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. A Box with the following steel: square, round, and twisted metals inside. Fill with flux, drill the hole. Wala! Then sandwich it after your grinding off the box, making san-mai?
    To do the initail grinding, you need open an account watcher’s can put money into and purchase a grinding table like seen in other videos that people put their knives and long blades on and it goes back and forth to sand it evenly.

  2. Thank you so much, Alec for rectifying the lack of communication on this.  I was stunned at the sudden departure of Sam, and I think this is a much better way to go, with you referencing and recommending his channel.  I really appreciate this mature way to proceed.  You sir, have my respect!

  3. I thought Sam was already employed as a farrier with his own business and also sold burners? Can understand alex parting ways really as small businesses already are running tight and having someone just to make lunch and the occasional project isn’t exactly cost efficient

  4. Alec: Thanks for taking the time to address the questions about Sam, and for giving him a good shout-out. I've just subscribed to his channel, and I'm looking forward to checking out his content as well now. And the way you handled the issue in this video in response to all the readers' questions and comments recently just reinforces what a classy guy you really are. Well done. The chemistry was always good between you two in the shop… perhaps we could get you guys to do some collaborations down the road a bit.

  5. Alec, I've watched a lot of large blade making before. What most do for their fullers is use a tool they made (looks like two round pieces of metal, set perpendicular, on a U shaped handle) to go down the length roughing it in under a power hammer. Then they grind it smooth after.

  6. sorry to hear about Sam having to be let go.

    there was an odd dichotomy in presentation style that I thought worked well.

    Alec is so bright and cheerful and Sam was just a normal bloke. by being so normal, even when clearly having fun, he made Alec's exuberance seem even more extreme. a bit like the straight man in the old comedy duos.
