Ok but can you make a hammer into a really big nail
Edit: by hand for maximised pain
This is the question we all need answered!
@@prestonduren yes true I hope..
Gary Smith lol! I’m actually basically doing that for a forging demo today! Not from hammers but 2 inch round stock. And all by hand!
which came first? The hammer or the nail?...I say the nail, because heads were beat in long before nails were invented....
i have a better idea use these hammers to make a nail out of a hammer
Make a sword from the springs of clicky pens.
I freaking died from this comment 😂
@@gabeitches3022 not what they mean when they say the pen is mightier than the sword
@@gabeitches3022 nah fam they gotta make it into a metal straw for the turtles
It would millions of pens spring.
Cruel and unusual punishment. However interesting & hard enough for this channel haha
This seems like something an npc in a apocalyptic game would do.
“Fetch me 10,000 nails and I’ll make you a hammer”
Fallout scrap craft intensifies
Oef
Borderlands psycho attacking you "GIVE ME 10,00 NAILS, I'LL SHOW YOU A HAMMER"
Lol, very Fallout like.
@@AttilaThebung thats a pretty cool line for an unarmed brawler if you tweak it a bit; "SHOW ME 10,000 NAILS AND I'LL SHOW YOU A HAMMER!"
I'm stealing that for my... book? Manga? Something. I haven't decided what it will be yet.
It'll be about a dude that knows a little bit of kickboxing and drove a big rig truck until one day he, a train driver(female), and an airline pilot(female) flying a jumbo jet all almost crash into a young wizard(male) that interdimensionally teleported into the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time. They all get teleported back to the wizard's universe, where the crash finally takes place. The wizard using magic manages to protects the train driver and pilot, but the truck driver's body is completely wrecked. So the wizard gets a gnomish artificer (female) to use the remains of the truck to turn the truck driver into a living set of armor. Its later revealed that the wizard was a noble that used the last of his inheritance to buy a magical object that would send him to the other universe and was destroyed in the crash, the existence of which he was told by his grandfather, where he planned to get a bunch of technology and high grade optical equipment to take back to his universe and make even more money. So now, the train driver; who can now manifest two small "spirit trains", the pilot; who eventually finds a tiny dragon, the truck driver; that can now channel ki into his fists, the wizard; now completely broke and owing the first three a lot of favors but still having "connections", and the artificer who is tagging along because the wizard now owes her a lot of money, all have to make a lot of money so that they can get another interdimensional teleporter and go home.
I'm currently writing a different book so this one and few others I've had to set on the back burner for now, but I've still got about 60 years left to write them all. :P
other people: use this for a hammer
alec: STEEL IS STEEL
ProbablyCheating IV I’m dead lad
I like the format, it's kinda like Steele vs. Stelter but more chill.
Agreed. The artificial time limit is just annoying. It's fun to see them mock each other but also cooperate.
*Blocks store logo*
*Shows same logo on buckets*
Bold of you to assume it's the same logo
Yeah, but did they use hammers mad by hammers to make that logo. Food for thought
That's how they get you
.
Danny Garcia lol it was ace hardware
I guess this goes with Adam Savages "Every Tool's a Hammer" book
Andrew Jones it goes along with Adam savages “every tool is a hammer” book hammer
Ha yeh
Every thing is a weapon in the right hands
Big fact
Don't use a screw gun battery as a hammer..
I think we need to talk about the fact that Will’s welding mask has “welder? I hardly know her!” Written on it?
Totally missed that, now I gotta look!
Wow u got 69 likes I want to like this one bt I can't
You should have mixed different brands of nails. It's unlikely the same grade of steel is used by all nail manufacturers, so you could have made Nailmascus!
it is mild steel. Tried quenching few in a brine without a success. He could have case-hardened his batch once it already was in a case. It wouldnt be so boring
Love the ACE plug being blurred out. You guys are hilarious. They will sponsor you soon!😂
Except they walk out with a big bucket with ACE in red XD
@@r3nmgod a little taste of ad placement for ACE... all that is!
I'm out of the loop on this? Why did they blur it out?
