It’s amazing that in this day and age, in today’s America there is young generation of craftsmen that take pride and joy in making quality things! I’m following your channel since the day you left Alex to take your own path and It makes me happy to see it grow

I think the media and internet twist our view on the young generation. the internet is full of sites dictated to "makers" it is one of tha largest and fastest growing communities. trouble is the kids involved in it are hidden, we see the gangs hanging out on the street corners, not the ones building a knife in their dads shed.

Dont you mean since the day you left alec to forge your own path?

Please finish the Flintlock! That would be an amazing project

I love how Will is trying to justify all the (duplicate) stuff in his shop with some practical reason, but we all know he just loves to buy and own old heavy chunks of steel with history.

Love your appreciation for tool history, restoring and using older equipment.

Yeah i wana see that flint lock finished!!!

Finish the flintlock!!! That's beyond amazing

Will, thanks for not just glossing over the cross and scriptures you have written on the wall and actually pointing them out. This takes a level of courage in our political environment. Thank you.

Anyone else wanting to see Will do a 100% mill produced knife? Because I think that would make some great viewing!

Cool tour love to see the flintlock finished

It's been said before, and it'll be said again... Will, you are a man of many vices.

Finishing the flint lock would be sick! Also a matching Kentucky long rifle???

Did anyone else catch the Legend of Old Gregg reference at 15:39? 😂😂😂 this brings me so much joy!!

Will Stelter Gun and Blade Smith sounds like a heck of a brand name! But it would be super interesting to see you work on the flintlock

Great video, I love the appreciation of old tools and machines. FINISH THE FLINTLOCK!!!! 👍

That is an amazing idea with the flintlock! I wanna see that!

I would love to see that non-gun (gun) finished

If you don't got it. Get The machinery Handbook. It's more valuable then you'd expect, considering it seems your less comfortable with the machining side of things. Also surface grinders have every grit you can imagine I've never heard of it being switched to belt and I'm surprised you aren't more inclined to get a tool cutter grinder, you could use that as a surface grinder as well as use the various vices to get very cool shapes and angles you couldn't get otherwise. Also you can sharpen lathe and mill tools obviously as the name implies or even shape carbide.

Please do the finished video of the flint knock pistol, because ive got one very similiar that needs restoring, so i would like very much to see your approach to that. Thanks!!

Ooo you should get a grounded hazmat locker for those chemicals and have it away from any hot work. And an eye-wash station!

Definitely need a flint lock finishing video!

Alright, lets see more of the FLINTLOOCK!

Speaking of a surface grinder, my grandson and I started making him a large sword out of a chunk of 1/4" flat stock I had laying around. Someone had been using it as a floor scraper, I think. I wanted to put a fuller down the middle of the blade, but am very limited in the tools I have at hand, so I was trying to figure out a way to get a nice, clean, straight cut with an angle grinder. The solution I came up with came in the form of a two-drawer, chromed, heavy wire insert for kitchen cabinets, that a neighbor had given me. The unit is pretty heavy, with good, smooth, roller-bearing drawer slides. I was able to clamp the angle grinder so the disk was protruding down through the top drawer, with the sword clamped to the top of the bottom drawer. By using thin spacers under the sword, and the travel of both drawers, I was able to grind a perfect grove the entire length of the 3' + blade. I think with some creative clamping, I'll be able to flatten it and grind the primary bevels as well. It's not a 3 ton chunk of cast iron, but with some bracing, it does a surprisingly good job. Sure beats weeks worth of hand-filing, or the butcher-job I'd make of trying to free-hand with a grinder. Love and envy your old iron, and your passion. Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to this! What a perfectly timed upload, just got on the train for my morning commute. Thank you for your consideration!

It's fun to see you get excited about your craft and the "toys" you own.

First FINISH THE FLINTLOCK , PLEASE! So awesome to listen to talk about the machines and there history, love watching your videos , so glad your still smithing Will ! inspiring!

I could spend hours and hours just looking at everything in this shop... also FINISH THE FLINTLOCK

Will, your enthusiasm for your machines, tools, and craft is infectious! I always enjoy your restoration videos.

This is the couch,….. it’s for sitting. Seriously love it. Amazing shop.

Will - As an old soldier I got on Alec's case about a droopy sad looking US flag in his original shop back in England. He did straighten it and a few others out which pleased me no end! Please do Our Flag right if you would. If you need a new one just respond and I will send one to you. Please give me the dimensions if you do. Thanks!

As an ongoing joke you could put up a small sign on the front of the shop reading "VISE SQUAD". If someone asks if you spelled it wrong, tell them,"You need to step inside." Finishing the flintlock is a good idea IF it doesn't keep you from more knife projects.

This Boy from Montana whacking around with Alex in England has come quite some ways. Respect. Keep going.

would love to see the flintlock finished

You have a shop and museum mix. I love all the old tools!

I have 2 vices and no anvils - you win! Quite a blacksmith shop!

