Loved this video concept and execution from Will! Super entertaining and a great knife. Anyone got any tips for him on the Chilli though? :D
I haven’t been watching for a month or two but now I’m back and thrilled to be!!
By the way awesome!!!
How often does a knife edge need to be ??
Chilli-smith
Never eat chilli the day you make it. Its always better the second day.
I call this a win for Will. The chili didn't even make a knife during that whole time, so he definitely made his knife faster than the chili did.
Will got tired of beating Alec , so he turned to a pot of chili for more of a challenge.
😂😂😂😂
@@AlecSteele the chili did have some fantastic character. But beans? Not in 8 hours,they need more time.
@@dalebowen2405 probably canned beans they are from up north.
lol complain about his cooking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dalebowen2405 They said there's 8 and a half hours left, at the time, we don't how long in total
A slow cooker is basically a meat tempering oven. 🤔
I was going to say something about not wanting to harden the meat, but then i realized that I would have to say "harden the meat" and oh god I've said it twice now!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meat annealing oven?
As a professional meat smith I can confirm this statement
I did not realize Alec’s hair was contagious
S Harris Haha Nice
I thought Alex wouldn't be able to find a barber in Montana to keep his up- now the haircutter has a following! Was a bit "itchy" over the move- but it has been good so far for both. Alex's ever expanding biz empire is rapidly getting into his CZcams content time.
When do we meet the recipient of that engagement ring Alex made a while back? That's what I want to know!FR
@@fredericrike5974 who is Alex?
“Willi vs chilli” is the reason why I’m here
I did a Willi vs Chilli once. It was about as hot as a forge and hurt when I peed for a solid month. 0/10 will not recommend.
Four hours for tempering is a lot of time when you only have 6 hours left on the crock.
an alternative tittle: "will finds a way to classify chilli as a business expense"
@@evasnowcraft739 and the timed pot too :D
The Crock-Pot challenge should become a monthly thing
Steele vs Stew, perhaps?
Weekly**
I too think Will should cook Alec dinner once a month 😂
Manny Murillo | Bi-weekly, perhaps.
Different recipes and different projects!
where was my invite? Im always down for some chilli!
I invite you to some chilli if you bring that beauty god of ilya
What a gorgeus waifu
True business partners
Alec: is that a crockpot
Will: yes
Alec: ok
This has really turned from the Alec Steele channel into the Alec Steele and Will Stelter channel. And I am okay with that.
They do seem to work well together, at least when the cameras are rolling.
Definitely a good pair, especially with Alex being over there himself
@@freiermann7 What do you mean "at least when the cameras are rolling." -- ??
Locutus of Borg cause while we see them be friendly on camera they might not be as buddy buddy off camera. It’s a possibility but I doubt it’s reality
Will would rather spit ideas and shoot guns in the evening rather than spending that time editing vids for a main channel... Which at the date of this comment has 5k subs and 2 vids. Its been a smart play for both of them. Im still watching lol
This semester in school I enrolled in a materials science class for my engineering degree, and we've been learning a ton about the metallurgy that goes into hardening steel for use as a tool. It's all graphs and cooling curves and doing the math about how much of a metal's internal structure is of what composition at what temperature, and it only amazes me more that skilled blacksmiths do this stuff by feel, and have been for many centuries before the exact science was understood. Great work gents, it's always worth the watch.
I didn't skip the ad because the puppy introduced it
Proof positive that Will could go on Forged in Fire & have a good chance of success.
CrimsonTemplar2 the only reason I hate forged in fire is the fact they only give you 3 hours to build a Knife/Sword....and then they basically want something that will bash iron bolt and then cut tissue paper...
@@eslcity I agree, not one competitor on that show has ever turned in something in the second round for testing that they would have let out of their home shop. So many episodes where nobody won, someone just lost not as bad as the next guy. These 2 guys are much more fun to watch.
