Alec Steele Blacksmith 2022 - Розваги
Oh, before you say "That's only 14ft". We decided after making the base that we want to make the lamp larger... new steel is on it's way 😂
it really is, ive very limited experience in shooting stuff myself and being able to crack jokes and communicate while still shooting and getting all the coverage is not easy! @@sup445
What about a Guinness World Records attempt for largest anglepoise light, there a record for largest floor light at 9.16 m (30 ft) high and was created by Fredrik Raddum and Martin Raddum in Oslo, Norway in February 2013.
With the shots and the editing style on this video I wasn't sure if this was an Alec Steele build or a music video 😂 loved it 👌🏼
I'm not worried about the size of the body, I'm wondering how you're going to get bulb big enough for it.
If you're making it about 5x larger, you're going to need either an E135 screw fitting and an E135 lamp (this doesn't exist, E27 is the largest screw fitting commercially available), so Alec is going to have to turn a new (damascus) lamp thread and socket and also take up glas blowing. You could go with a B110 fitting, but again B22 is the normal commercial bayonet fitting so there may be some issues sourcing that.
You're taller in the morning because your body has not yet compressed to the gravity throughout the day.. may be a negligible amount of extra height, but still taller
The note that it made is a slightly sharp G4, or a Very flat A5 flat. So yeah, Alec you got it pretty close.
This is what I found as well, remarkably close for a random object.
I think Jamie might actually be one of the best editors on UA-cam, it’s all just incredible
Personally i hate that type of editing, i prefare to be able to actually see whats happening
I know, I'm in love with the music choices. The editing is top notch, but the music is just *chefs kiss*
@@ALATON157"hate" huh? Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine.
I was thinking the same thing. This is a great edit. Well done Jamie. Music choices were stellar. That new black and white thing was awesome too. Well done.
Lixian from Markiplier is outstanding too, his use of animation and improv acting from mark is second to none.
I love seeing more "behind the sceens" style of filming. We get to see you act like people just having fun, as well as seeing yall produce great content!
I agree. It would be cool if Jamie mounted some birds eye view cameras capturing the whole process for choice moments when such interactions are worth seeing. Lord knows Jamie is probably just begging for at least a few hundred extra gigs per project.
I love the levity in this video, Alec and Jamie bts clips were hilarious, amazing filmography as well, well done lads
I was laughing so hard I was in tears. A great project and great editing.
Hey Alec, great video! Fun and different to the normal content.
As a mechanical engineer in the crane industry (hook blocks and swivels) can I give you one piece of advise though?
That shaft that you welded to the plate, you should consider remaking that. Run the shaft through both bearing blocks and through the base of tuning fork and weld it to the top plate. With all the weight that you are gonna put on top that will become a weak point when you start rotating and moving all that mass. It would be a shame if it all comes crashing down!
If you look at the original lamp you can see they have actually done the same (although probably for manufacturing reasons). If you leave the shaft at the bearing block a bit longer you could thread the end and put a hex nut or halve hex nut on the shaft, secure it with a cotter pin and hey ho presto that thing ain’t going anywhere.
Looking forward to the end result, cheers!

Can you explain whether using two pillow block deep groove bearings is really more suitable for axial loads? I don’t quite see the logic in that. Wouldn’t a tapered roller bearing be much more suited to the task?
@@nielscremer599 tapered roller bearings are in fact better for axial loads, however using two he has doubled the lower axial capacity of the deep groove bearings. Using two does also help with the radial forces that will be applied by the giant lever that the rest of the lamp will be.
One thing they are also forgetting with the upscaling is that the mass is increasing to the power of 3. So 6x6x6 --> 216. So the springs force increase and arm length of the springs should match 216. For example the arm of the spring multiplied by 20 instead of 6, and the spring force multiplied by 10 instead of 6 so --> 20x10 is close to 216. This is also the reason why the larger lamps (of that design) have there rods further apart than the smaller ones.
