Forge Side Chat Lando and Nick

EP 127 Zac Mahadeo of C&Fe with Natalie Rekai from Toronto, Ontario


Finally another episode! This one was recorded a few weeks ago, but with life comes challenges. The last few weeks have been nothing short of that for me (Lando). I solo host this one, but with Zac's wife joining it has the normal 3 person vibe. A great conversation ensues about life, love and of course blacksmithing.
We dive into how Natalie and Zac met at a blacksmithing course that soon turned into a very strong bond. How their relationship has helped them grow and continues to not only as artists but in business as well.

Hope you all enjoy this one and may the next be not so far away eh.

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.
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 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.
