Alec Steele Blacksmith 2019
Please tell me you'll be adding wheels and a 2"x72" sanding belt off the side of this thing.
personally i think it should power the powerhammer
at least a 3" belt to get some more working area to slide work side to side to keep sharp without wearing a spot on the belt
This. Absolutely this, although one dogpower might not be sufficient to grind steel
@@TheMegaross91 horses produce more than 1 hp on average, i bet you crazy makes way more than 1 dogpower haha
@@TheMegaross91 gears can make it possible
I love how when he was measuring her she was just standing there with cardboard in her mouth lol.
If you've seen her previous appearances on the show, you'd know that Crazy is crazy for all things cardboard.
Postal packages beware...
What's so cool about that? I don't understand.
Hey Alec you should collaborate with the HoofGP and try your hand at making a hook knife. 👍
Yes I think that'd be a great idea
That would be awesome! Good idea
It can be made out of Damascus
Yes indeed.
Those are illegal I'm some areas
Alec: "Ehhh, I don't want to bother with putting on the four-jaw chuck."
Also Alec: _fabricates parts to hold his piece in the three-jaw_
Alec: “May become one of my most accurate fabricating projects to date!”
Says the guy who, not too long ago made a mountain bike from scratch…
Yeah, I forgot about that 😅😅
Pretty sure Alec's about to become a dad, because dad jokes like those don't come from nowhere!
Your name tells me Skandinavien danish? And if halløj
New house new baby......so the saying goes.
That’s true, when I became an uncle the uncle jokes came up
to be fair, Alec has used Dad Jokes off and on, but you have a point, his dad jokes are improving
@@tomclarkson6078 better than New House New Spouse, although they havent been married that long so new-ish LOL
Well at least if there's any dog that won't be immediately scared off by the noise of the treadmill it's going to be one that lives in a metal fabrication shop!
I'm intrigued to know if either of them will run on it.
Malinois have no fear.
Alec is the probably the best civilian Belgian Malinois owner I've ever seen, they are NOT easy dogs to have as pets. Nothing against them, but as Alec said, they're high drive working dogs with a ton of energy. Side note: Crazy is an absolutely gorgeous dog. Well done, Alec, I love that you're making something for Crazy!
-a veterinary technician and dog trainer, I work with my local municipal police department's K9 unit in a veterinary technician capacity so I know Mals and GSDs, and I'm very impressed.
You should see some mals I know I would say they are similar to border collies in drive just way smarter
@@BadlydrawnBen 100% agree. Border Collies are unbelievably intelligent, but Mals are scary smart.
@@cleverusername9369 that is what I'm saying 👍 I'm rather envious of my friends Mal it can get beer out of the fridge or cool box 😳 most the Mal owners I know chose them because the German shepherd breed has been completely ruined
Maligator! 😬
Alec is a high drive person so such a dog suits him very well.
Jamie has outdone himself in this one, the sync and the pitch on the center punch and the welds. OMG. AWESOME
I really like that one of the top comments on most of Alec’s videos is about an appreciation of Jamie’s craft, Alec does an amazing job in front of the camera but the fact people enjoy Jamie’s work too is heart warming.
I know. That editing made me chuckle.
It would be great to see a video on Jamie editing a video! 🎶
@@saginawdan he did actually do a live stream ages ago and posted it to YT. I don’t have a link but I’m sure you’ll find it
There's an absolute stonker of an edit done by Jamie. Track down the video where Will made a knife in his garage early lockdown. From memory I think I was a Damascus video. But yeah, so so good
i hope people appreciated the Wheeley and Pulley puns, so elegantly mixed in at 4:50
I taught my dog to run on the treadmill when it was too cold to go outside. One night I'm putting in some miles on the treadmill and he decides he's joining me. I ended up on my ass and he had a nice run lol
Hey Alek, quick tip with cutting nylon one of my mentors taught me a way back: use HSS instead of carbide. preferably a duller/radiused bit. just manage the heat and it'll be cutting much smoother
A more radiused tool sounds like a good idea. Wouldn’t it be good to keep it sharp because the nylon is soft?
