More Forging Barrels Like It’s 1718

Alec Steele, blacksmith and all-round metalmaker, takes us back to the golden age of gun-barrel forging, referencing an early 18th-century gun-making manual to show how it was done “like it’s 1718.” Along the way he blends old-school craftsmanship with modern DIY machining.

He also hooks you up with freebies and behind-the-scenes access: grab a free LMNT sample pack, join his Discord and Patreon, follow on Instagram, and check out his Amazon-affiliate gear picks plus music sponsors (Epidemic Sound and SoundStripe) to support the show.
