Guys, like if Alec should try and forge Mandalorian Armor, or a Beskad ( mando short sword )
Gavin Burke dunno how he would do that without all that fancy tools (kidding).
Yes, Mando sword/knife please.
@@JP-qg2uq if you actually look into legends, there is so much stuff that Will and Alec can make
@Max Paine doesn't have to be Boba, I was thinking more Kal Skirata and the Nulls, mando armor can have so many modifications to it, not to mention, Jango's and Boba's armor wasn't full Beskar
Beskad. The Welding Geek is doing a great mando armor set already.
I’m sure there are people who would pay good money for something like that as a paperweight.
Robert Lorrison Until Disney sues your ass 😂
I’d drop at least a 100$ RIGHT NOW.
I would!! easy 4-500!!
I’m in for one baby yoda.
I'd frame it and hang it on my wall. The beskar right in the center of a massive white backdrop and a huge gold filigreed frame.
Isn't it illegal to "Forge" money?
Maybe
hahahaha you got me
Not if its fake
@@kailavillavilla8371 he was joking
@@liam5480 ik
I think Adam Savage made a time machine and this is him as a younger kid
Straight outta Meet the Robinsons. Down to the hair and glasses
the landing point got messed up cause he's a Young Brit Adam Savage
I dont think time travel can change your accent lmao
Wrong, no ego with this gent
@@Ladysman_217 have you watched much of Savage’s Tested channel? He’s never given me the feeling of being conceited or anything.
Now Alec needs to make the Mandalorian’s Beskar spear from the new season
And then he has to make the entire armor set
@@donalds4506 YES!
Yeah make more, and then forge it into spear
it would be pretty boring cuz its just a stick lmao
@@phoenix4193 woah woah woah, it’s more than a stick! It’s a… pointy stick.

“We don’t have a CNC but we have a Me-NC” -Alec Steele the genius
Yeah these guys are both ready to be fathers with dad jokes like that.
CRS Firearm When and WHERE?
Alec: Today we are recreating this currency.
Darth Vader: Ive been waiting for you counterfeiter.
"I have you now!"
Darth Vader: *Sees all the weapons hung from the wall, while Alec reaches for the Zweihänder, and Will for the halberd.* “Have a good day...”
@@drummar_boy LOL Alec Better hope that he can find the materials for a nice cortosis steel, for non SW Nerds that's the only material that can resist lightsabers. but this was a hella cool project.
@@kylebernard7755 nope, beskar just do fine too.
Now this is a product that could have smashed the $1000 in 12 hours challenge by a good margin
I never thought I'd see a video where someone done something like this freehand! Too often people do do this with 3d printers and CNC machines. Genuinely enjoyed this!
I can't believe you guys would FORGE money like that.
It is a FORGERY LOL
well, they ARE forgers, right?
Lenni Leem *S U F F E R*
Shame your so on the money 😔
Lenni Leem This comment looks like prophecy now, with the economy of the planet screwed.
Hey: just a friendly reminder that you should make forge doors.
Damascus forge doors!
Hell yea
That was my first suggestion in the form
And clean up the shop👍🏼
👍 bricks.
Makes damascus steel, melts it down into armor ruining the pattern. This is the way.
This is the way
This is the way 😂😂😂
This is the way
takes all integrity and throws it out of the jet pack
This is the way
For as young as the two of you are, you’re extremely well educated on metallurgy. Hats off to you, boys. Well done.
It's cool to see so many people excited about such an old method of metalworking.
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing :D
If you don’t make his helmet I’ll cry
His helmet is like.... Beyond god tier armor smithing. And Alec isn't an armor smith. That we know of.... 👀
Worth a try! Ahaha
@@alexwilson9940 search Mandalorian helmet theweldinggeek, already done and looks amazing!
this guy isn't good enough. If you want to watch a professional do it, check out welding geek
Brock T cry! Brock CRYYYY. YOUR TEARS FUEL ME
Just got to say, great choice on some of the music to the editor. Real Mandalorian vibes :) love that bass
And this is why the Empire never had a counterfeiting problem.
Beskar was not actually used for currency....only since the empire fell and Imperial credits became worthless.
