I feel like I just watched Brian’s video. Hit for hit. Nice work

I’ve really enjoyed your vids. I’ve decided to go back and watch them all!

As a beginner, this is just mindboggeling! Very impressive!

You are correct! AND THAT IS WHY YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Thank you sir! It means a great deal!

Thank you :) All about surface area contact with the anvil, rotating every blow and lighting up the material with each blow :D

It's all about efficiency and economy of movement, along with proper tool selection and good technique.Another great video Alec. Now, if only I could do the same!

Alec the metal moving machine! Well done and thanks for posting!

Awesome work Alec! Very inspiring. Like watching Brian's video. I'm hoping to make it up to jackson to watch you Young Smiths at work. ~Matthew

Felicitaciones, es notable la maestria del herrero, dibujando sobre el hierro. buenísimo

Thats a lot of work off one heat, very well done..

Well done, I'm sure it's taken some practice to get to this point. I need to make some tongs here soon, I know they will take more than one heat. But it's something to aspire to. Thanks

Nice and clean work Alec! It is great to see what can be done in one heat. Great!

Very nice!

Thank you very muchly.

yay first comment ;) Looks good! keep up the amazing work! -Blake

That looked like smaller stock! I only have 1.5" sucker rod. XD I wish I had 3/4 to practice this stuff with. I've made 4 tong heads so far though. That rounding hammer must really make a difference! Awesome job.

Tractor supply, Lowe's , home depot, 10 bucks and your good to go

Hey Alec, I know this is an older video but I'm currently working through your intermediate course and am a little confused on exactly where you're hitting the bar on the second set of 3 hits in relation to the jaw. I don't expect you to see this, but I guess it's worth a shot

very nice you make every stroke count. very economical. If u get the time, i am interested in making slightly larger pieces. Would it be possible for you to make a video in which you forge a multi-leaf vine? thank you for the consideration

The steel is burning, but yeah...you move a lot of material in a single shot. very well done ;)

Looked just as good as Brian's

looked as good as Brians and looked like Brians hammer and video

It took me 7 to make some tobgs
