Thanks very much to Alec: we've been wanting to film something together for a long time, but never managed to work out what it could be until now. I'm having a lot of fun with the second channel!
Seeing you and Alec in a video is a collaboration I didn't know I need
fun video, i am excited for more
Creating this second channel was one of your best decisions lately :)
This Is A Collap I Thought I'd Never See But So Happy It's Finally Happened :)
This channel feels like a new Unus Annus
I’m really enjoying the “talented CZcamsr uses his lack of expertise in various fields to showcase how talented other CZcamsrs are in those fields” theme that the last couple videos have had.
It's a wonderful reversal of Tom Scott's usual role as the gamemaster controlling all the other CZcamsrs.
Same with the Mould/ElectroBOOM argument :D interaction between science youtubers across fields is so great
@Standard Taco
you try swinging a heavy hammer in multipe precise blows in quick succession then.
to *show how? EDIT: corrected
@@SpaghettiConfusion As another Smith, I can tell you you're wrong. Hammer control is everything. Go ahead and throw a 3lb hammer for an hour on 2000 degree steel and get back with us.
"give it a single blow"
**WHACK** **WHACK** **WHACK**
"Ok, how do you define single?"
Lmao
I've had teachers ask me questions like that while I'm happily going alone thinking I'm doing good.
"The same way my ex does"
Relationship status: "Ok, how do you define single?"
"All by myself, completely lonely, as alwa--oh, you meant as in 'one' didn't you?"
@@IceMetalPunk No no, that's a _virgin_ blow.
6:00 "And can I say, you're swinging that hammer probably 20x as hard as at the start"
THAT'S the power of a montage...
Hurray for montage
The south park montage song was playing in my head when I was watching it haha
i gotta start a montage making service, take 30 minutes at the gym, turn it into a one minute montage, the person becomes 20x stronger than they were before
Alec: ''Give it good, solid single blows''
Tom: *continous blows, almost smashes his hand*
Alec: ''How do you define 'single'?''
xD
I loved this, reminded me of my driving instructor
Well I mean it's "blows", not "blow"
Tom:" how do you define 'blows'?
The definition of single is me...😭😭😭
Tom's first hammer blows couldn't drive a nail into cheese, but a few minutes later he is swinging that hammer like Thor.
I love that phrase, "drive a nail into cheese". Thanks for the chuckle!
And that is exactly the correct way to do it. Build your form, and then your power. From baseball, to golf, to blacksmithing.
Did Thor also hold a hammer wrong?
@@dalelc43 Maybe in the beginning...
Excellent observation :D
"I do not have a respectful response to that"
We need more online speech like this these days :-D
I thought a respectful response would have been 'practice and muscle memory'.
@@Shaun.Stephens I think his sincere response would have been "because it is".
To be fair, once you correctly understand what it is you're supposed to be doing, I can't imagine that particular manouver is a hard one.
@@Poldovico Indeed. "Once you understand what it is you're supposed to be doing" you've likely had some practice and have some muscle memory. Tom did so much better after a few tries. Alec has been doing it for years.
@@Poldovico how long have you been doing blacksmithing? Because I’ve been doing it for a while and holy shut it’s hard
@@deathvideogame of course it is. But the one specific thing Tom was trying isn't why.
Tom teaches Alec to set punch to "margin: auto;"
Exactly! When I heard that line I taught: This is web developer talking, haha.
Yep I thought exactly the same when Tom said that haha (except then I thought that probably wouldn't quite work, because then it'd end up in the centre of the long side as well... or end up as a reeeeeeally wide hole)
I understood that reference!!! XD
nice
Next Tom teaches Alec to give the blacksmith gloves "padding: auto;"
Something about the slowed down, overly dramatic camera shots with Tom hitting it like a gingerly stroll down the park is hilarious.
Your description reminds me of the "filmed like a music video" video
That’s Alec’s style.

Love it
Can we also just mention how patient, informative, and encouraging Alec is as a teacher! It was great to watch.
I really do appreciate that Tom includes all of the blunders as well as the successes. Too much of CZcams is just people showing off how good they are at skills without anyone knowing the amount of work it takes. Thanks for the content Tom!
I like that you can see him improve in skill and confidence in a thing as each video progresses!
If he appeared to be doing great right from the start he wouldn’t get to show how much he was improving! :D
His caving video is a great example.
Spend some time watching through Alec's catalog of videos (If you haven't already.). No showmanship here without the humility of lessons learned.
Luckily we also have How To Make Everything, where they sometimes go to the other extreme :D Although they've been getting better and better at the various skills.
I wasn't expecting to see Tom practice blacksmithing, but with all the other crazy shit Tom's gotten into, I don't know why I'm surprised. I mean, this is the guy who sent garlic bread to the edge of space.