Hey Alec! Just wanted to let you know my buddy who has been watching you since nearly the beginning has recently found a magazine you're on at his work in Detroit at a welding gas company. Congrats on that and keep it up!
"we don't have a CNC, we have a Me-NC" lmfao 😂😆🤣🤣🤣
Only ppl who have spent time around machines like that get it
"We're going to hog so much stuff you'll think we're roasting a pig"
Only one response to that -
Noice. 👍
I just happened to read this comment rights as he was saying it, and let me tell you - a magical moment it was.
Brody Kaiser that just happened to me 🤔
It was great
Oh man, Disney is likely to copyright claim this the moment they see it. Here's hoping they don't notice it.
@John Chrysostom You have to declare whether you're being sponsored. Because it'd be rather illegal not to.
@@uiomancannot7931 you don't have to state it in the video
@@lEGOBOT2565 According to RUclipss terms of service, you do.
@@oneplumpboi5317 as long as It's stated in the description or the video, they don't care
they cant he made the prop,
Damascus steel is basically the croissant of forging.
Why am i laughing at this?
Mortal Wombat because it’s true
actually it’s more like filo steel....
Croissants are over rated, they take a tonne of time, and ultimately full of hot air and unsatisfying.
Metal puff pastry
Sometimes I get a notification from a subscription and I go to click on it but Alec’s enthusiasm always makes me want to stay on this video
U look like the main kid from the animated movie Meet the Robinsons with the dinosaur that says "i have a big head and little arms"
That’s the first thing I thought.
Hahahaa!!!!
All grown up and shiz
No he’s Stuart’s older brother
@@Zulfburht Stuart's Little ?
Bro, we still want to see a Damascus snow shovel! Be a great leaning project for making armor later!
hes going to need it soon too
@@coreytaylor447 The zombie apocalypse is coming?
@@Temp0raryName no, he lives in Montana and snow is a thing.
Damascus snow blower blades? 🧐
This is getting on trending for sure
When it is so much easier to make the punch, that would stamp the inverted logo. You could have made that one and then make another punch with the first punch.
big brain
Or just carved in the logo instead of punching it.
@@Nogard666 That kinda defeats the purpose of the punch though
Yes it does. Also keeps the piece from distorting under the press, and there would not be a tool sitting somewhere taking up space to be forgotten or even destroyed to make something else. He was in a hurry, so it would have been a lot less time to carve the symbol before hardening the billet.
@@Nogard666 But the purpose of the punch is to add detail to the piece that is hard to reproduce without the punch but very easy when you have it. It just seems to me like carving out the shape directly on to the piece would be cheating, like how you could also just print on the Damascus pattern, but what would be the point?
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.
Payment of 1 beskar is 1 beskar i have spoken
as a fulltime potter i love how in the end, Alec had to just freehand the imperial emblem punch with a hand tool. i find myself getting crazy orders that i'd love to have a stamp or something for but most of the time i just end up just carving a mug with a stick lol
Save time when drawing the imperial logo in Fusion 360:
-Find SVG vector file of imperial logo on the internet somewhere (it's got to be out there somewhere, if not find PNG and convert).
-Import SVG file into new drawing
-Size drawing appropriately
-Print, stick, and hog away.
I do this whenever I'm putting logos and artwork into my 3D printed stuff and it saves hours of time and frustration when things don't look quite right.
Well if were making beskar steel, does that mean an armor series is in the works
At his rate it would be a year long series
Alec is the richest man in the Star wars universe by far.
No the Creepy Empire dude with a flask of the stuff is
No, man. They're forgeries.
I've come back to say thank you Alec. This is the video that hooked me to your Channel and Blacksmithing in general. Thanks for your awesome content.
I really enjoyed this video. I am only moderately interested in metallurgy, so I wanted you to know you made this both educational and entertaining!
Watch out for those Disney lawyers, they'll send the mouse after you.
Next video will be Alec and Will in a heap on the floor with Mickey Mouse walking out the door
Actually Disney is fairly chill with stuff like this. He’s more likely to get Faveru to show up and do a guest spot and end up with a cameo in season 2
They cant touch him for making it but if he tries to sell them well then...
