agreed. The rest of his content is great, don't get me wrong. But blades and blade stuff is what got me here in the first place

Have watched your channel for years and I'm still blown away with how interesting each project is and how well shot and edited the videos are. Compositon on them is top class. Here to Alec and Jamie an endless source of enterrtainment.

Yeeeessss. Forging, Damascus, power hammers, anvils, and turning. Boom! Love it.

THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEAL!

I don’t know why but the forging process of moving part of a material and reshaping it into something useful is very satisfying

I’m still amazed Alec hasn’t went to a more efficient ribbon burner forge . Still using the N/A Baker St forge. Although forge efficiency isn’t key when you spend 1-2 days a month using it…

All of the lathe dogs I have for turning between centers actually tighten onto the workpiece, and have a finger to poke into the chuck jaws. Would be a nice forging project in of itself.

The camera work and editing is actually a piece of art too !! really a powerfull experience to watch it !

One piece. One piece? ONE PIECE!

THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!

Love the soft lighting from the giant articulating lamp. It might not be “featured” in every video, but it still leave its mark on every shot filmed under its warm glow.

Great to see some good ol' bladesmithing. Have been wanting a classic Alec Steele 20 part series for quite a while

FINALLY BACK TO KNIFES AND SWORDS YAAAASSS

Finally back to the classics! thank you

Regarding chatter: The big radius cutter will increase chatter because it puts more load perpendicular to the lathe axis when cutting. Especially when taking very slow cuts.

@DevilDog36th

3 ай бұрын

Big radius will hold up to the interrupted cut better, but for less chatter after you're no longer interrupted, smaller radius like you said would be best

@SgtStinger

@@DevilDog36th very true, forgot to mention that.

The lamp in the background looks hilarious! 😂 Good to see you back at the good stuff Alec! 💪🏽

So excited to see you getting back to knifesmithing!

That chunky lathe tool probably uses more pressure to cut and causes more chatter. It’s worth a try to see if the smaller nose radius tool would cause less chatter due to less tool pressure needed.

Exactly what a sailor needs to cross the all blue.

I really liked the episode opening with shots of metal being worked

Remember years ago when you were pointing at the Molten metal that Jamie was holding with grips and he moved and you poked the metal with the finger 😂 still makes me laugh

YES ALEC! I have very high hopes for this project. Your last Stiletto was one of my favourite ever pieces. Best of luck 👍

I just realized that we are going to see at least another 20 parts all for the gold and jewel in lay. Let's gooooo

Glad to see your back to better projects

THE TREASURE

Smash the like. A master class in a you tuber who doesn't smash you with "hit that like button" maybe at the end. But the forging, the video, the music. Jamie you make this channel 75%. Alec is 20% and dog O is 5.

Awesome work, lovely balance between forging and machining

Can't wait for some finials and gold inlay

Nobody folds Damascus like Alec. Nice to see again.

Sounds nearly like an orchestral Dragula cover at 7:50

Love to see you bladesmithing once again ❤

First time ever I had to shut down Jamie's choice of background music before my ears started bleeding.

You know what, your channel has taken some turns. But I'm here for it. I'm excited to see how your content and craftsmanship develops.

Glad you're back to forging Alec!

I enjoyed the look into how you determine the volume of material needed.

Love your work !

Still hoping you make tiny tools for the tiny power hammer.

ooh I love these little daggers. glad to see you try at it

Hell yeah! Knife build!

I love the forging, IMHO doesn't need to pattern welded either. More forging content!

Thank you for sharing your work and practice with us all I love your content and always look forward to your videos 😊

It's terrifying how unsafe that thing is. Props to you for making that work so smoothly

The video effects and music on this video is like the old days - awesome! Great project!

Can anyone remember which episode it was where Alec gets into a debate over how to pronounce Aluminum then they look it up.

Hey Alec, with all the other tools you have made, I would love to see your take on a multi tool. Using examples like Leatherman or Gerber.

Oooo Knife building series!!!

These Soundtracks ufff... i love it😊

cant wait to see the etching on this one, gonna be a beauty as always im sure.

Glad to see some forging again.

It is interesting how he's not getting subscribers anymore, I guess there are only 2.43m people who want to watch this, sad, this is one of my favorite channels.

Now One Piece will never end cause Alec used the One Piece to make a fancy knife.

Can’t wait for these to come to the shop as letter openers. Could I order and opal as it’s my birthstone. ROFL😂

Do a sword all one piece to compliment this. Would be epic. Also have you ever wanted to do a full set of armor?

There we go, that's some real Alec Steele content. To be honest, the saw series was a bit disappointing. But this one is great.

It would be a cool side project to hand forge an actual Lathe Dog to drive the work between centers.

This is awesome. Glad to see you get back to making a knife. My dream: you and Kyle Royer do a collab.

