EP 150!! With Ryan Belanger of True North Forge in Alymer, Ontario Canada

Its with absolute pleasure that we get to introduce you to Ryan Belanger this week. Ryan has been a good friend of ours for a few years now and is without a doubt one of our most favorite blacksmiths. His skill set is something to admire as well as his humble approach to life. Justin and Lando discuss with Ryan much about this as well as his involvement with the upcoming CanIron. Ryan has a few demonstrations under his belt with his local group OABA and will soon bring his knowledge of the ABANA curriculum to Austin Manitoba. The tools, the techniques, and most importantly the wisdom behind repetition. Ryan is not one to settle for good enough and you can see that in his work. If you are on the fence about CanIron, the demonstrator line up is without a doubt something you don't want to miss.

Thank you to everyone that listens and follows the show!