@@starhawke380 David Roeder did. His knife was perfectly finished with his touchmark stamped on it after the first round. But I agree, the vast majority are horribly non-finished and delaminated pieces of scrap. At least you don't feel bad when they smash it into the iron bolts. Plus they give them these unrealistic challenges like harvest steel from a shopping cart and a can of beans. Basically sources of metal that you'd avoid even in the apocalypse. Or forge outside in the sun, literally no situation where you'd be forced to do that. Nobody would set up in the sun. Gauging the temperature of steel in full sunlight is not a skill that any smith would develop or need to develop. At least the final round saves it a bit because the parameters are realistic and they get to choose their own materials, and have proper time.
Can we just appreciate that will was using spongebobs golden spatula that Alec forged for cooking the chili at 0:00
Is the variation on this steele vs. the meal?
Alec needs to see this
Alec versus the snack
Steele vs the steak?
Steele vs the veal?
Y’all should race a brisket and slice it with the knife you make
It would have to be something bigger and badder then a Bowie knife or they'll be sitting around drinking beer for at least 4 hours at the end. Although it might be fun to watch will and alex get drunk and surly at each other. Lol
@@helboy74 Alec and Will should absolutely avoid getting drunk anywhere near all the razor sharp steel in that workshop. Although the explanation at the ER would be super entertaining.
@@helboy74 i don't know why, but i really did laugh at this comment!
Have to fabricate a smoker first.
Risk it for the brisket
Next up: "Using the Metric system while eating ice cream !!! Milli vs. Vanilli"
Shhhh, don't swear at the Americans. They get all confused when people mention metric
Matt Loring the metric system isn’t confusing to us, it’s just the conversion of everything already existing in the standard inches/ounces that makes it a pain. Grandma’s old recipe for Kicking Butts and Taking Names Chocolate Chip Cookies just isn’t gonna be the same if you round off grams from teaspoons. Same with engineered items (let’s not discuss the unfortunate incident with the Mars Lander...). Now if we start with things in metric to begin with, no problem, we don’t have to convert anything because we can get or make metric replacement parts. But I do agree, metric is a superior measuring system, we just need to make it THE system taught in schools at the get go.
The standard system is more intuitive with personal consumption. Otherwise metric makes a lot more sense.
@@Vault57 Funny thing is, you don't have to do rounding. All of America's "imperial" units are actually all metric units in disguise. All the imperial units are derived off of exact metric values.
@Baiko You need to go sit in the corner and think about what you've done!
“Only 6 hours left on the crock” I physically flinched from the power of that pun and he didn’t even miss a beat
Lol me too... I wonder how many takes it took to say with a straight face
I don't get it because I'm a dumbass
@@raidrope6778 "... left on the _CLOCK."_ vs "... left on the _CROCK."_
Do you happen to be related to author Brian Lumley?
Oh my goodness, it flew right past me. Such a great pun, though
STILL no forge doors. Way to follow through, lads.
Steel vs Still
The boys do booze!
And I bet we'll see it along about the 7th of NEVER!!
@@mikedeafenbaugh5984 lol now they got new title for the next episode
Bricks are just far superior
Change my mind
Odin Combee - Forged doors with flush brick slots?
Steele vs Stelter : Need-a-tool make-a-tool. Start with only a hammer and stock, then produce something (eg a hammer, knife, etc) but you have to make all the required tools along the way (tongs, punches, drifts, etc)
I've been watching your channel for a couple years now and I didn't realize how much I've learned from you until my materials Engineering class in Uni. We look at metalurgy a lot and it's amazing seeing all this stuff over the past few years come together!
On the next episode of Willie Vs. Chilli, Will makes a 120,000 layer mosaic Damascus broad sword with a golden bears bead inlay. The only question is can he finish in time. Find out next time on Willi Vs. Chilli.
next on "willi vs the chilli": hopefully some forge doors
Do not mention the forge doors...
What’s a door? I only know bricks.
Forge doors? We no need no stinking forge doors!!
ill settle for bigger bricks
“I’m a beginner chilly chilliest” that’s a new shirt print right there
Will: “Texas is the worst”
*makes pot of chili*
Even in a crock pot only a moron needs 8 hours to make chili.