Ahh, but he is getting paid by making the video of it. Maybe he's got an in with Disney through Colin Furze. Next will be forging stuff bought off Ebay.
@@CalgaryViking That makes no difference. As long as he doesn't try to sell the object. He can cast Mickey Mouse himself in damascus and they cant do anything
I would give a genuine USD 1 dollar bill to see his wife's face when she sees the light saber bit...
That would probably be pretty funny.
What makes you think Alec off camera isn't 100x weirder than Alec on camera?
That is absolutely gorgeous (ok ngl I skipped to the end cuz I was so excited)
Shame
@@JohnKing-ye7tj lol don't worry, I went back and rewatched the whole thing, but I wrote that comment like 3 minutes after the video was posted and wanted to see the end result first 😂
That’s awesome you know about LEAN. I first learned about it in the military and hope to set up a shop in the future using said practices. 🤙
Brother!!! When I saw the Beskar Steel I literally thought to myself, Alec could make this. Beautiful Damascus steel.
When are the Alec Steele "Damascus Ingots" going to be available on your website? (edit) The more I think about it, you could have Will's Dinosaur Damascus ingots for sale too. A whole series of ingots, that would be cool....
Honestly I would love to see the Damascus British and American flag billets for sale or the belt buckles up on the site. Alec! Get on it! Lol
Parents: Now remember kids, don’t play with fire
Alec: YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
is called inustriual school i was at a forge at 13 years old
@@sebastianzunda7762 r/iamverybadass
I just got this in my recommended and once again youtube... YOU DO NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!
Wait, so if this is ‘just ornamental’, are all the swords and sharp objects he’s made over the years not? Is Alec secretly a Greek demigod who forges everyone’s weapons?
thank you so much alec you are a true inspiration and the reason i'm becoming a black/blade smith
As soon as I've seen the Beskar ingot, I screamed in my mind "DAMASCUS!" and have been wondering if Alec is going to make one.
how can this man get the symbol completely wrong
TBF, if you look at it, it looks like the symbol for the Sith Empire of Vitiate in the Old Republic era... So... it’s outdated currency for an Empire that no longer exists? XD
Not copyright infringement.
The Stormtrooper outfit is a good example. Guy makes and sells them, Lucasfilm tried to stop him and FAILED.
Yea I was like uhhhhh is no one going to tell him it’s completely off? Guess not. Lol
@@darthbuzz1 OR I dunno, the "Mystery bucket"
I would love to see you guys make a knights armor, you can use both your blacksmith skills and textile skills, perhaps made of damascus, it sure would be one of a kind armor
Can't really make armor out of Damascus
Correct ref Knights Armour, Damascus may be too rigid and fragile. It would make just mouthwateringly cool scale-mail.
@@petracoresage8288 either way it would be more ornamental than anything. Kind of like those anime swords people buy, not of them are not only full but made out of materials that wont hold an edge. And that's ignoring the fact that they are going to break the first time you think of fighting with one.
So could you make Damascus armor? Probably, it might be more difficult. But you could do it with the right equipment.
As far as it being to fragile. They made many things out of Damascus that many people forget about. Not only were there swords, knives and axes. There was a time when gun barrels were a type of Damascus.
Its good of you to let the foundling help in the forging process.
Their shop is amazing. Owning one like this is a bucket list item.
I was waiting for the episode, after I seen the blank in the show I said When’s Alec making this??
Same here!
Should we tell him there are much more clearer images of the imperial logo online?
gotta say i was a bit disappointed at how his logo came out.
@@lukewithann7256 Not quite the same, I suspect he did it on purpose.
Arthur Vieira keepin the Disney bounty hunters off his back.
It looked more like a flower to me.
Victor Orozco agree. Nice Japanese Imperial chrysanthemum stamp though!
After all that work on the stamp and you left out the center circle.
Left out the centre circle... and left in some unnecessary circles at the end of each spoke!
I winced so hard when I saw those mistakes that i dropped my phone...
