No
Should it not be 5 pound since your back in the UK or is your advertising still aimed at America where u was residing?
We learn so much from your videos, its awesome
Holy crap, nearly 10 bucks per pack is a BIT steep priced... nah, that is for the people with golden spoons in their bum...
You want 7oz of chewy cereal shaped 'food' for $10!
Missed an opportunity to make a stiletto dagger out of 10 slightly smaller stiletto daggers.
Or a pair of stilleto heels
So do it yourself
😂😂😂
Lol. Nice. 😂
That saw is gonna haunt him lol
OMG I have missed these "need a tool, make a tool" videos. They are my absolute favorites. All the learning, all the mistakes, all the growth. Absolute gems!
Yep, much better better than the need a tool order a tool segments
Alec
I think this is what we've been missing from you is the blade making as well as make a tool to work on your tools.
Thank you
Can't wait for the next episode.
Less yak yak and more wack wack please
I dread the day Alec says "welcome back to the workshop" for the final time, may that day never come
He'll likely be quite old. Look at Black Bear Forge or Paul Sellers. They don't NEED to be doing this but they clearly like sharing.
Alec: mr purple with the sledge nice and gentle
Jimmy: hit the handle immediately
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PURPLE GUY??? FROM FNAF????!?!!
love the blade smithing :D
nice to see you forging a blade again
agreed. The rest of his content is great, don't get me wrong. But blades and blade stuff is what got me here in the first place
I was lied to, I was told The One Piece was in this video.
Well he is wearing a one piece shop suit.
Yeah naw, this was not what I signed up for 😂
Hopefully it doesn’t take a 1100+ videos to finish this…
@@LionChavez Is that what you call overalls? 😂
The One Piece is the dagger we made along the way
Have watched your channel for years and I'm still blown away with how interesting each project is and how well shot and edited the videos are. Compositon on them is top class. Here to Alec and Jamie an endless source of enterrtainment.
I don’t know why but the forging process of moving part of a material and reshaping it into something useful is very satisfying
One piece.
One piece?
ONE PIECE!
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!
Yeeeessss. Forging, Damascus, power hammers, anvils, and turning. Boom! Love it.
I’m still amazed Alec hasn’t went to a more efficient ribbon burner forge . Still using the N/A Baker St forge. Although forge efficiency isn’t key when you spend 1-2 days a month using it…
The camera work and editing is actually a piece of art too !! really a powerfull experience to watch it !
All of the lathe dogs I have for turning between centers actually tighten onto the workpiece, and have a finger to poke into the chuck jaws. Would be a nice forging project in of itself.
Love the soft lighting from the giant articulating lamp. It might not be “featured” in every video, but it still leave its mark on every shot filmed under its warm glow.
Finally back to the classics! thank you
FINALLY BACK TO KNIFES AND SWORDS YAAAASSS
Great to see some good ol' bladesmithing. Have been wanting a classic Alec Steele 20 part series for quite a while
So excited to see you getting back to knifesmithing!
Regarding chatter: The big radius cutter will increase chatter because it puts more load perpendicular to the lathe axis when cutting. Especially when taking very slow cuts.
Big radius will hold up to the interrupted cut better, but for less chatter after you're no longer interrupted, smaller radius like you said would be best
@@DevilDog36th very true, forgot to mention that.
The lamp in the background looks hilarious! 😂 Good to see you back at the good stuff Alec! 💪🏽
Glad to see your back to better projects
I really liked the episode opening with shots of metal being worked
THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEAL!
Love to see you bladesmithing once again ❤
I enjoyed the look into how you determine the volume of material needed.
Awesome work, lovely balance between forging and machining
The video effects and music on this video is like the old days - awesome! Great project!
cant wait to see the etching on this one, gonna be a beauty as always im sure.
Glad you're back to forging Alec!
Thank you for sharing your work and practice with us all I love your content and always look forward to your videos 😊
ooh I love these little daggers. glad to see you try at it
There we go, that's some real Alec Steele content. To be honest, the saw series was a bit disappointing. But this one is great.
