FINISH THE FLINTLOCK!!!😎
By the way, of which do you have more; vises or anvils?
Keep the aspidistra flying!
For sure finish the “not a firearm”
Way way way more vises! 5:1 I think
@@WillStelterbladesmith Will,
That be a lot of vises my lad. A big pile of vises for sure. A very big pile indeed.
That video will get flagged so hard by RUclips but I want to see it so bad.
@@WillStelterbladesmith x2 FINISH THE FLINTLOCK!!!
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?
“I’ve got the hammer killer” damn I felt that. Every time I think about that I can hear the sound of that power hammer hitting the ground, followed by you crying NOOOOOO!!
Same. So much raw emotion and heartfelt ANGUISH. Will never forget that.
I don't think I can ever look at a pump truck the same way again lol
Love your appreciation for tool history, restoring and using older equipment.
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.
Thank you for being a proud Christian blacksmith. Your appreciation for the Word and for the conservation of American Manufacturing and smithing history is great and a pleasure to see in your videos. God bless and I cannot wait for the next upload.
Finish the flintlock!!! That's beyond amazing
Cool tour love to see the flintlock finished
Yeah i wana see that flint lock finished!!!
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!
Great video, I love the appreciation of old tools and machines. FINISH THE FLINTLOCK!!!! 👍
It's been said before, and it'll be said again...
Will, you are a man of many vices.
Did anyone else catch the Legend of Old Gregg reference at 15:39? 😂😂😂 this brings me so much joy!!
Looking forward to this! What a perfectly timed upload, just got on the train for my morning commute. Thank you for your consideration!
Bro, it's midnight
@@johnreese1337 he’s probably European lol, almost nobody commutes on the train in the US unfortunately
@@statisticallysound not european. It was roughly midnight in europe
Can confirm I am down and under both the EU and the US. :) Australia :)
@@tekkno.logist i was going to guess Japan! Y'all really have trains in Straya ?
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.
Seriously though you need that book. If you dont
That is an amazing idea with the flintlock! I wanna see that!
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
Finishing the flint lock would be sick! Also a matching Kentucky long rifle???
I would love to see that non-gun (gun) finished
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!!
A note on that motor, The rpm is technically the same, motors come in a fixed amout of speeds due to the 60hz of the power. the amount of poles a motor has determines the speed and the rpm on the motor you have is likely the no load speed where as the origional listed the load rpm. Great job will, love your videos. I used to live in spokane now im in NY
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.
Alright, lets see more of the FLINTLOOCK!
Definitely need a flint lock finishing video!
Ooo you should get a grounded hazmat locker for those chemicals and have it away from any hot work.
And an eye-wash station!
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!
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.
Great idea, I’d love to see that.
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!
😂😂😂
Will, your enthusiasm for your machines, tools, and craft is infectious! I always enjoy your restoration videos.
I could spend hours and hours just looking at everything in this shop... also FINISH THE FLINTLOCK
It's fun to see you get excited about your craft and the "toys" you own.
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.
This is the couch,….. it’s for sitting. Seriously love it.
Amazing shop.
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.
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 😀
Hey Will,
I was born in 1946. That makes me the same age as your Reed 108!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Paul
This is excellent. Thanks for walking though it all.
1:49 "I've got the Hammer Killer."
*Everyone felt that.*
I just imagine Will as a red head disney mermaid ... singing about his collection .... and he wants more !!!!
I would say 98% of the time, I like the music you pick out for your videos.
would love to see the flintlock finished
I have 2 vices and no anvils - you win! Quite a blacksmith shop!
"...I got the hammer killer..."
Pfffffffhahaha, that one caught me off guard! 😂😁
But I can still hear the scream as this massive chunk of metal tipped off the pallet mover and shattered on the asphalt...👀
Old guns? Yes, please. Civil War era rifles are some of the prettiest I've ever seen.
Yes finished a black Powered handgun😊👍😊
You have more vices than I have hammers. But seriously though you have a dream shop it's amazing that you've been able to accumulate that many amazing tools at your age. I know it doesn't come overnight and that you've had to work to gain the skills required but definitely an amazing blessing
Shop is looking great Will, I love a shop tour video, no need to clean up just for us viewers ... lol
I fall in love everytime he says "nifty".😍😂
I would love to see you finish up the flint lock. That would be awesome!
Boom stick videos are always a winning video in my book
"Got the hammer killer". So much pain hidden in a passing comment.
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 RUclips business is part of it too.
Love your videos!
You have a shop and museum mix. I love all the old tools!
Finish the Flintlock! Finish it!
My favorite journeyman bladesmith :D
Lmfao! I love how you called pump cart a hammer killer! 🤣
if you hold the left key on your keyboard in the beginning of the video its a funky will dancing tiktok "how-how-how-how-howdy!"
not showing the insides of every drawer that was opened was a HUGE disservice to the community lol
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!
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.
I LOL'd when you made the comment about Steve Schwarzer and the vise!! 😂😂
" ...its good to have bench vices.. everywhere." no idea why that was so funny :D
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 want a full flint lock series! That would be awesome.
Can't wait to see the vise restorations!
I noticed that hes starting to get blacksmith arms. Congratulations in growing out of the baby Smith into a full big armed blacksmith 👍🏻
Really appreciate the old Gregg reference 15:39
Will, with regard to the blown phase converter for you lathe. You can replace it with a properly sized VFD for a fraction of the cost. You can even buy them now that will turn 240 volt single phase in 240 volt 3 phase. Just a thought.
Yes finish the flint lock please would like to see that thank you
Outstanding. Made in the USA 🇺🇸
I know you love old tools. So if interested i have an old 2.5 ton chain hoist. Its huge and heavy. Might be more than 2.5 ton im not positive but its like 150 pounds and has like a foot in a half diameter. It would make a great restoration video and look great in your shop.
Well, would you ever consider making some videos about your life outside your work with tools etc. What are you eat, drink, hobbies, where you live, your likes/dislikes etc..I think people might be really really interested!
Anyone: How many vises do you need?
Will: Yes.
Gosh Will, I was going to say that you were a little shy on vices over there!! Good thing you mentioned it at the end! LOL
Yes! Finish the flintlock! Even make a video about it if you think YT won't get in a hissy fit about it
At your age you are super blessed to have a shop like that. Well done.
That was a fun -Shop- vise collection tour.
Yes finish that up. Be fun to watch.
"today were going to talk about the workshop and thats it" immediately talks about something other than the workshop lol
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."
I think you need more vices. Especially 1 to hold toilet paper in the bathroom. 1 for you toothbrush holder. 1 for holding you keys ect.
Heck yeah finish that flintlock!
Random unfinished black-powder pistol with Damascus-pattern barrel?
FINISH IT!
Finish that flint lock up! Its Beautiful
That Flintlock is awesome, please finish!
Powerhammers are great and one of their best features is that if you are using them at their maximum you can actually heat up the steel just from working it to theoretically forge a piece forever without needing to reheat it.
Will has so many vices. So many, many vices. I'll pray for you.
Hell ya, finish the flintlock. Steve would appreciate it too.
Another vote to finish the flintlock!
I'm all about watching you finish that pistola!
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
Umm... Yes you need to finish the flintlock! And then end the video in epic fashion doing combat in Revolutionary War attire, the pistol, and a tomahawk that you also forged!
Will, you gotta finish the flit lock!!! I am so envious of your shop, it seems like its a time capsule already.
Love shop tours!
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.
“Hey look at this vice! Hey have you seen this vice?! This vice is super heavy!” I love to see will keep it up
Incredible tour in your shop just amazing
"Knife sauce's" make it a shirt Will!
