My name is Alec Steele and I am a 19 year old blacksmith from Norfolk in the United Kingdom. I upload a vlog from my day at the workshop almost every single day. Lots of sparks, lots of making, lots of fantastic-ness. Great to have you here following along!

What do I make? LOTS of Damascus steel, knives, swords, axes and more and of course, I always love hearing your suggestions for future projects in the comments below!

So if you want to see lots of forging fun, blacksmithing badassery, cinematic hammering and more in my Daily Vlog (#Daily_Steele) – please subscribe here by hitting that red button!

  1. Hey mr steel. Thank you very much for your great videos. I was think you could have used play dough or real dough for bending out the shape you were looking for. Again thanks for your great work. Best regards.

  2. Alec, thank you for appreciating the certified arborist community. My granddad is a great arborist and so are all three of my uncles. My dad is also a retired arborist. It truly is tree surgery.

  3. Paused at 3:30 after it hit his foot. Was legitimately concerned for Alec's well-being since I've had hardwood strike my foot when I was piling for winter (I've got a wood stove), and it swelled up like a water balloon but didn't break. Could only imagine how crappy it'd be with steel…

  4. Hey Alec, I built myself a forge, quite similar to your forge. However I'm dealing with a lot of sputtering from the burners when I put my bricks in front of the inlet, and outlet. Any ideas?

  5. Two Question: 1) was there any information on how they are originally made? could you copy them. 2) is it easier to cut the steel with the hammer then grind in the cuts you made? as in is that a better way to do it? P.S. Love your videos and the tong tricks are BA! Thank you

  6. I am from "Africa" (Namibia) and if I must be quite frank, we don't have an African throwing knife there… So please be more specific and dont generalize a whole continent to probably a country or tribe. Love the vids though 🙂
