    EP 172 Will Steed of The Forge Co. in Leduc, Alberta

    Episode 172 with Will Steed of The Forge Co. in Leduc, Alberta. Will has been growing his blacksmithing skills over the last 8 years and during that time has developed a business creating artistic pieces. Will has also established a mobile workshop that he takes across Western Canada during the summer months. He uses this to help bring blacksmithing into areas where it isn't as easily accessible. The workshops can range from knives and axes to artistic skills behind the anvil. Will takes us around the shop a little bit during this interview. My apologies if you find this portion tough to listen to via just audio. Check out the YouTube version available for free! Huge thank you to all our listeners and supporters! Can't say enough about the people that reach out to let me know how much they enjoy the show! Fuel my fire hosers!

    EP 169 Jim Kehler Artist Blacksmith

    Episode 169 is going live on the feeds for everyone to enjoy and this week we are taking it one step further. You all asked for it and now you're getting it. In person. I. The shop. On YouTube! That's right folks. Forge Side Chat is hitting the tube. You can now watch and see first hand exactly what the heck we are talking about with some of the crazy stuff that comes up on the show. This week we are bringing Jim Kehler to the audience. Jim is a highly respected smith in the Manitoba area. He's been at this longer than I've been alive! With a formal education in blacksmithing and one of very few journeyman certifications in Canada Jim is a wealth of knowledge. His shop is one that I believe any and every blacksmith would be proud to work in. He has spent many hours as a smith working at some very large power hammers and also well versed in smaller intricate pieces. I can only hope that this new venture of Forge Side Chat brings everyone a higher level of education and entertainment. If you enjoy the youtube version please subscribe, like, comment, share, and even reach out to let me know if you think I could improve in any form or fashion.

    EP 167 The Book of Deep Ish

    Episode 167 The Book of Deep Ish It's been over 20 years now since I first started to play with metal. 20 years since I found a passion for something that is bound to stick with me until I die. At least I hope that I can continue to do it that long. I know many of you also feel that way about working with metal. Just making things in general. Doesn't have to be metal right. What ever it is you make, we share a commonality with each other. A common thought process. Over 20 years I conceptualized the idea for a book. The Book of Deep Ish. While this has been simply a thought in the back of my head ever since, I have spent countless hours researching philosophy. Every waking moment I am constantly searching for new ideas and thoughts from others as to why everything is such as it is. Some of these conversations have already taken place on the podcast. I can only imagine more will come over time. In this episode I go solo and chat about some random stuff that I think might hit home for a few people out there. As much as it falls into something I would talk about in The Book of Deep Ish, it is also some very factual information that I believe the maker world can agree on. May you find this episode something you enjoy. If you do find this episode enjoyable please reach out and let me know. Much love yah hosers Lando