Think about the mistakes he made where they mistakes or by Design you got to understand when it comes to copying something and getting sued for it if you copy something but it's different just enough they can't do anything but if you made it exactly they would sue him literally
@@greenwolf2894 that’s really not true. It’s not like he’s selling it. There are no laws about just making someone’s logo, it’s not even a main logo from the show. It’s probably not even copyrighted, but even if it was, this would be completely fine. It’s not illegal to just like draw a McDonald logo... gg
@@boarbot7829 no but this is RUclips and if Disney decided he used too much of their show on his video they could copyright strike it. Now there are many things that fall within fair use however trademarked insignias however especially if he was producing one without their permission would be a different story
The lighting effect that the welding torch has on the camera gets me every time
Should have tried Acid etching for the logo. a few sessions you'd get the effect deep enough, just need to make sure the solution you use can eat both types of metal.
You missed a ridge ring in the outside edge of the imperial punch/stamp
And the hexagon inner circle, he basically made it a flower lol
Its hard to forge currency : )
Theoretically couldn't Alec have just create the punch negative and then cast it like they did for the cavalry saber?
It would have had to be softer steel so it wouldn’t make a good punch
At least to the best of my knowledge. I’m no expert so feel free to tell me I’m wrong
@@TCool-in2to cast a harder steel then?
@@Gwynbleiddsanity lol if you can cast a steel hard enough to make a punch then you wouldn't be on youtube, you'd be getting hundreds of awards
@@MikfinityPog you can case harden it
Scoundrel: Hey Mandolorian, you alright!?
Mando: Yeah, that blaster shot hit me in the Beskar.
Scroundrel: Awe, oh wait I don't wear any Beskar. 0.0
In regards to the Punch did you consider making the the opposite that would have been easy and then making a mould from it and casting a punch?
i just love this channel. the cinematography is excellent, and Alec, you are brilliant on the other end of the lens.
The only problem with dating a milling machine, is you know you'll be turned down everytime.
This pun is underrated
Sounds like a ToT joke...
Try climb cutting and you’ll get smacked.
Almost good. You don't turn anything on a milling machine. You turn on a lathe.
Yes thank you I needed this video. I don't have a forge yet so I can't start this.
All the best when you do
Would be super cool to see you collaborate with another channel to get a stamp of your own made and you could build small billets of Damascus patterns and stamp them and sell them.
That is awesome, well done Alec.
This was amazing. Nice work, Alec!
if you sent the MANDALORIAN BESKAR STEEL to adam savage he would LOVE it !
Did you find a time machine and get delivery of some ore from a long long time ago?
In a galaxy far far away!
All iron ore is from a long long time ago XD
He would have, but the shipping would have been greater than the planetary GDP. (You know how freight companies charge!)
So now you're a counterfeiter, pretty sweet.
For future reference You can easily make punches by stencilng the material you want dissolved and elctroetch it around 20 volts
Alec can you do a video on Induction forging (maybe VS traditional fire forging)
Alec and Will should have a head 2 head making lightsaber hilts(obviously can't make an energy beam). just the hilts, They each pick an existing lightsaber in the SW universe and whoever makes the best hilt wins! what do you guys think?
Am i the only one, who noticed the "star- wars-like" animation or swipes between shots?
Here's a question I'd love an answer to:
When forge welding pieces together, I see that you surface grind the touching faces, ensuring you got a flat contact surface ... now I'm wondering, would the weld not be much stronger if when surface grinding, you took it down to 1000 or 3000 grit ? As it would then be so perfect of a flat surface that there's "a perfect void with no air" ???
It's more about having pure steel and no oxide. Iron oxide will not forge weld and you end up with cracks and inclusions.
I'm a mold maker / designer by trade. We use Silly Putty to make quick impressions to check our work, especially to inspect engraving to see if we missed anything, You would be surprised how often someone forgets to dot an 'i' when engraving. (less now that we CNC everything.)
Minus trying to do the punch in 1 step, it looks like you could cut a socket in half (for a straight edge) and then just create a seperate centre punch for the other pattern.
why does he looks like young Rick Astley i feel like his gonn rick roll us oneday
CNC: Computer Numericly Controlled
MeNC: Me Numericly Controlled
*numerically
Well, yes. Because you are reading the numbers on the wheels to know where your cutting tip is, _you_ are controlled by the numbers!
