Just a reminder. These long 10+ part videos are wonderful! Please never stop!
-
This is my current favorite series on youtube.
-
This has been my favourite series you've done for a very long time. I REALLY hope that you do a build project using this steam hammer once it's finished. That would be a great story
-
I really love the choice of music when forging and fabricating is taking place, the jazz just reminds me of old movies and what not.
-
something about understanding the history of the machine and trying to repair its worn out and damaged parts is so interesting because you are forced to go with the flow and come up with ways to fix it. always excited what you will do the next time. also it seems that the steam powered train visit has been a huge help. let him come over for a live demo when the steam power hammer is fixed.

I thought you'd never top the making a zippo lighter series, then you did it with the damascus socket wrench, and now you're doing it again with the steam hammer. I'm looking forward to these videos each week, please keep it up. Also the backing music was unreal on this.

Hi Alec, been trying to keep up with your videos. The steam steam power hammer series have been great. I saw your nail making video, and you talked about lubricant for the nail header. I'm my work we use something we call "dry lubricant" (we also use it on some of our steam engines) it's graphite powder in a spray can, works great for hot applications. Still use the tools we made together back in Norwich, couldn't be happier with them.

i like the jazz as apposed to the stress music
-
I love your longer video series, but this has to be the best one. I always look forward to your content, and I have since the days when you first got to Montana! Keep up the incredible work and cheers to Jamie as well! Love the video work!
-
Very cool music change. The jazz was interesting.
-
I honestly am loving this, as I already have a hobby of restoring old tools, and while it’s frustrating to not see it come to fruition in one video, I do enjoy being able to watch a relatively short video that breaks the entire project into little pieces. It allows you to show us in detail all that you’re doing, and you don’t have to gloss over any steps to shorten things up. Can’t wait to see you bring the steam hammer back to life!
-
Alec is fixing a old steam tool so that he can make new tools. Join on this 4+ month journey! ⚒😄
-
I love the progress Alec!!! You’re really plugging along on it and I can’t wait to see it take its first heat!
-
Im loving this series... im not a mechanical minded person.. i work on computers.. but this blows me away.... !!
-
I woke my wife up laughing at the "I call these the Pythons." lmfao.
-
teasing a maligator mid project is bold. instant bite sleeve break demanded
-
Alec, it is truly amazing to me how much you just love any kind of stimulating problem-solving project just for the sake of it. Putting such an incredible amount of work and research into something, and you’re seriously planning on just giving it away so that others can learn from it. Absolutely remarkable. Loving this series, can’t wait to see what’s next 🤘
-
4:25 On top of these, I'd also highly recommend Pferd grinding discs and cutoff wheels. They last ridiculously long and the abrasive really bites well. Been using them in my shop for the past few years and haven't looked back since
-
The jazz that kicks in @10:33 is just <chef's kiss> perfection with the subsequent lathing montage.
-
The knowledge you gain, and the knowledge you pass on through these videos is excellent! I always enjoy your longer video series. With all the garbage content online; your videos scratch my brain just right. Thank you, from a long time subscriber!
