Dude, I'm on board for a traveling craftsman series. Forge something related to the craft and then go learn it. Sounds like a winner of an idea to me.
There’s definitely an idea there.
Will, Will, Will, how hard did you hit your head man? The Will Stelter I’ve followed would have been all OVER the cobbler jokes. Peach, strawberry, blueberry….you had endless possibilities and you didn’t do it once?! Maybe get an MRI?
True
@MicroFarad Will, Will Wobble,but he Will not Fall Down!
Sweet hammer and that was fun watching you learn a new genre of craft.
Love that you guys can give a like to a fellow craftsman. Love your videos too.
Can you make a custom finish hammer?
Your two channels should collaborate on a build
Haha I'm probably late to the party but I was just coming here to Wills page to mention that Works mentioned you on thier channel!
5:17 legends say he’s still standing there waiting for his dog to find it’s way back through the snow storm
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me every time someone correctly puts a head on a handle by tapping on the bottom: "Inertia is a property of matter."
As a woodworker; Is there any other way? Hammers, hand plane adjustments, etc. Tap it the opposite way you'd think, works like a charm.
"Inertia is a property of matter" said in that high pitched voice from the opening theme to Bill Nye's show...
06:07 “that doesn’t look very safe”
06:18 “...”
OMG, I nearly died.
Ditto
You have no idea how much joy it brings me to see you on your own journey and doing so god damn well at it. Keep on keeping on my dude, you are doing awesome.
love to see these “fanciest” projects would like to see some more of them like; the worlds nicest cheese grater, scissors etc.
Maybe like a damascus grater with a mastadon ivory handle with a gold wire inlay.
Just get the mac pro.
Garlic press, one that actually works!
Watching his fingers near that bandsaw when he was cutting that wedge gave me chills; I get that he knows what he's doing, but that's something most of the people who lose their fingers in the shop would probably say.
I've always done it that way. How do you use a bandsaw?
Ouch that was a bad spill. That’s gonna hurt in the morning lol.
I was concerned how close that grinder was to his junk, just after.
Nice to see the school of young dumb fuckery of time saving lazy non thinking. One reason to learn from your elders and betters, less painful for starts!
*pulls out half moldy looking piece of leather from the boot*
"isnt that delicious?"
cobblers scare me
Love it. No shitty commercials from a tin, just flat out documentary about the industry of the shop sponsoring you. This is how it should be done, with immersion and creating interest by showing people that tools (that includes shoes etc.) don't magically appear in the shop.
Also, at 4:31 - the point with the STOP tab over the stop button is to press it to stop the machine instead of having to lift the tab each time.
"...a torch and a belt grinder seemed to do the trick." Words of Wisdom with many applications, my friend lol
I used a torch to get a hose out of my lawnmower
This is a change from just metal forging and I really enjoyed seeing these boots being resoled. Great video Will
Be careful brother, looks like you might be a bit remote, could take a while for help. Awesome video
Was hoping this was going to be a Trenton and Heath collaboration. Those guys would have never left the old stitches in.
I did notice that also but he wasn't stitching anything onto the welt. If the glue does its job right it will hold just fine without an outsole stitch. I'd remove every stitch and probly go a leather midsole goodyeared on then vibram commando, heel stack top lift etc... Assuming that's what the customer wanted sometimes people want to save money on the repair not all repairs get the works regrettably. I feel in this instance the guys have gave Will a crash course on shoe repairs and from what I see he's done a fantastic job first time around. You don't learn shoe repair over night, I'm 12 years in and I'm still learning.
Beautiful work and craftsmanship, Will. You have some great work ethic in you too for not just quitting for the day after beaning yourself like that. Hope your head is alright and no concussions were had. Thanks for the video. Be safe.
Will, invest in a wireless mic. It will cut down on the echo.
lets get this to top post so its seen
In addition, please use work gloves -and a pusher block when cutting wood - for safety when possible and appropriate.
@@Johnhamsta gloves and saw (of any type tbh) does not come together nicely, if the teeth catch the fabric you can loose whole hand instead of minor bruise
@@RandomTheories true, which is why I specified when appropriate (which doesn't necessarily mean together, and I spotted a few times in the video where either safety measure would have been warranted.
Wranglerstar has a good explanation on how he shoots his videos. His quality is the best on UA-cam.
I love the light music in the beginning of the Damascus making, lets you understand the detailed work put into it even more. For me its sometimes more pleasing to watch than allways " loud, hot and heavy "
"I just need to learn how to-" I was half expecting a Skillshare ad. UA-cam has drilled ad segues into my brain.
It was sponsored by Nick's boots. Any UA-cam junkie would know that there wouldn't be a skill share ad in a video sponsored by Nick's boots. JK
Would love to see the occasional build off challenge with Alec or other builders. Even for silly things like the nail clippers Alec made the other day, or nice things. Then let the audience vote.
