Hi and Thanks for listening to the episode 19 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast. For this episode we had the pleasure of talking with Rory May also known as Dirty Smith. We had a great time chatting with Rory about the art of being a Blacksmith. To us this was a very interesting because we're all metal workers but a Blacksmith is a true metal worker. So hit download on your favorite podcast platform, pop those earbuds in, hit play, drop your hood, and enjoy.