@@MawoDuffer yeah as a hole sharper the tool is better least what I was told
@@greevsy01 I don't agree with that. Rule of thumb as softer the material duller the cutting tool. Dull=blunt=radiused . Hence why you have to "manage the heat" because a dull cutting tool will cause a lot or friction. This is not exactly the same but think about side clearance and rake angles when cutting aluminium or copper compared to cutting something a lot harder like stainless steel.
@@haydnupfold73 @Wayne Beck. Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen... using your own method to get to a finished (respectable looking) usable part is no need to squabble over semantics. When tooling polys or any light weight (non-combustible or volatile) just break out the high power shop vac. 5k miles of nylon string in a 5 gallon bucket.
@@PC-vu6nz That.. Is genius
It's always good practice to take the chuck tool out of the lathe. If you were worried about the wheel coming out of the lathe you could have used the live center for the extra security. Keep up the good work I love the content!
since there's a bearing in there you might get away with a dead centre
@@jonathanshaw6784 You're totally right. Either would have been sufficient!
would have gotten a steel rule across his palms where I work😂 Seeing Alec scared of the spinning wheel really makes me appreciate my larger work more
A dog will always love you no matter what. As Alec is ready to part with a few thousand dollars of material, parts and man-hours, I believe that this dog is equally loved in return, no matter what. Thank you for sharing both the build and the testimony to this wonderful friendship.
I’ve seen how this plays out in Rick and Morty. Soon enough your dog will find a way to create power for itself.
Hey congratz Alec, at 6:43 you just made yourself some yards of nylon fishing line! Go catch some food with that!
Alec definitely has a favourite when it comes to his dogs.
The wheel-puns had me laughing out loud haha 🤣
you mean they had you lol?
@@stormwallwarrior6095 Exactly 😄
@@gf1829 Yeah, he was certainly on a roll there with the puns!
I wheelie enjoyed them too!
Not me...I got tired of them.
7:21 the time Alec was thrown a surprise bukkake party. You should have seen his face. Everybody came
Alec, this is the stuff right here!!!! I feel a golden era for the channel with the awesome stuff you've been doing lately!
So so so so so happy to hear that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your editing and use of music soundtracks is still one the very best on RUclips! Your work is interesting and gorgeous too, but I just wanted to say that
So cool. Really admire what you've done Alec. Love watching your stuff.
As a dog trainer with a Mali I love what you are doing for your dog! Keep up the good work!!
As someone who used to do plastic machining, use a shop vac to deal with the strings
I have this breed and I think this will be PERFECT! Well mine will only be a treadmill not a treadmill generator. Thank you for sharing it!
Jamie, your editing is SUPREME! 💚💚💚
If someone made this video out context it would just be "clipidy clopidy clip"
A friend of mine had an idea for a doggy treadmill years ago and I laughed at him. He also thought about having various scents blown at the dog’s face for their enjoyment.
Now I’ve got egg on my face.
you were right to laugh at him. Leashing your dog into a treadmill is the PEAK of human laziness and lack of proper care for your animal companion. No debate.
I just.... 'sigh'... Jamie. You are an artist. Minute 9 was just... Chef's Kiss.
I love the editing on this one great job!! favorite part: 9:03
Pure poetry
“Now this is about to get wheely interesting.
I’d you aren’t following me, let me pulley you in the right direction.” -Alec Steel…

He totally would have done everything in one video had the springs not been wrong lol
Hello friends 👋
I'd love to see some friction drilling in your thiner tube steel. It's such a cool process to watch
8:10 This was the point where I rolled on floor laughting
"All my problems in life can be solved by buying things and receiving them..." Ooof, wasn't looking for a personal callout there Alec
You should look into thermal friction drill bits. It would've made more threads when you put the wheels in.
“I don’t think we’re trying to commit rocket surgery here.” That’s my favorite quote.
About to say the same thing
I haven't seen any hammering yet... And im starting to get anxious. You better BLACKSMITH SSOMETHING
Im dissapointed.... Really dissapointed 😤 😭💔
Rocket surgery 😀
We have 3 of those dogs, active I mean, which wear themselves out, kind of. Somehow running around all day with each other, still leaves them with more energy then I could ever have at the end of the day. Lab and GSD just don't stop.
