• Absolutely Ben Snure!

    Are you crazy of course Ben Snure is back. As always we had an awesome time catching up on what’s going on. We also followed up last weeks episode with Riley Kirkpatrick and Ben told his experience competing in the World Championship Blacksmiths. Ben explained the levels of competition and his experience in Matchplay forging. Then we dove back into Weird news about recreational Cobra Venom use, Gila monsters and selling bath water. Always good and Ben rules as you already know. All the best, GF

  • Riley Kirkpatrick Rides Again!

    Riley Kirkpatrick returns for another fun episode where we covered a lot of ground. Riley is an incredibly skilled Blacksmith, Farrier and cohost of  “Forging Brains Podcast”, a show that gives the listener a look into the farrier community and the incredible sport of Competition Blacksmithing. We talked for a good long time about the World Championship Blacksmiths- very exciting horseshoe forging competitions where a  blacksmith team forges projects in very tight deadline; like a horseshoe in 8 minutes?! ! These events take forging from the gameshow format into actual sport. I’m excited to see the future of this. Riley rules and is an excellent example of the modern day blacksmith. He’ll be back. - All the best, Geoff

  • Great Question with Pat Quinn

    Pat Quinn, the Director of Center for Metal Arts joins me for a new on-going series where the listener asks  forging questions for Pat to answer. This has been in the works for a while and we had such a good time doing it, we look forward to presenting this first episode. Pat’s extensive forging education experience gives the listener a different  perspective on a wide range of questions involving forging, tooling, and expectations . We talked a lot about CMA and the incredible resource it is to anyone who wants to get involved with forging. From Beginners to Advance Smiths, CMA is the gold standard of Professional Forging Education in an extremely safe facility. Get to know Pat and CMA in future Episodes and send in your questions.- All the best, GF

  • Always Swing At Pitches!!!

    Another solo ep where I tell stories about how I use humor as a defense mechanism. Spending years working in metal shops where I wasn’t allowed to listen to music out of fear of injury made me resort to remembering strange points in my life and investigating how they informed my decisions later. The stories I told I’m not proud of but I will never ever apologize for. Haha I really swung for the fences this time. Ugh.

  • Late Valentine’s Tough Love

    What’s up! The Storm that passed through New York threw everything out of wack so I did a little solo ep. I ain’t trying to tell you what to do like all these other fleabag podcasts. I’m recounting stories that happened to me and how they influenced the directions I took. This was a dive into why I get mad about things and what I think caused it.

  • Coy Baker of Baker Forge

    Coy Baker of Baker Forge makes some of the most beautiful, consistent and extraordinary exotic steel in the United States. From learning how to forge as a hobby, he worked in the family painting company taking it over from his father. After growing the family business, Coy started forging exotic steels and selling it out of his garage shop. As demand grew he used his business and leadership training to grow Baker forge in what it is today. It’s an amazing story of dedication and the successful execution of an idea into a business. And trust me we talked all about Gator Piss, the most talked about etchant in the world, sold globally by the way and Coy dropped a bomb on the future product Baker Forge will offer.

     Many thanks to Coy for the time and we’ll definitely do it again. Thanks again - GF

  • The End is Here with Aaron Gough!!

    We’re celebrating the end of the year with the legendary Aaron Gough of Gough Customs. My guy is back! He’s been on an 18th month hiatus from knifemaking to make a huge announcement! Aaron is easily responsible for some of you learning how to make knives. Tell the truth. Aaron’s YouTube videos definitely helped me on my way to starting out and I always tell people to watch them. And with that said if he’s helped you on your way, I think you should repay his generosity by getting on the pre order of of the Resolute MKIII( That’s me telling you what you should do. )Aaron is always good on the show and his analytical mind shed’s light on a lot of stuff going on. We had a great time and I just wanted to thank you the listener for all your great support over the year. I truly appreciate you being here. Many thanks to my sponsors and thanks to Craig Lockwood for all the behind the scenes support. This is the end of the year ep and I’ll be taking a couple weeks off. Here’s to good health, peace and prosperity for 2024- I’m with you- GF

  • Ben Kamon is not a Moron!!

    My buddy Ben Kamon is back! Love having him on and hearing his perspective. Ben is on my Mount Rushmore of Knifemakers; his experience as a machinist and ornamental blacksmith has informed his design, techniques and business style and I’m here for it. We talked about business, social media, business directions and had a great time. And Ben pointed out the potential for a big hurdle for users of instagram. Always fun hanging out with Ben. Thanks again.

  • The Black Friday Special- Ben Snure rides again!

    Every Black Friday I like to have a show where we talk a little bit about this and that and fool around with my friends reading crazy stories and commenting on them especially with Ben Snure. We also  talked about the Instagram Algorithm in the Maker community ands how it affected people right before the holiday season. We also covered why it’s happening and it’s pretty easy to understand. There’s a link in the bio of the Instagram page with an article about Section 230 and why it’s the main reason Instagram stops recommending certain content. Ben Rules and we always have a good time.

  • The Nuge is making it happen

    Tom Nugent is a knife maker in New Jersey who recently started his company Knives by Nuge after a career in law enforcement. We talked about his start in the Boy Scouts and how it influenced his decisions to become an EMT at 16 and a police officer. Tom’s Knives are primarily Bushcraft and his years of fishing and hunting have inspired his decisions. We talked about how hard starting a small knife business is and covered the unromantic parts of paying the bills. This is a very honest look in what it takes to giving the knife business a go. Tom is an incredibly hard a worker, and a great up and comer. Definitely someone to watch. Thanks again Tom- GF

  • Brian House revolves again!

    Brian House is Back! From Housemade Industries and the Work for it Podcast Brian rejoins me to talk about what’s been going on with him including roll out of the Apollo Forge, The Revolution Grinder and all the crazy things coming out of his shop. This man is busy and it was great actually meeting him in person at Maker’s Camp. We also talking about business practice and how the perspective of time and experience inform the decisions for being in business.

  • Noah Vachon Returns!

    Noah Vachon of Vachon Knives is one of the best. He’s an incredible Canadian knifemaker, who I finally had the privilege of meeting in person at Makers Camp a few weeks ago. We had a great time this episode catching up. Talking about the struggles of being a small biz. How the Panny changed sales and what’s next. Love Noah and we got a peek into how he makes his incredible micro knives. Thanks again- GF