That 4" grinder looks MASSIVE when you hold it!
How is no one talking about Will hitting his head? That looked so f** dangerous! Stay save please.
Will your camera needs lighting!
Well, he will pay attention to the possibility of the wrench slipping for at least like... the next month-ish... so there's that.
That said, glad you didnt blast yourself there will. That could have been bad.
@@bengossler6193 I rewatched the clip like 10 times. It's somewhat interesting. Actually the wrench did not slip. What happened was, in my opinion, that as he kept pulling back he was applying pressure to the release lever linkage, and finally the jaws opened because it was pushed so much causing the workpiece to no longer be held strongly in the jaws of the machine.
Looked like he hit on the side of his head right against solid steel that could have ended real bad!
@@michaelennen3432 Watching it at .25 speed that's exactly what happened. He bumps into the linkage with his leg and it released the jaws.
Would have liked better close ups of the damascus hammer head.
Was thinking the exact same thing
Real hard to get the lighting right id imagine
yeah just a few close up shots, couldn't really see it, but hes juggling alot right now im sure
Yes for sure.
ask for a refund then
Came for the blacksmithing, stayed for the cobbling.
QUALITY CONTENT RIGHT HERE
Will, my heart stopped when you fell off that machine, you have to stop climbing on things, especially when holding very hot metal. And then to show it again in slow motion. Genius
This is my absolute favorite video of yours so far! “Make like a beach and sand the edges” 😂 I love getting to see your creations put to work. I definitely gasped when you fell, though! Great quality, great content. Awesome job, guys, and, as always, fantastic puns! 🔨 🥾
That was such a cool episode! When I saw how long it was.....I unfairly thought you messed the hammer up!
Will, you really have a talent for creativity and style. The shapes that you grind knife handles, hammers, and blades into are beautifully shaped and still very functional. I was sad to see you leave Alec's shop but, I am really enjoying your videos now too! Great work!!
Hi Will...sweet hammer. My Father, Great father and Great great father are/were cobblers (from France). My father will retire in the next few years after over 120year of cobbler history. in the family. That video inspires me to try forging him on of these as a symbol of the hard work he put on his trade...thanks for the inspiration!
But, what did the actual cobblers think of your hammer, Will?
It did really well! We agree that this is the World's Nicest Cobbler's Hammer.
@@nicksboots Makes me want to buy a pair of Nicks (Robert)
@@hardwareful same.
@@nicksboots what a load of old cobblers.
they thought he just cobbled it together
I love that you actually used the hammer for what it was made for.
“Make like a beach and get sanding!” Genius tshirt quote!
Sure that Trenton and Heath would enjoy one of these babies. Great work Will! Thanks for bringing us along.
I literally have like 30 hammers. When I saw the thumbnail I was like. " I'm F'n making one." I love Nick's Boots too.
Very nice! I have a pair of Nick's boots myself. I wear them every day, and I love them!
Hey just like riding a bike, your not learning unless your falling. What an excellent hammer ("can't touch this") I hope Nick's appreciates how much time and effort went into making it. Now that you have re-souled your boots you have a new appreciation for the fine quality of Nick's boots, something about walking a mile in the other guy's moccasins comes to mind. Really great video Will, thumbs up.
It was nice to see that there still is a real shoemaker in north America making things the traditional way. Also nice job on the hammer.
Beautiful cinematography! The tool is not the only artistic endeavor in this video. I am so jealous of the environment-would love to be out on some land with snow falling and a dog chasing a ball. If you ever get bored of it, let me know.
As a 5th generation cobbler, I am very jealous of this hammer. I recently made my own cobbler's hammer, though, and am very proud of it. Awesome video Will!
Kudos on the cobbler's hammer, Will, and thanks for showing us how boots are re-soled.
Gotta hand it to ya Will, you are a helluva freehand drafter. Your plan drawings are always clean and professional looking.
Came for the hammer making, stayed for the boot making. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great stuff, Will! Just the perfect amount of narration and nice relaxing tempo while still keeping me engaged in the video. I really enjoyed watching this. And the hammer looks fantastic btw ;)
Will thank you so much for sharing with us your excellent work. You are a true inspiration. Please try to be more careful that spill you took could have been worse but I'm glad to see you are doing well. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Will, you need a foot pedal for that press!
Yea, only being able to use one hand severely limits the techniques he can use the press for.
You ok Will? That’s a nasty tumble you took
I definitely didn’t expect to see the boot rebuild portion of this video but I really enjoyed it. That hammer is awesome by the way!
Great humor and fantastic to see the steps of what cobblers do. Thank you so much for making this and I definitely know what boots I will be getting next, thanks for the great review!
Awesome work and great video, that view from your new shop is incredible!
It's freaky cool to see places that are actually local to me on here-
Glad to see you being sponsored by a business you like :3 If my father ever needs a new pair of boots, I'll send him thata' way.
