if I could subscribe again because of you living your life the way you see fit with no regard for others opinions I would.
+Dan Tuck thank you my friend 😀🎉
literally me
SAAAAAAAAAME
Two words: Damascus. Sharpie.
smctunes YES!!! lol
Knifemaker .... uses a sharpie to open a parcel
He has to be the worst at opening anything that comes in the mail. It cracks me up every time. When he bought the shop fan it looked like he might pull a muscle.
Hush! You'll make him stop doing it!
JalexpUK
My thoughts exactly. you beat me too it.
We wouldn't have him any other way! :-)
JalexpUK he's not a knife maker. sure he made a few knives but the proper term to describe him is blacksmith.
This was the best video to date...in my opinion. It was fun seeing the camaraderie and a little bit of shop antics. Keep Blake and get Sam to the shop as much as possible! Fun group of guys to watch.
Dirty in a smithing shop..... no fuck off! who would have thought. I think a dirty microwave is the least of your worries :) keep it up Alex your energy is addictive.
TBH i would worry about metal inside the microwave. but as long as its closed theres not an issue
Got flags to block to block out the dust now.
ever put a CD in a microwave super awesome effects, smells a little funny though. I think there is a thing called taking safety and concern a little to far, drink out of puddles, pick it up off the floor and eat it and there would be less sickly kids in mho. Oh and we are not eating out of it so what does it really matter :)
Seeing how dirty the outside of the microwave was had me concerned, but when I saw the inside was spotless I knew it wasn't an issue.
Some things need to be spotless, some don't and workshops are on the don't list. I used to work for a company that made ready to assemble wooden entertainment centers, desks and similar things. It was weird, if they were having a group of investors in they would shutdown for shop at least half and hour before they were coming and have up clean up every piece of sawdust and such, and my response was always "if I was looking to invest in a carpentry shop and every time I showed up the floor had no sawdust on it I wouldn't go with them as I would want workers who were up to their knees in sawdust as they were to busy working to stop to clean up."
What a blast watching this again, way way before Alec ever knew he was moving to Montana. What great fun.
A flea and a fly in a flue
were imprisoned,
so what could they do?
Said the fly: let up flee!
Said the flea: let us fly!
So they flew thru a flaw in the flue.
Awesome watching two smiths work in unison at speed.
Good to see Sam again.
Greetings from Ireland. Really enjoyed today's video, it had a bit of everything, flag's, cookery, blacksmithing and plenty of craic.
Hey Alec,
I’m relatively new to the channel. Been here a couple months and I like everything that I’ve seen so far. But I have to say, this video disappointed me.
I realize that it’s an older vid and you might not even see this comment. But, you’ve probably guessed it by now, it was your reaction to the Pride flag that disturbed me. I’m not offended. To each their own. But, I have to say that I lost a little bit of respect for you. You’ve always seemed like a very positive and supportive person. I just didn’t expect that from you. I have great admiration for all that you’ve accomplished in your young life, and you are an excellent craftsman. I’m not going to unsubscribe or anything. Just a little disappointed, is all.
As I said, I realize that this is an older video. Hopefully you’ve evolved a little bit since then.
Keep doing great work and I’ll keep watching. You’re always striving to be better in your work. Hopefully you can learn to be better in this area too.
its nice to see some friendly banter
People getting offended need to grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around their agenda. Keep going Alec, your work is awesome as usual!
Erik Stevens I'm very offended by that.
I'm offended that you were offended.
i'm offended that you were offended by another's offensiveness.
offence
Please post some detailed video of the hammer faces when done! Materials and heat-treat details would be icing!
with how many knives you make you still used a sharpie to open the package
Real men use sharpies
Marshall Cooper the pen is mightier than the sword?
I guess words does hurt. D:
More two person striking videos please. The improvement in quality of your videos just over the couple months I have been subscribed is amazing. Cheers from Austin, Texas!
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi! :)
xTeaspoon hell yeah, Queensland for the win
Aussie! Oi!
Aussie! Oi!
Nice one Kate!
I'm glad that someone more financially able than I, was kind enough to represent our whole country, by showing Alec that we enjoy his videos down here, with a gift for him :)
Kate??
it is realy nice to see you not teching stuff, but helping to make a hammer for a frend of yours
Big thanx to Sam for all the help and support that he is giving :)
The pride flag was hilarious, as was Alec's uncomfortable reaction. I just hope he reacted out of awkwardness and not dislike of the symbolism.
Absolutely wonderful production!!!
thanks Sam
Brian Sheehan Thank thee Sam(wise), the true hero!!
Thank you for your epic help Sam! Another great video!
so excited for some quality Steele!
"hopefully with no belts exploding" ... you jinxed it right there mate !
Certainly the best video you've made in a while!
Really fun video! Looks like you are all having a blast.
Wow I must be early if the only resolution I can pick 360p XD
love your positive attitude brother! it helps me keep up my positivity.
Country music... I am soooooo offended. Unsubscribing.
+Jon Powvens 😂😂 haha!