@@jck0 They did get your attention did they not?
Paul Simon: I'd rather be the hammer than the nail
These guys: You can have it both ways!

Nails: "I am your father!"
Nail Hammer: " NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
Why have I never noticed the giant googly eyes on the power hammer before. Damn that's funny!!
I was asking myself the same question.
I don't think they have been on there for to long. I noticed them just a few weeks ago.
Been there for a few months. I first saw them around the time of the cavalry saber build.
Piqued my curiosity. The eyes first appear in the stiletto build part 1.
@@ivanheffner2587 So about 2 months. Not to bad that we didn't all notice then. The power hammer hasn't exactly been featured much lately.
To Alec: As my wedding was last month, let me share a few words of wisdom given to us from those married for 50+ years. "Listen to each others needs, & patience when mistakes are made." Good luck on the planning aspects of your wedding day. Let me throw in some personal advice. The weddings of the modern day are crazy expensive for needless reasons. You can make a wedding work well without a wedding planner. We did and it was fantastic. Both of you working together on seeking out your needs then wants for the wedding is a very rewarding experience. I hope you both have a great adventure together. Also a great idea I had for mine but could not do it, but I know you can.
There is a type of ceremony you can do during the wedding called the Sand Ceremony. You can do this with iron sand After you mix the sands together bring it home and make ether some bloomsteel, or canister Damascus, as a decoration or make a kitchen knife out of it or whatever. Just have fun with it together!
Also apparently I’ve heard for getting things like food don’t say it’s for a wedding just say an event because so places jack up the prices
@@srcstcgngr2905 we did a potluck for ours! Mainly worked as i have a huge family that is use to feeding everyone for holiday events.
Next video:

No making nails out of a hammer
@@heyl1829 I'm keeping to the theme. Just read and scroll please.
I need my weekly video fix. It’s been a week. Even if you forge a toothpick out of a nail. I’ll watch it.
11days now, where have thei gone ? to a weding maybe ?
honeymoon! they took Will together😂
Almost 2 weeks! They're probably lost at a knife convention that they obviously went to in place of the honeymoon!
@The Cynic Me too 😂
Easy Lathe work
Loved this video, reminded me of the old days when you forged live on facebook back in your old forge. Look how far you've come. Well done to you both
Ok I’m only halfway through the episode right now...
But why wasn’t this a Steele vs Stelter episode??
Jackbo M I am also halfway and had the exact thought
Probably because of how much they end up helping eachother anyway.
Just pretend like it is in your head.
Why can't Will put his name on the hammer's too?
Those are usually timed, an hour or so. Maybe they were feeling more like experimenting rather than competing.
as an ex-ACE employee... good on you lads. I hope you get that sponsorship, they're a phenomenal company
Left it for school btw, not because of any negative experience - I loved the place and almost everyone in it, customers included
its official, Alec is losing his British card....he said TUBE instead of CHUBE like a proper Brit
He never was one of us
@@am0804 how do you figure that? Are you saying if a Brit leaves the UK they were never a brit?
Thank god
He is not losing english accent, he is gaining american one. Because english accent is original.
@@verrtex7837 Not technically true, what we consider an American accent (a northern american accent specifically) is actually the ORIGINAL English accent. Brits deliberately changed their accent to sound more posh several hundred years ago, as well as their spelling. Modern day American English is THE original modern english (modern as in not Olde English) in both spelling and pronunciation :-)
Making a nail from a nail using a hammer made from nails
nail-ception
Get a bunch of nails, turn it into little chunks, and make them into nails.
This sounds a little like Tropic Thunder to me. You need RDJ to say that line.
Or buy a cheap hammer and make it into nails using the nail hammer, then it would be a hammer hammered into nails, by a hammer made from nails with the use of a hammer and power hammer
Damn; beat me to it
Now when someone in the shop says they nailed in a nail....instead of hammered in a nail.....it won't be improper English lol
You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain - nails 2019
Nobody:
Alec: "I use the nails to drive the nails..."

I used the nails to nail the nails
“what time is it will?”
“Umm, I believe that it is nail time.”
