@@anubis4496 The requirement is 8mins. Personally I'm here for it! Builds limited to one episode have a ceiling in quality and complexity, allow the man to grow!
A really old school video vibe which is great to see! I'm sure it's a lot of work but definitely worth it seeing Alec make some Damascus again and seeing some great videography from Jamie too. Excited to see the rest of this series!
Omg yes! I thought I was misreading at first and it was just an old video that I’ve already watched numerous times. Without checking I’m pretty sure it’s been at least a year since we’ve seen Alec do a multi part Damascus weapon build series, and I’d guess that 90+% of us subscribers fell in love with his channel for exactly that. We’ve missed this so much and I’m so pumped to see how this turns out! Alec Steele is back!
YEEEEESSSSS!!!! A multi part damascus build!!!! Love the editing by the way Jamie. We asked for an old school style video series and you have responded with a plom, thank you!
Old Alec: Frantically cleans Damascus with a grinder for 6 episodes. New Alec : uses a milling machine. They grow up so fast 🤧 Btw Jamie you did a masterpiece of showing the same stuff in a new way. Props !!
I really don’t understand how even after all the years the bunch of you still manages to make the forging, cutting and welding shots look cooler and cooler each time! Love the evolution of skills y’all developed over time. Edit: Oh, and the fooling around. Definitely love to see the fooling around! 😁
I've been watching your videos since the coke Forge and I got to say I think I finally figured out why the vibe is so good. It's because you are a blacksmith but you remind me a lot of the good points of my grandfather who loved to work on cars. Always trying new stuff, always fixing tools to fix other tools to fix the thing, loving huge old heavy duty tools. Love your channel
This is the Alev Steele Videos I have been waiting for, and also that is the best pattern stacking description I have ever seen on any of your videos. Really out of any Damascus making videos I have seen but I have not searched for them.
Love that you guys actually listen to the comments give your fans what they want I love any video you guys put out but a good old multi-part series always hits the soul just right
Alec; as a woodworker and hobby luthier your tease of a Damascus guitar got me WAY too excited. You should collaborate with a woodworking channel to make a functioning guitar! You could make the pickup covers, pickguard, frets, tuners, knobs, headstock decals. And any other metal you can find on there!
Thanks for a new weapon build!!! I love seeing you learning to build tools and other projects but seeing you make an historic or fantasy weapon is my favourite. Great channel Alec!
2:58 automagic. Love the montages Jamie, this was a really really good one! cheers. Oh! don’t forget the hard work :) thank you Mr Steele. Don’t we all love damascus 🎉
Quality camera work and editing Jamie! Loved the nod to your old work with power hammer timing etc but adding new depth still. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing how this build progresses! 😀
Hell yeah I am so damn excited about this series already, we've got awesome damascus, we've got a badass weapon, we've got jamie's antics and top notch editing, we've got montages, I can't wait for the next parts!
Crazy how far you guys have come over the years. This video was absolutely amazing. The intro sequence looked like a legit music video, you got jokes, and having a step-by-step explanation of the process is always greatly appreciated.
What an amazing job on this one Jamie. Really cool to see the new videography, music, and editing. It was a fun change of pace and we can tell you put in a good bit of effort.
Nice to see you're finally taking decent depths of cut on the mill! Kudos to Jamie, some of the best camera work I've seen in a long time. Looks old school :-) Love it!
The video has just started (42 seconds) and i'm completely blown away by the edit Mr. Jamie Popple (hope i'm not wrong with the spelling). What a great job.
That chefs knife was by far one of my favorite builds you’ve done.definitely my favorite Damascus pattern. Happy to see your building something similar again.
This is exciting, glad to see you back at it. This is what we love buddy. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I only wish the videos were a little longer
Soooo sooo happy, it's like the good old days are back! Thank you all at the channel! The dog training is definitely paying off from the looks of it. Although I did wonder if there is much money to be made from it. Looks like good fun though.. Looking forward to the next installment of the new project, and seeing how the pattern turns out. Stay good! 👍✌🖖
Alec! Add a tasty coffee making montage within this series to make this series really authentic! Really excited for this build its why I subscribed to you 5 or more years back!
now we're talking. this is the content that I subscribed for. the intermediary episodes of Alec making a padlock or a zippo were mildly interesting, sure, but they were basically him just making a copy of something that's already been designed and made. doesn't make for a very interesting project just seeing someone copy something. would've been more fascinating if it was more along the lines of other creators who take inspiration from existing designs but either add a personal flair to it or design something significantly different with the original as inspiration on how engineering/mechanical problems were solved.
