My name's Alec Steele and here you'll find weekly videos documenting the process of building some awesome projects here in the shop. As a blacksmith, most of the projects start as lumps of steel, or stacks of different alloys for making damascus, that I forge out into blades, sculpture, art or tools before taking the project to the machining equipment or into the grinding room for finishing. Each project teaches me a lot and stretches the bounds of my knowledge. I make a lot of mistakes but they serve as an excellent teacher. There's always something important for me to learn in the shop!
I want my work to be the spark that ignites the desire for you to get into your shop (or kitchen/basement/garage) and make something too! Whether it's stitching a leather wallet or forging a giant sword, you'll love the creative process.
Be sure to follow me on instagram @alecsteele for behind the scenes and grab some awesome products at alecsteeleshop.com/
Thanks!

AWSOME I like your style!
Utility knife
Beskar is its own metal. Although there is a special process by which its armour properties come out, it is not "steel" in the context your thinking of.
I'm beginning to think Bob the Builder isn't good teaching material
Jamie cut his hair????? No one’s gonna talk about that?? Camera man to camera man.. I noticed
Beautiful pen wow. I love platinum
If you look carefully when you hit it while it’s hot it heat up and glows a brighter red. It’s a weird property platinum has. It can transform kinetic energy directly into heat.
Nice one, Jamie 👍
Isn't it consider super gay in British culture to bore out a whole? Did you at least say no homo after?
Did they ever do another test where they tried Gojo?
And today, TATA rejected the union plans to keep the furnaces running, they'll shut down at the end of the 2024, (no4 no5) and eventually build electric arc furnaces... but I'm thinkin that will be a good decade or a bit more... more than 3000jobs may be in danger... 😢
simple process to forge this. But 1 process to critical to Bending process to forge
Really nice sword. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Greetings.
I like these videos where you go out and find really cool industrial facilities. Those fascinate me. The sheer excitement is infectious, and understandable, the place is epic!
steam systems, by their nature, will result in a fair amount of corrosion sans the proper maintenance
If You´d have wire brushed the bolts and used Evaporust in Your hot tubbie they would have come out like new. And it is water based. Get Yourself 5 liters and try it. Thank me later. But don´t be a lazy hippie, wire brush the parts.
Alec, you should make a Stainless Steele Kettle and/or a Stainless Steele coffee press! I think it would be a great way to showcase a sponsor's product or just for gits and shiggles
You got to check out cutting edge engineering
Aero press is ace. Use one daily. I recommend.
There's an easier way to remove studs than grabbing them with a pipe wrench. Screw on 2 nuts, tighten them against each other and then put the wrench on the inner nut.
There is a locality in country Western Australia called East Damboring.
Bored the whole time…
Really cool series
"deleting it because she said no'
If your lathe has the capacity for the piston then you can do it yourself the way I was taught. Turn down the shaft to remove the bad metal. Next use hard facing welding wire to build back up the shaft, use more than you think you need because next you have to turn it down to clean it up. I realized that Hard Facing might be a western Canada term. It's the same welding wire used to redo the face of an anvil. That's pretty much all there is to it.
I think a revisiting of the Sword Cane would be a great video series but having gold inlay and gems with mammoth ivory handle and fine pattern Damascus for the blase and brass or bronze guards maybe even a Kris style blade
Everyone's cringing at the circular saw blade in the mill - I'm just sat worrying about Jamie's hands getting ripped off because he's wearing gloves and using rotary machinery 😬
Such anger now as Tata has announced the shutdown of the blast furnaces that will result in massive job losses and a big hit to the economy of the entire region. Perhaps including some of the people who featured in the video.. Bring the plant into public ownership !
Toss a cup of citric acid and a cup of 3% Hydrogen peroxide in the ultrasonic, no soap. It'll work better for cleaning up oxides Alec! <3 Jewellers call it super pickle!
Powered Z axis, nice solution, bit cowboy , . I wonder if boring bottom up would be smoother with less drive load.
How much are one of those auto hammers? Like a small one
Rare footage of Hephaestus on his free time (colorized)
Why didnt you just put it under the auto-hammer.... i want a cpm-3v or Cru-wear steel anvil.... dont ask why...
i know im necroing a 6 year vid but did you ever manufacture anything from this? it might be worth turning it molten casting it into bars after giving it a rough pass with the bessemer process while molten. then after flux you might find it much easier to work and forgeweld the material.
The teeth should not be set inconsistently with a punch. There is a simple inexpensive tool called 'saw set pliers" where you can set the number of teeth per inch. It makes all bends of the teeth consistent and it sets appropriate amount of bending for the number of teeth per inch.
2 Teachers and a girl STABBED IN SCHOOL, by teenage GIRL 😢😢😢
Line boring would be easier for the bore diametres.
For future reference, the quill power downfeed would be a better option to use than raising the table with such a large part. Then you can lock the Z axis in place, and the quill will feed downwards which should keep things more rigid.
One heck of a boring video.
Those 3 stone hones make a round hole into a triangular hole if you remove very much material . You need to learn more about speed and feed rates for machining . That looks like a poor knurling job .
Bench grinder with a wire wheel is the best thing to clean bolts up and clean the grime off the threads
Holy chatter! Glad the audio from that didn't make it in the video. Bet the arms are sore from all the honing to clean it up and came out nice.
I enjoy watching these videos but I miss watching old school Alec where you made knives and swords and blacksmith type stuff. Also when you made more than one 16 minute video a week. I know a lot of work goes into this stuff but surely you could make a couple of videos each week, even if it’s just continuing on the same project. You don’t even show up on my algorithm anymore, I have to actually search every couple of weeks just to watch one short video.
That's really cool 😮
Aeropress is such a good sponsor! Have used them for years, might have to make use of the 20% off and get another
It was really boring episode you made.
We want random shop shenanigans back !!
might not be a bad idea to get a engine hoist for the shop. lot smaller than crane. could easily lift that how you want.
Hone, sweet Hone. Though quite boring, this was a smooth episode.
Wait till he finds out about the ball hones and they have multiple grit stones for those hones
