Episode 99 Mark Pearce of Mystic Forge in Big Hill Country, Alberta, Canada

Mark Pearce ladies and gentlemen. Enough said! Ok. Ill tell more. This man has been involved in blacksmithing since a young age and worked under some amazing smiths as he grew his skills under the hammer. Life took him into professional sports and he was 1st round draft pick for The Calgary Stampeders and given #99. See what I did there? We chatted back at CanIron virtual for over 2hrs and the footage for that is still available over on the CanIron website. Listen to this episode for the code to access that events video log. I feel as though I will have to bring Mark back again as this chat was somewhat cut short.

Episode 97 with Alex Norton of Valhalla Ironworks in Tasmania.

Thats right! Alex Norton back on with the boys at Forge Side Chat. This time Lando and Welschy sit down to discuss blacksmith life with Alex. Many of you may remember Alex from the very beginning of Forge Side Chat. Before it was an actual podcast! Yep! We have over 30 recordings we did prior to releasing episode 1 of the podcast. In fact we started that venture almost a year befor episode 1 was dropped. You can find much of that work on wwwcaniron.ca use the code BigAnvils for access to the virtual CanIron event.

Alex has been a key element in the knifemaking community. Being one of the hosts of The Forgecast he quickly grew into the hearts of many. A few years later and has bow moved on to focusing on his craft, allowing Sam and Zac to carry the show on.

Alex has been hard at work making some very intrinsic folders as well as building up his shop to being the dream shop he always wanted. Living somewhat off grid has its own bundle of challenges. Even more so when youre trying to run a business. We discuss that plus much more in this episode. Again we kinda jump off into the deep end on this one.

Hope yall enjoy!

Episode 96 with Nicole Coenen. Youtube and social media extraordinaire. This girl has absolutely exploded on the internet and just, so happens her main deal is axes. To top it off she has actually made a few axes now. Studying with Jerry at on salt spring island and Rob from VIBA has given her an amazing start in the craft. She is located in the lower BC area, but tracking her down might be fun as she is all over right now. We sit down just the two of us and things get deep. Some very interesting conversation ensues in this episode. Perhaps we tell too much, or maybe not enough. Really looking forward to seeing where she goes in the maker world.
