EP 155 with Austen Evans of Lotus Forge in Calgary Alberta.

Today's episode brings you a conversation with Austen Evans and myself, Lando Novak.

We chat about Austen's beginning in blacksmithing and the struggles he has endured during some of that time. I was lucky enough to meet Austen in person at Thistle Rock Forge this spring where we had the chance to get to know each other a bit. Austen does some really nice work from axes and hammers to flowers as well. Taking a few courses now at Thistle Rock Forge as well as with a few other well noted blacksmiths in his area has given him an upper hand in understanding good blacksmithing. Check out his story here and find out whats what in this guy's game.

CanIron XIV is bound to be an event that will be spoken about for years and you don't want to miss it.

Presentations will be provided by... are you ready for this!