Alec, while the runout you ended up with on the nylon wheels is probably fine for a dog treadmill, another method you could have used to turn them down would be to mount them in the lathe on an axle using the installed bearings. That way, the turned edge of the wheel would be concentric with the axle and bearings. You would need to use a lathe dog (or similar) however to keep the wheel rotating with the axle instead of spinning on the bearings.
The montage at 9:00 reminds me of baby driver and how they synced the movie with the music
Dog Gone! To stop a belt pulling off a pulley, dome it's running surface to the middle, might appear counter-intuative but the tighter centre continues to pull it back to true. Just ask an old steam shop engineer
Came here to say the same thing.
Thank you for the comment - what do you think about the effect of needing to straddle a belt between two convex pulleys would have? My worry is it wouldn’t be able to self centerr on the convex wheel as it’s on the edge of the belt not the center?
@@AlecSteele I'm not sure how running a belt on 2 convex pulleys would work, to be honest.
Your current set-up should work, but will require both axles to be exactly parallel to each other and perpendicular to the frame. No pressure!
It might be worth designing something into the build where you can adjust the axles fore and aft to compensate for any run-out on the belt.
@@AlecSteele I don't think straddling a full belt with only pulleys on the outside edge, especially with a dog-sized load on-top of said belt will work whatever the shape of the running surface now I think about what you're attempting to do with the trolley wheels... But I'll wait to watch your build, I'm sure you'll figure out how a treadmill works lol
Great editing on the sound to image with sound front
I love how this channel has gone from tongs to swords to a doggie treadmill
For sure, 1/2" HSS bar, big chipbreaker in the topside, lots of rake top front and side and a radiussed tip. Run it through a couple of cuts on some scrap ally or nudge it with some 2000 grit to just take the fine edge off it so it doesn't bite the nylon.
Certainly got more than enough grinding equipment to make a good go of homemade tooling.
Or just get some cheap tips made for ally. That works too. Not great, but better than the nubby little rake on those tips!
The right feed is tricky. You keep pushing it harder and harder, then it'll suddenly get easier and may start chipping if tool geometry is spot on. That is the perfect feed. Unfortunately, a teeny bit harder than perfect it'll chirp, then bite, then either stall the machine, break the tool or launch itself across the workshop...
Fun stuff.
If you want the worst stuff, either small items in Macor, or anything remotely precise in PTFE.
Or any quantity of annealed pure copper...
Can we take a moment to address the fact that THERE ARE ZERO GOOGLY EYES ON ANY POWER HAMMERS

My god you have a fantastic editor syncing everything up to the music
I was just about to post the exact same thing. And this is far from the first time he's done it.
Thanks for the recognition alec
What happened to the golden lab ???.
Nothing - she usually spends the day with Mrs Steele while I'm at work with this dog!
7:12 I did not know y'all had hired spiderman for visual effects on the lathe!
I too have an insane German shepherd.
Is she a German shepherd or a Belgian malinois? Crazy, either way...
Your editor is a genius
Alec! Stop and start the power feed when you're cutting nylon to avoid the swarf getting so long
Was gonna mention that. Although with the volume of material he needs to remove it was always going to be a hassle
This is one of the coolest builds in a long time. I am eager to see the next phase!
this is gonna be an interesting one
That editing is so good, great stuff Alec.
I am not sure what this video is gonna be but I am sure that it will be 😊
The best cameraman in the world is back lady’s and gentlemen
I miss yogo
You got some great dad jokes Alex 😂😂
Perfect 🇧🇷
Wow keep up the good work 🙏🏻😁
Thats awesome work, like your good self Alec, my wife and I have a 9 month old labradoodle puppy, and he loves to run, we are always down at the dog park letting him go nuts 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
excuse me, would this not be the perfect project to do with someone who can actually do engineering, like furze
That’s a nice shop!
who came from the tiktok comment 😭
I am getting flashbacks to working in a packaging department I worked at once.
So you mentioned in your other videos about things people suggest you to make. I have these padlocks from Iran that my grandpa brought back somewhere between the 1970's-1990's and that are an incredible engineering feat and they are forged from pieces of steel. I had never seen one until my grandpa showed them to me. I own them now since he passed but I've always been so curious how they would have been made. It's hard to explain exactly but I'd love to send you videos of them so you could give it a shot replicating them.
