Forge Side Chat Lando and Nick

Episode 125 with Hix of Hix garage located somewhere in the USA

You read it right. A man of mystery, a man of talent and a man that I just had to get to know more about. No he isn't a blacksmith and he doesn't make knives either. He does however make some amazing art pieces. Hix is a lover of hotrod's. If you aren't a lover of hotrod's then take off eh! The hotrod and ratrod scene is very much influenced by blacksmiths and metal workers. Hix tells us about his journey into painting, pinstriping, hotrods and how it became his passion and now his business. Once again Mathieu Laroque joins as co host as he begins to warm up to the podcasting world.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. Or maybe grind and smash and enjoy. What ever you're doing I hope you enjoy this one and all others. Cheers and good day eh.

Episode 125 with Collin Hayworth of Hayworth Handmade in Spring, Texas

This episode we sit down with Collin to discuss his endeavor in knife making. Like many others Collin found his interest in knives through the hit TV show Forged in Fire. He then followed the path of YouTube University to gain the ability to make some pretty sweet blades. Collin came by our radar when his account got locked out during all the hoora on Instagram with knife makers. Unfortunately it led to Collin having to start a new account which can be very frustrating. We hear about that and more. Once again Mathieu Laroque joins as co host as he begins to warm up to the podcasting world.

EP 123 with Lisa Huth of MetalicArt in Castlegar B.C. Canada

Back to the Great White North for this one folks. This week we bring Lisa on the show to chat artistic blacksmithing. Lisa has been at this game for a good amount of time now. Not only has she gained skills and tools for amazing art, her reputation in the community is that of an amazing artist. I have personally had a chance to see her art in person and was nothing short of amazed. Even my daughter thought very highly of it.
We dive into what got her started and where it started. We then trail off into how she runs business and of course we get a breakdown of her tools. Mathieu Laroque aka laroquez joins this show as co-host while Nick takes a bit of a break. This was his first cohosting gig so give the guy some slack. Maybe reach out to him and let him know how he did. Everyone enjoys a good reach around eh! Welcome to the team Laroquez, it's a beauty to have you on board bud.
Apologies for the audio on this one. I definitely tried to correct it, but apparently I can only do so much with the program I use. Hope you all enjoy yah hosers. Take off and keep your stick on the ice eh!

Sit back, relax and enjoy. Or maybe grind and smash and enjoy. What ever you're doing I hope you enjoy this one and all others. Cheers and good day eh.

Episode 121 with Shane Kribernegg of Friday Forge in Twin Lakes, BC, Canada

Welcome back to the Great White North ladies and gents. This week I (Lando) sat down with Shane to hear about how his journey into blacksmithing began at a very early age, but it took some push to get him interested in what his dad had already been doing for years. Shane's father comes from a life of farrier work and at one point in life Shane finally faced the hard truth that the passion for metal work ran in his blood too.

This episode was originally recorded over a month ago. Technical issues caused a large portion of the files to be lost and thus we had to sit down again which was just a couple weeks ago now. In this episode you will hear about Shane's big new purchase for his big new shop! There were some difficulties in getting the new shop going but it's up now and looking mint.

Shane is no stranger to blacksmithing outside of farrier work as well. You will hear about how he has spent some time learning from some really great smiths such as Shawn Cunningham and Jeri Sparshu as well as John Williams!

Sit back, relax and enjoy. Or maybe grind and smash and enjoy. What ever you're doing I hope you enjoy this one and all others. Cheers and good day eh.

EP 120 with Andrew Cirtwell of Deer Run Forge in Burlington, Ontario, Canada eh!


Finally! Another episode unleashed to the public. This one took a while to get out, but it's a good one. We talk all sorts of blacksmithing, business and life. Andrew is definitely a gent we enjoyed chatting with and of course the love between Nick and Lando(weird to put my name when I'm the one writing this) is in full effect. There was a ton of stuff that was going on in between this recording and its release. You'll probably hear about that in the next couple episodes. Until then, enjoy and feel free to reach out to us via Instagram or email. And don't forget to rate the show on what ever platform you're in. A small review can go a long ways for us and is always appreciated!