Jon Powvens fair play with country music but I will stick to real music if you don't mind ☺☺☺
Dogurasu much respect for George Strait. however I must disagree. he isn't the king. I could list a few dozen that could easily take that throne.... but I'll just go straight for the jugular. Hank
D Rock kenny?
BlueWolf for someone that started as an acid rock singer Kenny Rogers isn't bad at country.
I think your shop kitchen is awesome!!!
I love watching your videos, as it reminds me a lot of my dad who was a Blacksmith in Liverpool before bringing all the family to Australia in in 69. He took up work with the Australian Army and was their last Blacksmith. I remember him making custom knives for the SAS out of Landrover springs. Both me and my brother spent time with him in the forge and he told us both not to work in the forge and get easier jobs ( Fitter & Turner and a Cabinetmaker). He has been gone 11 years now and I turn 50 this year and am hoping to set up a forge and see where it leads. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you Sam...can't wait to see the prototype forge
Dat dust sweep - instant like!
Good to see Sam again, great job on the hammers Sam!
You guys all rocked today! Nice job
1. WAY more people preemptively complaining about possible SJW outrage than any actual outrage from SJWs
2. Ask yourself, and for that matter, ask Alec, "Why was the segment on the Gay Pride flag included in the video at all?"
Who was it that dragged social politics and gender issues into a blacksmithing video? Was it the person that sent the flag or the person that made a joke out of the flag, shot edited and uploaded the video?
If you decide to do a run of claw hammers, I'd be very happy to get one. I'm a beginner woodworker who loves hand made tools.
Yeah, go Australia!
mathew cullen I was hoping it was a kiwi flag and still called Australian.. Not sure which side of the ditch that would offend more.
a clean workshop is a sign of a sick mind
Ragonfand lol too true... "I literally just had it, where the F*** did it GO??"
Offended SJW's incoming in 3...2...1...
Sascianogerrits unfortunately.
+Sascianogerrits 😂😂😂 down-votes happening across the world as we speak 😂
Alec Steele hang in there man! You're a good dude, you know it, I know it, rational people know. Don't worry about the irrational ones... they're beyond help.
Love how you have to bow your head to the Canadian flag at least once a day. BTW not offended at all. :P
I'm offended that they're offended... I will contribute a like to balance their down-vote!
loved to watch u guys goof around
Most of the comments I'm seeing are people complaining about SJWs and complaints about how people will complain about the flag. But barely any comments where people are offended by the reaction to the flag. Everyone needs to calm down, chill and accept other peoples life choices.
Antstar12 accepting sure but being offended no. People that do not understand the meaning of a flag like the gay flag, do not understand others who fight for being excepted who they are. And thats not ok.
Yep it sucks that some people don't understand the difficulties that others have to go through in life and a little empathy could go along way to improving things but empathy is something very difficult to teach.
Antstar12 you dont teach it . Its what humans have. They should read more news. Near me here in Asia ( indonesia) there will be 2 man getting 80 beatings for having sex and being gay... How can you use there flag and only suport in feeling this way..
(Talks about how others are getting triggered over nothing, and gets triggered over other people getting triggered over the thought of other people getting triggered, then talks about their life struggles)
EDIT:
I love your videos Alec. I seriously wish I made another carrier change a long time ago, this is just awesome.
I love Sam! And I'm saying that being neither gay nor a girl.
And pls hang up this rainbow flag, would be pretty funny and a great sign against discrimination. You are famous, and that's why you have a big responsibility.
not his responsibility though. Not discriminating is everyone else's responsibility. Even if you don't care whether or not someone is gay, you don't have to hang up the flag. That could give the wrong impression.
Just beacause someone is famous doesn't mean they have a bigger responsability
Great video!! hilarious!!
Hammer strikes, on beat, with flying sparks= absolute badassery! !!
Is there something wrong with the gay pride flag?
Dominique LeBlanc Is there something wrong with a straight pride flag?
@@drwhat4574 Yes. Because being proud of something that you (or your community) didn’t earn, don’t suffer any quantifiable amount of harassment or discrimination for, and that only gives you privilege... is conceited and narcissistic.
Your response to the negative comments is fantastic. This kind of attitude is what needs to spread among the teens of the world who are easily bullied online. Not suggesting the solution is that easy, but it would be a lot easier for them to deal if they had a healthier attitude towards online comments.
the rainbow flag does not only represent gay people, it also means friendship and/or peace, you could be proud to exhibit near to the others
Sweet! Love it when smack talk gets a smack down! Yeah Baby, Yeah!
Haha, you are right next to my old snooker club! Legend
Fantastic Work Brother!!!
Alec, I love that you have to go to Canada to get some hot eats!
I like how you cook with Canada! Don't let haters hate!
almost forgot you guys drive on the right side of the car... awesome video, one of the funniest to watch I've seen from you Alec!
you know what you did to the gay flag with slightly offensive just saying I mean I respect if you don't want to do anything with politics or any of the bullshit but still show some respect
nathan g you can support gay rights and not want anything to do with that flag. People will think you're gay if you hang that flag.
nathan g He's got an American flag and a Canadian flag hanging and no one is going to think he's American or Canadian.
sawyer sendelbach and whats wrong with people thinking you're gay?. You be less human?.