I recently got a 16inch swing- 72inch bed 1940's south bend lathe. i got it in working condition at a machine shop closing auction for $300. It also came with a massive boring setup that weighs at least 300lbs. The owner of the shop personally sourced the lathe by himself at 14 years old in 1943. they made bearing washers for aircraft during WWII. I still haven't run it because it isnt moved to its permanent place and we dont have 3phase in the garage.

Hey Will, I was born in 1946. That makes me the same age as your Reed 108! Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul

Incredible tour in your shop just amazing

Oregon is great! Thank you for coming to the state I live in. The history you have and know about your shop tools is something that needs to be passed on. Thank you so much for caring!

Love shop tours!

Anyone: How many vises do you need? Will: Yes.

Can't wait to see the vise restorations!

Really appreciate the old Gregg reference 15:39

Great shop Will! The period pieces are outstanding!

I would love to see you finish up the flint lock. That would be awesome!

I really enjoyed that. It's awesome to see how you and your business has grown. Thanks for showing us around and taking us along for the ride ! Looking forward to the surface grinder !! :D

This is excellent. Thanks for walking though it all.

Love it. You have years worth of awesome videos worth of stuff just working in the shop fixing up the shop! Go! Ready.

"Got the hammer killer". So much pain hidden in a passing comment.

Great video again Will. Thank you. 👍😁

Thx for the tour bud, nice shop you've put together!

Finish the pistol and then forge a Tudor style cannon to go with it. Yes, the English in the Tudor era forged their cannons instead of casting them. They were smaller and couldn't take as large of a charge, but they were cheaper and I think you could forge a small one very easily. Something smaller than what is historically accurate, but it is for firing off blanks for fun, not going to war with the French and Spanish.

Loved the details you provided on the old machines.

So proud of how far u have come in such a short time 4 a young fella just amazing inspiring even 4 an old fella from working with Alex to your own shop and more importantly being a journey man amazing bro I'm not 1 to leave a comment to often think it's my first time on this channel but I have been watching u for some time well from the beginning u r a top young man will ill be happy if my kids grow into half the gentleman u r keep up the grind obviously it's pays off in the long game oh all how could I forget your finishing skills on a blade are second to none 😀

Great video as always!!!

Lovely update, Will. I’d love to see you finish up that pistol. I have one my grandfather made.

Boom stick videos are always a winning video in my book

Old guns? Yes, please. Civil War era rifles are some of the prettiest I've ever seen.

I fall in love everytime he says "nifty".😍😂

Awesome shop Will! I love the style and functionality

Great shop tour! Love the tools and their history. I'm a woodworker, and have a similar love of tools and especially Vises. I use both woodworking vises and machinist vises. I'd love to find a blacksmith's leg vise that I could afford, I do some metal working, and I think it would be a great addition to my tools.

I just imagine Will as a red head disney mermaid ... singing about his collection .... and he wants more !!!!

Very good video William. Informative, interesting and I like your enthusiasm for the shop.

Enjoyed the video! Always find it inspiring to see other people's shop setups

What a great work space you now have Will! Well done 🤙

I want a full flint lock series! That would be awesome.

Thank you for sharing you expertise.

" ...its good to have bench vices.. everywhere." no idea why that was so funny :D

Lmfao! I love how you called pump cart a hammer killer! 🤣

Yes finish that up. Be fun to watch.

I would say 98% of the time, I like the music you pick out for your videos.

Finish that flint lock up! Its Beautiful

I'm all about watching you finish that pistola!

My favorite journeyman bladesmith :D

You are such a spring of knowledge about these machines, anvils, hammers and all of that stuff. Love the way you honor the past on your channel. BTW Definitely finish that flintlock!

NIce workshop! Love to see more about that vice!

Things look great in the shop. I like that you have the right tool for the job. You definitely need to finish the flintlock. Such a wild barrel construct.

Heck yeah finish that flintlock!

Yes finish the flint lock please would like to see that thank you

Yes please, finish the not-a-firearm. Show us everything from shaping, sanding and finishing the wood to range time. If you have a vice, it's vises.

Feels like we know your shop inside out now Will. Look forward to seeing your next video.

A) Yes to the Flintlock. B) Am I the only one who laughed at the Old Gregg reference? "I've got this. This is good."

Awesome shop

Hey Will, I was wondering if you could also do a little behind the scenes "Here's what we currently use to film / edit our videos." that you can periodically give us an update on every so often. It would be interesting to see too. Obviously, your focus is on the hardware you work with and well, the media creation aspect of your KZread business is part of it too. Love your videos!

excellent vid sir

Hell ya, finish the flintlock. Steve would appreciate it too.

We want to see you finish that flintlock, please 👍. AND see you make a knife on the milling machine alone, too - just for the fun of it.

At your age you are super blessed to have a shop like that. Well done.

This is the bombbb

Yes finished a black Powered handgun😊👍😊

Definitely finish the flintlock. neat mechanisms.

Great content thanks for sharing

That Flintlock is awesome, please finish!