Crazy is beautiful. Your puns are brilliant. :)
I love turning nylon, full ham on the speed :D
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates ~ 🎈
This is the first video I've watched from this guy and he reminds me of Lewis Robinson
I would almost pay money for an uncensored blooper reel of Alec cursing.
4:35 don't think you got away with those puns Alec, dont for a second. Those were awful and I want everyone to know.
Ok I may have laughed a bit
It's nice to see you enjoying your projects again. For a bit there you looked like you were forcing youself to work on a project.
Glad to see the old Alec back.
Thanks Isaak! Very hard to find the balance of what are the motivating projects for me and hopefully what suits the majority of viewers! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks Alec. Can't wait for part two. 👍😁
Grab a “flow drill bit” next time to increase the tread count when taping directly into tubing.
Did anyone catch im bout to pulley you into the right direct that joke was almost Un bearing able 😂
So weird that I was thinking of a way to make a doggy treadmill for my pups!
As always a great video. Good luck in 2022
Alec, what a beautiful pup! You should reach out to Chewy for sponsorship of any future furry friend related videos. Great company, great RUclips channel, a perfect match!
To keep it from warping out of square, weld the opposite vertical inside corners first. This also gives you an opportunity to double and triple check and maybe make a fine adjustment before locking it in by welding the horizontals (again, alternating welding opposite corners). Using gussets helps, weld them first.
I genuinely need some new cans so im actually gunna use your sponsor.
If you are looking for a *easy suspension solution* :
look up *FT17* ww1 tank
tank tracks a very similar to what you are looking for
lots of innovation and thought goes into tank design
7:30
This is my kingdom COMe
If you mill a few slots close to finish size in the nylon-to create a chip brake every rotation or more often- you won’t have such a birds nest!
omg i love this project
Take a good frame I tak the frame to my bench and grind it off after comes out mm perfect every time
I love your videos!
You could’ve made a mandrel to help keep the wheel bearings shoved into the lathe but still kept the jaw extensions you made. That’s probably how I would’ve done it.
Haha Alex got hit in the face with white stuff 🤣
I'm going to have a guess that there will be more energy made than is needed for a single LED. 😋👍
Cant wait to see the first dog-ground knife
How dare you get me invested in something without delivering the whole thing LOL. I hate it when I watch a video on day 1 when it's a multi-parter.
Little tipp for machining Nylon:
Try to make deep cuts, the heavier chips will fall down more easier than with light chips, and if you do the last cut, you could try to stop the feed rate for a short while and turn it on again(or turn the handwheel) so that you wont have as much of the long chips that could get sucked up in the chucks.
Or you could play around with the cutting tool, by grinding a more steep and sharp edge. that could help you aswell.
Dont forget to speed up your feed rate. The faster you feed, the further the chips fly away from the axis. So those long chips will have a harder time getting sucked in to the chuck.
Another tip is to use another chuck (if possible). A three jawed chuck is a bit suboptimal for cutting Nylon, you should use a collet chuck with a shaft and a screw, the fewer things you have that could suck in those chips,
the easier it will be for you to machine it ;)
Thank you so much for the advice!
@@AlecSteele @Alec Steele No problem :)
But i forgot to tell you about the danger of grinding a sharper edge / steeper cutting angle, if you take a deeper cut, you increase the force of pulling in, the material towarts the cutting edge, that means, if you dont counteract this force with a life center, there is a good chance, that your workpice, could get wripped out.
Listen carefully to the sound of the cut, if it starts to vibrate, stop your feed and pull back.
I've just wanted to make a disclaimer* :)
I like you dog. I think you named her well :)
Hi Alec, I wondered if you could give us an update on what you think of the Ryobi tools. I’ve been using Ryobi for several years now and have no complaints but I don’t use them on the same level you do and I am curious what you think. When you got them you said you were trying them out to save some money and I want to know if you think the saving is worth it.
Great idea! Overall I love them! I smile every time I use one of those cheap green machines EXCEPT the circular saw - it sucks - the blade barely gets through a 2x4 and it is underpowered
@@AlecSteele interesting, I have the circular saw and I used it to cut my kitchen counter to size and it cut through that brilliantly. Still I think they have about 4 different ones so we might not have the same model. Thanks for the update.
