Bernbuilt

Patrick and Jeremy talk about their boots while plowing in the Adirondacks.

Jeremy and I start this episode with intent to examine our wins and losses from the decade, and our goals for the future, but it gets out of control. Instead we diss formal education, our dating history and the holidays, all while we putter around in the wood shop and deliver some furniture deep into the Adirondacks in an F550 box truck (enjoy the low rumble of I-87)!

A brief 2019 retrospective, touching on the year's maker progress and challenges, as well as a short rant about some of the makers and their podcasts that keep me going through all of this.

A crash-course in my experience collecting blacksmithing equipment over the last year; what I paid for things; and a few tidbits I learned along the way.

Mentioned in this episode:

Andrew Alexander, @blacksmithtools

Justin Dietrich, @dietrich76

Tracey Cheuvront, @bastionhead

Kathrina Nellis, @kathrinanellis

And the new Obey The Grain podcast, on instagram and Apple Podcasts, at least.

I re-made the Bernbuilt Made podcast logo this episode! The old one felt flat. Wear those safety glasses, folks.

In this episode, I rant about how makers are more important to me than what tools they're using. TL;DR: makers using tools I don't own doesn't discourage me from watching their videos just because I can't personally relate to that tool or method. I don't usually watch makers' videos for the exact project that is featured; I usually watch because I enjoy the person doing the project, their perspective, and their approach.

My cousin Jeremy and I open fortune cookies, analyze the contents, and ponder the meaning of life.

Had to dub-in some details after the fact.