The squire cube law.
@@nielscremer599There are various reasons why one would use deepgroove bearings.
To start, one should always use 2 bearings to create a stiff bearing or hinge point. Even though there is limited space between the bearings, this will ensure a hinge with little play or unwanted movement.
Whether you use a ball bearing or tapered or any bearing for that matter, you should always double up.
Now I suspect that these pillow blocks are deep groove angular roller bearings. These can take both axial and radial loads, just like tapered bearings. Are they as good as a tapered bearing? No, not as good but they are easy to use and cheap(ish).
When you use a tapered bearing there has to be a load mechanism in place that keeps constant pressure on the bearing for it to operate as intended. Most tapered bearing constructions will use both a tapered and non tapered bearing: the non tapered for radial and the tapered for axial loads and self centering. It makes it a bit more complex than a bearing block (construction wise) and incorrect setting of the bearings can cause major issues with wear.
So I would say in this case it is just a simpeler option than to use a tapered bearing.
@@joey93livenlyes, this is true, and it is important-but partially mitigated by the fact that all the major pieces are hollow.
Jesus the cinematography in the montage around the half way point was top notch. Way to go Jaime
Cheers man!
mad props for the editor for that sick tapering montage!
Yes!
When I saw the video pop up in my notifications, I only saw the "I'm Making The World's Largest Articulating Desk," and I got WAY more excited than I should have been.
Jamie saying " We don't need that light anymore, we're gonna have our own bloody light up there instead" just killed me. Jamie you're already the best camera man and editor I've seen anywhere on the internet, you can't go taking over the comedy world to.
I really like these projects of remaking an existing object. They’re so educational and crazy that someone invented all these complex yet seemingly simple things
The editing skills done by Jamie are some top shelf skills. Love the videos lately
I am enjoying Alec doing more things other than just knives/swords. While I do enjoy watching him practice the skill of knife making, it does get repetitive for someone who is not super in the know of the hobby. That is partly why I really enjoy MichealCthulhu.
Doing stuff like the lamp/bike/crescent wrench is a nice breather.
What I love most about these videos is the chemistry between Ankle and Jam
I am enjoying the recent videos it feels like you and Jamie have found a good balance and it shows, the projects are interesting and the videos are fun. Can't wait to see the next part.
oh wow! love how the sounds of the forge blend into the music. That's adding so much to synchronised forging montage. Awesome job Jaime
Pixar would LOVE LOVE to have this masterpiece in their lobby! If they don't have one already.💡💡💡💡💡💡💡
1:40 is peak Jamie. I appreciate that he has the good sense to edit himself into these videos. Alex needs that voice of reason in his life and we're all richer for experiencing it.
Put a camera on it to make Jamie happy.
Damn, the editing on this one is just straight menacing.
Aaaand, just as I post that, it gets chill as hell. Took me straight for a ride, that.
Jamie smashin it on the edit. I love those new effect your doing, looks like fashion shoot (but super cool),, you always killing the cinematography n this is just as delicious. Can’t wait to see what you guys get up to in the next vid. Thank you guys, love what your doing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
The production quality this video has gone up so far! One of my favourite videos so far! Well done guys!
I enjoyed the "having fun in the shop" vibe that this video showed. Jamie and Alec have a great screen chemistry.
Great project! I look forward to seeing how you tackle the lamp shade, it looks like you might need a wheeling machine?!
Do you happen to know where he might get his hands on a Ranalah?
I’ve got to say, I do like this editing, it’s very nice.
Thrust bearings might also be good for the bottom:)
Have you thought about attaching servo motors to your lamp? then you would be able to adjust it with just a few buttons. Also, you'll be halfway to understanding how to make an animatronic dog. I know I've mentioned that dog before, I keep bringing up because I think that you could do it. 😀
The guy doesn't have anything even close to the expertise to achieve this.
