice job you've done here! I'm a carpenter and I wanted to tell you that the wood that you choose for the handle is not good. In fact, for tool, we use 90% of the time: Ash. Because Ash is strong and flexible. This wood can last longer and, most important, damage less your hands in the long run. The chock that your hands are enduring are quite horrible at the age of 40-50 and more. It could damage your carpal tunnel in your wrist and cause a lot of pain. Next time, choose Ash! 😉 I really appreciate your videos. The work you are doing is amazing and your videos are stunning! I follow you for about 6 years now and I always love seeing those new videos coming!
A scythe made from lawnmower blades perhaps? to keep the theme rolling 🤣 I’m pretty sure most lawn mower blades are high carbon, between 1040 and 1080, so should be a okay steel?
One of the projects I've been putting off for a while is to make a draw knife out of an old lawn mower blade, actually. First I need to build a forge... And buy an anvil....
@@BloopTube some are, some aren’t I heard, depending on who makes it, my ride on John deer uses a high carbon nickel alloy which is hardenable. Even if I’m wrong he could do a san mai style blade with a insert. Tbh I just wanna see a scythe out of lawnmower parts lol
Guys like you that started me down the road. Keep it up, I had no idea what it meant to be passionate about something other than a person until i found the feeling of hammer on steel. The peace, purpose, and drive it has given me has been a revolutionary force in my life. Ive never studied harder, worked harder, or failed as often. I've loved every minute of it. Thank you.
It would be great to see you make fancy wrought iron gates for the new house. You could brake the all time record for the most episodes for one project lol
Not a significant challenge but for a long time I've been wanting to see Alec make chisels, a draw knife, a spokeshave, and a couple plane irons for woodworking...as gifts to his father.
I'd like to see more of the projects that take Alec well out of his comfort zone... or more of the revisiting projects from the past & see how much better it can be this time around...
Alec, you should try making a credit card knife. A knife that is folded into a credit card shape and can fit easily in your wallet. I think that'd be really interesting to watch. Love your content!
Alec, seeing you go through the process of making something is also very pleasing and entertaining. Even though we alredy saw someting similar. Its like good music, you enjoy listening to it again from time to time. My point is, no need to rush through the forging process. The quality of your videos is very good. I would very much like a few more minutes relaxing while seeing hot metal bend by force and technique, and listening to a quite good soudtrack. Congrats and keep up the amazing work.
UA-cam creators know we the viewers have loads of subscriptions and if their videos are too long we just watch shorter ones and miss out the really long ones. It's a challenge to get the interest of the viewer without monopolising their viewing opportunities.
Pro tip, the colored links on a chainsaw chain ARE normal links. They're color coded to help identify the type of chain. Typically green for "anti-kickback" and yellow or gold/bronze for regular chain. Also you made an alloy of high carbon steel from the teeth, chrome from the plating on the teeth, and mild carbon steel from the drivers.
Pro tip, the colored links are NOT the same as the rest. The coating, plating, enamel on the odd link, if trapped just below the surface of the majority of the links, will cause a delamination from the rest.
I’m always elated to see a new Alec Steele video populate in my feed. Especially these new interesting builds he is doing. I love this new “let’s have a blast forging whatever the heck I want” attitude and these short builds. But, that being said, I desperately miss the days of long builds like the Viking sword or Sabre you made with Will in Montana. Are you ever going to do another huge build like that anytime soon? And even if not, I’m such a die hard Alec Steele fan, I’ll still watch all the videos you put out. So to end my long diatribe here, thanks for the “infotainment” and for just being one of the best, if not THE best channel on UA-cam. Be safe and have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.
How long has it been since you hand forged Damascus? It would be nice to see you do that again. Power hammer is great. But hand forging has it's own appeal.
Man, Alec, I’ve been watching your content for years now and have enjoyed watching the channel grow and change with your business and I’ve got to tell you, I like the new humor you’re throwing in there! It’s still fantastic quality as ever, but the goofy little bits you’ve been trying out lately are a win in my book. Keep it up brother and I hope you and yours have some killer holidays!
My grandpa used to make knives and stuff out of chainsaw blades! He learned under Bill Moran in the 80s, not sure if that's where he picked up the chainsaw blade idea, but apparently Bill Moran is who invented modern Damascus that we all know and love! I think it was Arkansas where he taught.
I would really like to see you try to make a cast iron pan in your workshop. I know you have cast metal before (nice rings btw) and I would be curious if you could scale it up a notch to make a household utensil. I generally like your approach to new fields of your craft. The initial failure as well as the eventual success.
There's a cool episode on Antony bordans series on crafts people , where he visits a couple in New York I think that recycle old cast iron brake rotors and they pour real cool pans worth a look
Imagine putting days of work into a project, where you take an advanced tool which does quick work of wood and turning it into something that does the same amount of work in days of time. No but for real I love how it turned out. That damascus pattern remindes me of camouflage. Awesome video!
Actually when Shurap does this, he soaks the chain in kerosene before forging. I guess it makes the chance of oxidation a lot lower by burning it off in the forge....
Again, Eeee, well done again, it's a great honor for me to see another person with precise attention to detail and his wonderful work, well done and respect from old BG. p.s. You are the best artist to metal........!!!!
Hey Alec, a few years ago you made this beautiful broken back seax. What about a nice scandinavian typ seax with a 3 layer blade? A middle layer of historical steel and outer layers of damascus. On top an authentic sheath would be nice as well. 😁
For the original chain billet you should have hammered it flat and folded it like the Japanese did with their steel (for the same reasons they did, because of oxides and porosity).
A really random one but could be something simple but could be taken OTT with Demascus would be a shoe horn. I’ve had metal ones in the past and they bend, the plastic ones eventually snap. So finding the fine line between something that Is thin enough but not flexible would be cool.
Love the video as always Alec. However as a fellow Smith I issue you a challenge!!! Make a minimum of a 15cm long pattern welded knife WITHOUT any of your shop equipment, essentially a knife making challenge using only tools and equipment available to a beginner who has a very limited budget Rules and parameters: no welders, no power tools beyond a cheap belt sander (I say this because there is a HUGE difference between a shop belt grinder and a cheap harbor freight 1" belt sander) no propane forge, hand made charcoal/coal forge using stuff available at the store/hardware store (kitty litter, sand and maybe a cement) absolutely NO power hammers, all hand forging. Basic materials such as high nickel steel and high carbon steel (heck if you want to go farther use old band saw blades for the nickel steel) you can use borax for Flux or anything easily available that isn't professional grade Flux, must have at least 5 folds to get a higher layer count, no limit on the layers but again you'll probably limit the starting layers since you won't be able to weld them prior to forging. Etching recipe that can be made at home from home acids, no professional etch solutions. Oh and for the airflow, can use what ever you want for that since something as simple as a hair dryer works perfectly, no need to limit yourself on that. So what say you? Oh also I'm going to say you have a limited metal budget, say at most 1 meter long bars of each metal and say .317cm thick? Or the metric equivalent of a quarter inch. To limit you on how much stock removal you do, remember this is a challenege to force you to use what the average young beginner has access to
I don't know if you've seen the series he made like 3-ish years back of making a knife using hand tools only. That's basically what you described minus a few things. Seems really close to what you just proposed.
@@fedorkraev9341 I think i may actually recall that video, but I also remember there was something about it that didn't sit right, as well as the bloomery one they did which there was a lot wrong they did with that one that just made it so much harder on them. do you remember the name of the video? Ok so It's his back to basics video, so kinda what i had in mind.
I remember when my dad bought me a chainsaw for Xmas yrs ago. Did I have any need for it? Of course not! But he knew I wanted one and we had fun destroying stuff with it!
Hey Alec, I know you've revisited builds in the past so I'm just throwing it out there... how about another katana? Maybe do it as close to traditional forging, with tamahagane.
I was getting ready to come into the comments and say you should have used a Canister Damascus technique with that chain, and then you went ahead and did it. Good man.

