Alec Steele Blacksmith 2019 - Розваги
Be sure to go check out Fireball Tool's video of cutting out the blade here!!! bit.ly/fireballwaterjet
Alec Steele ever thought of doing a Mokume Gane tracker knife?
Jay Katz mokume would be to soft for a knife blade.
Dylan Tanner good to know. What about a tracker knife in general? Challenging shape?
Jay Katz not particularly. I wouldn’t try a compound grind on your first knife, but it’s shouldn’t be any problem after you acquire some experience. The jimping and other features can easily be milled or filed.
Dylan Tanner you’re killing my dreams of watching someone amazing at their skill make something apparently totally impractical. I can completely understand though
You cannot simply escape my power
YES!
Sorry, Green is behind all this. You've been diss-missed, red.
LOL
LOL
🤣LOL!!!
Next time you're demonstrating a new weapon perhaps the fruit could be replaced with those bottles of red dykom
I love your older style. It's nice to get that style back. Last two episodes felt much more like your learning experience and less as speeding through a project.
TRUTH!!
I feel the Sam way
The videos are some much better with out will
@@jjhehe7836 I think the channel has always been great, but the videos have been much better with 2 guys and Will is a perfect fit. Will has improved the channel and I don't think I'm in the minority thinking that.
As for Alec learning, it's cool to see him struggle through projects and pick up skills, but he's a pro now. Fewer and fewer projects are going to include him trying things for the first time the more experienced he gets.
Jj Hehe nonsense. And very unfair
And you didn't even sing the blue dykem song. :(
Take good care of Murphy, he might save your marriage one day.
Zombie Nation!
My left index finger is a collection of scars.
I was just about to mention that he didn't sing the song after all this time lol. Glad I'm not the only one that misses that.
3:50 i like your humility and nod to Will's expertise and experience. You are a good man, Alec. Been subscribed to ya for a long while now, love the content, love the personalities. Keep up the good work!
I use stones quite a bit when finishing molds (I design and build molds for blow molding and injection molding. Stones will not take as much metal as sand paper but the also will not flex around a sharp edge and dull it like sand paper does. I also can shape the stones with a grinder or belt sander to fit small or weirdly shaped areas. They are not the fastest metal removers but they have their place. We leave them in a bath of lubricant so they are soaked through. That helps them to cut better and break away as they clog to expose more cutting edges.
Yep, stones like that are ideal in the right circumstance. Bulk removal of an edge bevel is not it. Working two surfaces so that they come together perfectly is a better use. Like sear engagement surfaces in a firearm trigger.
For those not well versed in using stones as a cutting tool, it is important that your stone does break down (assuming you'renot using diamond or CBN). Stones are a self sharpening tool, they do that by shedding the grits that have dulled and exposing new grit. If you stone isn't breaking down, you can encounter issues with the surface glazing over or material becoming loaded up onto your stone, both of which will exponentially increase issues with the stone not cutting properly.
What lubricant would you suggest using? I'm sure it's not lighter fluid. Would a firearms CLP be a good lubricant to use?
Yo I think that’s the first time he’s posted 2 videos in one day
No, Jakey, no.
@@Chris_Harris ??? He did. It just depends on your time zone.
@@williamyue7342 He's done it before, Knight so no, he's done it before.
First time I remember
It’s great
F in the chat for Murphy 😢.
This has been a great series! Be interested to see what'll be next.

Hey Alec. Missing those episodes when you teach some stuff also.
Can you make one explaining the difference between using oil and water when sanding. For the stone and sand paper.
You two are killing it. Keep the hard work going!
Hey Alec could you give (in a future video) your explanation on the different types of abrasive belts you use and what they are used for?
60 grit seems to work very well for skin removal
Corvidae65 I can confirm this. My knuckles show marks from this lol.
There are hundreds of types it seems like but the main kinds are ceramic and aluminum oxide. Trizact belts are popular too. Ceramic is good for metal because it last long and cuts into metal well it’s also expensive. Aluminum oxide is good for wood because it’s cheap and less durable. Trizact belts are great for nice clean finishes. They are finishing belts. They are the most expensive I think
I was curious about the same thing, since in the last two episodes he briefly mentioned ceramic belts and another type and would be nice to understand their applications
@@paridegnesotto8466 Ceramics cut quick and cool, which is really nice on steel, but forge scale seems to spoil them and they are not much good on wood in my limited experience. Aluminium oxide are cheap (relatively), robust and work on a wide variety of materials, but slower cutting and make the work hot much faster.
Named his finger Murphy like Murphy’s Law 😂 hope that was on purpose
Poor Will, I think Alec isn't letting him touch the Swordbreaker again
kalcheus would you lol
I noticed the same thing :(. Will needs a win for sure!
Is it Alec not letting him, or is it Will saying "Hell no - wasted enough of my life on that project!"?
I saw this before watching the video and yiuo had me wondering what Will had done now! Thankfully, I mis-interpreted what you wrote.
Maybe he went to get engaged as well.
The moment of silence for your finger was hilarious.
I love Will, but I've missed Alec! These past two episodes have been fantastic!
Glad to see this project is back on track. Always enjoy seeing a craftsman excited about his career.