Finally a blacksmith RUclipsr that actually makes his content actually fun to watch, instead of a building timelapse. The Scooby Doo reference was great.
Unlike the concerns you voiced in an earlier video, I can't get enough from seeing you make Damascus, and forging :) It's so nice to see. Please keep it up!
Love the intro! Love the purple/orange/oldschool vibe shoot of the powerhammer session! Love the project! Lets go boys ! Lots of love from The Netherlands ✌️
First off amazing job Jamie. I am super happy to see you doing builds like this again, but I will say that I think a mix between the new type of content and the older loved content would work quite well.
Really been missing the awesome forging shots. Very happy to see the return in this video. Ready for this 52 part series (Now that Will is gone to do all the sanding)
I was thinking just the other day that I missed your blade making series and separately that it would be cool if you made a a katar/Qatar. Now here we are. I'm happy.
I'm sure this has already been said but turn up the heat for those welds or preheat the material a bit to help get a smoother weld . Id recommend running spray for the side welds. but welds hold for there purpose so good job :) love the video ill have to watch all the ones ive missed in between now and when you moved back to the UK.
Heard you lot were thirsty for a good old damascus weapon build.
Spectacular work
THE Jamie?
You heard right
I’d love to have your music library 🤘
The people have spoken 👏 🙌
Alec is back with a 40 part build and I'm so here for it!!!! This has been greatly anticipated🤩🤩
Wouldn't have to be 40 parts if he didn't keep them all just over 10 minutes for the RUclips money 🤣🤣
@@anubis4496 The requirement is 8mins. Personally I'm here for it! Builds limited to one episode have a ceiling in quality and complexity, allow the man to grow!
@@anubis4496 Whatever. I'm down for it... if it goes 40 parts.
Here’s hoping that Alec breaks something and this turns in to a good old fashioned 945 episode series including 40 hours of hand sanding 🤟
Nooooo...
I want this so much!
24 episode series make my Stargate Binging Genes happy.
Seconded!
i see 8 episodes of fixing the engraver and the doing something extra fancy for the handle and image he might put on the blade itself
Will is not there anymore for the hand sanding
That intro was on another level, can't wait for this series.
Glad to see you taking on community feedback guys, big love.
Jamie's editing really is something else. That intro was properly epic.
Yeah he really enjoyed himself on this one I think
100% agree, the black and white filter was awesome with the billet still in orange
THAT WAS SO SICK!!
Best intro I've seen!
That intro was seriously some of the best camera work I’ve seen in a long time. Great job Jamie!
A really old school video vibe which is great to see! I'm sure it's a lot of work but definitely worth it seeing Alec make some Damascus again and seeing some great videography from Jamie too. Excited to see the rest of this series!
These builds are the reason I am subscribed to this channel. Bring it on!
Dude I’m so happy we’re back to a nice tasty weapon series!! I’m certain Alec wouldn’t agree… but I hope this is like 26 episodes 🤣
A big Chonky weapon series is always a good time
Jamie needs to be nominated for an editing award for that one.
Jamie on FIRE with the editing on this one, good lawd.
Meh. A few years ago it was awesome but now it’s the Same editing style as normal. Show us something innovative.
Omg yes! I thought I was misreading at first and it was just an old video that I’ve already watched numerous times.

We’ve missed this so much and I’m so pumped to see how this turns out! Alec Steele is back!
I know right!!!! Hypetrain
I always like seeing how Alec figures out the engineering of these weapon builds. This is going to be an unique series.
YEEEEESSSSS!!!! A multi part damascus build!!!! Love the editing by the way Jamie. We asked for an old school style video series and you have responded with a plom, thank you!
Old Alec: Frantically cleans Damascus with a grinder for 6 episodes. New Alec : uses a milling machine. They grow up so fast 🤧
Btw Jamie you did a masterpiece of showing the same stuff in a new way. Props !!
