We join Lyra, Will, Iorek and the galivespians as they set up a forge in a Himilayan cave, preparing for the daunting task of mending the knife together as a team.
Join us as we shout ‘It will cut’ at every opportunity, share our own forging stories and enjoy Iorek’s indescribable but effective bear-stares.

We talk about the show Forged in Fire ALOT this episode…here is a little taster of what the show is like!
Here are some facts about Encephalisation quotient (EQ) so you can speculate about how smart a Gallivespian might be, relative to a being of the same size.
There’s a little more here on the general principles and metallurgy of forge welding.
Here are some photos of us forging and the actual knives we made! We have a long way to go until we are Iorek-level bladesmiths…We did this at Oldfield forge, which we heartily recommend!
