- Awful
If you want to listen 2 morons blab incoherently about politics you’re better off chatting with your local homeless person. Probably be more entertaining than this podcast

Apple Podcasts1StopForcingMeToReviewUnited States6 months ago - Love this podcast
Starts off with first 60+ show as an awesome interview type show with great information and tips to knifemakers, blacksmiths, woodworkers, and makers of all kind. Then Onur joined Toby and their chemistry is fantastic. Good fun listening to them chat while I get work done in the shop. Quickly became my favorite. Thanks guys! Keep it up.
Apple Podcasts5_Shaun's_United States3 years ago - Great for any Maker.
I have been binging this podcast for a few weeks now and am really enjoying it. It is targeted at knife makers but it crosses over in to all Making. I Enjoy the free flowing format of Toby’s interview style. He manages to draw out great information from his guest. This has directly influenced my knife making. I will continue listening and if you’re reading this I would highly recommend you give it a go.