That chunky lathe tool probably uses more pressure to cut and causes more chatter. It’s worth a try to see if the smaller nose radius tool would cause less chatter due to less tool pressure needed.
Hell yeah! Knife build!
Love your work !
Love this series….last was great as well…but love seeing the forge and hammer working together again
YES ALEC! I have very high hopes for this project. Your last Stiletto was one of my favourite ever pieces. Best of luck 👍
Oooo Knife building series!!!
Glad to see a forging project, at last!
The editing continues to be on point. A+
Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Alec!!!
I love the forging, IMHO doesn't need to pattern welded either. More forging content!
Now this is a great project 👌
These Soundtracks ufff... i love it😊
Finished work late.. Pizza + Hot Sauce, this as the very first recommend video. Less than 30s of intro then BAM BAM BAM power hammer! ❤ Love it!
Hope you have a good weekend mate 👍
Glad to see some forging again.
Yeeeaaahhhh!!! This is where it's at!
Enjoying all of your videos
Very interesting seeing a raw piece centered. Always curious about reference surfaces, finding squareness, and centers.
Awsome looking! 7:40 love the music too!
I talked about you to my professor that i love how if you need a tool you make yourself
I missed some blacksmith project, i love dagger
Sounds nearly like an orchestral Dragula cover at 7:50
Been subscribed since the old tiny leaky shop, man that place was wild. Even did some forging of my own because of this channel. It was fun but took too much time away from my other hobbies.
I think I agree with Alec. I don't recall that device ever being built, or the lathe ever being used like that on this channel.
But I am a newer viewer, I've only been around for coming up to 4 years. I met the guy in Texas who bought Alec's viking longsword. it is stored in his vault with all his rifles and money lol. It was so incredible in person and he let me hold it and feel how sharp and beautiful it was, who could resist subscribing to the channel that made such a sword!
YESSSS knifemaking againnn LETSGOOOOOOO
Alec forging is why I’m here, back at it!
Excited to see a new Damascus / weapon project!
Less speed, more feed.
Heavier chip load reduces chatter.
I'm glad I came back to your channel.
Being an apprentice in turning on a machine tool, I was taught that when you machine forging or foundry blanks, the best way you do it is to use a resistance carbide insert of the WNMG or DNMG type.
Thank you for always making us learn new stuff in an interesting way.
Unofortunately with inserts its not that easy ,there is dozen submarkings on them that specify geometry of said insert and its purpose. WNMG is geomety type designation
,same insert can be used for rough and heavy work(WNMGRP ,RM ) or finishing pass (FH).
Going into inseret types and which one to use for what alloy is a pandoras box.
To simplify it as much as i can since i dont want to write a novel-
heavy roughing cut -negative rake angle ,nose radius 0.8-1.2mm,inserts with 45°- 55° angle -tilt the knife if needed in holder.
it takes a lot of horse power to do roughing operations fast,machine needs great rigidity ,cut forces are high as well as depth of cut.
Light cuts and long peaces(like shafts for example that you dont want to chatter -turn from chuck to the tailstock) and finish work -Positive rake angle ,0.2-0.4 nose angle
A big nose angle is robust, but it calls for a greater amount of machine power and has a greater propensity to vibrate.
A tiny nose angle is weaker and has a smaller cutting-edge engagement, both of which might make it more vulnerable to the effects of heat.
Negative rake angle is more resistant to impact and overheating but it needs more force to cut ,it creates more chatter.
Positive rake angle will make easier cut and leave better finish but its more prone to chipping when you do interrupt cut.
To understand all this stuff better you should read some old books on using lathe ,they cover geometry of lathe knifes,some of them might be old but the tools havent changed at all ,same principles apply you just dont grind them anymore by your hand and materials are better and stronger and you can cut harder stuff but geometry remains the same.
cool, cant wait tin the next vid
Incredible as aways Alec!! Any chance we could get another machine repair/restoration video series? I loved watching you learn about the Chambersberg as you were fixing it.