Yay something to watch to pass the last 20 min of work.
I’m glad you uploaded another video on this project very quickly. Thank you. The last video was kinda lacklustre for me.
What a treat! 2 days, 2 videos! Also, back to having fun and learning as you speak directly to us like the old days! These last two videos feel so much more like the Barker street days with a balance of learning from you and with you which, I think, is the magic that captured your audience.
The blade is turning out amazing. Job well done.
Two episodes in a row! Absolutely splendid
Thank you, Supreme leader.
U would eat the episodes. 😎🇺🇸😜
Alec I am so glad that you keep your personal life separate from your work!! Great job for you as a soon to be husband!!! Keep up the FANTASTIC work!!
A good mark of an ever growing craftsman is their admiration, and respect for the skills of others. Good on you for pointing out Wills skills at 3:40. As one of my mentors always says "Every day is a school day".
thanks for the frequent uploads Alec
If it’s a left-handed weapon, the guard needs to be on the other side!
Sword Breaker is a variant of the Main Gauche, tranlates to left hand.
doubleoh_ wolf speaks the truth. The ring goes on the left.
No the guard is correct, that ring bit should be on the outside right?
The blade is not the main side, it is a tool. The sword breaker side forward should have the guard loop out.
Douglas Chuong the cross guard is correct yes, as it runs perpendicular to the blade. However, the ring needs to guard the knuckles of the four fingers rather than the thumb. As such, the ring needs to go on the side of those knuckles.
skoitch in that case then, yes, that would work!
Alec, you should make a sword and shield for the blue dykem so it can do battle with that crazy red!
The close ups on the project at the end of the video were amazing! Great idea, we get a great view of the progress made on the blade. keep up the good work!
Watching him make this sword breaker using of all of his modern tools and technology and seeing all the problems he had doing it gives one a strong sense of awe and appreciation for the 15th century smiths that made them just using a charcoal forge. Of course I’m sure none of them would match the quality that this will turn out to be.
Howdy Alec....I see you managed to banish Cthulhu between the end of the last vid and the start of this one....and got your beloved blue Dichem back! Men like Armitge and Wilmarth applaud you! Also, that's a beautiful blade you have going!
Hey I got a shout out for the finger damage!
I feel like the last 2 episodes we were following you along rather than watching you just do stuff. Love the different style.
My favorite UA-cam show. Alec and Will are awesome. Congrats to Alec for getting engaged!
Wohooo, first time seeing a video so fresh out of the forge :)
Christoph Pirringer Welcome to the notification squad. We’re happy you’ve joined us here
Might want to get that looked at, chief.
i love these kinds of series that you do 😁 and im loving this sword breaker😚!!!!!!!!!
Craftsmanship has stepped up so many levels since you started. Clean.
Alec: Moment of silence for my finger...ok that’s enough
Me: *Go to a damn doctor*
I was about to head in early to work when I got the notification, eh I have plenty of time.
Three-in-one my favorite oil it's great keeping things from rusting cleaning and sanding got to love it
I'd almost forgotten what it's like watching Alec do some of the work!!
You should wrap your finger up and clean it with alchohol and peroxide and neosporin triple antibiotic to help prevent infection have a blessed day
was told not to use neosporin with a wound like that. yes is has antibiotics but it keeps the wound moist which will slow down healing time. best to keep it clean and dry as much as possible. i know easier said than done with your work.
@@targ I'm a roofer I get these kind of wounds all the time and a little neosporin will work and not keep it super moist and I know this from experience
@ L Lugo. I get it, not saying it wouldn’t work just passing on what a hand surgeon recommended to me.
Alcohol and Peroxide are too aggressive - will damage the tissue and significantly slow down healing. I've never had a cut get badly infected by just clean tap water and maybe some savlon (antiseptic, not an antibiotic - I'm in the UK, so antibiotic creams are not widely avaliable over the counter w/o prescription). I'm pretty strongly against overuse of antibiotics due to the dangers of antibiotic resistance, and using them for a minor cut seems totally pointless in my experience.
Actually looks ok- just keep it clean and let it heal by secondary intention
If Dykem doesn't start sponsoring you, I think you need to step up your sponsorship game.
So many cool shots!!
It’s my birthday! What’s a better gift than watching my favorite UA-camr create something beautiful! Thank you Alec
Happy birthday! :)
Greeeeen Dykem. I now own you, Alec!
Ookie Dokie? That's not Alec. Alec would say Oakily Doakily! Ohhh Green Dykem what have you done with Alec?
Hey Alec you should forge a great-sword for a project some time
Alternative Gaming All his swords are great😜 haha 🗡
He already did🤙
He made a claymore already. I doubt he’ll make a proper greatsword anytime soon.
Definitely starting to take shape!! It's gonna be epic!!!
I learned about transfer blue from my navy a-school. We use it when lapping valve seats or discs to make sure they seal nicely to each other.
F to pay respects to Murphy...
yes please go back to cranking out videos everyday!!
These last 2 episodes have been a lot more fun. More like some of the stuff from before your move. Keep it up!
I was so torn seeing red dykum AND blue dykum on the sword breaker! But Alec fixed it by covering the red with the blue before grinding them both away!
