    Been watching Alec Steele's channel for a bit now, and saw this video today. Figured people might find it cool because it gives a cheap option for maybe discovering an interest in hobbyist smithing.

      Love that dude. Found his channel about a year ago and went through the entire thing. Entertaining, creative, uplifting, informative, well edited, inspiring, and just good ol fun to watch. He gets into a lot of stuff that I'd like to eventually learn and have a decent setup for... one of these days.

        Same here. Just started watching in earnest a week or two ago, and I've been absolutely loving watching them work on the new power hammer. He's just so energetic and clearly loves what he's doing. Definitely a dream to get to have that much fun doing something I enjoy for a living someday.

    Also here to comment that I was into Alec Steele's channel a bunch over a year ago or so. We would power through videos over dinner watching multi-part series of him making swords, etc. He's a good lad and his videos are edited well. I love the attention to detail put into his content and the generally positive attitude he has. I mostly fell out of the loop because of other interests and also I moved which took up a bunch of time.
