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!

Thanks for watching guys! This guard is going to end up looking really cool – I stuck with the one I forged in this episode! Make sure y'all get your 2 month free trial 🎉🎄 http://skl.sh/steele
wiggle while you work!
Please make a Lord of the Rings inspired sword or weapon.
I always call looking down something casting my eye
Forge it thick, grind it thin. new shirt for sure
Has anyone found out the name of the song at 7:00 ? I NEED to know!
the guard looks like texas longhorn
Well I guess I am done with this channel, I hate when good people advertise a product or company they have not researched What a way to sell out.
who can tell me the song from 2:07 i cant find it in youtube or in the link whit music
In the pipefitter's trade the technical term for "looking down the length of the thing to figure out the wiggle" is "eyeballing". It's probably hard for a person with no depth perception…
IT's called "scorcio" in italian…
foreshorten
fɔːˈʃɔːt(ə)n/Submit
verb
gerund or present participle: foreshortening
portray or show (an object or view) as closer than it really is or as having less depth or distance, as an effect of perspective or the angle of vision.

Had to grind to stop looking at the wigel
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, 100% Wiggle. Nice Videos, loving it. Great Job !
I think the effect you are referring to when sighting down the length of the blade is "foreshortening".
Not gonna lie for awhile that guard looked like a hot forged vagina 😂
Alec, I love your informative and personable character. Even though I know nothing about 'blacksmithing' you make me want give it a go!
Love your videos, keep up the good work, btw I'm from Texas and that guard was looking a lot like a University of Texas Longhorns symbol lol, keep up the awesome work, and I'll keep watching!
Well that's a slogan for a T-Shirt – "Forge it thick, grind it thin"
Great camera work, as always! Very nice work on the claymore so far, too.
Something ive been wondering. Mind you I'm no expert but i know metal pretty well and swords and what not but the indention/blood groove i like to call it, goes into the tang and I was wondering if Alec or anyone else could explain why and if that is a normal thing or just an Alec thing? Also wouldn't that cause blood or water into the guard and handle and then make rust?
10 minutes at the anvil saves an hour at the grinder.
Loved the way you forged out the Gaurd. It was very impressive. Thanks. 🙂
5:37 EWW hot tang that would nasty, you know like Tang the orange drink. 😛
why does he freehand grind. need a flat surface to hold the sword
Jamie must love squarespace.
What brand are your earphones?
Hot Tang! I could see that on a shirt.
Great job Alec
What you are making is less a Scottish claymore and more a Conan the barbarian style sword lol.
The pattern on that kopesh collab. Was the coolest Damascus pattern I've seen you do to date. Props man!
Lassies and laddies welcome back o the workshop
Alec it would be pretty interesting if you put an hour count in the final video of these big projects to give us an idea of how long this stuff really takes!
08:35 Congratulations! you made an steel Uterus!
I would have been excited to see a damascus guard.
Would love to see if you could forge a decent (usable) Damascus plastering trowel. I'm a plasterer in Norfolk and would gladly test it for you 😉 love the videos and keep up the awesome work 🖒
I don't know what to do. This is the first time that I've caught up with the videos. Now I have to wait for the next one!?
ALEC, next sword up… A Knights Templar Crusader Sword. Another long sword to practice on. Maybe make dies forbthe press for the fuller or a spring loaded hardy tool and do it by hand? Forged fuller S add strength. Ground ones can reduce strength via cutting the metal grain. Just a thought but a Templar sword maybe with matching dagger would be great additions to your armory. Loving 99% of the content. But hey, you're still learning and far past any skills I have.
Twisted and swept forward quillions (guard arms)?