Alec Steele Advent. One video every day until Christmas
@@Hooivork like a better than cheap chocolate advent calendar. :)
The chainsaw Damascus has a really cool pattern. Almost like camo print or something.
I feel like when he had the chainsaw its like an American when they get a nee gun
Camo axe:
-dmg:23
-speed per swing:16
-health bonus:+17%
-stealth bonus:+78%
I thought the pattern looked like wood grain.
I had the same idea aswell, looks like camo
Puts on stihl suspenders to start a husky chainsaw lol
I've watched enough GreenBeetle to know that trying to get irregular items to forge properly is super tough. Well done sir.
Now make a chainsaw out of axes!
@@malikmalchan2525 nothing is impossible
damnit, beat me to it!

Even if a chainsaw is not possible, a chain should be.
Not a chainsaw chain but a regular chain.

I came to leave this comment
Never thought I'd say this but Jamie you're an absolute madman, you've actually made forging montages sexy
That credit goes to his editor, unless he edits his own videos
Alec, there are certain things in life that just aren't done...wearing Stihl suspenders while using a Husqvarna chainsaw is one of them. Otherwise, great video!
Ach, I use Stihl, echo and Husky saws whilst wearing Stihl or Arbotec trousers etc. In the woods felling or as a chainsaw carver. All my saws seem to get on together :)
Point of order….. braces not suspenders, he is in the U.K. at the mow 😁
I mean, everything should be Stihl with him!
We all know the new Stihls suck, but it takes a real moron to avoid buying a roll of replacement chain rather than the whole saw.
Good call.
I was searching the comments for that
I love the laid back and chilled vibe Alec and Jamie have these days... As well as the jokes☺️
Agreed! and F that Peter guy! He can bugger off 😂
he's starting to get a bit of that Colin Furze nuttiness in there and, I don't hate it.
So much less than the work in Montana with Will.

