This YouTube channel primarily focuses on various aspects of blacksmithing, metalworking, and crafting unique items from scratch, occasionally incorporating unconventional materials and techniques. Viewers can anticipate content ranging from traditional forging practices to modern fabrication methods, including the creation of weapons, tools, home goods, and even giant structures such as articulating lamps and saws. Some episodes feature special guests sharing their skills and participating in collaborative projects.

My name's Alec Steele and here you'll find weekly videos documenting the process of building some awesome projects here in the shop. As a blacksmith, most of the projects start as lumps of steel, or stacks of different alloys for making damascus, that I forge out into blades, sculpture, art or tools before taking the project to the machining equipment or into the grinding room for finishing. Each project teaches me a lot and stretches the bounds of my knowledge. I make a lot of mistakes but they serve as an excellent teacher. There's always something important for me to learn in the shop!

I want my work to be the spark that ignites the desire for you to get into your shop (or kitchen/basement/garage) and make something too! Whether it's stitching a leather wallet or forging a giant sword, you'll love the creative process.