Next month!
Can't wait for some finials and gold inlay
Idk if this is what you normally do, but I liked the intro and then the explanation. I’ve been watching a couple years and I’m not sure if I’ve seen it before. Great stuff!
On occasion. Hook you in with some juicy montage to start!
Smash the like. A master class in a you tuber who doesn't smash you with "hit that like button" maybe at the end. But the forging, the video, the music. Jamie you make this channel 75%. Alec is 20% and dog O is 5.
Can anyone remember which episode it was where Alec gets into a debate over how to pronounce Aluminum then they look it up.
I love watching you build tools and knives. Combine both, I would like to see an OTF KNIFE, 😁👍
It's nice to see you back on Damascus, but, for those times you're doing other projects I get my 'Damascus fix' from the channel 'shurap', he does some EXCELLENT blades with gun barrels, needles, and all sorts, it's another fine channel for those who love the artistic Damascus steel!! 👍
😎🇬🇧
I'll watch you make a tiny power hammer, or a saw out of saws, but we're back at the forge for something pointy, and that's just fantastic.
I like where this is going 👌
Exactly what a sailor needs to cross the all blue.
You know what, your channel has taken some turns. But I'm here for it.
I'm excited to see how your content and craftsmanship develops.
I would like a stiletto dagger like this! Course I could probably use this video to make my own.
I just realized that we are going to see at least another 20 parts all for the gold and jewel in lay. Let's gooooo
It would be interesting to see a one piece project like this with a “simple” twist damascus 🤓 Where you could follow each stripe from start to end.
New blade hype
About time we get some forging action
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!
THE TREASURE
Hey Alec, with all the other tools you have made, I would love to see your take on a multi tool. Using examples like Leatherman or Gerber.
Alec, make yourself a Patreon. Seriously. While you have limited new subscribers, as you mentioned in your video here, there are so many die hard fans that would happily support you with $1-$5 a month. Would help your materials cost and everything.
This guy absolutely boggles my mind, he has the attention to detail and experience of some Zen machinist of the age of 80 and he looks 10 years younger than me, great content man.
Yeah, but as far as I know Alec started forging at infancy and now that he is twelve he has a good decade of blacksmithing under his belt.
oh nice actually a knife/dagger again! lovely editing
Live 2 mins ago - “nice editing” hahaha. Thanks though!
A new Kyle Royer project video and now a new Alec video on the same day? Man, what a good Friday.
Finally some bladed work
been a while since we have a 17 part scratch blade build....can't wait!
Remember years ago when you were pointing at the Molten metal that Jamie was holding with grips and he moved and you poked the metal with the finger 😂 still makes me laugh
Still hoping you make tiny tools for the tiny power hammer.
Nobody folds Damascus like Alec. Nice to see again.
I am a new subscriber and I love the video. Awesome video and work.
Would love to see some early blacksmithing stuff, like how to make weapons with rudimental tools
I have noticed your subs have plattaeud. Great vid man I hope to see you hit 3 mil
This is awesome. Glad to see you get back to making a knife. My dream: you and Kyle Royer do a collab.
Another great video
Alec: Video idea - Do a strength test versus various pieces of "solid" forged metal, then several pieces of Damascus.
Then, like, do some Alec Steele stuff and see which one is stronger. Sharpen some, try to dull it, etc.
I'm always a fan of any modern Damascus work, but have always been curious if it's really as superior as the olden "wootz" versions are claimed to be.
Now this is whacking. Great vid!
It is interesting how he's not getting subscribers anymore, I guess there are only 2.43m people who want to watch this, sad, this is one of my favorite channels.
Do a sword all one piece to compliment this. Would be epic. Also have you ever wanted to do a full set of armor?
It's terrifying how unsafe that thing is. Props to you for making that work so smoothly
Yo! Look! Alec is a blacksmith again! ;)
