Alec Steele

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!
