    This week we’re joined by Coy Baker for a conversation about Damascus production, Baker Forge’s new stainless Damascus workflow, their "new" massive 750 lb Chambersburg power hammer, custom forge setup, argon purging, pattern testing with clay, and the systems behind running a serious steel production shop.

  • The hot take inbox is on fire!

    No guest this week, just pure shop talk and chaos. Keith puts the new white VSM belts through their paces sanding a mountain of stabilized blocks, the crew debates who’s actually going to Solingen, and the hot take inbox is on fire, from “stop buying retail” to clown vomit handles and why fancy Damascus won’t save bad craftsmanship. Then, somehow, it all ends with toilet paper technique, wet wipes, and Pauli’s dream of a Japanese toilet.

  • Fingal Ferguson!

    Fingal Ferguson joins us for another High Carbon episode that bounces from Knife Solingen including a Patreon giveaway (two 2-day passes). A new Anchorage brewery collaboration, plus plans for a matching knife build with a bog iron twist. We also nerd out on power hammers, belts for oily woods, foil vs spray for heat treat, and end up, somehow, talking potatoes again.