@@jamesluttrell1109 if you cook it so long you don't have to mince the meat though
Wills description of the forging: sleek, slicey, Stabby, crispy, all that good stuff. Lol
I would have thought "Willi vs the Chilli" would come after he eats it.
I'm happy for alec been watching his content for about two years now and he is getting a lot of sponsor ships and making that money good on you alec
Alec can you make an updated pocket knife with every thing you’ve learned since you last pocket knife
jewel encrusted and engravings lined with gold?
@@forgotin1 Big B(ling)'s pocket knife :D
“Six hours left on the Crock...” hah, nice
I loved this. Will is fun to watch and I'm glad Alec brought him in.
Outfrigginstanding! That's a very nice looking blade, and the fact that it was whipped out in 8 hours makes it even more so. Bravo, mate!
Damn Will, you were on a mission with that knife......I liked the fact you didn’t skimp on it....you took it all the way!!
Honestly I just watched to see how the chili came out
This was a great idea! I enjoyed the puns and lighthearted comments from Will and Alec while watching some amazing craftsmanship. You guys have inspired me to so some crafting and grinding to repair and customize some of my tools. Thanks for the great content! You should try a dry bean crock pot challenge.
Every time you open the slow cooker you add half an hour to the cooking time... So, clearly Willi wins.
A BBQing addage works with slow cookers: if you're lookin', you ain't cookin'.
It's not that bad though. When slow'ing in the BBQ or smoker, a very substantial portion of the thermal sum is the air volume inside. And a BBQ is not conducive to fast recovery within a small delta - a quick recovery in a BBQ would demand having to introduce much higher temperature heat even though for a short while.
In a slow cooker holding a pot, chili etc though - once up to temperature the majority of the thermal sum mass is in the chili. The majority of its internal volume is that high-mass food. Meaning unless you leave it open so long that the overall volume of food loses significant heat, it should thermally recover within a minute or two after putting the lid back on. And if the heating pot needs to help it along; as the heat source is in direct contact with the food mass, it can dump s lot of energy into that without needing to boost the temperature notably above the wanted target temp for the food. As it does not need to compensate for the indirect mode of heating that a BBQ (or almost any kind of oven) does.
Tldr keep the lid closed, but thermal recovery time is not nearly as bad as with a BBQ.
The faceting on that handle is beautiful.
Your dog just ate your sponsor: "who is a good girl!"
Alec: New project! Should only take a few months.
Will: I can make a knife in less time than it takes to cook a pot of chili.
That knife is stunning, in a sleek and simple way I love it.
you know this means he will eventually have to quench something in the chili
well... Will might need a good quench depending on the heat of the chili.
10:02 hello Adolf 🤣
So with Alec taking up knitting in the other building its great to see Will keeping the ball rolling and forging a knife and a great looking one at that.
You hit the key ingredients to every chili I've ever enjoyed - meat, beans, onions, peppers, spices, and tasty. Well done! If you want to switch it up next month, swap the beef for some chicken and pork - that adds a whole different dimension of flavor and texture. Also, it gives you a chance to chop the meat and veggies with the Bowie knife.
0:29 me facing my problems head-on for the first time
Instructions unclear, chili now wielding homemade knife
Great work guys! Just wanted to pop in here for a quick fyi. The clips on the lid of a crockpot should only be used for transportation to mitigate the chance of spillage. They should be left unlatched while actually cooking as pressure can build up inside.
Hi Alec,
I don't know anything about blacksmith things, but have you ever thought of heating your anvil? While you hammer the metal the anvil acts like a huge heat sink, so by heating it up the metal would cool slowly and you would lose less time waiting for the piece to heat up inside the forge.
Hoping to have given you an interesting idea,
an engineering student whose life was ruined by the study of thermodynamics.
I love how he says "Montana is the best of all the states...." as that big, beautiful lone star flag towers beside him. 😁
Jacob B Texas is the Lonestar state, but not necessarily the bright star state 😏
We could cut Alaska in half and have Texas be the third largest state.
