Alec Steele Blacksmith 2021 - Розваги
Have you considered doing a collaboration with Will Stelter?
Haha funny
Will was more than half this channel some months
@@brandonbenjamin9452 got to agree with that.
@@gordonfischer8484 what happened, I missed something
@@antoinesp1483 will left and made his own channel.
I would like to see you make a forged welded one.
And a longer one as well!
Wonder why he didn't just weld that one up..
Alec you should do a big project about this and take more time 🙂
@@jorgemarkin1510 i was thinking the same thing. Just weld that join and clean it up
It would be a neat bit of kit if he could do it.
Old alex would have done a 14 part series making this, going through 3-4 attempts and then inlaying it with gold and diamonds. YOUVE CHANGED
Who's Alex?
Yeah I miss the old way he used to make videos too
@@minuteman4565 yea I miss skipping to the last 2 minutes as well
Wednesday.
He only had a day to do it stop complaining.....
I'm pretty sure just ONE of Alec's "I have no idea what I'm doing"s is worth about fifteen of my "Oh yeah, that's easy"s.
Really enjoyed learning how an auger can be made! Cheers Alec!
Great collab! Love both of your guys' channels! Can't wait to see it in use.
@@CalebCarterFilm thats what I'm saying
@@CalebCarterFilm oh he showed it at around 9:20 in this video
Would've thought you'd have had him forge Excalibur equivalent of a folding packsaw. Futhork inlaid inscription like a Proper packsaw.
We also learned how one can’t be made.
Alec: "We haven't seen anybody else in a long time."
*sad Jamie noises
he said "We"
that's what the "we" means
"Flat bottom punch you make the forging world go round"
The little ears serve to sever the wood grain before the cutting surface touches down, so it helps to not tear away chunks of timber on entry and exit from the other side of it, you notice this when Alec tests his forged one.
it is truly amazing the stuff you can do with a forge, you make excellent content!!
NO! Really? Wow.
Can you make a scythe for special lawn mowing using your skills in blacksmithing and greenwood woodworking?
Scythe would be so cool!
There’s a video of him making one on his channel
@@redhandix874 True, but that was a costume one. Real (working) scythes have a different angle/shape to the blade. And often a curved handle for proper reaping.
Isn’t it just a handle and a cut piece of metal? Not a lot to it.
@@DrakeTain Oh no, it has a lot more to it. Look at the one made by Torbjorn Ahman.
This is one of the coolest things you've ever made. I never thought you could make a drill bit by hand!
That's how they used to make everything
Anything can be made with with a welder and grinder!
The first failed forge weld could have easily been saved with a forged rivet and would have looked way better than a piece of pipe welded on. That being said I’m impressed you forged an auger drill bit 🙂
The nostalgia of you being back in the UK, the old shop and people/faces. It's just addictive!
Did he ever say why he moved back? I never heard.
It sure does seem like he is actively avoiding his lawnmower engine scooter
You just discovered why the auger bit was less common in the pre-industrial revolution era.
The twist auger anyway, spoon augers are a bit easier to make
Centre bits, also sometimes called batwing bits are good, if they are sharpened properly
As a French, I can tell that your French accent was very on point. English speaking people normally have bad French accents but yours really was on point. Another great video and project, love your channel
Alec is half french 👍🏻
@@offroadamiou ooooooooh that makes sense. I didn't know that
I like your profile picture. Real G.
Great colab, as always and as I mentioned on his video too. So cool to see the two different approaches to the same content. So when are you going out into the woods with Mike for some totally awesome bushcraft?
As I mentioned on TA's channel, two of my favourite UK Tubers, just genuinely nice guys creating awesome content.. must be because they both have happy dogs
same
me: 'wow, that looks really good!'
Alec: 'This is total garbage.'
me: 'It's bad.'
I feel like that's the Alec equivalent to the VSauce
"Right?"
Right.
"WRONG"
...i hear there's this nice twisting machine in Montana....might have been useful to colab with Will too! haha
can even make a hand crank one, theres a bloke in aus that made up a hand twisting jig
"I have no idea what I am doing"
So, it will be a fun learning experience then!
