The crafting dream in flames

Is there a favorite content creator you recently started following? Why do you like their content?

I don’t know that I could definitively say there is a favorite among all the content creators that I’ve started to follow, but I can certainly pick out one to talk about because they occupy a unique space in all of the variety of content I consume regularly. That would be Alec Steele.

Blacksmithing is one of the many things I wish I could get into for the fun of it was spurred on by medieval fantasy stories, and while I’ve never prioritized it highly enough to watch a lot of blacksmithing content (like the show Forged In Fire), Alec’s content just hits differently. I think part of it is the interesting concepts and ideas he tries to run with, like making a QR code in Damascus steel, and also his creative problem solving as he tries to achieve quality Damascus titanium. The energy and excitement he puts into all his work really draws you in, and the way he presents everything makes it easy to maintain fascination with the art of modern fabrication and blacksmithing.