T J if it were in half then it would be tied in 3rd
Definitely would love to see more installments of Willi vs. The chilli
Willie vs the chilli.... This is golden content, almost as golden as Alec's new retriever.
Great knife, Will.
When the chili snobs find out what's gone on here today, be sure you have your big-boy britches on.
As an Arkansan, I can confirm this is a toothpick.
That’s a damn good looking knife for only 9 hours.
Good to see you stuck the Chilli in the Willi, not the other way around. Beautiful work on the k-niff!
FYI, one little tip in using a crockpot, the clips are for transporting after cooking, you should never cook with it latched, it’s a slow cooker not a pressure cooker.
Alec: How goofy can we make this show?
Will: Yes!
Round two of Willi vs the chilli: the aftermath
Round 2: Alec makes a bucket while Will eats a whole pot of chili. Will Alec finish before Will hits his limit and needs to use the bucket?
This is one of the best crafting videos on CZcams. Well done Will, well done.
Ok Willi vs the chilli what's next Steelie and the Stew??
I love how Will is making food but he puts the knife in the oven more than the food.
The heavy metal in the background was a very good choice.
Just want to say mate that when it comes to food its very hard to do it "wrong". People will always complain but honestly it looks like you did a fantastic job with the food and the knife. Should be proud.
My quick chili recipe takes about 30 to 45 minutes and can be made with your choice of meat. My high end chili takes almost 3 days to cook, simmer, and fully mature into the flavor profile I prefer, mostly to allow the seasonings to fully incorporate into the chili.
There is only one way to cook Chili, and that's your (own) way!
Cold brick and some garlic powder.
Chili is like a tasty amalgamation of what ever you have on hand. As long as it tastes good and keeps you warm during the cold times, who’s gonna complain?!
Stale cheetos, water, and mildly evaporated Tapatio.
Except, no beans.
Venison chili or it doesn't get cooked in my house
It's 5 in the morning here 😂 and I'm waking up watching the notification saying WILLI vs CHILLI 😂😂
It is roughly 6:00 pm here, the internet is an amazing thing that it allows random people to communicate from so far away.
@@garethbaus5471 yes it is 😄
Willi vs Chilli sounds like a win win to me. Now you've got a really cool knife and some homemade chilli.
The puppy was the highlight of this video
Puppies always steal the show
Alec: Please i hate doing Mobile Game ads
Nord VPN: oh alright
RELEASE THE CHILLI EATING FOOTAGE
Will is a beast and without shame. The way he wears the dirt on his face like it is a badge of honor is an example to us all.
Kewl blade, looks like what you would expect someone from the 1800's to be carrying around, but buffed, profiled and polished till it looks like a piece of art.
I wasn't first
I wasn't last
But for all that it's worth I sure clicked fast
it's so dark and lonely out here in outer space...
Chillllllllllli! Will set a warmth in ya no matter how cold the space is!
@@Cybornut i see!
All the Brits giggling when he said Willi.
This channel has become proof that you can turn time back 244 years, a colonist is doing the work while a britt is reaping the rewards.
Will is 100% a competant and bad ass smith. Comolements alexs giant personality and both arnt even in their mid 20s. Thats what killin it looks like
Awwwww... Will did the thing that Alec does where he explains what he’s doing while he’s hammering so you can’t here what he’s saying. He’s growing up so fast.
"Alex! What do you want to do for the channel!"
Will - jeez. I have a new wife, she wanted a puppy so she got a puppy, we got hammers, there's a clothing-thingie next door. Look mate - I'm swamped. Do you want to do something."
"I'll do something cool AND feed you guys dinner!"
"I'm not following...."
"Doesn't matter - just stay out of the way!!!"
Brilliant segment, and very nice blade. Enjoy that chili, you earned it man
alec please don’t stop being a main builder in the videos like james did at hacksmith
"Montana is the best of all the states"
He says, as there is a Texas flag in the background.
GrigglesTheTexan I was going to say that if someone els didn’t😆
Bbbbuuutt you never denied it wasnt. Just saying.