Enjoying all of your videos

Yo! Look! Alec is a blacksmith again! ;)

Now this is a great project 👌

It's nice to see you back on Damascus, but, for those times you're doing other projects I get my 'Damascus fix' from the channel 'shurap', he does some EXCELLENT blades with gun barrels, needles, and all sorts, it's another fine channel for those who love the artistic Damascus steel!! 👍 😎🇬🇧

The editing continues to be on point. A+

Less speed, more feed. Heavier chip load reduces chatter. I'm glad I came back to your channel.

Alec: Video idea - Do a strength test versus various pieces of "solid" forged metal, then several pieces of Damascus. Then, like, do some Alec Steele stuff and see which one is stronger. Sharpen some, try to dull it, etc. I'm always a fan of any modern Damascus work, but have always been curious if it's really as superior as the olden "wootz" versions are claimed to be.

Glad to see a forging project, at last!

Alec, make yourself a Patreon. Seriously. While you have limited new subscribers, as you mentioned in your video here, there are so many die hard fans that would happily support you with $1-$5 a month. Would help your materials cost and everything.

It would be interesting to see a one piece project like this with a “simple” twist damascus 🤓 Where you could follow each stripe from start to end.

Finally. Forging sharp, pointy things again!

Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Alec!!!

Being an apprentice in turning on a machine tool, I was taught that when you machine forging or foundry blanks, the best way you do it is to use a resistance carbide insert of the WNMG or DNMG type. Thank you for always making us learn new stuff in an interesting way.

@armageddontools

Unofortunately with inserts its not that easy ,there is dozen submarkings on them that specify geometry of said insert and its purpose. WNMG is geomety type designation ,same insert can be used for rough and heavy work(WNMGRP ,RM ) or finishing pass (FH). Going into inseret types and which one to use for what alloy is a pandoras box. To simplify it as much as i can since i dont want to write a novel- heavy roughing cut -negative rake angle ,nose radius 0.8-1.2mm,inserts with 45°- 55° angle -tilt the knife if needed in holder. it takes a lot of horse power to do roughing operations fast,machine needs great rigidity ,cut forces are high as well as depth of cut. Light cuts and long peaces(like shafts for example that you dont want to chatter -turn from chuck to the tailstock) and finish work -Positive rake angle ,0.2-0.4 nose angle A big nose angle is robust, but it calls for a greater amount of machine power and has a greater propensity to vibrate. A tiny nose angle is weaker and has a smaller cutting-edge engagement, both of which might make it more vulnerable to the effects of heat. Negative rake angle is more resistant to impact and overheating but it needs more force to cut ,it creates more chatter. Positive rake angle will make easier cut and leave better finish but its more prone to chipping when you do interrupt cut. To understand all this stuff better you should read some old books on using lathe ,they cover geometry of lathe knifes,some of them might be old but the tools havent changed at all ,same principles apply you just dont grind them anymore by your hand and materials are better and stronger and you can cut harder stuff but geometry remains the same.

YESSSS knifemaking againnn LETSGOOOOOOO

Finished work late.. Pizza + Hot Sauce, this as the very first recommend video. Less than 30s of intro then BAM BAM BAM power hammer! ❤ Love it! Hope you have a good weekend mate 👍

Very interesting seeing a raw piece centered. Always curious about reference surfaces, finding squareness, and centers.

been a while since we have a 17 part scratch blade build....can't wait!

Felt like there is an upgrade in cinematography

About time we get some forging action

I'll watch you make a tiny power hammer, or a saw out of saws, but we're back at the forge for something pointy, and that's just fantastic.

Love this series….last was great as well…but love seeing the forge and hammer working together again

When the shim came out it was a sign to give the mini steam power hammer it's chance at glory

Alec forging is why I’m here, back at it!

Everytime I see someone drive a key out of a powerhammer die, I get a throwback to Corona pandemic times when Adam from Hand Tool Rescue shared his monthlong struggles to pull/push/yank/drill/torch out one of his powerhammer die keys. These where the days...

I think I agree with Alec. I don't recall that device ever being built, or the lathe ever being used like that on this channel. But I am a newer viewer, I've only been around for coming up to 4 years. I met the guy in Texas who bought Alec's viking longsword. it is stored in his vault with all his rifles and money lol. It was so incredible in person and he let me hold it and feel how sharp and beautiful it was, who could resist subscribing to the channel that made such a sword!

A new Kyle Royer project video and now a new Alec video on the same day? Man, what a good Friday.

Please tell this is the sign that Alec is going to bring back knife and sword making to the channel!

cool, cant wait tin the next vid

I would like a stiletto dagger like this! Course I could probably use this video to make my own.

This guy absolutely boggles my mind, he has the attention to detail and experience of some Zen machinist of the age of 80 and he looks 10 years younger than me, great content man.

I love watching you build tools and knives. Combine both, I would like to see an OTF KNIFE, 😁👍