Everytime I watch one of your videos I realize that the cinematography is just unreal. The shots at the beginning of the video are amazing
I really don’t understand how even after all the years the bunch of you still manages to make the forging, cutting and welding shots look cooler and cooler each time!
Love the evolution of skills y’all developed over time.
Edit: Oh, and the fooling around. Definitely love to see the fooling around! 😁
Great to see a bit of classic Alec Steele again, this is what we need.
LOVING the return of the over the top blacksmithing scenes. Awesome cinematic shots from Jamie!
I've been watching your videos since the coke Forge and I got to say I think I finally figured out why the vibe is so good.

Love the return to the old video style. Please make more like this one.
So glad we’re back to smithing! Can’t wait to see how this turns out, when it’s done in 20 videos
Missed the bladesmithing series. Good to see an awesome start to a new build
7:45 Alec trying to say "Such" and saying "Zug" instead made all the Germans who watched this video cry
It seems like forever since Alec has made something from Damascus- excited for it. Also, I am interested in seeing how it's wielded.
This is the Alev Steele Videos I have been waiting for, and also that is the best pattern stacking description I have ever seen on any of your videos. Really out of any Damascus making videos I have seen but I have not searched for them.

Jamie: "Alec, how many visual effects do you want?"
Alec: "Bollywood"
Thanks for a new weapon build!!! I love seeing you learning to build tools and other projects but seeing you make an historic or fantasy weapon is my favourite. Great channel Alec!
2:58 automagic. Love the montages Jamie, this was a really really good one! cheers. Oh! don’t forget the hard work :) thank you Mr Steele. Don’t we all love damascus 🎉
finallly!!! a hopefully long build series
Finally a new 26 part projet. Thank you so much, I missed it 😍
Quality camera work and editing Jamie! Loved the nod to your old work with power hammer timing etc but adding new depth still. Keep it up!
Looking forward to seeing how this build progresses! 😀
Hell yeah I am so damn excited about this series already, we've got awesome damascus, we've got a badass weapon, we've got jamie's antics and top notch editing, we've got montages, I can't wait for the next parts!
I love being on the march with my dog. When you're one machine. Centered on the task ahead. Makes the training of the dog and myself rewarding.
Great build can’t wait to see more. Always amazing video when it comes to Alec Steel. The Jamie bit was hilarious! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Crazy how far you guys have come over the years. This video was absolutely amazing. The intro sequence looked like a legit music video, you got jokes, and having a step-by-step explanation of the process is always greatly appreciated.
Hell yes. Another 15 part series!
What an amazing job on this one Jamie. Really cool to see the new videography, music, and editing. It was a fun change of pace and we can tell you put in a good bit of effort.
YAAY knife builds again!
Nice to see you're finally taking decent depths of cut on the mill! Kudos to Jamie, some of the best camera work I've seen in a long time. Looks old school :-) Love it!
Yay, real forging 😁
The video has just started (42 seconds) and i'm completely blown away by the edit Mr. Jamie Popple (hope i'm not wrong with the spelling).
What a great job.
Jamie is seriously so good with these edits. Looking forward to the 14,556 part series
Just want to say this episode is EXTREMELY well filmed, this is one of the best looking and edited episodes Alec! Props to your editor and filmer
Love seeing it guys. Should call that fingerprint damascus.
YESSSS that intro! Love to see it, that's a new favourite bit of cinematography ever. Well done Jamie! and for convincing him to make a guitar!
Amazing editing as always. Whatever you pay Jamie, double it 😂
That chefs knife was by far one of my favorite builds you’ve done.definitely my favorite Damascus pattern. Happy to see your building something similar again.
I really like how every year or so, Jamie and Alec level up the production. The editing on this is pure fire!
Frickn LOVED that intro! Nice job Jamie.
Soooo happy to see a return to forging weapons along with goofy interludes!
This is exciting, glad to see you back at it. This is what we love buddy. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I only wish the videos were a little longer
Soooo sooo happy, it's like the good old days are back! Thank you all at the channel! The dog training is definitely paying off from the looks of it. Although I did wonder if there is much money to be made from it.
Looks like good fun though..
Looking forward to the next installment of the new project, and seeing how the pattern turns out. Stay good! 👍✌🖖
Oh yeah! Multi-part damascus weapon build! Filmed in a nuevo old-school Jamie & Alec style! Love it!