Be careful in that shop of yours, you fall the wrong way and you'll need stitches.
I agree. I live in Spokane so it is interesting seeing how often Will seems to be coming out this way.
I really enjoyed the second part of the video where you took what you made and then made something in the craft the tool is meant for.
Judging by the thumbnail, this thing is beautiful.
Genius collaboration with the "world's best/nicest" theme. Keep rocking it brother
Really cool video! The boot restoring process was very interesting! Thanks!
Great video Will :) it's really relaxing to see you work on a piece - thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks Will. God bless you and you do great things. You just worried me with that Electroboom moment there!
3:40 are we just not going to mention that catch. That was sick
Will .. when you left Alec I was very sad because I thought you left for good ... but now I am amazed by these beautiful videos you make and just can't wait to watch you grow ... much love ♥️
So glad to see your videos. I really enjoy them. Thanks for the quality content.
Glad you did no damage on that fall. That is one good looking hammer, I don't cobble but I want one.
If you are any kind of craftsman, it isn't possible to have too many hammers, I am at eighteen at the moment, so few because I had a break in at my last shop.
Extremely cool video. Thank you, Mr Stelter.
Those smokey shots at 5:48 were beautiful. As for the shot at 6:17, sheesh, don't do that to a Mom. I am sending your Mom a hug for having to watch that.
The cobbling bit was interesting. I know you have time constraints, but I would've enjoyed it as a 2 part video too - if you had wanted to slow it down a bit for some of the process.
Lovely seeing your broad range of skills. Thanks for sharing
Amazing Will! The hammer is beautiful, and I love being able to reuse/fix ... well basically anything. It was great to see the process of resoling boots.
Hammer tuned out nice you should send Alec a care package of 100 bottles of red dykum 😂 rofl
Red "IS" the British colour !!! ;-)
I was just watching Alec use red dykem on his sword, and now Will is using blue dykem on his hammer.
Great Video! My fav so far! Glad to see your channel grow
This was a lot of fun to watch. I liked the compositing and shots, it really highlighted the processes. Also, good to know that someone else falls in the shop occasionally :) Hope you didn't get dinged up too badly.
Good to see you forging and doing boot repair!
This was fantastic! Both a beautiful build and a how its made all in one.
So glad to see you finally making something will, I was an avid supporter of you creating your own channel long ago because you have some serious skills
Great video as always. Thanks Will!
Nicks boots are great, I've been wearing them for wildfire and general forestry work for many years.
I love the blacksmithing process, as always, but i really appreciated to see the boot reparing process too .... as i boot lover, i've found it very interesting, thanks for having shown this part too ;)
Great job on the video I actually like how you used it for its intended purpose and the narration through out was really pleasant
wow That handle is absolutely beautiful will. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. cant wait to see what you forge up next will. Forge on. keep making. god bless.
Man I love that you are exploring everything hand made!
Great job, you are fun to watch. And you are a skilled bladesmith, oh yeah and cobbler!
I loved watching the boot repair process just as much as the forging part Will. Killer video!!
Dope had some great shots in there when the hot iron was getting hit and it looked like steam would come out looked really cool 🔥🔥🔥
Killing it with the commentary starting to open up a lot more I can still keep going bro absolutely killing the UA-cam/blacksmithing game
"Thanks for.. s- uh, patron-izing me..?" Love it 😂
Great job Will. Keep on movin on.
This is a great video, just wanted to see some more closeup of that hammer in details.
He's put his best foot forward on this one!!!
Great video! Really like seeing you on UA-cam man keep up the good work
Make like a beach and sand the edges. I heard that, and loved that.
That hammer is siiiiick! Someday I want a hand forged hammer for my leather work. Great video.
As always. Enjoyed the video bud. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful workmanship Will! Please remember to use a push stick when using the saw, those digits of yours are important!
Awesome hammer Will.
Love to see the breaks when you play with your dog.
You should forge either one of those ballthrowers in some springy Steel and twice as long or maybe a small trebuchet or catapult for tennisballs for that sweet dog.
My grandad was a cobbler so this was amazing thank you. Love this format Will.
Glad to see you making content again. Lots to do to set up a new shop, I know.
So glad to see you making videos. Your one of my favorites too watch!!!
Hey will . Your channel is awesome dude . It's getting better everytime I watch an episode. I'm happy for you man and how far youve come along. Your channel feels so real and not staged. It raw and it you so keep it up man. Many blessings buddy.
Fantastic video, Will! I love that you inject your videos with subtle humor. Be careful. Be safe. Stay funny.
Great to see you back young sir!
Production stood out in this one, well done Will!
I appreciate the fact that you are still making usable art it seems like Alec nowadays is not and I miss that so thank you! 👍🤘🇺🇲
I was thinking "he's gonna fall backwards anysecond now" ...
Thanks for proving me right will.
