Alec Steele Blacksmith 2022 - Розваги
An idea for another project, making a leatherman/multitool. Would love to see how you tackle that project
Great idea.
Damascus leatherman!
A Damascus butterfly knife multi tool Leatherman
Would love this
Fantastic idea.
If it takes 47 videos to finish this little build…….i will watch 47 videos. These are oddly satisfying seeing how much detail goes into something so small. So keep making videos and we will keep watching!!!!
69th like. I'll take it.
But yeah exactly. Just imagine this being even smaller 😂 would easily tick the 80-100 episodes. And I'll watch them all 😂
Absolutely will watch @alexsteele struggle through 47 episodes making this tiny steam power hammer and another 47 episodes using it to forge hobbit tools 😂
Fr they could each be an hour long and I’d still watch it
I gave up years ago when it was taking 10 episodes to make a sword, though I'd circle back and it's still the same. Good luck.
Here here!!
I'm enjoying these episodes from your "This Old Alec" phase
Agreed, I like the change up and, in the end, seeing Alec have fun is as good as anything.
That being said I love how scared you are that we're all going to leave.
I've been here for 5 years, I will never leave, thank you for all the entertainment and education!
I 100% agree - I stopped watching the American phase cos it was more like mass production. I was expecting him to by a 3D metal printer and just cad everything.
THIS is the content I like, terror and mistakes
@@piccalillipit9211I quite like the US stuff as it was fun in a “Big Epic” kinda way and there was some great to and fro between Alex and Will, that said it’s moved on to an equally great place and Alec continues to be inspiring in his own crazy way.
@@davidedwards4125 I dont say others should dislike it. But I didnt - Will was great though.
I came here for forging videos a few years ago but now I love watching machining videos too which means we progress together. PS I stayed here for your energy Alec so keep that up.
With the mini power hammer he's committed to forging a mini long sword.
get another collab with the pocketblacksmith or whatever he was called@@davesmith5656
I’m really digging this project. Seeing Alec struggle and grow as a craftsman is awesome.
Nice to see a multiple part long series. Also the detailed self reflection on what could be better.
This is exactly the kind of meaty, skill-building project I'm here for. I'll be smashing that Like button on every episode.
lol I actually heard Alec’s voice while I was reading this one. Well done!
Honestly there were a few builds you did before the lamp that didn’t really interest me but this power hammer and the lamp y’all made are super cool. They feel less forced. What you personally enjoy doing will always be more entertaining than trying to force your excitement for something you think will get more views. You have great ideas. Keep them coming!!
13:31 the top of the hole is bigger in diameter because you have a very long thin tool. At first, the forces on it aren't that strong, but the further you move down, the bigger the strain gets, bending your tool, making your diameter smaller.
I recommend cutting the same diameter 2-3 times. That way you'll get a consistent diameter from top to bottom.
but the tool is always making contact on its very end, no matter if you bore the top or the bottom of the hole. The only difference is that the spindle is being extended, however i would say that its possible bend is negligible when compared to the bend of the tool.
the only thing i can think of is that throughout the cut, the settings on the boring head are being changed - something is not tight enough as it needs to be to not get pushed back by the resistance of the material
Keep at it Alec, I'll be watching til I see you forge the worlds smallest sword with it! as a machinist myself its always nice to see people give it a go, outside of their comfort zone, and seeing the happiness on your face as you progress is great to watch. Keep the faith!
I love long series like these. So glad you are taking this project on. Impressive!
Gotta love a good day in the shop. Sometimes, you just can't beat it. :)
I do hope we get to a point where you forge pieces like these yourself then you machine them to spec. I want to see a damascus steel steam engine.
Could you try making a hand plane from scratch? That could be a cool series
Also, first!😉
this hammer is a very good Apprentices piece
you can learn all important machining basics, some assembly, and in the end you can craft Micro knifes with it
My suggestion is to show as many similar parts on the full size machine as you can. And that outro was great lol
This reminds me of the "projects" that were left for you on your desk in my first metal working class in high school.
Our first "project" kit was a section of piano hinge, a lunchbox handle, 2 metal latches, a handful of rivets and a sheet of steel. For our second project, I walked into class and on my desk was a 6" piece of 1.5" aluminum bar stock (that's aluminium to you), and 10" of 1/4" drill rod.
