Way to bring back the win dude. Its awesome to see what you’re doing and that other people can find pleasure in your success. Thanks for sharing the content!
Here I am an old man listening to this young man’s journey and smiling the whole time. Congratulations Will!
Very impressive, a well-deserved pass, and win. And on selling all your knives. It was great hearing about the show. Better, even, than watching a video of the actual event, as your enthusiasm, relief and well-deserve pride were so genuine, I felt like a proud dad hearing about my kid's success. Good on you, mate.
Congratulations, Will! Hey, I have a project idea: how about a machete, but just over the top with details? I’m talking integral bolster, maybe pattern Damascus, maybe texture on the spine; whatever your creativity leads you to do.
This, but with a butter knife.
@@U014B matching set
@@aarondurbin6089 I agree, a matching set is the only option here
Yess please, all of the above!
Maybe even some engraving and gold inserts? :D
Glad to meet another eagle scout. It built me into the man I am today,
Congratulations Will on passing your journeyman blade smith exam & for winning best chefs knife. You really couldn't have had a better blade show.
Winning best chefs knife just proves that you don't need to take a month to make a perfect knife. Just stop overthinking everything and make the great knives you are very capable of making.
Congrats on getting you journeyman. Next step Master Smith. Great job they all looked great the chefs knife was my favorite.
one of my favorite moments of blade show 2022 was buying a "forge or die" poster from Will and having him sign it on my birthday. Thx Will!
Huge congratulations! It has been such a pleasure watching you grow as both a blade smith, and a UA-cam Creator! Even though we've never met or spoken I view you as a mentor! Keep you the fantastic work! I look forward to the videos you will make of your journey to become a Master blade smith!
It's good to see bladesmiths have a presence here on UA-cam.
"When I left you I was but the learner. Now ... I am the [journeyman]."
I love that you sold your test pieces to a fellow maker. (An obviously smart man who knows a 'collectible' when he sees one.)
Congrats man, you deserve it.
Keep working as hard as you do, you'll continue to have all the success.
Are buddy, congratulations. You're a machine. It was great to see you and Alec getting to spend time together too. I'm glad everything went so well..God Bless buddy
Two of my favorite blacksmiths got their Journeyman! Sweet! Stagmar and Stelter!
Hi Will, Congratulations on your achievement.
I remember watching you when you were at Alec's shop and admired the work you did there and your commitment to perfection.
i wish you well into the future.
Well done.
Regards Dennis.
I hope that set never gets broke up. I can't imagine having Will Stelter's journeymen test set. WOW
Congratulations on the journeyman. I remember how excited I was when I got my journeyman as an electrician.
Congrats Wil, I have been following you and Alex for Years I've enjoyed watching you guys make cool stuff & Knives. I'm almost 69 yrs old & wish I could do stuff like that. I hope you make it to the Top as a Master Knifemaker.
While I'm a little sad we didn't get to see the making of your knives, I'm also really glad you didn't split your attention between making your journeyman works and trying to record video. Congratulations!
Congratulations on the Journeyman stamp, Will! Well deserved all round. You brought some beautiful blades to the show, and frankly they couldn't have given the award to a better man.
Congratulations Will, that’s quite an accomplishment sir! I didn’t become a Journeyman in my chosen field until I was 30 & l started when I was 12. I saw a photo of you and the other JS right after the Blades show, I kept meaning to congratulate you. I’m almost 60 and just starting to forge knives, I’m a Master Welder/Fabricator. I don’t think I can get to Master Smith, but maybe I can squeak out a Journeyman Smith stamp someday.
Congratulations! That's great to hear that you passed your Journeyman!
To tell you the truth, I had no doubt that you would get your journeyman status, your work is freaking awesome, congrats on your win and the trophy, get video, your an inspiration 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Congratulations! Now the fun begins to getting to Master Bladesmith!
Congrats man!
suggestion for a future project - some kind of fan collaboration where you surprise a fan by stopping in their shop and working with them on a blade. i think it would make great footage and that lucky smith would have the time of their life.
Congrats on passing and on the win! I'm sure it's a long road from Journeyman to Master, but I hope we continue to get to see your journey, man.
Oooohhh I’m SO HAPPY for you dude! Absolutely a deserved win on both accounts. You put the heart, effort, soul, tears (of joy and sorrow) and work and work and work into your craft so completely. You are a true inspiration to many, even us folks who have never even seen a forge, but try to better ourselves in other ways. Thank you for all of it! ❤️🙏🏻
Congrats dude! Been a pleasure watching your journey as a smith over the years. Next stop: Master!
Congratulations Will, and the other Smith's who passed, commiserations to those who didn't keep trying.
Congratulations sir. From the knives I have seen you make on youtube I had little doubt that you were going to get your journeyman's rating. Well done.
Congratulations- you have obviously worked hard and it is great to see that acknowledged
