• Remembering 9/11 - 25th Anniversary

    This was a very special episode remembering the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with 2 of my closest friends. Both Eric and Henrik had different experiences that day with incredible and harrowing stories. One thing they both came to the same conclusions to was the indomitable human spirit that New Yorkers and Americans had at that time - Selflessness, generosity , bravery, helpfulness, courageousness and compassion. Even as we recounted one of the worst days of our lives, we looked towards the good in humanity and hopefully one day we can get back there. 


    Many thanks to Eric and Henrik for your generosity, flexibility and friendship. I can’t thank you both enough. Many thanks- GF

  • Karl Frentz Returns!

    My guy Karl Frentz is the Digital Marketing Specialist for Tormek USA and has become a great friend. Last November Karl came to the shop and filmed an awesome short documentary about Feder Knives and Tormek. It was such an amazing process and we talked about what it took to put it all together. Karl has incredible success with social media for Tormek and imparts a lot of nuanced points that are definitely helpful. Then we finished off talking NBA and what the latest shake up in the east could mean. Karl’s my guy and i love catching up with him, he’ll be back.

  • Nick Anderson: Garaging it in the Kiln

    Nick Anderson of Nanda Knives is back after way too long. Nick is a blacksmith with a history as a glass Artist. 2 years ago we talked about his early days making glass objects to sell in school and how Nick wanted to incorporate glass into his knife handles. Recently he just started making glass handles and we talked this exciting direction plus his new collaborations with Flame work Artist Eusheen Goines. The glass community is very involved with collaborations and it looks like Nick has just opened him up to a lot of wonderful new opportunities. Great conversation as always. Nick will be back sooner rather than later. Many thanks. GF

  • Lila Get’s Triggered

    My daughter Lila is back from her semester abroad in Japan! We caught up about the experience and some of the stories were hilarious and you can tell where some of her temperament comes from…haha my bad. She’s doing great and getting excited for her senior year in college. Hopefully she can relax for the last few weeks of summer and lock in! Always great catching up and it was a fun time.

  • Tomer Botner Calls In!!!

    I’m back from another amazing trip from Barcelona teaching a workshop with my brother Tomer Botner from Florentine Kitchen Knives. We had a fantastic time with the students as it’s a different style of class structure. Tomer called in to recap the workshop and all the aspects of making people who have never made knives before get the experience of what it takes to bring one home. Every part was exciting and we talk about the sharpening process that each student got a lot out of. We talked about his local collaborators like Chef Borja and his Tattooist Roger. We talked about what’s next for Florentine and even hit on the Knicks off season moves to hopefully get back to the NBA finals. Many thanks to my bro and his wonderful family and I can’t wait to see you all again

  • Big in Japan

    This week was a recap of our trip to Tokyo to visit our daughter who’s studying abroad. It was an incredible time and a new perspective on the connection between the culture, government and city itself. 

    The food was better than expected, people were so polite and the infrastructure supporting everything was clean, efficient and top of the line. It was amazing seeing our daughter create a life there and maturing into a confident global citizen. We’ll be back.

  • Chris Zeppieri: The Man without Fear

    Chris Zeppieri is the guy behind Make Everything Shop- a full service fabrication shop and content maker. I’ve known Chris for a while and he’s become a great friend who builds literally everything including his family! We had a great conversation about the birth of his newest addition, fatherhood and the fun part of the different stages of raising daughters. We also talked about how Chris’s early days a professional BMX rider helped strengthen his character in taking risks. Chris has years of fearlessness in completing dangerous stunts, with the understanding that mistakes can equal pain and injury. The desire to succeed in the face of impending pain is the mindset of a fearless person who isn’t afraid to Make Everything. 

    Chris is the best. He’ll be back for sure.

  • The Lego Riot of 1981

    A conversation came up on Knife Talk podcast about Lego and if the world renowned company changed direction by minimizing  the creativity for the user and pushed for instruction/ kit based focus. It jogged some memories of the great Lego Riot of 1981 and the violence that ensued in my first grade class. I also covered a very vivid and traumatic event in the time when Lego introduced the coveted blue astronaut while little Geoffy finds out where babies come from.

  • The Butterfly Effect

    This was going to be the Mother’s Day massacre but I don’t think I was ready for that smoke. I definitely had some mother’s day issues with a couple mothers very dear to me. Hopefully I can fix things. We swerved into maker talk with my experience as a latchkey kid and how it informed my forged Butterfly knives. Wrapped it all up and came in for a nice landing.

  • Leah Aripotch: Creature Teacher

    Leah Aripotch is back! Fresh off teaching her “Conjuring Creatures” Workshop at Center for Metal Arts. We talked about what went into the class, the preparation and execution of a very well received first outing as an instructor. We told some stories including how all her tools were stolen right before she left for the class. Leah rules and definitely someone to keep an eye on. More classes at CMA to come. Thanks again.

  • A Texas Odyssey with Ben Snure

    I just got back from staying with Ben Snure and his family on the Texas Ranch he works on and it was an incredible time. West Texas is beautiful & wild with moments of terrifying desolation. The Snure family are incredibly resourceful, self reliant and fantastic. We ate extremely well, forged, drove around and I watched as Ben tended to the cattle. Then we went to the World Championship Blacksmith forging competition where we watched the best farriers in the world compete in a 3 day event that highlighted the most technical aspects of forging in the game. Many thanks to Ben and his wonderful family for your gracious hospitality and friendship. Looking forward to going back.

  • Lila’s Odyssey to Japan

    My daughter Lila is doing a semester abroad in Japan and she called in to talk about it. We talked about the famous lines at JFK, the Odyssey of getting to Japan and how she’s settling in. It was so much fun touching base with her and we’ll definitely check up on her as the months go on. (I’ll try to equalize the volume next ep for sure. Sorry my bad.) it was a lot of laughs and I’m very proud of her. Give it a listen and tell a friend. Thank you- GF

  • Jesse Savage - Pride of the Green Mountain State

    My man Jesse Savage is back and we had a great conversation. Not only is Jesse a great blacksmith but he’s on a fantastic Podcast called “The Blacksmith’s Pub” with our guy Rick Barter. The last episode they talked bout the 2 year passing of our friend Dave Kurdyla. It was a great listen and in this episode, we were able to add some more stories of Dave and CMA  before their change in direction. I was honored to have been able to know Dave when he started forging and see his evolution as a skilled Blacksmith. It’s always great catching up with Jesse and hope to have him back soon.


    Here’s a link to the Blacksmiths Pub Episode about Dave:


    https://open.spotify.com/episode/3m6FVZMdS7x6pucalR059k?si=MmSGxmw9S_223ocOEho0uA&t=3


    Here’s a link to the crazy story Dave told us of him growing up. I read it on Episode 3 of the Full Blast Podcast. ( feel free to go to the last 20 minutes if you want his story) :

  • Jesse Savage - Pride of the Green Mountain State

    My man Jesse Savage is back and we had a great conversation. Not only is Jesse a great blacksmith but he’s on a fantastic Podcast called “The Blacksmith’s Pub” with our guy Rick Barter. The last episode they talked bout the 2 year passing of our friend Dave Kurdyla. It was a great listen and in this episode, we were able to add some more stories of Dave and CMA  before their change in direction. I was honored to have been able to know Dave when he started forging and see his evolution as a skilled Blacksmith. It’s always great catching up with Jesse and hope to have him back soon.


    Here’s a link to the Blacksmiths Pub Episode about Dave:
