I don't know if I found this guy's channel from something you posted or on my own, but watched a BUNCH of his stuff, including the entire million-fold katana series. Love his shop.

He is a bit shouty, but he is also talented. Makes me want to go and hit things with hammer (not that I need any encouragement lol)  :tu:

Seen some of his vids on youtube... especially the damascus ones... I gotta say, I like his spirit and attitude...

He's a bit much for my tastes........but man is he talented for such a young guy!  :hatsoff:

Him and Hoffman.......young and extremely talented.

If you haven't tried you won't understand, but they make it look easy.......

BTW, the YouTube Forged in Fire challenge involves a bunch of YT blacksmiths, most if not all of them well worth watching.

I probably won't make a video, but I fully intend to do the challenge by there rules during this year.

I like Alec Steele, I've followed him on youtube for about a year now.  He's done a lot of great work on his channel. He's made big improvements since moving to his new workshop.

There's a funny video out there of him when he was about 14 and swinging a sledge hammer on a piece on a striking anvil and hitting himself in the nuts with the handle end because he did it wrong. That's gotta hurt