So good to see Alec forge as well as a multi part series. And Jamie got to have fun with the video editing keep it up!
53 seconds in... Sorry Mr Steele commented a few times but Jamie has me hooked at the moment. The editing and videography.... Wow stunning...
Love this kind of metal making.... what brought me to this channel to begin with, just wish we had more of it.
these 600 part series are what made me follow alec. im hes getting back to his roots!
3:51 Harry Damascus and the Whetting Stone
I relly enjoy how not only do the production techniqes improve, how also the forging skill and dad jokes improve.
Keep up the hard work
Alec! Add a tasty coffee making montage within this series to make this series really authentic! Really excited for this build its why I subscribed to you 5 or more years back!
That color grading on initial montage is quality Hollywood level. That's pure art.
Glad to see you’re getting back to what I love about your channel!

Love this video! Feels like we went back 3 or 4 years with those fun bits in between. Missed that energy, it's great.
This video has a lot of old school Alec Steel vibs and Im here for it, the Damascus montage was awesome.
Unlike the concerns you voiced in an earlier video, I can't get enough from seeing you make Damascus, and forging :) It's so nice to see. Please keep it up!
Man I love these laid-back style videos, with some off work banter. Amazing work from both of you
I was just thinking I missed the old forging videos, and Alec puts out a BANGER!!!
Love the intro! Love the purple/orange/oldschool vibe shoot of the powerhammer session! Love the project!
Lets go boys !
Lots of love from The Netherlands ✌️
JAMIE! The editing of that intro was off the chain! Bravo man!
First off amazing job Jamie.
I am super happy to see you doing builds like this again, but I will say that I think a mix between the new type of content and the older loved content would work quite well.
0:55 Well played boys.
It’s about time you are doing a katar!
I’ve been telling you for years!!! 😁
They are so cool. Especially if you look at the ones that opens.
Seeing this come up on my feed brought me so much joy! Can't wait for parts 2-35!
Amazing editing!
Also so glad to see this project. I’ve loved the recent projects, but also happy to see some classic forging! Thanks!
Really been missing the awesome forging shots. Very happy to see the return in this video. Ready for this 52 part series (Now that Will is gone to do all the sanding)
the editing in this video was absolutely incredible, definitely looking forward to the finished product
Really like the "old school" type if videos where you show how you make the damscus etc. love it already
That intro was EPIC!! Well done on the editing Jamie!
Gotta give Jamie credit on this one the edits on the montages were next level and I can’t wait to see how this turns out
Yes! A good old fashioned build series!
Fake
Video edition is on some cosmic level Alec !
Yes It’s forging time with Alec can’t wait to see this beauty finished your skill’s always amaze me i wish I could do this.
Love the damascus forge montage at the start, very stylish, and edited amazingly.
I love the black and white shots with only the orange glowing metal in colour. Very cool, well done
30 seconds in and I'm already sold on watching every second of this series with that beautiful editing
I would love to see a video where Jaime forges and plans the project for the day and Alec films and edits. Would be cool to see the dynamic
I was thinking just the other day that I missed your blade making series and separately that it would be cool if you made a a katar/Qatar. Now here we are. I'm happy.
Alec, definitely show us trying to fix the engraver, the fixing this episodes are my favorite!
30 seconds in and you already earned a like!! So nice to have a slowmo compilation synced to the music!
Jamie, that intro! Lining up with the music and the selective keying of colors.
Just so much win!
Hat's off to you good sir!
I'm sure this has already been said but turn up the heat for those welds or preheat the material a bit to help get a smoother weld . Id recommend running spray for the side welds. but welds hold for there purpose so good job :) love the video ill have to watch all the ones ive missed in between now and when you moved back to the UK.
The opening sequence was amazing! You guys keep stepping up your game. The toilet flush at 3:03 was incredible!
Yes! Alec is back to the weapon builds. Love it.
Love that you are getting back to some good weapon builds
Jesus Jaime…that intro was by far your best yet…that was sick!
woo hoo!!! i love these high montage videos! awesome camerawork and editing Jamie!
The forging montage is trippy to a level that is makes it cool.
Just have to say - that part from 2:30 to 3:20 ish, that is some superb montage filming/editing right there! Daaamn.
