Alec Steele on Youtube
His channel has nothing to do with razor making, but he does some very cool things. For some reason, he has me glued to the screen. I've watched a lot of his videos, he does some cool stuff. The quality of his videos are very good.
I think it's the accent and his hair that has me mesmerised. Anyway, thought I'd post this here for anyone interested in watching some cool forging videos. Check out some of his other videos. He usually forges the blank, and then follows up a few days later with actually making something from the billet.

The hair reminds me of a brush I own..
Pretty cool vid! I am impressed with the giant, hydraulic drop forge (or whatever it's correctly named).HARRYWALLY and Marshal like this.

Power hammer. Seems like he has some very nice toys. Bet if he didn't have that thing he wouldn't be putting out a video per day on Youtube.

I recommend watching the 3 part vids on him making Damascus spurs. They turn out amazing.

He has some really good vids out, and I have to admit I have serious power hammer envy (I believe it's a pneumatic one). He's also incredibly prolific, so if there's something you're curious about smithing, odds are he has touched on it.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

He seriously makes me want to smash some hot steel! I love that everyday I have something cool to watch for 6 min.
Seems everything he tries turns out quite well.Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

His live streams are long. Most his vids are only about 6-8 mins.

Good to know. Apparently I have been watching his live streams. One them they were discussing T-shirts and someone said they should make one that say you hit like a Ferrier. I found that quite amusing.

Interesting videos, he really takes the time to plan the project good to see, even shows his failed attempt. Reminds me of a young David Bowie...
