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!!

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.

Love it when you experiment! Learning new things is always a good thing

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.

Alec, you are so talented. I am amazed at your creativity and workarounds.

Love to see channels I watch doing collabs

So much positive vibes! Even when you have to start over and over!

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 👍

Something you have to take into account, if a channel doesn't keep up with regular content, it starts to get suppressed by KZread. 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.

« et voilà c’est fini » génial et la vidéo superbe

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

This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done

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 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.

I love your collabs! How about an Episode bout forging in the woods? Sure Mike knows how to start a fire

Another tool, well done Alec. I had to wait impatiently all day to watch this video. It was worth the wait as usual.

Amazing!!!! I really want to get myself a shop. You are brilliant and inspiring Alec!

It was fun to see Mike back again. I subscribed to his channel way back then.

Great Job! Amazing Skill. We can learn a lot from you, thank you for sharing.

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

You should make a series where you attempt to do old forged things with no power machines :)

This is awesome!! Always love these videos!!

"I have no idea what I am doing" So, it will be a fun learning experience then!

Hey Alec - great to see you!

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

I love when you guys collab

Watching that thing cut into the block of wood was sooo satisfying.

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.

I’ve been wanting this duo for a long time know 🤙🏻

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?

1:06 Thrrrrrrrrrrread, I love it

this is a collab i never saw coming, I love watching both your channels I never even anticipated this happening

pretty impressed with how that turned out

pleasure to watch as always. beautiful Defender as well.

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 😂

Making a tool and seeing it in action working correctly is the single best feeling in the world.

No more one more time rule. You have definitely been listening to the canine paradigm podcast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.

Great job! I hope someday I will be able to forge like you. ^^

You need to do another sweeping collaboration with Collin furz

I've been a subscriber of his ever since he did the house made of pallets

Now I’d like to see alec out in the woods with TA trying it out!!

Good on you Alec, Good content is what we crave.

Alex you have skills that I honestly envy! I would love to be able to forge and machine and make jewelry and other awesome things! this is absolutely wonderful work and I hope you keep it up! whenever the world has you down just remember that you've got the skills and knowledge to make and do whatever you want!

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.

Perseverance pays, well done.

I love these two

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

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.

Well done!

That's my dream truck (the one your guest got out of) I love a good defender.

Well done Alec! 👍😁

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!

Hi, I love watching your videos!

An excellent video. This guy is great

been spoiled by TA Outdoors' video

Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Alec!!!

Alec please, do a big project about this and take more time 🙂

An auger bit is also useful for drilling holes to make a rocket stove out of a single section of log (wood).

I watched this on TA Outdoors channel yesterday

Edit, dang never mind the whole process was epic! Great work :D

whenever i watch these videos he always seems to go insane at one point

Dayum! Mr. Steele. Excellent video. Very interesting.

Très belle réalisation 👍👍