Disrespect? In what form? and to answer you xander, it's the same reason the flag exists, *pride*.
Sam's back! love the claw hammer. how about more carpenter's hand tools?
This is not an offended thing just a practical observation, having opened up a mig welder yesterday to check the phase order of the power cord. I found that there were lovely particals of iron dust growing on all the the serfaces that become magnetised during operation. Things were getting near to shorting out. Do you take the time to give you kit a quick blast out with an air line to clear crud out and save on breakdowns?
Note to anyone reading this it is better to ask someone who is experienced with working on equipment with dangerous voltages present inside with the covers off, as poking around when you are unaware of the hazards with just one mistake it can easily be your last.
Now your microwave will have a couple of big magnets in it that will be happy filling up with mattalic particals. Microwaves even when they are unplugged have a rather unfriendly capacitor inside that can be still charged up to a couple of thousand volts, touching it and it's connected wiring can be a total killer when it bites back.
As always great video! Thank you!
Good video! Shows the true purpose of having a work shop. Making cool stuff and dicking about with mates!
Hey Blake! We met at the Steep hollow forge combo demo, I'm friends with Matt Marti, and you were maybe gonna strike for me. Cool to see you! nice hammer!
Eat the slice! Eat the slice!
And now in the news, local knifemaker opens a package with a sharpie XD
Some times the rust around the rim will allow air to leak. Wire brush around edge of rim. No more leak.
Great video as usual. I look forward to the next one.
The look on your face was hilarious 😂
Really love to watch your craftmanship, too bad many of the old trades are fading away due to machines.
Sorry for any miss spelling, i am Danish.
keep up the good work.
cheers
I love the way you brush off the easily offended...
awsome video. Always awsome to see sam. great team work
Hi Alec! New subscriber from across the pond, I've been thumbing through your content for a few weeks now, and I must say, the damascus machete is by far the most impressive blade you've made, personally speaking. Fantastic work, mate. I'd love to see a longer blade, but as a fellow knife worker, longer blades are certainly harder. Thanks for making great content!
Damascus spork, anyone? Can we see how you finish the claw on the hammer, please? Awesome video!
trust me your workshop cleaner than my shop
I'd like to try to make a masonry hammer for my friend. Basically a similar shape as the claw hammer except you don't split the claw side and it's much longer and less curved with a bit of chisel tip.
You sir are a legend!! As a man who's 1.5 times your senior and half as accomplished, thank you for documenting your ventures I am both entertained and amazed.
Btw, Alec, look forward to your videos every day.
You could always take a cue from woodworkers and make a dust collector to hang from the ceiling. Cleans the air and if you find a big enough furnace motor will circulate the shit out of the air and keep it cooler.
Nice job well done!
0:23 All hail the Versatile Sharpie!!!
Superbe ! Ça donne envie de passer voir ton atelier !
That's actually insane!! I grew up in Mile Cross, don't judge me 😉 You must be just around the corner from me. Would love to stop by your shop some time. I'm in town this weekend..?
Keep up the good work!! What kind of steel do you use for your hammers?
It's Sam.. and you can be froto. 😂 couldn't resist. love your vids
Cool tunes always make a good video great.
I made my forge out of a turkey fryer and some fire bricks from lowes. The bricks fit perfectly on top of the fryer stand. Stacked them 2 high and two to cover the hole. Cut a slot in one to slide my steel in and out. It gets pretty hot.
Its a shame people are going to judge just by the way you cook your food. Love the way you took it in a who cares what some people think. Keep up the great videos and keep on hammering.
I appreciate your hard work, creativity, and keeping up with the daily video grind. 😂 pun intended.
You should sweep the dust on floor onto the water that falls through, it should soak up all of that water, same goes for oil spillages.
Like so he can see.
You should take the metal powder from the hammers and make some canister Damascus or something with it
The 8th of November by Big & Rich! You sir, have great taste in music. love your chanel!
a like for the country music. love it.
I stand behind your decision to do whatever the hell you want with your shop. still woulda been cool to see you hang it ;) I'm sure your audience crosses all boundaries and I'm sure you appreciate all of them. do your thing. you have my respect.
Epic video, I need a claw hammer like that in my life!
Tell Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M) to send Sam a respirator as well!!
Found your channel through samarai carpenters channel and i must say....very entertaining....
Great vid.....please let Sam know that I want a Sam the Man Farrier Forge (patent pending).
question, is it possible to magnetized an anvil and hammer then work on Damascus blades? could this affect the outcome of the blade?
Awesome video today!
You need too look into a water cooling block on the backside of your belt sander, that way the belt glue will not get too hot and come apart and your belts will last longer and you can push them a little harder. You tend to find the coolers in really high end machines but you can also retrofit one to yours.
Love the look of those boots, what kind are they?
Thanks Sam!!!