Nice job you've done here! I'm a carpenter and I wanted to tell you that the wood that you choose for the handle is not good. In fact, for tool, we use 90% of the time: Ash. Because Ash is strong and flexible. This wood can last longer and, most important, damage less your hands in the long run. The chock that your hands are enduring are quite horrible at the age of 40-50 and more. It could damage your carpal tunnel in your wrist and cause a lot of pain.
Next time, choose Ash! 😉
I really appreciate your videos. The work you are doing is amazing and your videos are stunning! I follow you for about 6 years now and I always love seeing those new videos coming!
0:52 The stihl straps and the husqvarna chainsaw combo is probably one of the most cursed things I've seen
The axe won hands down. I’d really like to see some Damascus cuff links with some gem inlays. I wanna see some Steele bling! Cheers!
That'd be cool
Seconded. Cuff links would be amazing.
You'd struggle to chop a piece of wood with cufflinks

"There is a shortage of chainsaw blades, np ill buy every blade I can find and melt em down"
// Alec the good samaritan
I think that was the joke. It's cause he bought every blade that there's a shortage
I do believe the joke was that there was a shortage BECAUSE he had bought all the chains the city had.
But i can understand the mistake.
@@bobbertbobby3975 I think the joke was actually just.. he brought all the chainsaw blades even though there’s a shortage
I'm trying hard not to be triggered that you called it a chain saw blade.
It would be great to see you make fancy wrought iron gates for the new house. You could brake the all time record for the most episodes for one project lol
that would be very good indeed 👍
Not a significant challenge but for a long time I've been wanting to see Alec make chisels, a draw knife, a spokeshave, and a couple plane irons for woodworking...as gifts to his father.
He should definitely make a draw knife for himself, so he can make axe handles without using a grinder. Much better handles.
Would make a great Christmas gift to give him
Wow....I did not read your comment before I posted....100% whatI would like to see too!
Absolutely this..
Didn’t he make a Damascus chisel for the Samurai Carpenter or am I thinking of someone else? I’m too old to be sure.
I'd like to see more of the projects that take Alec well out of his comfort zone... or more of the revisiting projects from the past & see how much better it can be this time around...

The Damascus Axe wins against the chainsaw overall. Great forge work, Alec.
Nice to see you back to doing what you do best Alec, that’s a gorgeous axe, & I want it...
I remember when my dad bought me a chainsaw for Xmas yrs ago. Did I have any need for it? Of course not! But he knew I wanted one and we had fun destroying stuff with it!
An axe formed from a chainsaw... that’s the manliest axe I’ve ever heard of
Whenever I feel sad, I just watch Alec try to forge weld hashbrowns together (4:35 in case you were wondering)
I'd like to see a concrete drill being made. It's an interesting mix of steel types.
You are so amazing
Hey Alec, I know you've revisited builds in the past so I'm just throwing it out there... how about another katana? Maybe do it as close to traditional forging, with tamahagane.
Such a good spot for a " here's Johnny" but sadly just crazy laughter 😂😂😂
Never thought a red hot clump of chains would look so tasty tbh. Looks like a yum yum
Can you forge a klingon bat'leth?
Anyone else impressed as hell with the puppy bringing the chain yes ik she's train but still🤯🤯🤯
"Oh, I don't care about Peter, he can go **** himself" That just made my day. Hilarious.
Petition to replace the Yule Log this year with slow motion footage of burning chips shooting about as you mill some steel. Wonderful shots Jamie!

One thing id like to see a Damascus done with is soup cans. It would be a cool team seas video.

Thank God! You finally carved a handle that you didn't burn later.
4:43 "It's like trying to forge together a bundle of..."

Axe won my heart. But I'd like to see ya make a Damascus hand saw. Keep the theme alive.
that desing in the axe give it a wild aura
Making an axe with a chainsaw chain has to be an amazing insult to progress I love it
axe: precision for vegetables and water
chainsaw: eviscerating wood and vegetables like nothing
This episode is why I watch your channel.
Would also love to see a vid from Jamie about filming and editing in that environment.
I would recommend looking into a hardmill or ceramic Inserts for your shell mill for removing tough steels like that
Music is Perfectly mixed to the video footage.! Excellent editing.
That's got to be the coolest Damascus pattern Ive seen.
I think it’s finally time the world saw a Damascus steel fish slice, we have been waiting and we are ready
