Alec Steele
@alecsteele · YouTube · United Kingdom
At the age of 11 I discovered the craft of blacksmithing and fell in love with it. Since then I have been following my dream of forging steel, learning as much as I can about metalwork and documenting the entire journey on this YouTube channel. Over the last 15 years of this channel I have forged art, tools, blades, restored machines, visited some of the most interesting factories in the UK and much more. I hope our videos inspire you to pick up some tools and find the joy of making. Business Enquiries:
