I've never seen such an amazing, perfectly articulated segway into a sponsor read. Brought tears to my eyes XD

Masterpiece

“You don’t want the ends touching because then it doesn’t music very well” Science with Will Stelter

That twist on the twister was so immaculately and evenly twisty. Quite satisfying

You know most blacksmiths work really hard to make things not ring.😂 You're the first blacksmith I ever saw try to make the ringing get louder.👏👏👏 Good job Will.

It was a pleasure to hear it ring this morning, and an absolute honor to be able to shake your hand and talk to you for a minute, thanks Will!

As a percussionist I'm extremely impressed. Nice work.

i played triangle in a reggae band... "i used to stand at the back and ting"

The triangle has an open corner in order to inhibit it from having a definite pitch and thereby increasing the complexity and richness of the overtones produced. It's actually an "IDIOPHONE"..

The technical term is "musics better"

We will need a follow-up short of her opening it and using it for sure.

Nice work. It is loud because it is large and is made of hard and springy stuff, and has strong resonances in the frequency bands where your ears are sensitive.

so glad will started making videos after parting with Alec been a blast watching your journey

You sir are a gift!

That is just lovely! I'd love to see a proper frequency spectrum of that thing since it has uneven arms vs root. It does sound like it is a tiny bit spread in frequency.

That'd be cool! A lot of concert triangles are designed that way on purpose to produce various overtones, sometimes also having arms of different length; I've even seen a couple where the thickness of the triangle varies drastically at different points. Perhaps the strangest triangle I've seen was one made out of square tube and gently twisted, before bending it into a triangle. I'm fairly certain it was made of brass, as it was very delicate

@@MesaCoast A triangle is supposed to be the third harmonic, considering it's suspended from a third of a way from the tip and struck usually in the middle of the sides (one sixth away from the tips or any nodes)? I could see that even a slightly wrong suspension place (not exactly on the node of the main tone) will quickly absorb the vibration into the leather strap and also the two edge segments being 5-10% shorter than the middle segment will probably do all kinds of funky things to the tuning. I'd imagine that it will indeed "spread" the tone into a bunch of less defined nearby tones and give the triangle a much more natural sound than just one pure tone (with some over-harmonics)?

As both a percussionist and a knife person, this is really cool to watch.

the camera work on this is awesome

As being one of the first people in line, im so stoked to now know that ya made the triangle! Definitely a way better way of starting off the whole show!

Needs more Cowbell!

A simply brilliant and comprehensive description of just what a triangle is🤣😂🤣

As soon as you hit it and harmonized with it I thought JUST LIKE HOT ROD!!! and then you played the clip 🤣😂 Brilliant!

Not thick enough? Well, that's upsetting.

Man, you're the best kind of awkward. Please don't change.

My favorite two parts of this video: The moment he looks at the triangle and goes "uh oh". The sound the splice in the sandpaper makes on his 2X72 when he uses it as a slack belt. There's no comedic substitute for shop antics.😂

Your segways into sponsors is something if legend! Would love for you to make a compilation of them all someday!!!!!

This gives me an idea for a project for you. Traditional pipe Tomahawks were made out of gun barrels. So forge an octagon gun barrel out of Damascus. Then cut it down and make pipe Tomahawks.

first video watcher of your channel. Your transition into the squarespace add is what got me. Funny stuff, making things for other people just because, nice guy - keep it coming!!

That imitation of Alec Steel was On Point and so unexpected i had to pause the video to recover😂😂😂😂

I am impressed by how you worked the sponsor into the presentation.

16:14, that's not the triangle going quiet, that's your ears never being able to hear that frequency again HAHA

Create two Damascus round bars with tapered ends, featuring various-sized holes. Interlock these round bars with an aluminum round bar in the center. To produce sound, place a wooden stool with a leather cushion on the aluminum round bar. Then, strike the aluminum round bar with a wooden round stock.

Smooth intro to the sponsor 😂😂

Hey Will, not sure if you'll respond or not, but I've been watching you since you showed up at Alec's shop and watched Alec for a long time too. But there's one thing I never understood (just a casual forge lover but don't have anything to forge myself) is when or how do you decide to use either the Beaudry or the smaller power hammers, or the press? Why does it feel like sometimes you could honestly just use all 3 for the same thing, but you pick one or the other? That's not something I've seen being talked in any videos so far, and I was curious. Thank you!