The first project taught us the layout and marking of sheet steel, the metal brake an arranging bend sequences, snips, riveting and spot welding. The second project taught us caliper and micrometer measuring, lathe skills (like facing, knurling and center drilling), and hammer forging and quenching. I'm 53 now and the two items made in that first semester of 11 grade are still in my workshop and see regular use. LOL.
I'd love to attend a machining course where you walk in the first day and this mini powerhammer kit is just staring up at you from your desk.
You should make your own boring bar thingy. This old Tony and artisan makes have good videos from when they made their own. Pretty tricky challenge I think you'd enjoy creating. DO IT ALEC!!! I've been watching you since 10k subs, by the way. Love you videos!
I'm loving this series. I will watch all 47 episodes!
We're along for the ride!!
11:49 Shoutout to Jamie! The music at this part really helps set the ambiance.
I'm much more in to this series than 'yet another Damascus...'. Would love one of the videos, or a segment, in this machining series to be a parody of TOT, genuinely think between you both you could pull that off and still make it your own.
Combine the two and remake the steam hammer out of Damascus 😅
Damn, the editing with the music and drilling to the beat was 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoy watching a craftsman who enjoys his craft.
I absolutely love that his passion for this has grown this much
Alec, you should immediately find something clean to cover that granite surface plate with. It's probably not a bad idea to dedicate a corner of your office for metrology. The grinding room as a very dirty jobs area is an amazing idea. When you get into granite surface plate metrology, you need a very clean room in your shop as well. It's going to make your precision measurement tools last a lot longer.
I love your bipolar size-switching! From ridiculously large, to ridiculously small, you're the man!
Alec! No UA-cam creator works harder than you to bring us all entertaining content consistently. Thank you for all you do.
David!!
I love your videos, I actually have the dragonrider ring from your templates on my desk here,
I built it a year ago!🤙😎
And you are absolutely right, Alec is an amazing craftsman!!!
@@seangerst6561 That's awesome Sean! Glad to see you here.
I'm really loving this series with the precision machining. Absolutely fantastic!
Jaime is one of the best video editors on this platform
I'm loving this series, it's so good to see every step of your learning:)
That is so cool! I really appreciate showing the effort a translation from the technical drawings into reality requires. It all _seems_ so easy at first - there's the drawings, the pieces are roughly shaped already, just make this straight, drill here, done. What an amount of information needs to be read out of the plans and then made into actual steps is something I would never have considered.
you're going through some of the same issues as the makers of the big hammers. My grand father worked in a foundry and machine shop that made power hammers as well a natural gas engines. the stories he'd tell. at least you have more modern equipment. your doing great keep up the great work
As somebody who has never (and has no interest in pursuing) working with metal, i absolutely love the satisfaction of the puzzle solving in these videos. Hopefully feeding the almighty algorithm by leaving a comment.
I usually wait until the whole project is done and binge the whole thing, but this mini hammer has me hooked.
What I've always liked about your video's over the years has been watching you figure out how to do things. Even though this isn't blacksmithing or forging, it is fun watching you learn how to make a precision tool.
Loving the series so far!
I am happy as heck to see you begin precision machining.
These are fascinating. More 47 part projects would be welcome.
As others have said, I'm here for the 47-part series. Very cool project!
If you are not truly excited about and enjoy what you are working on, the video suffers. There are other blacksmith channels. I keep coming back to yours because I enjoy learning something new,
and sometimes how not to do something of course, as you show how you learn. The enthusiasm is infectious. If you were suddenly all about grinding cinder-blocks into garden gnomes, as long as you truly enjoyed it, I'd still show up. Do what you enjoy. Continue to learn and share it. I personally fully think that is what built the channel. Keep seeking knowledge, challenges, and new experiences that are exciting and interesting to you. Odds are, we'll find them exciting and interesting too, and if not, we will at least enjoy being able to see you chase new problems to solve and gain new skills. I bet the algorithm is a nightmare to dance around, and can't imagine what its really like to make youtube into a career, but I can say I'd hate to see you live as a slave to it.
Really loving this series where you make something that is truly difficult for you and your current skillset. It seems like I'm watching your personal growth in the craft with each video. And I can tell that you're feeling accomplished after every step
these are the kind of projects i love personally so im here for it no matter how long it goes.
