Forge Side Chat

The return of the Marchand!

We sit down with the one and only Noah Vachon and discuss knife making and business as a knife maker. Noah is an amazing knife maker and well respected in the community. Tune in and find out bit about this humble man.

Jesse has made a name for himself producing some amazing hatchets. The man is no stranger to sharp things and we dive into hay with him. And a dumpster fire too. Can't seem to avoid those these days.

The hosers sit down with John and Nancy to discuss blacksmithing in Canada. These 2 have been at it for longer than either of us hosers have been so hearing their stories is always a treat. From living and running a shop with no power for 7 years to having symphonies recruiting them for their sculptural work, John and Nancy have seen a lot. So sit back and let us fill your brains with something hopefully useful. If it's not then I hope yah get a chuckle at least.

A bonus episode this week with the boys from Hustle and Grind. Yes, there I room for our brothers below the 49th parallel. Please take my apologies on the audio quality. Apparently our equipment doesn't crossover so well

This week we sit down with Kevin discuss his venture into knife making. Kevin is a fairly new knife maker but has quickly been picking up the right skills to make some super awesome knifes.

Episode 46 is currently loading for release and it's a good one!

This week we had Rob Bonifacio on the show from @bonifabcustom to talk about all the crazy projects he takes on. You may remember Ron from such events as CanIron or the 12 hoseheads episode we did for a Christmas special. The guy is a machine for producing new and cool ideas and he documents it all for his YouTube channel. We talk shop, life and social media. Learnt a thing or two as always. How you do too. Let us know what you think of the show!

This week the hosers sit down with Christopher Palfy of Palfy Custom Knives in St Albert Alberta.

Chris has been playing around with the concept of making his own knifes since he was a little kid, but finally dove into making some real beauties in his 40's. During our convo we hit all sorts of different notes and some really great tips. Highly recommend this episode for knife makers new and old.
