Today's episode is an interview with John Rigoni of Rigoni Ironworks.  John is a blacksmith and firefighter from Texas. He's one of my heroes in the craft and he's got an amazing YouTube channel with some of the cleanest forging you'll see. He's a very talented guy and I was thankful to be able to talk to him about his background, some of his tools and his thoughts on his work ethic in the shop. Enjoy!