Super looking forward to this whole series
I love the detail and precision of this series; keep up the great work Alec!!
I absolutely love this series!
I am loving this series in all seriousness
You see this is why I watch you! You can forge anything you like but to be a true master of metal you have to be able to do anything with it and your very much proving you can!
I find it very interesting but moving/making metal things is what I do :) keep up the content, it’s great!
not boring at all mate, i love this series!!
This is brilliant, thank you for the series
Loving this project so far.
I'm really enjoying this series. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely love this series!
love that you are loving what you are doing. fun to watch!
Can we just take a moment to appriciate the casual use of the word 'Caddywampers' here (9.10).
Excellent work Alec as always!
Love this, it just goes to show how difficult machining things can really be. You're videos always make me happy Alec!!
Started watching this channel years ago to learn how to make hammers...
Worth it
I’m a hobbiest woodworker with zero intention to ever work with metal or forging and I absolutely love this channel and this series! Been watching for years now and I’m still enjoying. Alec’s enthusiasm is always so entertaining!
I'm loving the machining videos, loved the ones where you cleaned the bridgebort and set it up
Please keep going with this series! Definitely enjoying it right along with you!
Wojld love to see some knive builds again. Maybe a 6inch outdoor survival knive
What a cool series so far. I like it a lot so far. Stuff like that is kind of what I'm here for and it reminds me of the times you didn't know how to forge blades yet in your old workshop.
I enjoy these videos immensely, so excited to see the next steps and the final thing!
I shall be watching each and every installment of this series!!! Love this
really enjoying this series so far. can't wait for more
this hobby project requires more kit and tools than anyone could even own!
Love the project. From mega lamp to tiny powerhammer ❤
I'm loving these videos with the machining side of things. Keep it up!!
im loving this series keep up the hard work
How Alex got his groove back! Looking forward to some long series of learning new things!
Ive watched your channel a long time and I'm loving this series genuinely.. i am properly enjoying watching you on the lathe and working to specs from plans
I love this series! So fun to watch!
This is one of your coolest projects yet!
Fun project and series! Keep on going!
Yo! I love this series please go all the way!
Alec I have been loving this project so far. Keep it coming!
I'm so psyched to see this litte thing running!
This series reminds me of the old projects, so keep it going even for 40+ episodes, we're used to it
I'm really liking this series. It really compliments the forging-heavy series well.
Jamie did an awesome job on the edit!
I'm loving this series, Alec. It's also really cool to see you focus in and really challenge yourself to take as long as you need to do it right (or at least as right as can be realistic for now). Your joy and energy still come through even as your process matures.
I honestly find this a lot more interesting than yet another knife build.
amazing to see such precision work
I'm really liking this series, please continue it. I would love to see it finished and working, even forge something tiny with it. Cheers!
its so interesting to see a machinist project like this, hope to see more
I am enjoying this series. Keep it up Alec!
Really enjoying it. Your confidence is back
Awesome series!! I'm already hyped for the next episode.
loving the machining. watching you learn and working through mistakes is one of the major reasons ive watched you for years now.
Really loving this series.
Love this video series!! Keep it coming!
Can't wait to watch the rest of the series. Please keep them going.
I enjoy watching you try your hand at precision machining. You can compensate on the Piston to match the cylinder bore. Half of prototype work is knowing where to adjust for things that happen and still have a working model.
I love that Alec always gives shoutouts to people in the comments that leave him good advice, and that he follows that advice. I would argue that the best thing Alec has ever made is this community of friendly and respectful enthusiasts with varying degrees of knowledge and experience but who all share an appreciation for great craftsmanship by Alec, great cinematography by Jamie, and excellent doggos.
I'll keep watching as long as we get a 47 part series. Loving it so far!
I’m loving this project! I’m totally fine with 47 episodes
im loving these videos and im happy to see you getting very exited about this new project
Loving this series. Please finish it
Love this project! Can’t wait for the next 40 parts!
This is a really cool contrast from the big lamp, that had all the problem solving and testing theories, to this with detailed precision work, lots of machines and their idiosyncrasies. Loving the range mate!
i love watching you learn machining, soo etertaining
