    Just a reminder. These long 10+ part videos are wonderful! Please never stop!
  • This has been my favourite series you've done for a very long time. I REALLY hope that you do a build project using this steam hammer once it's finished. That would be a great story
  • @fleacircus4408
    I thought you'd never top the making a zippo lighter series, then you did it with the damascus socket wrench, and now you're doing it again with the steam hammer. I'm looking forward to these videos each week, please keep it up. Also the backing music was unreal on this.
  • @Ruboka
    something about understanding the history of the machine and trying to repair its worn out and damaged parts is so interesting because you are forced to go with the flow and come up with ways to fix it. always excited what you will do the next time. also it seems that the steam powered train visit has been a huge help. let him come over for a live demo when the steam power hammer is fixed.

    Hi Alec, been trying to keep up with your videos. The steam steam power hammer series have been great. I saw your nail making video, and you talked about lubricant for the nail header. I'm my work we use something we call "dry lubricant" (we also use it on some of our steam engines) it's graphite powder in a spray can, works great for hot applications. Still use the tools we made together back in Norwich, couldn't be happier with them.

    I love the progress Alec!!! You’re really plugging along on it and I can’t wait to see it take its first heat!
  • @CMDR_Scorpion
    Im loving this series... im not a mechanical minded person.. i work on computers.. but this blows me away.... !!
  • I love your longer video series, but this has to be the best one. I always look forward to your content, and I have since the days when you first got to Montana! Keep up the incredible work and cheers to Jamie as well! Love the video work!
  • Alec is fixing a old steam tool so that he can make new tools. Join on this 4+ month journey! ⚒😄
  • @thejoetandy
    teasing a maligator mid project is bold. instant bite sleeve break demanded
  • @ConfusedRaccoon
    I woke my wife up laughing at the "I call these the Pythons." lmfao.
  • @FarFromN0thing
    Alec. Consider going to school or getting an apprenticeship in the steamworks/boilermaker industry. I think you would be thrilled to do it and end up becoming an educator. 😊
  • feel like we are back to old alec! love it!!! no crazy over production, back to the british boys with Jamie like the good ol days, Its got me watching again anyway!
  • @lilljj231
    The music while on the lathe is top notch, please more!
  • @LukeAquilaNance
    The knowledge you gain, and the knowledge you pass on through these videos is excellent! I always enjoy your longer video series. With all the garbage content online; your videos scratch my brain just right. Thank you, from a long time subscriber!
  • Glad im not the only one that makes random sounds to dogs when playing 🤣
  • @geneard639
    One day, I hope you sit down and put together a mega-cut of start to finish a project. That would be awesome.