12:38 Tom has an ElectroBoom moment
I love how cautious Tom is at the start. Barely any strength behind the swings
Very common in beginners. I teach blacksmithing and I always have to stress that the students don't have to make friends with the metal after we're done, so hit it like they mean it.
I guarantee I’d be exactly like that. I know it’s metal on an anvil but I’d be afraid I’d somehow break something if I hit it hard.
It's common with people that aren't used to hit things. Mentally they thinks "hit that spot" but to make that and not pass we brake our movement. The "trick" is to aim behind so we keep the full force all the way.
Also often easier to start with a lighter hammer that can easier be controlled.
His arm had to be feeling that the next day
I would be afraid that I'd miss and smash my fingers into the edge of the anvil. I bet that's a part of why Tom was being cautious.
I love both how deeply uncomfortable Tom is with most of this and how genuinely he seems to do a pretty damn good job considering he hasn't done it before and doesn't seem like a guy who watches blacksmithing videos randomly in depth.
I think most skills can be learned to a reasonable degree of competence in a surprisingly short amount of time with good instruction. Alec has plenty of experience teaching youtubers how to blacksmith.
I think the best way to describe Tom in these instances is “genuine” lmao. He’s like anyone else would be: nervous and a little awkward, but enthusiastic and excited to try something cool.
I'm amazed how Toms hammer work went from this dainty little tap to a hard thwack after a single montage.
6:42 i love his brutal honesty
"Nothing bad will happen from hitting too hard."
Tom: *Doubt*
You could definitely see the progression of Tom through this, at the beginning his hammer hits almost looked like he was holding back right before the strike as if he'd break it, or the anvil won't stop his swing, but near the end he wasn't doing half bad for someone with only a couple hours of experience.
It takes his hands to stop it as well as the anvil. The amount of force that goes back up your forearms takes some getting used to.
What I love about this video is how much you can tell that Alec is a Good teacher. He’s so patient and specific with his feedback and you can tell tom is picking it up immediately because of that. What a genuinely lovely demonstration of good teaching
Tom is conquering the elements:
Blacksmithing: *FIRE*
Caving: *EARTH*
Coffee: *WATER*
Aerobatics: *AIR*
Cards: *...HEART?*
I mean, he's still got a way to go before conquering caving

