    Gabe Fletcher

    Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage forge returns with a massive shop upgrade, a rare Beaudry 400 power hammer with a 400 lb (181 kg) ram. We talk about how he found it, the full rebuild and reconfiguration by Kevin Willey, and what it takes to install and tune a five ton mechanical beast. Plus, die setups, why Beaudrys have a “Cadillac” reputation, and a quick dive into protective finishes for etched Damascus, including Gator Skin. Help support us on Patreon!

    Our guest this week is Doc Smith a cognitive neuroscientist and linguist who also happens to be a part time knife maker. He shares how an inside joke with his wife about smug people with titles ultimately became part of his maker identity, how his early blades barely cut an onion, and how years of trial, grinding, and intuition shaped his signature style.