“...😐...Hammer time”
😂
I see y'all also read Adam Savage's book Every tool is a hammer and took it to the next level
Did you see the video on Tested where a guy turned Adams book into a hammer?
@@TheBothvar Peter Brown, suggest you watch him. Videos are pretty good to watch.
@@Ant100mc was about to say that, even Adam savage was impressed with peter brown's hammer
Another youtuber made a hammer from nails before. Tim Sway
2:30 "Welder? I hardly know her"
Now that's some quality humour!
Goofy Nose is that an Office reference? “Minor, I hardly know her!”
It's just a common joke
Nail on the shelf: "Finally! I'm going home! What are they going to use me for..a birdhouse? House framing? Hanging pictures? I can't wait!!"
Gets to the shop
Nail: "What's all this? wha....what are you doing? Don't put me in there! OWW! That's hot!! NOOOOOOOOO"
😂
One could say that you....
"Nailed it" 😏
ClutchTheHero *depressing golf clap*
You tried 👍

Thanos: I used the nails to nail the nails
I was hopeing to see this kind of comment.
"I'd rather be a hammer than a nail", said the nails.
Simon and Garfunkel - El Condor Pasa
These guys really dropped the hammer on this project and nailed it.
Am I the only one who thought about canister Damascus,
Oh man I've missed watching Alec make hammers. That seems to be his happy place
DANGER! DANGER WILL ........ Stelter(and Alec). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T SAND WOOD AND GRIND METAL IN THE SAME ENCLOSED SPACE!!! (12:32)
The video looks neat, dreamy and artsy-fartsy but you are putting yourselves in grave danger if you are doing it at the same time!. It is called a dust explosion and can be deadly.
A dust explosion takes 5 things: 1. Combustible dust (Wood dust from sanding), 2. The dust suspended in air (foggy picture shows that is happening), 3. Oxygen (you are all breathing), 4. A confined area (grinding room with the door shut), 5. Ignition source (Grinding steel in the same enclosed space with beautiful sparks).
I'm not going to put links in here, just going to suggest that one googles "dust explosions". It should scare the crap out of you, it does me.
I really hope that the video was intercut in editing. It appears that both grinding on the hammers and sanding the handles were taking place at the same time. If they were done at separate times, you still have to be aware of residual dust that settles on walls and horizontal surfaces that can be disturbed and become suspended.
I work at a MakerSpace in Akron OH and we have redesigned our workspace to separate the woodshop from the metal shop to prevent just such dangers. We also are adding ambient dust collectors (pulls dust out of the air) as well as dust collection on all of our machines that produce dust, i.e., all of our machines in the woodshop (14 and growing).
Keep up the wonderful work but be safe.
Ventilation and cleanup?
Happened at my school's old wood shop. Blew the windows out. Luckily no one was inside when it happened.
yeah, i use to make dust bombs. Saw a bunch of wood .. sweep it up in a pile.. start a campfire... throw dust on the campfire. Incredible.
I was thinking the same, that room needs a serious dust collection system worked out. Great content though.
am i the only one who has guiltily thought for few second "that could make a very cinematic sequence" when reading this comment ?
To the man with nails, everything looks like a hammer.
*- someone probably*
Including the nails
Didn’t give ya a thumbs up, cause I didn’t want to make it more than 69!
Blocks store logo
Shows same logo on buckets
Sometimes when I’m too lazy I’ll use my hatchet to hammer the nails
I really like your safe working style, respirators, googles, earmuffs, gloves. all used when needed.
I’m just wondering why Alec didnt try to do a canister damascus with 1080 or 1095 powder or a powdered tool steel
Because then its a canister Damascus hammer and not a nail hammer.
David But what you’re not saying correctly is that it would still be a hammer made of nails
@@ohioknifelover It would be a hammer of nails AND powdered steel, Oh the corruption!
That would have been taking the easy route ie cheating :P
It's a fun experiment though, for people in the 3rd world or whatever, you can probably find a box of nails, and make a hammer out of them if that's more useful for you.