@@npc6817 This aged in the best way possible. He's conquered caving! (Or at least that one very specific cave)
all this time, I thought of blacksmithing as "hitting things into the shape of other things" but now, I'm quite reminded the it's hitting EXTREMELY hot things... thanks tom, that was nerve-wracking
Expert: "Nothing bad will happen from hitting too hard."
Tom: *blank look.*
Tell me you're scared without telling me you're scared.
Not much later: "I whacked myself in the nuts with a sledgehammer once."
@@DaedalusYoung Didn't hit hard enough.
I feel like it was the nice way of saying "I don't think you're even close to hitting it too hard, please hit it harder."
Actually hitting the thing, sure. MISSING the thing, on the other hand....
I have been loving this new channel of yours so far. The "confused newbie trying out something that requires a special skill set while being taught by an expert" is such a lovely and interesting concept. I have to admit, I was one of the few who were disappointed because you decided to make a new channel instead of branching off together with the TechDiff guys / continuing Citation Needed. I've changed my mind now. Continue whatever it is you're doing in this new channel. I love it !
It's making Tom Scott feel somewhat like the next generation Mike Rowe.
@@KainYusanagi Dirty Jobs was awesome and a critical part of my childhood !
Blacksmithing seems like an unfathomable amount of trail and error went into developing all the techniques and practices - and I can't even imagine how many burns!
One thing that most new people forget about blacksmithing is that it's a profession that has existed for as long as there has been metals.
Each generation has brought something new to the table (or anvil as it may be) and what you are doing is learning what has taken hundreds of years to perfect in a matter of minutes.
that is such a cool way to think about it
That type of person existed before metal, that is just a type of builder.
Without undermining your point too much, it's worth pointing out that a lot of the 'perfecting' that happened is less about how to forge (which is still done through combining the same handful of basic techniques - tapering, drawing out, punching, drifting, planishing, etc which are largely unchanged throughout history). The real development has been in the steel itself - we take for granted that you can buy all kinds of near-perfectly uniform steels in almost any stock size; ones which will harden in oil, water or even air to well-defined rockwell numbers which you can easily calculate, and with a massive range of possible hardness/ flexiblity properties for your desired purpose. But in the past just getting a fairly uniform piece of steel without flaws in it, and then hardening it after forging without it failing was an incredibly difficult task. It's hard to conceptualise just how difficult that task was with the technologies available in the past, and how on earth we figured it out.
I mean, that is the case with many professions... There are bankers since there is money, builders since there are buildings, cooks since there is fire, and Prostitution since there are people.
Sort of... Blacksmithing is about forging metal (shaping through hitting), which you can't do with bronze. So, smithing has 'only' been around since the start of the iron age.
The pride someone feels when they hold something they made with their own two hands is a joy that can fuel an entire career.
On one hand, I'd love to try this myself. On the other hand, I haven't managed to make a pan pizza without severely burning my hand, so it might not be the best idea.
You should do it! I found a nonprofit community forge in my area online a few years ago. You pay for classes, and once you've had those, you can also just pay to use the space and the tools. I've now taken two forging classes and a welding class. I've got my eye on a second welding class and a knife-making class, which look super fun. I still have a lot to learn and I don't get many chances to practice the skills I learned, but the learning itself was fun!
@@thesoupin8or673 That sounds great, I'll see if I can find something like that in my area! I've found a couple of forges that offer courses, but only that - none of the "pay for the space" stuff.
I feel painful looking at Tom's wrist. It would be hell for him for quite a while.
Also everyone is saying Alec is a great teacher, yes, but Tom himself is a great student. Brilliant you could say.
At 13:55, it's simply frightening when Alec said how Tom defined single.
I'm surprised at how willing Tom is to do things outside of his expertise.
"But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things your never knew you never knew"
I thought Tom's expertise was "things I've never done before and making cool videos about it."
I feel like its a good way to live life, personally. I do anything new I can when offered. You turn into a sort of a jack of all trades and you may find the one you want to master. :)
14:49
In Tom's defense, Alec did say "single blowS" instead of "blow"
So I actually think that Tom listened more closely than Alec did himself, to himself 🤣
Perhaps, but based on your interpretation, how do you make multiple blows?
@@kaldo_kaldo
I'd say that "single blows" means long, hard strokes, with a pause in between to inspect the effect.
And "multiple blows" I would interpret as many small taps in quick succession.
But there's definitely wiggle room to argue 😂
@@kaldo_kaldo Much the same way you would do single strokes drumming or painting; a momentary pause between strokes.
@@PianoKwanMan I don't like the comparison. On an instrument for example, you typically play notes in rapid succession, several per second. But you don't hammer like that if you want to get anything done. There's no purpose in hammering in such a manner.
I think that if you were to say “single blow” it would mostly be interpreted as just one hit and then stop and wait to be told what to do next, where as “single blowS” would be interpreted by most people as a hit or with a pause for inspection
10:38 web developer Tom coming out😂😂
I used to own a forge, anvil and tools. Loved blacksmithing so much but I was having to do it outdoors in the garden. The neighbours claimed they didn't mind but I always felt super self-conscious having the air intake going and noise from hammering away so sold it all a year ago. Regretting the decision every time I watch an episode from Alec's channel.
For anyone wanting to give it a go I strongly recommend having a try out day with someone like Copper Elf smith. I learned so much more on the few days I spent with them than all of the tooling around and watching videos. Having someone make small corrections to form and technique like Alec was doing is super informative. Knowing what a good heat on steel looks like can't be easily communicated through a video and being able to problem solve, what hammer weights you prefer and so on can be really helpful.
I've been an Alec Steele viewer for a little while now, and I have to remark on how much he's changed from the spunky teenager in a workshop too small for his ambitions to the seasoned expert who can concisely, specifically, and effectively give feedback to somebody with zero experience.
He's definitely matured into himself. I do sometimes miss the spunky teenager though
Alec is a fabulous and charismatic teacher, and it’s a joy to see him simultaneously create and educate so skillfully. Thank you for another fantastic learning experience, Tom!
I like how Alec treated Tom just like a blacksmith will treat their student. Not a really tight handholding, some pointers, telling what to avoid, and not really making it a big thing when he got burned. It's like "it's part of blacksmithing, you will get burned one way or another." LOL
Someone that can teach as succinctly as Alec can definitely knows what they're doing.
Alec teaching one on one lessons is a real throwback
I am jealous of Tom for this one opportunity. Well done!

@@Adamch10 Same to you! So much fluff
I'm sorry Tom, but as soon as the rock music came on for the montage, I burst out laughing.
I loved this video. I forged hot steel for 12 years. It was called "drill steel". Miners use them to drill through hard rock in underground mines. There was 5 other companies that made it, but they machined them and tack welded them together, as we forged ours all in one peice of steel. I kind of miss those days.
I was so ready to see them test it at the end. That was a fantastic twist. Great video!

Most people only say "this part is sponsored by..." and would never call it "advertisement". At most only the abbreviated form "ad" if even that

@@kaldo_kaldo The word "ad" has been overused to the point that people gloss over it. Think about it this way: If they are the same, why not write "advertisement" instead. That's because "advertisement" has a much worse connotation than "ad". It is way better than "sponsor segment" imo.
And yes I would like "The production of the video has been paid for in part by..." more
@@Alltoc People say ad because it's one syllable instead of four and people abbreviate everything.
imo "ad" is fine and clear, much better than just "sponsored by". it's literally just a shortened form of "advertisement" and for me at least there are no differences in connotation

i was also confused
3:13 It almost looks like Tom is caressing the bar with the hammer, while before, Alec was, well, hammering it.
Love Alecs channel, so much fun seeing creators do stuff together. Love it when people try out new things and blacksmithing is one of those activities that I've always wanted to try but now can't due to illness and disability. I am working towards setting up a little silversmithing spot for jewelry at home so I'm going after the lighter version.
As a blacksmith, this was VERY entertaining to watch.
