How to make a Spatula for the BBQ or Kitchen 

Wow, I just passed over this video, haven't seen any of your pre-2016 work. Personally I enjoy this more laid back, less energetic style of making videos. I can see why a majority of your audience like your more recent work, so I understand the increase of energy. Either way, energy or no, I will continue watching your content because it is hands down the best blacksmithing channel I have found.

I can't put my finger on it, but there is something with your voice that makes it very pleasing to listen to you narrate your videos. The videos are very informative aswell. Keep it up!

I liked this so much! I am, for the first time, watching all your older videos and i must say: although the great improvements on forging and editing videos, the essence of what you are and do has been and will always be the strongest and greatest and most motivational thing you could give us! i'd really like to get there in Norwich, share some pizza and beer and have a nice chat with you (and Sam maybe!) :) So i just wanted to thank you for everything you do and tell you that i really hope this will go on for a really long time! Have a nice weekend :)

This is the first Alec Steele video that I ever watched back when it was made. I was watching AWE Me, the blacksmith show where they make things from movies and video games. I saw the title, thought of spongebob, and subscribed. I’m so glad he still makes content.

Love the style of these old videos!!!!!

Another great video! That a bar of metal can be spread out so much!

Man if Alec had any idea of how far he would come in the next 5 years

I've been a subscriber since just after this video came out, and I'll still come back to these videos and enjoy them just as much as I did then. Cheers!

Fascinating and beautiful to watch.

I just went through his previous videos and now suddenly he sounds like the Alec we know and love. lol

You have a great voice and way with words. I could see you on a BBC tv series in the future. Keep up the good work.

"or you could attach a string if your into the tactical stuff" XD I love it haha great vids Alec! I watch everyday and you got me back into forging with your amazing content as inspiration. Making videos or no you will always be my favorite person who made/makes videos on RU-vid! :)

Probably going to be the first project I create when I build my forge! :D

Great video. just starting out in blacksmithing and a friend has already asked for a bbq spatula

Very nice tutorial man! Makes me want to make an own ^___^!

A great video for us noobs. Thanks for the excellent content and eloquent commentary.

Very nicely done Alec. Glad you are doing well. Thanks for sharing.

I like the regular videos.

excellent teaching and a great spatula

another fantastic video! keep up the great work, both forging and film-making!

Very nice video and instruction Alec!

Once again another spot on video from you. Well done!!

this is like some ASMR blacksmithing.

Clean as usual. Looking good man!

Beautiful!!! Good job dude!!!

ausgezeichnete Arbeit

Love the video dude. Great narrative.

Lovely work Alec

love this! going to do this!!! when my skills,at the anvil get better! lol

Excelente trabalho o seu, espalhar pelo mundo um conhecimento que aqui no meu pais (Brasil), desconheço quem faça o mesmo. Assistindo seus videos , comprei algumas ferramentas e estou imitando v. Muito obrigado e coloque mais videos novos.

great item! thanks for posting.

Great project, you have such a command of your hammer

Cool!!! Thanks for videos!

Excellent!

Great video, will have a great time trying my own.

Can you make one with a central rib? A bricklayer's trowel has a strong rib at the attachment point. Many cheat and just weld the handle on, but Alec, you could forge one without cheating. If you make a small one it would be an archeologist's dream, especially if made of stainless.

Awsome work

You're the man!!

Hi Alec, have you ever thought of making a BBQ tong?

Great video ! thanks for sharing !

Hi Alec, nice video. There seems to be a cut in it where you tidy up the spatula blade and give it clean edges, particularly around the top where the handle joins. It would be good to know how you do this - file at red heat, file it cold, chisel it out, power tool or something else?

Alec I love your work and the way you explain they way you do things very valuable for one who is wanting to get into smithing I have a question for you please , when for example you are making a piece like the spatula and heat dissipates from the thinnest part quickly because of thickness and width etc is their any reason you couldn't apply a gas heat /blow torch to the anvil at the point you are working on, to slow down the loss of heat or would that destroy the integrity of the anvil over time? To me it just seems logical that you could work the object being made on a hot spot longer or even have a separate anvil to do such work with rather than going back and forward to the forge and reheating all the time. Thanking you Tony ( Western Australia)

This is great, what size is your stock an how long is this?

Well, metals conduct heat pretty good, i wonder how did ypu make sure the handle is long enough that the user doesnt burn his hand during barbecue. Is there a formula or like a base assumption point?

How about a video on that anvil your using? Material, cost, fab, etc.

Impressive

Hey Alec, enjoy your videos what size stock 1/2 or 5/8. I I'm just getting started took lyles class on tool making really helpful . thanks again for your videos and keep up the good work

Alec, I know you used 1/2" for this, but do you think i can get away with 3/8"? Thank

What is the length of the steel used in this project, thinking about recreating it

this is kick mun :)

beautiful bro

The 3 people who disliked are people who think that blacksmithing is dangerous even with proper tools and protection.

👍👍👍

just wondering im thinking of getting into blacksmithing in england and i dont know where to get my steal from have u got any ideas

Nice! Did you make that anvil or did you buy it? I have a fisher anvil I bought which was a terrible mistake. The edges are pretty much useless and the face aint too wide. I am debating if I should sell it and buy/make another one. Can you forge pretty much anything you would on a regular anvil or is it only for small stuff? Thanks

espátula

Makes me want to make an entire kitchen out of Damascus...

nice voice

I've used the cross peen 3 times now on 3 different billets and they ALL came out like leaves. Nothing even close to a spatula and I followed this video as close as I could.

Is this ASMR?

nice, two dislikes