Did annyone notice those googley eye's on the powerhamer? Lol
Perry the Powerhammer?
They've been there for quite some time.
I only noticed them while reading you comment right at the end perfect timing thanks bro
Oh haha I just saw
This guy looks like he's 19 and fit with the hands of a 50 who has the typical 50 year of dad look
Nail maker:
One block of your finest steel for nail making
Alex:
One box of your finest nails for steel making
when I look at Will's billet I can't see anything else except top ramen
Glad I'm not the only one that saw that.
More of this please! The swords and stuff are cool and interesting but this kind of content is also awesome!
I love that you two found each other. You're such good friends. I love how even during competition you're encouraging one another.
It's so cool to see what happens when two good friends get together and just have fun making stuff
It has RETURNED!!!! Oh how I've missed the fires of the forge and the sound of that hammer. My soul is now at peace 😁
I like these type of vids where you do more vlog type/talking to the camera type stuff, and less b-roll.
Daniel once RUclipsrs start vlogging I stop watching and I’m GLAD they don’t do that here
I swear to god, this young man's enthusiasm is so contagious haha
Good old trained work, there are so many drop out workers who say this stuff is useless but I’d like to see them attempting this kind project for fun.
This made me think of back in the day when you and Sam made a “few” hammers!
Experimenting? Forging? Hammering? It's good to have you back, Alec.
You gents NAILED this project!
this is one topic the forgers on you tube have gone after with a passion . I have seen chains , cables , nails , cut up wrenches , iron washers , split rings , horse shoes , powered iron of 3 different grades , rail road spikes and some one even did bullet cases in a bronze ingot all of them were turned in to a knife of some form. one of the old guys out there did a ax but the one thing about all of them is they came out looking so good at the end with the distinct pattern of what ever they started with . it's always exciting to see what comes out at the end of all the work .
Nails: Look at me, i’m the hammer now
When the rabbit gets the gun😂
@@thedancingbearforge9117 when the rabbit becomes the gun*
What a fun video! Thanks guys!
I hope Green Beetle watches. Next time add some powdered 1095 and etch it.
I'm an old married dude. I have no clue how many mattresses we've, um slept on. Water bed, used spring, cheap new spring, mega buck spring. We are on our last, unless we wear it out, and it's a Casper. They really do live up to the claims.
Nice hammers boys. This is my only forging channel because you gents got style.
11:20 "this is the first hammer in the world made of nails"
*Sips tea like a boss*
Get the FORD sponsorship too Alec! That would be amazing to see you in a commercial hauling stuff around like in this video!
Your accent is changing Alec! I heard that "four" and "stack" 😂
Toob also
Edit: Dont get me wrong, I'm from the north of England - so the correct answer is choob. But still, I'd expect to hear tyube
@@minibigs5259 I'm south of England and I would also expect 'choob'
I love that you took so much time to blur the name on the sign, but when you walked out, it's emblazoned across the bucket hahahahaha.
you can say they nailed this project
Finally some forging like the early days of Alec Steele... getting a bit nostalgic
You guys are awesome, masters of the forge!
Nothing will ever be more cool than slow-mo power hammer footage
They absolutely NAILED it
XDD
You didn't just Forge a Hammer, you NAILED it!
You really had to pound that one in; but you got it! Nice.
Hit that one right on the head
ok first of all great job as always you are who got me started in heating and beating metal in my shed second : STOP ! YOU CANT CARRY PROPANE TANKS HORIZONTALLY ! THAT'S A LARGE FINE IF A COP FINDS THAT.
Why? Liquid gas cold+valve=bad? Or something?
Yolo
@@bjrn-oskarrnning2740 I think its because IF something fails, it will be the valve. & you don't want a valve at over terminal velocity through the window / jets of flame going up do less damage than jets of flame going into the neighbor's house/car/face. Various things like that & more.
As long as they are not store and are secure from movement/ things moving into them they are fine. 20gal tanks are close to 5 ft tall and transporting in any residential vehicle would be unsafe because of the inability to secure it at the top . You dont want one of those tipping over...
@Jon Goat Thanks for the clarification!