Your videos have inspired me to start making things. I'm not necessarily blacksmithing (yet!), but I've started woodworking and I'm about to start leather working!
Your videos have been incredibly inspirational and, even though I'm not in the same craft as you, they've taught me a lot about the right attitude to have towards creation.
I really like how you keep the failed attempts and explain how you learn from that and make awesome items in the end.
The excitement when things go right is pretty sweet too.
You need to do another sweeping collaboration with Collin furz
I'd love to see Alec make more "traditional" blacksmithing items other than various swords and knives!
There's multiple types of Blacksmiths. Most that made weapons made... mostly just weapons with a rare occasion of other stuff.
I loooove these videos so much more than the glam damascus an jewelsetting ones. This is why i started forging.
1:06 Thrrrrrrrrrrread, I love it
I love when you guys collab
« et voilà c’est fini » génial et la vidéo superbe
Glad to see some forge welds done this way! Just learned how to do this in my first blacksmithing class
This is why we love you, buddy. Humans make mistakes and a lot of UA-camrs would edit the video to make it seem like a first time success. This is beyond incredible, man!
Holy crap! I was just looking for somebody attempting to making a drill bit. Thank you for using your expertise to show it is possible!
Now all that's left is to make an End Mill by hand ;)
It was Mike and the TA outdoor Channel that hooked me on Alec Steele! The bushcraft knife collaboration was great. Great to see you teaming up again for another essential bushcraft tool creation 👍
Making a tool and seeing it in action working correctly is the single best feeling in the world.
Love to see channels I watch doing collabs
Watching that thing cut into the block of wood was sooo satisfying.
Ohh yeah, thank you Alec for another awesome video
It was fun to see Mike back again. I subscribed to his channel way back then.
This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done
So much positive vibes! Even when you have to start over and over!
Another tool, well done Alec. I had to wait impatiently all day to watch this video. It was worth the wait as usual.
I love your collabs! How about an Episode bout forging in the woods? Sure Mike knows how to start a fire
So awesome seeing you try new things.
Love it when you experiment! Learning new things is always a good thing
I saw this yesterday on the other guy’s channel and watched it again tonight. Never thought you could twist hot steel and end up with an auger. I thought they were machined. Learn something new every day.
"When in doubt, more flux" -Alec 2021
this is a collab i never saw coming, I love watching both your channels I never even anticipated this happening
What a crossover! Love TA outdoors and TA fishing!
Thankyou! I love when your uploads hit.
Yo Alec, thanks for some real content again man. Been missing this. We learn a hell of a lot from your videos, really sad to see some of the cheap quick content recently. Just some feedback.
I think he’s been adjusting to not having Will around, Will prolly did like half of the shopping and looking for ideas for a video, although, I do agree with ya, the informational videos are always super fun to watch.
@@il-raptor-li9687 yeah for sure. That, along with him being back in the UK and wanting to spend more time with his family. But in general I'd prefer fewer videos but with informative, interesting topics than sponsor-riddled reaction videos or the like. I honestly owe so much to this channel and everything it's taught me and I really don't want to spread hate or anything of the sort. Just wanted to voice what I believe many of the older fans, such as yourself I assume, are feeling.
He made one reaction video… the rest of them are all constructing/forging related
Something you have to take into account, if a channel doesn't keep up with regular content, it starts to get suppressed by UA-cam. So while the shorter videos may not be up to par with some of his other content, they are needed to keep the channel alive.
@@michaelliening2608 true true, I wasn’t trying to be rude in my comment, I’m just saying why I think most of his videos have kind of changed to a shorter length, cause having even one extra person around to help you makes a huge difference, Will was a huge help in the channel just to keep videos coming out.
You should make a series where you attempt to do old forged things with no power machines :)
Alec, you are so talented. I am amazed at your creativity and workarounds.
Hey Alec - great to see you!
Couldn’t you have pinned or tig welded that forge weld?
yes, but he was under time pressure.
he had no time to fiddle around with the forge welding and then adjusting the eye to be circular
Haven't seen him use a tig in the british shop that I can think of, got a feeling he's only got a mig there. But yeah, welded, riveted I guess all would of worked, looks like they were trying the traditional method first.
was thinking he should have drilled and riveted the broken weld together would have been plenty strong
been spoiled by TA Outdoors' video
Great Job! Amazing Skill. We can learn a lot from you, thank you for sharing.
