Today we’re interviewing our first craftsman who’s not a woodworker. Alec Steele found his passion early in life and has been blacksmithing since the age of 11. We talk with Alec about starting his business at 16 years old and the journey that lead him to be one of the fastest rising YouTube makers and how he’s leveraging and expanding his business through merchandise sales and courses.

Alec Steele has grown his YouTube channel to over 950k+ Subscribers in less than 2 years, and become one of the most recognizable makers in our growing community. He was featured on the History channel’s Forged in Fire TV show and his contagious personality has inspired a wave of makers to begin blacksmithing.
