Lots of great info!!! You guys do a great job giving great tips and keeping it interesting and entertaining. Thanks guys
Hi, I am an 11 year old looking to get into blacksmithing and am finding the podcast very helpful. I am on episode 34 the one where you interview Nieels Van Den Berg and am enjoying the podcast and I listen to it as often as I can.
Love the show, I have learned a ton. but it sounds like there is a fish tank or done water trickle in the background which is quite annoying.
How do you make knife making, Blacksmithing and poor tastes in music (jk) interesting and entertaining? Have Alex and Sam discuss them on a podcast! They have a great dynamic, funny and authentic as they share their knowledge, experience and personal adventures. One of my favorite podcasts!
Excellent hosts sharing knowledge and advice for Blacksmith’s and knife makers. Also the occasional guest to stir things up. Great podcast with great personalities.
