Lucas Deconninck might enjoy watching some of Alec Steele’s videos he’s an amazing blacksmith he likes his humor but spends an enormous amount of time on every project he takes on and they all come out looking awesome definitely worth watching
Right? At the first glance on the thumbnail it looked like a thick branch and when he presented this really thin bar of steel I was a bit confused. Well done.
I think he wouldn't function very well in a large workshop, this is much better suited for people like him that only do small but good looking projects. The smaller they are, the less massive time goes into hand filing and all the other tedious work.
You mustn't compare your competence with such multi-artists as Uri. Don't be sad you aren't as good a sculptor as Rodin, and don't be sad you aren't as gifted a musician as Mozart .
When I first saw that, I thought of the Damascus steel one that Alec Steel made, where he accidentally left it in the etching liquid over night, it ended up looking like a gnarled piece of driftwood. I love the detail you put into this, it's awesome.
The mark of a true artist is to see a blank canvas and be full of wonder at all the possibilities. Get you someone that looks at you the way Uri looks at a simple piece of blank metal.
This is a work of art in it’s own category. I am extremely impressed and amazed by your ability’s as an engineer, metal worker, woodworker and as an artist. You’re an inspiration for many and I respect everything you do. Keep up the amazing work and continue to impress us all.
This man deserves so much respect. Even RU-vid trolls don't post stupid mean things here. You would look ridiculous criticizing this man. I am impressed every time.
I'm left handed. Hint Hint... Your imagination meeting reality I'd a pleasure to watch. Thank you for letting us. From a left handed no kiridashi having old man in California.
Kiridashis are one of my favorite tools . I use mine nearly everyday. You should make more of these types of videos, I really really enjoy watching them .
This turned out quite amazing, I am inspired to make one myself. I have a few kiridashis and I love them. It's definitely in my go to blades when I work.
I am always amazed by your work. You are a builder/maker and artist, rolled into one person. A unique and powerful combination. I love that you used an oak tree for the design. Oaks are my favorite trees!
Absolutely beatiful! Great style! Oh, and, by the way, I love all those little details in the video that speak "homebrew solutions", like using a big clamp for a sort of "lathe" device and your makeshift forge. This video is a case study on how to make a successful workshop at home and how one doesn't need either a huge space or expensive equipment.
Uri, there are many interesting and fascinating channels of people creating interesting and fascinating things on RU-vid. BUT, hands down there none that create truly one of a kind pieces like you do. The best way I can describe your work is that it’s a blend of art and craftsmanship. Thank you.
I'm amazed at how well you captured the gestures, shapes and textures of the tree, especially in such a flat medium. It's like a yuugen ink painting of an oak tree made into a knife. Beautiful
Really inspiring work! 10/10 on form and function. I loved the texture punch idea. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. You and The Crafsman are keeping zillions of people from going stir crazy!! Best wishes from Missouri
Very nice, just go with your heart like you have done. You have a great eye for things and you should trust your self more. Thank you for letting us see your work. When I see you have a new video, I know I will get to watch you make some thing special.
