Master Bladesmith Jordan LaMothe is back! Fresh off Blade show we had a great catch up on what’s going on in the knife world. We talked about the past and speculated about the Future. We even bridged the gap between art & craft, focusing on his latest piece: “Sojourn”, which represents the duality of his time spent as a student in India as it relates to his home on a farm in Upstate New York. We talked about where confidence comes from and everything else. Jordan is an incredibly talented person; so well spoken and helpful. Always great having him on. I highly suggest listening to the older episodes too. Thanks again- GF

My buddy Keith Johnson aka @Kjsawdust is an awesome furniture maker and content creator. He’s also the cohost of Shop Sounds Podcast with Jason Hibbs. Great having Keith back and we caught up and told stories about the stress and anxiety of installing build-in’s, railings and anything else you have to deliver and put in a clients house. Never in my life have I been more stressed than when I had to of out “in the field”. I’m getting the sweats just thinking about it. Many thanks Keith as always! - GF
