Hello there! First of all, thank you for even considering listening to this podcast. You're time is important to me and I hope it is well spent by listening. Speaking of time, if you don't want to spend 10 minutes hearing about some wallets I have for sale then feel free to skip from minute 17 to time marker 27:54. A video will be uploaded to the Banecast Facebook page where you can see said wallets. Peace! 

It's been WAY too long! I can't begin to fully express my appreciation for any of you who have listened and will continue to listen. It honestly wouldn't matter if it were one person who benefited from it or found it entertaining. Having one person listening means the world. So, thank you! This episode is a catch-up episode and is the first of many to come. So, thank you for patiently waiting for a new episode! Please message me at Banecast on Facebook or at [email protected]

In this episode, I talk about being grateful for the complex process and series of events that goes into being able to perform the crafts we love. From the cattle rancher to the airline pilot to the retail store, so much goes into getting something as simple as a leather hide from the cow to the consumer. Think about it and be grateful! 

This is an update episode after being silent for almost two weeks. Lots of fun stuff coming up! 

Here it is! The final episode of this fun and slightly crazy 30 day challenge! I talk about a number of things related to having completed this challenge and I give some announcements about future plans. Thank you for listening! 

In this episode I discuss the importance of repetition and consistency in hard work and especially the trades.

Well, this is kind of a hodgepodge of thoughts on hard work. Nothing to groundbreaking here, but hopefully it is encouraging and gives you the motivation you need to work hard! 

We hear a lot about "the grind" or "the hustle", but it dawned on me that what we mean by those terms would have been nothing new to our forefathers. We talk about 12 and 14 hour days like we're something special. We're not. We talk about working from sunup to sundown and then some, as if we're a new breed of human. We're not. All that has happened is the old way has been resurrected and given a new name. We call it "the grind" and "the hustle." Our great-great-grandfathers would of simply called it "work." 

The incarnation and our physical hope. 

In this episode I give a very basic list of what someone needs in order to start the craft and art of blacksmithing. I then go into what my personal, daily grind looks like as I've done this podcast and tried advancing my skill level in the trades of blacksmithing and leathercraft.
