Matt Jenkins of Cloverdale Forge just came out with a great book called: ‘ Hooked- A Blacksmith’s Study of Function Through Form’.

It all came from complaining to his wife after feeling bored of forging the same simple hook day after day. His Wife and Business parter suggested he forge a different hook every day for a month which turned into a year. A huge undertaking that had its ups and downs; #366Hooks had a supportive online following as Matt used his time and creativity to complete this task. ‘Hooked’ the book was born as a catalogue of this year long project with great insights, pictures and drawings of how to forge some of the different hooks. Matt is an Awesome Blacksmith who I’ve been following for years, and this book is a must have for any maker looking at how to execute creativity and work within the confines of a promise.

This is a special episode recorded from Örebro, Sweden. I was invited to Tormek in Lindesberg as a guest for the “Sharp Makers” Exhibit. Tormek is a Swedish company who developed an unique sharpening system that is exported to over 40 countries and is used by Wood workers, Cabinet makers, Musical Instrument makers, Hunters, outdoorsmen, professional and home cooks and everyone who needs  their edged tools sharp and well-maintained. 

I was graciously joined by Hugo and Karl from Tormek with Victor behind the glass. We talked about the incredible story Tormek’s founder Torgny Jansson who wanted to solve a problem for his father of how to sharpen his wood working tools without dragging around a huge 2 person stone wheel that was the typical method at the time. Evolutions and patents, and time and energy lead to an incredible company with the leading edge in sharpening. 

Many thanks to everyone at Tormek for their incredible generosity, hospitality and friendship. You welcomed my wife and me for a fanatic trip to Sweden and it was amazing and inspiring to see Tormek in person!  Many thanks. Geoff Feder

My wife and I just drove our daughter to the Airport back to college. It was such a great summer and I talked a little bit on why it was so great. I then covered some very new observations on the social media difficulties the knife community has faced and have I cracked the code?!  Then we cleared the deck of older listener questions and cheered me up. Thanks for all the kind words and let’s keep going. All the Best, GF