It's hammer time :)
Next a screw driver from screws or a spanner from bolts?
Hey Alec and Will, you should take that idea to the next level and make a Damascus pattern with nails. I've seen the canister method done and it turned out great
Alec don't tease me. Missed out on the last hammer run but this time I'm calling it now. I want one of those hammers
Same!
Sign me up too!!!
Me too.
Alec, you should add steel powder to the canister to fill the gaps!
Zackfish12345 OR.... all the filings from the bandsaw!
Watching the melting metal is relaxing for no reason!
Alec looks thoroughly thrilled
Have you guys considered a gas trailer? You can wheel in and out of the shop and easily secure it to your truck.
Sounds like a build video ! Hmmmmmmmmm...?
I had burritos today; enough of a gas trailer for you?
Andrew Beeco I’m not 100% sure but I bet it would come under DOT rules
@@8urface how long you been watching alec and will for? have you seen their welds?
LOL
You guys have way too much fun. I am NOT JEALOUS AT ALL !!!!!
Hello Aiec. I am your fans from Taiwan. I already follow your channel for two years. Although most of knife yor made are not legitimage in my country.Even many people think knifer is danger or have Violent Tendency and so on…
But to be a knifer is my dream.So.I wont give up .And I am happy to understanding you..
Name that one place with the helpful hardware folks!!
So could we say those hammers are “though as nails?”
I was so waiting for that joke... and they didn't nail it...
@@falconerd343 Maybe they were hammered.
No, but probably tough as nails.
Those nails will was welding looked galvanized. The fumes from heating that stuff is toxic as hell.
They weren't galvanized, but you are correct, zinc fumes bad.
I think they were brights. Galvies are a little more grey and not as shiny
You guys nailed this project
Apparently you can turn nails into a hammer! Well done
One word
Legend
You mean form steel into another form of steel. 🤔🤔
Wow you nailed those hammers!! Or... You hammered those nails.... Or... AAAH
"a whole bunch load more nails than we would have" this man is truly a poet. what a way with words.
Wow they really nailed that build
Considering the channel I’m gonna guess the answer is yes, yes you can.
That was my first thought the moment I saw that title lol.
Everything's a hammer...
Fry: I have a nail, and another nail to nail it in with.
Alec steel: Hold my tea.
Big fan haven’t been on for a while but I really like that there is two of you know so that way there is more in a way to say content bc it give two perspectives of the art 💯🙏 keep up the great work 🙏
If anyone is wondering, the song at around 4 minutes is called Diatribe by Oliver Michael
Would love to see more videos like this! It’s always awesome seeing the experimentation! Reminds me of the forged in fire series!
lol best intro ever. idk why but im dying.
So awesome that we have this footage from Bear Grylls when he went through his Harry Potter/blacksmith phase.
Is Alec on holiday or something? He hasn't uploaded for like a week.
Yeah I was thinking that too, no Instagram or Twitter posts either, very strange. Either they are both in holiday, or something really bad has happened :(
Maybe there was a wedding?
What is a week like?
@@bobthebike7538 It's like 7 days
I think will broke the sword breaker again!
New Verses Idea for Alec vs Will. Can You Forge Steel with a Fully Frozen Turkey Leg?
ALEC I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING CASE HARDENED, THIS WOULDVE BEEN THE PERFECT PROJECT BUT PLEEEEEEASE CASE HARDEN SOMETHING
That nail brick while red hot looks like some forbidden ramen
When the only tool you have is some nails everything looks like a hammer.
Why do they both have Alec's touch mark? Shouldn't Will's have his own?
Jon Sawyer because will sold his soul to Alec
At first, I thought you were going to do canister damascus
Alec: the man with the coolest job on the flipping planet. Anyone else slightly jealous
So Alec, what you could have done to solve that negative space issue in your billet is to use a fine powder mix of part steel dust/shavings and flux. I use the method in my shop, works great.
"I think this might be the first hammer made from nails".
Clearly you don't spend enough time on RUclips. There's so many hammers forged from nails on RUclips...
And sledge hammers from railroad spikes.
