Full Blast

We’re celebrating the end of the year with the legendary Aaron Gough of Gough Customs. My guy is back! He’s been on an 18th month hiatus from knifemaking to make a huge announcement! Aaron is easily responsible for some of you learning how to make knives. Tell the truth. Aaron’s YouTube videos definitely helped me on my way to starting out and I always tell people to watch them. And with that said if he’s helped you on your way, I think you should repay his generosity by getting on the pre order of of the Resolute MKIII( That’s me telling you what you should do. )Aaron is always good on the show and his analytical mind shed’s light on a lot of stuff going on. We had a great time and I just wanted to thank you the listener for all your great support over the year. I truly appreciate you being here. Many thanks to my sponsors and thanks to Craig Lockwood for all the behind the scenes support. This is the end of the year ep and I’ll be taking a couple weeks off. Here’s to good health, peace and prosperity for 2024- I’m with you- GF

My buddy Ben Kamon is back! Love having him on and hearing his perspective. Ben is on my Mount Rushmore of Knifemakers; his experience as a machinist and ornamental blacksmith has informed his design, techniques and business style and I’m here for it. We talked about business, social media, business directions and had a great time. And Ben pointed out the potential for a big hurdle for users of instagram. Always fun hanging out with Ben. Thanks again.

Every Black Friday I like to have a show where we talk a little bit about this and that and fool around with my friends reading crazy stories and commenting on them especially with Ben Snure. We also  talked about the Instagram Algorithm in the Maker community ands how it affected people right before the holiday season. We also covered why it’s happening and it’s pretty easy to understand. There’s a link in the bio of the Instagram page with an article about Section 230 and why it’s the main reason Instagram stops recommending certain content. Ben Rules and we always have a good time.

Tom Nugent is a knife maker in New Jersey who recently started his company Knives by Nuge after a career in law enforcement. We talked about his start in the Boy Scouts and how it influenced his decisions to become an EMT at 16 and a police officer. Tom’s Knives are primarily Bushcraft and his years of fishing and hunting have inspired his decisions. We talked about how hard starting a small knife business is and covered the unromantic parts of paying the bills. This is a very honest look in what it takes to giving the knife business a go. Tom is an incredibly hard a worker, and a great up and comer. Definitely someone to watch. Thanks again Tom- GF

Noah Vachon of Vachon Knives is one of the best. He’s an incredible Canadian knifemaker, who I finally had the privilege of meeting in person at Makers Camp a few weeks ago. We had a great time this episode catching up. Talking about the struggles of being a small biz. How the Panny changed sales and what’s next. Love Noah and we got a peek into how he makes his incredible micro knives. Thanks again- GF

Nick Anderson of Nanda Knives is back! Nick is a blacksmith and glass artist in California. Nick is in a new shop and we talked about the new beginning, teaching and a nice conversation about being an artist and how to combine art in the knifemaking process. Loved talking about his glass work and what it means to “Garage it in the Kiln”. Love talking to Nick and always look forward to where is work goes. Thanks again! -GF