First time wearing cut-resistant gloves on the grinder wonder why LOL
If you don't wear gloves when grinding or using a wire wheel, you can get some ugly looking painful cuts, but they are minor. If you are wearing cut resistant gloves, they can get caught in the grinder. The injuries that result are way worse. Sprains, broken bones, and (NSFW/NSFL) degloving injuries. Degloving is an injury where the skin gets caught, tears, and is removed forcibly.
I'd rather have the minor cut or scrape.
@@TheCoffeehound yeah I agree
100% wear gloves when you can, where I work, latex gloves for pretty much everything, cheap, and able to use fingernails and fine tune.
The problem with the stones is the way you're using them. You need to wrap the stones with sandpaper before you use them, i'm sure you'll get a better result that way.
Love this series
It warms my heart to see blue dykem finally make its way back into your life!!!
I've never been here this soon after you posted. Will make a better comment after watching.
Put some peppermint oil on that finger asap! It'll kill that infection so it can heal. If you don't have any oil, get some plain peppermint tea and use the teabag like a poultice.
Really liked the editing and Alex's added "acting" in the video. For some reason this one stands out !!!!
This video has been a great change of form in my opinion, Nice to have this style back instead of the way things had been going! Please keep it this way and less speed running to completion, I'm loving the explanation and the experience and the knowledge and everything
Nobody:
Alec: MoMeNt Of SiLeNcE fOr My FiNgEr
Why isn't will wearing the ring you made him?
I don't remember Alec making Will a ring
@@timschrier903 woooosh
How poetic is it that Murphy and your middle finger join forces when you cross them for good luck?
My projects don't really begin until I have bled a bit so, you're on the right track!!!
You need to collaboration with demolition ranch. You two would be great together
You should engrave something into that blank spot behind the teeth, that would solve your esthetics problem
So glad the blue dykum is back; a much more beautiful color, and better contrast with the scribe lines. You'll have to compose a full-on blue dykum ballad to welcome it back to the shop.
Thank you Alec for bringing that beautiful blue color back to your work. Jolly good show sir. Well done
Murphy as in Murphy's law? ;-)
That makes so much more sense than what I thought lol
@@declancooney4809 did you think Robocop? :-D
Hah that was my first thought as well. If something can get caught in a machine, it will.
Z Nation actually. Since it was cut up and infected. The main "antagonist" through the show is named The Murphy because he's the only one who has been bitten but hasn't changed. Thought since he's a zombie nerd that would be funny. But I think you're on target for likelihood lol
Alec Steele you inspired me to be a youtuber
I love the upload schedule from the past 4 days. Keep it up
Have you tried using a file with chalk applied to the teeth to get the surface finish. We used this method in our apprenticeship when learning draw filing. We made a tool makers clamp from two bars of mild steel and through a combination of filing and scraping by hand (using a surface plate and transfer blue to mark the high spots 👍) we had to get it flat enough that the bars would create a vacuum and hold together.
early??
Come on Alec let us meet the fiancee you made the please stop teasing us
Woah! So many videos this week! I ain’t mad.
Would be great to have Will provide tons of tricks and details when fitting the guard.
Dammmmmnnnn never clicked so fast lmao
I was very happy to see a follow up video so quick! I just wish I could figure out how to edit so I can load videos.
Its good to see you explain your basics knowledges to new subs ;)
Those stones are very good for highly detailed and hard material. I am a machinist and we use them to sharpen carbide tools. May not be great for removing material but for more fine work its great.
Epic comeback from a broken blade. It's like it never broke!
Keep up the great work!
The Swordbreaker look AWESOME!!!
Awesome Alec!!! Thanks!
He’s back!!!! Looks like Alec has finally settled in. I have missed this style of video. Look forward to see both men operating at 100% I felt like Will was left to do all the dirty work Haha! Two favorite smiths!!
Finally an Alec episode! I love Will but we need more Alec.
I prefer this calm, low energy Alec.
Congrats on the engagement
As someone in 2020 who is going back and watching all the episodes I missed the red vs blue dykem is the most normal thing I have seen in a few months.
I love your work you got me in to black Smithing and I love it so much thanks for your amazing work
loved the music on this one
Its nice to actually see Alec in front of the camera again. :D
Lol a treat... just finshed 7 right now!
Greatly enjoying this series. I would like to see something that can showcase or highlight engraving and stone setting skills like perhaps a jambiya.
Thank you!!! For wearing those gloves again!!
How i miss waking up on sundays and watch your livestream from saturday night, with simple cameras, drinking game with the hammer drop, and simple projects, those were good days.
YOUR AWESOME Alec !!!
Alec the thing on the side of your finger is a verruca, it'd be best to go to a pharmacy and they'll give you a cream or a freezing tool to get rid of it. They are also mildly contagious by contact so you may find that more will grow on other fingers. So the longer you have it the longer it'll take to get rid of.
3:30am just a little too early for me. But I’m here now and ready for more earth breaking work
Simple green on edm stones cleans them easier and helps lube bevels.
I laughed so hard with him naming his finger Murphy hahahahaha!!!!
