During this episode we plunge into the well-tempered world of Will Manning of Heartwood Forge. Listeners learn about Will’s complex relationship with turn-buckle shoes and reclaimed steel. His kitchen knives are a mixture of various steels and even though reclaimed steel might not be totally cost effective, he likes the idea of the hunt and the folks he meets along the way. Will points us to his interest in gardening, and connection to his community of Jonesborough, TN.

To see more of Will’s work, be sure to check out his website www.heartwoodforge.com. or his Instagram page @heartwoodforge.

Will’s Craft Crushes include ShiHan Prull, Akira Satake, and Pawena Thimaporn.
