About Bill Worden (STEEL F/X PATINAS)

Bill Worden runs the STEEL F/X PATINAS YouTube channel from the United States, publishing tutorials and product demonstrations for metal artisans. The channel has about 5,450 subscribers and a median of 875 views per video, with 110 uploads since 2012. Most content is low-production, filmed to show patina application, color case-hardening, clear-coat technique and surface prep on steel and stainless steel. Uploads stopped after mid-2024, and the channel is the owner's own product showcase rather than an independent creator outlet.

According to the channel description, the business manufactures over 60 steel patinas along with metal dyes, alcohol inks and two-part clear-coats. Its audience is likely hobbyist metal artists, knifemakers and gunsmithing enthusiasts, though these are estimates from video topics and not measured demographics. Sponsored content has not been found; the channel promotes its own line.

At an estimated $150 to $250 per video, the rate is well below the cost of a typical $10 to $30 CPM paid ad, since the rate range here implies $20 to $35 CPM on median views. Brands that want an engaged, niche metal-finishing audience should book this channel. Brands seeking reach or recent activity should look elsewhere.
