    My name is Alec Steele and I am a 20 year old blacksmith from Norfolk in the United Kingdom. I upload a vlog from my day at the workshop almost every single day. Lots of sparks, lots of making, lots of fantastic-ness. Great to have you here following along!
    What do I make? LOTS of Damascus steel, knives, swords, axes and more and of course, I always love hearing your suggestions for future projects in the comments below!

      Seriously Alec, I've noticed you putting yourself down what your education is concerned at times. I'm a Dutch guy living in Paris these days.. (Still hoping to cross Alex on the streets some time, but that aside) your French really is pretty darn good! Don't keep putting yourself down!
      Yes, you're still young and I might be almost twice your age... But just look at how mindboggeling good your are already at your craft... your art...
      I imagine you 20 years from now, and you wouldn't be competing on something like forged in fire, you'd be the top judge there!
      Your humbleness, your attitude and personality, the your tour de force approach to every little thing you attempt makes you all just more endearing to me.
      Beyond your videos, beyond your projects and beyond everything else, the way you approach life, the way you approach everything you do and everybody you meet... We could use a whole lot more of that in this world.
      (Oh, and Alex... Now that you're back from Italy and back from the UK as well apparently, you don't know just how much I'm waiting for you to figure out how to make some decent mozzarella at home... I've had the présure [rennet] laying around for a while now from even before you made your first ep on that topic... Your methodical approach is going to save me so much time to figure this all out myself! I won't even bother to mention my nascent Ramen addition. )

      That could actually allow for a really, really cool Damascus pattern- sort of like a squared, grid-like Raindrop-ish pattern? Poke little pyramid holes in something, then squash it flat from the side?

    • @Kataclysm113
      @Kataclysm113 6 років тому +3

      i dont think that would entirely work like that, because poking holes in it and then squishing it flat from the side would just make a bunch of cold shuts, but if you hit it from the top with the pyramid spikes until they've bade a bunch of indents, and then ground the top off until it was flat, you could get a sort of concentric grid pattern.

      I am a fan of Alex's channel too. He is an engineer by training, not a chef, who became interested in cooking and started a youtube channel to chronicle his learning. Part of what makes his channel so interesting is the engineers approach he takes to learning and experimentation with cooking and food. As a bonus he's totally nuts, in the most delightful way.

      he is kind of guy that when making videos about knife sharpening, makes a device which tells him if he is holding the knife under the correct angle.
      When making pasta he is using electric drill instead of a handle
      while making noodles, he made a website that is noodle food generator.
      Now he tried to make a mozzarella, sucked at it, then went to Italy to see how its done.

    You should make a "basic" damascus steel kitchen knife set with like a chef's knife, butcher's knife, steak knives and whatever else kind of kitchen knife/knives. Each having having a different damascus pattern (steak knives all the same). Then somehow let your viewers buy entries for a chance for a random person to win the set of knives and having the money raised go to a charity of your (or the winner's) choosing. I know it would be a lot of work but I think it would be a cool idea to give your fans a chance to own something that you made that they can use everyday and to help out a good cause.

As always keep up the awesome work, and eat well man. Thank you for such awesome content as always, and I would absolutely LOVE to see a bit more food related things. Whether it's chef's knives, mallets, or even backyard cooking sets. Please never forget where you started from, and who you inspire.. Backyard smiths that want things practical, and will be used on a daily basis. I personally love camp cooking. I love cooking, and making things to cook on/with when I go camping. That truly brings me the greatest joy out of all the thing I've ever made. Friends, family, food, and the outdoors. You inspire me very much everyday. Thank you so very much.