Next up , a Damascus tuning fork that can shatter glass !!!!

Perfect transition to talking about square space

Will, still killin it, uploading more often! Love your thought process btw.

That was a fun build to watch. Very cool and thanks for sharing. I hope she loves it.

Wow it sounds absolutely magnificent!

thank you for taking me along with this experince

I thought the belt grinder was going to start playing popcorn there for a moment xD

such a cool and fun build. wish we got to see it in action at the show

Hey look it's the one thing I too have made with a forge! Minus the actually hard pattern steel, I just used mild tool steel :) and needed help with my bends because I was too weak

Dude, that is really cool. Thanks for sharing the process.

Beautiful work.

Lol love the Alec impression (full on Hugh Lorrie) haha Love the vid too, super polished! Love to see you and Iziah getting into your Rhythm 🥁 🔨

Cool change of pace. Sweet work. I hope to see you tomorrow in SLC

Very nice job. The note just keeps going on and on.

Great build!

I love the way Will plugs his sponsorships😂

I didn't know you were such an expert on triangles.

Will, Your videos always make me smile 🙂. Thank you. Keep the aspidistra flying! God bless, Paul

Amazing work and great ring to it 🥰😎

Excellent video, Brother. I helped some Scouts make something like a hundred of these the other year, with the old guy's jigs and such, out of mild steel rod stock,

anyone else just absolutely fascinated by the sight of the mill scale cracking off, revealing the glowing white hot metal underneath?

I prefer the more subtle contrast over the high contrast.

Had this video on a pretty high volume. The first time you played it, a bunch of dogs in my neighborhood started barking... 🤣🤣🤣 It is loud indeed.

You've grown so much as a content creator. Im really proud of you! Did you make a little ASMR section before the ad?

Coool that’s an unusual masterpiece, the Damascus layers give its sound an extra radiant flaring, I believe you can open a portal with it when ringed in the right way😂

Well done Will. 😁👍🏼

watching this really makes me wish I had learned a real skill instead of going to uni, if I had I would be able to create such beauty, rather than being just another cog in a corporate machine. Love the channel Will! thanks for letting me live vicariously through you

Beautiful work m8

In the future, if you can harden some damascus steel, use some cold blue after you etch it. That will only darken the high carbon steel, giving you great contrast.

I was looking up a triangle like you made but shaped like a hexagon. Couldn't find a thing, I didn't search for long so Im sure someone at some point made one? But that would be a neat instrument to make. It seems you get three notes with the triangle, the hexagon should give one 6 notes. I have no idea where you would put the opening, probably near the same area you would on a triangle. Either way that would be fun little project.

I wonder if the length and volume of the ringing is due to it being Damascus?

That square space intro was a good one

I made a dinner bell at work earlier today. It wasn't damascus, or triangular. Once you figure out the basics it is pretty easy to make a loud one in a wide range of different shapes.

🤓Me: A percusionist, no wait a triangle player haha *DEMASCUS* 🧐Also me: Behold the fine craftmanship and sheer talent of this artist

That triangle is really good and all, but I think it needs more cowbell

I love the way you lead into the sponsor mention.

About the same tone as my Military Grade Tinitus

"Because science" best explanation ever!! Ps. Lathe problems, call Adam Booth

That is very cool.

I have some old rock iron brownstock, two pieces, roughly 6 inches round by 2 inches in diameter. If I sent it to you, could you possibly do something with it?

On old farmhouse triangles there are two sides that run parallel and overlap

Made one of them up last Christmas time for silent santa That bell changed handle till it couldnt be taken any more

Love the Maritime Knife Supply hoodie!!

Alright. I came for the craft, laughed at the sponsorship segway. Have a sub sir.

I have always wondered about using fusion tig welding in damascus. Could you alloy the two steels to get a third color post etch? Perhaps use the tig to put an organic flowing shape over top an otherwise sharp geometric pattern?

damn, looks goooooood

Gotta make one of these for da new farm ❤!!!

Wow that is one evil harmonic on that thing nice build though. Thanks for posting Will.

I'm pretty sure she will like this amazing dry angle! 😁😁🤘🤘

A triangle was the first thing I ever "forged"

Ultimate punch! Haha, I love Hot Rod!