Now I’d like to see alec out in the woods with TA trying it out!!
I love these two
I couldn't believe it alec. I cant believe you did it. Amazing all i got to say. To see you teach your self until it was perfect
Thanks for sharing Alex I was looking for a video forging this tool. You where me first port of call and as ever, never fails to deliver. Many Thanks
Man i love watching your videos and it makes me so jealous of your talent. Sometimes i forget that you are so young yet sooooo skilled. Love you channel and you make my day!
I've been a subscriber of his ever since he did the house made of pallets
Two years.... I reckon it might be time to invite Mike back to the workshop. I'm sure there's a lot of interesting stuff you could both make. Maybe a hanger for over a fire for a pot?
Now we need a deluxe version. Damascus, forgewelded, all the good stuff
I wish a beautifle day to whoever is reading this.
And a beautiful day to you too
@@basssnatchingadventures8168 thank you
Your welcome
I read it as beauti"file" and thought you had made a cheeky pun
Lol that would have been much better
Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Alec!!!
I just went to Lows and bought qa 1 inch auger and welded a piece of steel tubing on it. The tubing was a motorcycle axel hehe. Worked great.
whenever i watch these videos he always seems to go insane at one point
Great idea for a video love it. Pushing the boundaries
I’ve been wanting this duo for a long time know 🤙🏻
im a fan of alec and a fan of Mike. learned of mikes channel through alecs last video with him. Love the collaborations. keep them up
pleasure to watch as always.
beautiful Defender as well.
Amazing!!!! I really want to get myself a shop. You are brilliant and inspiring Alec!
Well done Alec! 👍😁
Perseverance pays, well done.
Really went above and beyond. I just did a spade bit for my first one. Needed something to expand a hole and I didn't have a short enough .5" bit.
Thanks for showing me how to make that one. A lot easier then I thought. Can’t wait to give that a go.
Dayum! Mr. Steele. Excellent video. Very interesting.
4:18 "Hopefully without popping the forge weld open". I don't know if it's purposefully edited that way, but if you look carefully right as Alec says this you can see the forge weld already popped open.
Good on you Alec, Good content is what we crave.
pretty impressed with how that turned out
Old hand drill bits used to end just in a conic shape while keeping the cutting edge.
You could make a longer one just cutting the rod longer,even if it doesn't have an edge.
You feed the first part were there's the edge and pop It out like a cork to release the debris.
No more one more time rule. You have definitely been listening to the canine paradigm podcast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
An auger bit is also useful for drilling holes to make a rocket stove out of a single section of log (wood).
very cool project. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. forge on. keep making. god bless.
Love you man not like a weird but totally normal way
Love Mike from TAOutdoors
My favorite blacksmith and favorite bushcrafter
Always love seeing you and Mike collab!
Also super impressed :D would love to try this at home but considering I only have my hands, a handheld blowtorch, and sandpaper it would take utterly forever 😂
I almost jumped out of my chair when it drilled through the wood!
That's my dream truck (the one your guest got out of) I love a good defender.
Alec please, do a big project about this and take more time 🙂
Hi, I love watching your videos!
Well done!
The Defender is the star of the show! More Defender! USA! Import Defender!
Check out EDC Automotive Design (East Coast Defender). They're based in Florida and import Defenders and generally do sweet custom work on them.
Nice little 90 that is! Wish I could afford one :/
@@ApexHerbivore same
Had the exact same thought
@@Yotakari14 I should have said affordable:) We colonies will take the worn masses:)
This is awesome!! Always love these videos!!
An excellent video. This guy is great
I love seeing you have guests on and building things with them. While you are still in the UK I love to see you make a Hoof Knife for the hoofgp
Great job! I hope someday I will be able to forge like you. ^^
I watched this on TA Outdoors channel yesterday
Now you can join the army as a drill sergeant!
It seems so simple to twist a piece of steel to get the flutes, but dang I never guessed that’s how you make those augers!