Well, who amoung us have actually lived in about ten states? I have. Every state has it’s positives and negatives. Montana is nice but gets to cold. Plus the gas rates are about as high as California. Texas was alright but there are a LOT of dumb asses that cannot hold complex thought in their mind for longer than a second. Hell, if property prices weren’t so damn high California where I live is perfect. And don’t call it commieland. I do have a few more rights than the rest of you. Just can’t get a cc permit unless I can PROVE I need it.
Commie-fornia is a real thing 😂. And Montana is better, because Alec and Will work and live 10 miles from me 😁
I think I'm probably going to start saying 'on the crock' whenever I should say 'on the clock' now. If anyone wants an explanation I'm just gonna say 'Chilli'
I totally thought he had said clock and was mildly confused as to why Willnfound it funny
Your handle material appears to be Bubinga, an African wood that is very hard (similar to cherry) and strikingly beautiful when properly finished. Bubinga has a lot of potential for chatoyance, which you can easily bring out by applying several coats of tung oil, allowing each coat to dry for several days before the next coat, and finishing with a high-quality lacquer or varnish. With enough oil soaked into the surface, the wood's appearance will change with the angle of the light source (the aforementioned "chatoyance") similar to a polished tiger eye stone.
What an adorable baby girl
Just need a nice fluffy fry bread.
WavyPete94 Or some hot buttered flour tortillas!
Nice work Will! Careful...Alec might find that working with the amazing smell of chili in the shop is a good thing you might have a new concept here: Forging with Chili. One can always tell when Will is working hard as his face gets darker with shop dirt. Great video, thumbs up.
Please! Make a Damascus steel-sub hilt-integral bolster-cocobola handle-leather lanyard-gem stone inserted bushcraft knife with quick release straps-altoid, tinder, Wet Stone & Fire Starter pockets leathre scout sheath.
Maybe thow in some twisted gold wire flukes and custom lanyard beads to.
Alec Vs. Will kind of challenge. so each one of you guys can have their own knife and go use them on the wild.
Or a Alec vs Beef Jerky?
“Montana is the best of all the states”
Me: *screams in South Carolina*
It must be the best state, alec lives and works 10 miles from me!
I've been saying every time I watch an episode that Alec and Will need a Palmetto flag in the shop, and have never sent them one...
That may be an impeachable offense.
Am I right in thinking you changed your editor? This episode has a different feel to it. Nice job Will!!
I think the music is the big difference but i have only been watching the channel for three months so i may not be able to tell the difference
They've been planning on getting a new editor since alec moved almost a year ago, they've been using the same one from the uk
Most certainly did not start off w the signature Alec Steele welcome....
@@danielcrawford7315
I liked it, for some variation
Same editor.
The hardwood you got could be Imbuia wood or Rodesian Teak normally used for train track sleepers... . .
Would love to see a collab series where you and Alex make a full set of high end beautiful Damascus kitchen knives (something I would give my first born for). I think y’all could put together some serious artwork of a knife set.
That chilli looks so hot, yo could have tempered the blade in there
If this becomes a regular series you might get sick of eating chilli
or get really good at making great chili
If you are sick of eating chili that just means you need to make better chili.
Yogo is best Blacksmithing apprentice. Paws down. That said, Will, great job on both the blade and the chili. They both look fantastic. Make Willi vs. Chili a series!
Willi vs the Chilli. That makes me smile so much.
So this is what Kevin Malone’s family does in their spare time
Will looks like he’s been down in the coal-mine😂
Everything except the janitor key clip is very impressive! You guys are true Craftsmen and it's so inspiring to see young dudes mastering an old art. Your grinding skills are epic Will!
I'm buying or downloading any advertisement on this channel as long as that good pupper delivers the sales pitch.
"Montana is the best of the states"......
*stares in Texan*
Texas All The Way.
Speaks volumes how many Texas comments there are lol
Don't mess with Texas.
Just look at what it did to all those poor Texans.
NW of Ft Worth here. I concur.
And by the way y'all... its a Boooie knife. Not bowy knife
