    Honestly, the one thing I really love about Alec’s evolution as a content creator is how he threw away the pretense of being a macho adult and gave in to the manchild he always was. The way he maniacally laughs now is so much better than the early years of his content. Keep up the good work. And Jamie, never fight again against a lawnmower.
  • Never thought I'd be into a series about fixing a steam hammer.... yet here I am again and will continue watching till the end
  • @joelblair8339
    Jaimee has turned from a great cameraman/editor to a great asset and friend to Alex, who is also one of the best cameraman/editors on YouTube.
  • I'm glad to see the Lamp of Damocles still around, not that you have anywhere to offload it
  • @erik81subaru
    You should make your own brass plaque to go on the power hammer. Saying "Restored by ____ 2024", or something along those lines
  • @MeriaDuck
    8:30 with so many references to square I was expecting a square space segment, but we were already past that 😂
  • The time lapse shots of the milling of that bottom die block from a fixed perspective relative to the block were supremely satisfying to watch.
  • @Uberfoxbob
    You know, the Spiffing Brit has worked with both Linus Tech Tips and local computer shop. Might be worth reaching out and seeing if you can get a computer built for CAD with all of the fabrication you're doing.
  • The amount of precision required to properly restore the hammer really explains a lot about how messed up it was thanks to all the repair jobs it's had over the years.
  • @theGolde
    If there were 158 episodes of this series, I would watch every last one of them. Keep em coming, Alec!
  • @tw1st3dw1ll7
    One of the top content creators on YT, watching him grow over the years has been awesome.
  • @acyour
    I sure miss the Sword Builds that took months to finish
  • I don't think Alec give himself enough credit the drawings, his mechanical understanding, and ability to visualize how something works and make it in the really world takes a lot of intelligence
  • I got all 20 of my nails! They are awesome! Thank you, Alec and Jamie!
  • I think a certain cameraman and editor deserves a bonus, he's an asset to the shop
  • @Kaelygon
    Can't believe this series has made to 438! At weekly uploads it has been 8 years but it feels like it has been just few months Edit: correction. 8 years, not 36 years.That'd be at monthly upload rate

    I know nothing about a power hammer, let alone a steam hammer. I've never even seen a machine like this. Yet I'm finding this series so interesting. Keep it coming. Looking forward to next Sunday already.
