Forge Side Chat

Episode 71 with Grant Chamers of Crown Knives @doctorviggen from Ottowa, Ontario, Canada

We originally spoke with Grant quite sometime ago about being on the show and finally got to it now. This man is beyond detail orientated. One look at his work and you'll see what I mean. An excellent conversation about knife making and other aspects of life ensued for a couple hours once again. Hope you all find it enjoyable.

Also if you wanna be super duper fantastically awesome...

Episode 70 with Spencer Sandison of @heavy_forge in Anchorage, Alaska, USA

Ladies and gentlemen another fantastic episode with your hosts @abstract_blacksmith

And @oldsoldiertoolworks

The conversation this week was focused mainly on Wootz and the process behind it. Spencer has been putting in the elbow grease big time. Literally. Guy works the roads and makes his own tools. But he is also making some amazing strides in wootz. Sit back and enjoy as he shares his knowledge with us.

Episode 69 with Malachi Chou Green of @troopahknives in San Fransisco, California, USA

Another great episode packed with knowledge. We brought Malachi onto the show in anticipation of chatting about metallurgy and Holy smokes are we impressed. Malachi is currently studying material sciences in Pittsburgh with a focus on metallurgy. You might pick up on the crossover to our last episode with @mikes_metalworking. These guys are working towards changing the knife making world and hearing their words is super exciting.

Definitely an episode I recommend for all the knifemakers out there!

We did it again. We went south of the border for a special episode with a young maker currently playing with mixing copper, brass, bronze, titanium and other alloys. Mike is a super smart dude and we dive deep into his methods of making his alloys and why he does what he does. Lots of great info to soak up this show folks. Only more to come next week! Thank you to everyone for joining the shenanigans! Lots of great feedback lately and it's very awesome to hear!

Episode 67 Henrietta Verway of @ironsunsetforge in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada.

Henrietta has been blacksmithing for a good number of years. Right now she is running her own shop at home, but also spends a lot of time at the local blacksmith museum in Lacombe which is over 100 years old!

We had a great chat and it's another long one full of great info. Lots of names dropped. Sorry no tags this time again. Almost didn't have an episode because one audio file glitches, but my savy IT skills figured out a way to save it. Talk about a worried moment.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to bug @oldsoldiertoolworks Nick with some questions!

Episode 65 @dabswellington

From St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Yes that's right, a guest from the USA and a welder yet! What in the world is going on? Well, Dabs is a well known TIG welding artist. There is the crossover between himself and myself(Lando) for starters as we are both welders and have a love for stainless steel. Turns out Dabs has a strong interest in blacksmithing and thus our conversation was set in place. Don't worry, we still have a heavy focus on talent in the Great White North and will be right back to a Canadian guest next week. In fact someone I think many will be excited to hear from! Hope you all enjoy this awesome conversation we had with Dabs and thank you all for tuning it.

Dawson Detwiller joins the Forge Side Chat Podcast this week to talk about his business venture. We discuss the crossover from his product to metal and wood work, plus we learn how Dawson has started this off as a personal hobby and is now pushing a growing business. We laugh and have good times as always. I hope you all find this episode to be of educational value towards your work space and shop. Maybe you get a chuckle or two as well. Never hesitate to reach out to us. Nick Verbree of oldsoldiertoolworks and myself Lando Novak of abstract_blacksmith. Of course Forgesidechat on Instagram is a great way as well. We've got some amazing guests lined up for future episodes and I think a lot of you are going to be very fricken stoked on some of the names and knowledge we are bringing in soon.

Many thanks goes out to all of you for tuning in. Really amazing to see how many people are genuinely loving the show.

Another great chat locked down this time both Steve and Nick sat down to help host the show. A lovely conversation about blacksmithing, welding, and our usual shenanigans. Wes has a wealth of knowledge we barely got to tap into, but that's.because just the surface was lots already. I may or may not drop the solo recording I did with him as a bonus to this episode as we did have a bit more in depth convo there.

Many thanks goes out to all of you for tuning in. Really amazing to see how many people are genuinely loving the show.