Jamie, dude. The cinematography in this one was extraordinarily good. Congratulations, this was a whole new level of quality.
I have to say, I really really liked the stop motion footage of you shaping the "leg" section of the lamp. Very satisfying, please keep doing it.
Jamies editing skills are incredible. I know I say that every video but it bears repeating.
Thanks a bunch! 👍🏻
really nice project. from a forces standpoint you be best off having the two pillowblocks as far from eachother as possible. even mounting the second block on the underside of the box section would make the forces on the bearings a lot smaller
100% agree with this. I fear you will also have a similar problem on the other side. The pin should go through the basepate and also attach to the upper closeout on the Y. You’ll notice the pin on the small lamp does exactly that.
I absolutely love the banter between Alec and Jamie. Cracks me up and I love the extra energy that Jamie adds to the videos.
One thing to keep in mind for the pivot points is that there is a sweet spot for friction where it can be moved but the friction helps hold the links in position. This is because you don't get a constant spring force throughout the range of motion, so you can't simply tune the springs to always perfectly support the weight, so some friction is needed to help it balance.
Jamie really out did himself with editing on this video! Keep up the good work
This is gonna be the coolest project by far!!
I'm so excited!!
Yo Jamie's just showing off now. First the lamp catch, and now this gorgeous filming style? Once this is done I guess you guys cant be lampooned for not having enough lighting in the shop!
Jamie outdid himself again with the editing and cinematography, whoa! 😮👌🏻
I don't want to imagine the power of the scaled up light bulb ! Blinding !
Love the cinematography of this video. Amazing Jamie !
I love this project and really enjoyed the dynamic filming--over the shoulder shots and black and white stop motion.
These black and white time lapse edit things are bang on. Lush videography
Absolute top tier video production! The considered use of the different frame rates, colour and pacing… *chefs kiss!*
Oh yeh and the lamp is pretty cool as well.
Jamie was definitely inspired in the recording/editing in this one, nicely done mate
I'm excited for this project! It's stupid and over the top and I love it.
Man that sequence of shots around 7:00 is so beautiful, well done @JamiePopple
Absolutely love this new style of editing
that photograpy black and white editting was really cool!
Have a wonderful week everyone
Jamie killing it with the montage at 6:45!
For the lightbulb you should use a 600w or 1000w high pressure sodium bulb with an electronic ballast. That way you'll have one hell of a bright light that is super affordable, cheap to maintain AND you can also dim it down on the ballast... And probably catch a tan underneath it. Or grow plants.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out👍👍👍
Your tuning fork @11:21 is almost a perfect G4. Nice wirk. Haha
Jamie's having fun with the angles today!
Can I just give some big kudos for the videography in this video? The video is great but the footage and editing it top notch.
Jamie clearly levelled up. nice work !
Jaime is correct that your spine elongates a little when lying prone. Gravity will shorten the spinal column when standing erect. I work for NASA in the Life Support area and this is something that has been observed as a result of space flight. The Russian cosmonauts have to wear a special garment prior to scheduled return in the Soyuz vehicle that is designed to compress the spinal column. They need to do this based on the seat design of the return capsule. The seat design is such that it supports their entire spine. There is a special insert created for each cosmonaut/astronaut that fits inside the seat bucket. This insert is effectively a form fitted foam cushion. The special garment used on orbit is to ensure that the crewmember fits within their specific seat cushion for return.
If you need to use a hole saw Alec, drill out a few small holes on the inside edge that the cutter intersects along. The hole saw broke since the chips cant evacuate and thus excess friction is introduced resulting in work hardening that will quickly dull the cutting edge and ultimately break the tool. Hope this helps! ~ From one machinist to anyone who reads this comment :)
Great advice there JN!
if needing the inner disk: clearance holes in the outer.
or peck drill & wire brush teeth between pecks. (good for other materials)
wondering if the arbour pins were up to reduce chatter or as an SBE?
if needing to run pins up (or for the smaller arbour size) a carboard washer massively eases disassembly.
layers of masking tape at a push, but if your buddy has a lasercutter; ~0.75mm card &
12mm ID, 28mm OD or 15mm ID, 35mm OD for the 2 sizes of arbour respectively.
hope that helps someone out there! :-j
Jayme killed it with the cinematography and editing!
