Alec, having the commentary made this an AWESOME video. More like this please.
Really great video, I always appreciate how you can adjust your close ups so we can really see how the metal moves. Also... Sam sitting motionless while you run around at super speed was hilarious

I've been addicted to your videos, I found them two weeks ago and watched every day since. great personality. I must, I mean MIUST make my own hammer now. thank you Alec the smithtainer!
Alec, I enjoyed the instruction you gave during this video. keep up the good work. Rock on!
damn youngster had to subscribe I've been welding for 25 years never got into blacksmithing when I started to research and making knives I found this whole world I didn't even know about thanks for making videos an old Berner me can learn something
Robert Atwood dang Robert you on here too? This Alec is as cool a channel as I’ve ever seen!!! I think I found me a new hobby.
hey dude, I just discovered you a couple of days ago, and I can't wait to watch all your videoes, it's really awesome to see another young guy being so skillful, keep it up
+clement583 thank you so much, Clement!!! Thrilled you're enjoying the channel 😃
That's a hug hammer to swing. That'll tire out even Paul Bunion. Lol Wasn't able to hear Joe last night. Ended up fast forwarding through it to see if it cleared up. Ended up way past the interview. Thanks Alec for doing all the massive video work.
Just subscribed yesterday and now I´m really pumped for some new forging projects. Thanks Alec for exellent content!!

Alec Steele :)
Nice Work Alec Keep It Up Man.
hey Alec, do you still have some of the first tools you made, if so can we see them?
keep well matey
for folks who haven't got the frame of reference on how much arm strength Alec has, forging a twelve pound sledge is like flipping around a gallon jug of milk with tongs. only it'll burn you for mistakes.
Awesome sledge! I would love to see a video of it in action. I'm sure it will move some steel.
Great video! Keep it up. I'm loving your channel.
love your vids, can't wait to attend a course! :)
Nice video and nice hammer, well done!
Great video. Superb filming/editing.
Question: What is the purpose of isolating the cheeks from the faces?
Loved the video alec
very good hope to buy one in the future keep up the good work my friend
hey. I absolutely love your videos. I haven't watched one video that I did not enjoy !! I was just wondering what type of steel you used to make this hammer ?
alec any chance would can have video of big sledge like this from start to finish , grinding and handle included . thanks
Really great video!!!
nice work...
The Pilkington has great finesse, what I lack with my homemade hammer
Great! Always a medium carbon steel?
Great work. Inspiration! Where did you collect all the Great Machines you work with
+HelloitsMe9 eBay! Thank you very much!
That big ass power hammer doing all the job for you, all the time.
I vote for sledges as your next hammer run lol
do you by chance have any of your striking anvils for sale?
Yippy love it!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
I WANT TO OWN A 3.5 LB OF YOURS!!! And I want to build one!!!
cool press
Gute Arbeit und schönes Video. Wie viele Maschinenhämmer und Pressen hast Du in deiner Kleinen Werkstatt?
Das läuft ja wie am Fließband. Grüße aus Schweden
What is the biggest sledge you have forged and can it be made of Damascus?
Good evening you brilliant man you! PLZ make me a (still wieldable) World of Warcraft Paladins warhammer preferably an easy one like Uther the lightbringers hammer or prince Arthas's 🔨 love your work my man!
No quenching, I'm surprised.
man i hope i have some time the oppertunity to use a powerhammer, i love cuting steel on the
Lathe at my workplace sorry for my poor enlgish :D
greetings from Germany :D
+BioTec 315 it's crazy fun!
to cool I like it..
What if you made a slip through handle style hammer?
great video! what's the music name?
Cool thing
What type of steel do you use for your hammers?
1045
Curious, what advantages does a hand forged hammer have over a store-bought mass produced one? Besides the obvious: esthetics and authenticity. I.e. does the metal have better properties? Stronger?
Jared R you can choose the type of steel and how hard or how soft you want it to be
When do we get to see the 12lb Damascus Hammer?
I do as you ask Alec and being already subscribed it unsubscribes me !! * think about it!"
Ahhh! Don't do that!! 😜
I wouldn't unsub Alec I enjoy your videos to much it is just the repetitive asking to subscribe if those of us who have followed your request you would have no subscribers ! EG!
If someone didn't have access to a power hammer or a helper, Is it possible to make this size sledge by yourself?
jmc041071 I don't think so
Could you make a 26 pound sledgehammer and if so how much
What is the benefit of fullering?
Same question ⬆ does fullering do anything to maintain structural integrity of its it just looks?
Fullering moves metal to where you need it with maximum metal displacement with minimum distortion to the work piece.
Yes that's how it works, but that's not what we're asking. What is the benefit, if any compared to a straight hammer? Why fuller a hammer?
+NotSure177 Aesthetics now!
can you forge a 20 pound one ?
+kevin dahlr biggest ive done was 15lbs!!!
Wait, where are you from? You use lbs?
It seems that the floor around the machines need to be lowered or machines raised? I bet you would be less of an awkward angle I know you're young but seeing you crouch around like that hurts my back LOL
Can you make one 60 pounds
Where's the handle
Why to have those "cheeks"? Is those just for the looks? You seem to do them almost on every hammer or sledgehammer.
Rickemann i know I’m late but it increases the surface contact to the handle making it harder for the head to slip off potentially
is it even possible to forge a sledge like that with hand tools? i assume it must be, but damn..
Lewis Lowder I would tell you it's possible but using a striker is almost a necessity
Make one without a power hammer lol.
