September 18, 2021 Graeson Fehr of Fehr Forgeworks, Winnipeg, Manitoba
The hosers chat with local Winnipeg bladesmith, Graeson Fehr of Fehr Forgeworks. Graeson goes into detail about his new worker space at North Forge in Winnipeg Manitoba. North Forge is considered one of North America's largest maker spaces and Graeson has his shop set up within their facility now. While he can't forge there he explains how he manages to get around that and still prosper as a knifemaker. Listening to this young man speak of his journey in knife making is very encouraging. From playing with a smelt as a young man to his decision of becoming a full time knife making business(while he is in university!). Lots of knowledge dropped so get your headphones ready and kick back while two hoseheads serenade you with their hoserness.

The two hosers, Justin and Lando, interview Sandra Dunn, artist blacksmith of Two Smiths from Kitchener, Ontario. Sandra is the main operator of Two Smiths. She goes into a bit of detail as to how the business came to be and where it is now. With two others in the shop fabricating and hosting classes with her she has quite the business on her hands. She is no stranger in the Blacksmith community as you will hear with the work she did on a massive collaboration in Belgium. A shout out to one of our founders in the podcast world, Victoria Patti! Victoria was the host of Blacksmither Radio and definitely paved the path for a blacksmith podcast. Much love for the work she has done for the community!