Jamie really went above and beyond with that stutter step sequence. 😮
I feel like the bottom plate will rip off (probably not, but it is sub-optimal), if you can please replace the pin with a longer one that goes all the way through to the next plate as well. The same goes for the bearing blocks, if you add some separation by mounting the blocks further apart it will be way stronger.
Alternatively, if you had put the bearing blocks on each of the upper and lower faces of the tuning fork's center section, you could have just embedded a pin in the concrete for it to sit on.
Enjoying the montage work with the angles, B&W, etc. Fun project too!
I really love where this series is going lately. I've watched this channel grow over the years and really come into its own. What a fantastic journey to have shared with Alec and this awesome community. To many years to come! Cheers!
Love this build. I've always enjoyed these lamps.
The cinematography in this ep is dynamic AF. I see you Jamie.
FIRE EDIT Jamie! Such great B-Roll!
one of the best thing about your channel Alec, we can still feel you guys having fun making videos
Jamie just slaying the edit in here🔥🔥
Jamie you really had fun with the editing on this one didn't you?😊
I absolutely love the content lately PLEASE keep up the good work.
The shop banter was great 😂
Jamie got himself some new editing tricks. I like it!
Jens christ the editing at 6:44 is amazing
Jamie really popped off with the edit! It reminded me of why I started watching the channel in the first place! (Also the fact that the "tuning fork" was a slightly lower A flat is surprising)
Passion projects like this will keep me watching. Love this kind of content!
Video quality and project on fire as ever.. thanks so much you two ❤
Love it! Love it! Love it! This is by far your best video yet. Love the editing, the jokes, the breakdowns...just amazing. Thank you for the effort. It shows. Can't wait to see how the lamp turns out.
i glad im not the only one who does an old texan prospector voice every now and then
Those black and white shots were gorgeous
The editing was pretty cool. I enjoyed this style for a change.
Looking forward to this build. It’s going to be fun. And also fun watching you when you have to move it around. Also curious how you’re going to raise and lower it.
The editing is amazing!
I haven't enjoyed one of your videos this much in a long time! Keep it going!
Jamie it’s so kind of you to be generous about Alec’s height in the thumbnail
Just started to get into miniature painting and I'm using one of these. It performs very nearly as well as a much brighter and expensive lamp because I am able to adjust the angle so easily that while I don't have as much light its where I need it to be.
Your lamp steel tuning fork was actually an almost perfect G note.
Jamie secretly became the best camera man on UA-cam. Dope AF
I love seeing Alec and Jamie’s shenanigans again it’s so great to see all the goofy and silliness I’ve missed it. I love all the projects you do Alec and this is such a random but cool thing to make
"We don't need that light anymore. We're gonna have our own bloody light up there, instead."
- Jamie, 2000 IQ comment
I'm excited to see the final result!
Love the artsy style of editing in the recent videos
Insane project, insane videography! This is awesome
love the new editing style from Jamie ! good job guys
Loved the video, great job on the camera work and editing.
After seeing Alec messing around with the welding wire I realized it would be so cool if we got more POV content. Make us feel like we're forging
The edeting is insane in this Vid. Love all the different styles in this Vid. Greets from Germany!
This editing is 🔥🔥🔥
The editing is on another level , wicked 🤩😍
I greatly appreciate the time, energy and money you invested in this project.
What great fun.
I wish I had 1/4 the talent and skill you have.

Love the editing style on this video, keep up the good work boys :D
Video ideas have been incredible lately!
You know a project is going to be good when Alec says "We need to order more steel"