Scaled up and duplicated, that'd make a nice set of forge doors....
I guess it was all them old farts I heard bout as a kid and believed that the art of making Damascus steel was lost and couldn’t be recreated but the work you boys do is on another level! Got my first Damascus buck skinner when I was about 12 and been hooked ever since. Thank you keeping the art alive and new!
Not quite. This is European Damascus steel replica. The original oriental Damascus steel is different and it’s unknown how it was made. Most likely you had a big clay crucible with iron at the bottom under a layer of sand. Above was coal and iron stacked. The whole thing was put over a fire and as the iron melted it dripped down and took the carbon from the coal with it. The sand melted and formed a molten glass puddle above the iron, where iron could go through, because it was heavier, but the coal stayed above. So the high carbon iron came from the top and mixed with the low carbon iron from the bottom and that produced the pattern. The European version is just a lot easier and quicker and more reliable. Not as hard tho and more as a decoration than as an actual weapons material.
Alec, your videos are SO incredibly awesome and inspiring! Thought of you when I saw Damascus steel used as a "weapon skin" for the new video game Borderlands 3! Also, this video hits home for me as I am a HUGE Starwars fan. Keep the awesome coming friend!
Make the full mandalorian armor ts like a long series for u and content ;)
Mandalorian just sounds like they mixed
a Delorean with a Mandarin.
Ryan StonedOnCanadianGaming niiiiiiice
Looks like he left the mark purposely different to keep from copyright infringement from the evil mouse
That would be trademark infringement. There is a difference.
Regardless he talked about doing it and then didn't. If he was worried about copyright infringement why not say that's the reason or why even attempt to build it?! Why then does jaimie from mythbusters make exact replicas on RUclips? Ex: chewbacca's ammo belt and gun, or c3po's entire body exactly replicated amoung other builders and cosplayers on RUclips? You guys don't know 😂. Unless you're a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property maybe pipe down YOU don't know why HE did it
@@crazestyle83 Exactly, I don't know. It was just my observation/opinion.
@@amccoy6055 Ok, thanks for the correction.
You should make a ton of these, sew the under suit and stuff, then melt it to make the armor, how cool would it be to think that your armor was made from imperial beskar ingots, just that little detail I feel would make the armor even more special
The Beskar steel might be Damascus (or even just layered), but the first thing they do when making armor out of it is MELT it, so, so much for that.
*swings blowtorch around like a lightsaber*
I- I don't think that's a good idea-
Hell what a better person to have some "Beskar Steel" than ol' Jimbob here...
No offense but you look like that kid from the Robinsons
KEVIN 1986 LMFAO
Ha ha! So right! :D
THATS WHAT I WAS THINK THANK GOD SOMEONE SAID IT
hey he could look like Urkle and still be cooler than most of us. FR
You now have a new subscriber this was amazing.
I love old trades like this
Alec you can build cnc's that use 3pd printing software for fairly cheap you need one!
Quick question: when is Jamie going to visit you??
Literally asked that a year ago 🤣🤣🤣 a one day build star wars armor series has to happen!!!
Soon... flights are booked!
Now you should forge a piece of the mandolorians armor with you besker block.
You didn't say it's fantastic to have us here. Everything ok Alec? 😓
Alec is a hostage confirmed.
Timothy Perkins I blame Disney!
Look at the morse code in his blinking @ 4:12 "SAVE ME'
He said it was phenomenal to have us here last time so it’s ok
Mount up, boys. We're going on a rescue mission.
Bing from Wyoming I enjoy seeing my state flag in your shop. Go pokes!
Just a heads up, beskar is an iron not a steel. Its incredibly dense and extremely heat resistant
I think you made an imperial phone for the storm troopers
You must forge Mandalorian armor. This is the way.
This is the way.
@@ggcpres i have spoken
umm beskar is not a currency it's just expensive as hell
James Gryffindor it can be used as currency. It’s like gold in are world, you don’t buy car with gold but you can convert it into a large amount of money (credits).
@@rottenpotato9290 yeah that's what I said
@John Chrysostom why?
Don't u see this is a nerd converation?
