  • EP 137 Beau Beckett of Beckett's Blacksmithing

    The real Beau Beckett you hosers! Not that fake account trying to sell you tools. This guy is the real deal. Over 30 years of blacksmithing under this guy's belt. Architectural, industrial, artistic and even knives! This guy does it all, but has found himself diving deep into historical blacksmithing lately. Specializing in the war of 1812 between Canada and USA. Sorry American friends we won that one eh! But Beau enlightens us on some details there. A great chat as always, was a late night one so the mood is a little on the chill side for this one.

    Sit back, relax and grab a strange brew eh! Or maybe get in the shop and finish up that project, the hand sanding, s
    or get that place spiffed up already. Either way we hope all you hosers enjoy. Take off and have a good day eh!

  • EP 136 with Milan Gravier Cutlier from France

    This week we bring on a special guest. Our man Steve has been a huge fan of Milan for a while now and put in a special request to get him on. Milan agreed and away we went.
    Milan is a knife maker that specializes in the Japanese style of knives, but even more so is the fact he specializes in stone sharpening. This is where Steve found himself really wanting to know more. We chat a lot about this and much of Milan's life as a knife maker. Another great episode! Thanks Milan!

    Hope all you hosers enjoy eh!

  • EP 135 Skye Wallace

    This episode has been sitting in the bunker for a couple weeks. Way too much going on right now and I partially explain at the end of the video, but that is seriously just a droplet of what all has gone on. Top it off I was a little unsure about some of the things we spoke about, but regardless here it is. I don't think I really edited anything out including the ad read for the knife show. Alas we are back at it and have another great epiaode with a knife maker from France coming up next week!

    Skye was a pleasure to chat with and I'm now constantly listening to the DND podcast that she is a part of. Highly suggest checking out @planetarcanapod

    @skyewallacemusic and I spoke about some cool stuff that I'm sure many of us in the blacksmithing industry will find a relation too. Art comes in many forms and she is no stranger to that. Funny how someone who doesn't work with metal posting a Bob and Doug video ended up becoming a guest on a blacksmith show. Oddly enough she has actually moved hot steel on an anvil before.
    Listen and find out more! Hope yah hosers enjoy eh!

    Good day!

  • EP 128 with Ilan Shenfield of Shenfield Forge near Edmonton, Alberta

    This week we have Ilan Shenfield on the show from the Edmonton Alberta area.
    We sat down a couple times with Ilan to record a show. The first recording was solo hosted and went into some deep dives on personal matters that go well beyond blacksmithing. Wasn't sure about releasing that so we sat down again. The second recording, this one, stayed focused much more on metal work. Some good info in this show, but some good stuff missing that was in that first recording so that one might just get released soon. Until then, or the what ever comes next, I hope this one brings something good to your ears. Cheers and good beers eh!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Episode 121 with Shane Kribernegg of Friday Forge in Twin Lakes, BC, Canada

    Welcome back to the Great White North ladies and gents. This week I (Lando) sat down with Shane to hear about how his journey into blacksmithing began at a very early age, but it took some push to get him interested in what his dad had already been doing for years. Shane's father comes from a life of farrier work and at one point in life Shane finally faced the hard truth that the passion for metal work ran in his blood too.

    This episode was originally recorded over a month ago. Technical issues caused a large portion of the files to be lost and thus we had to sit down again which was just a couple weeks ago now. In this episode you will hear about Shane's big new purchase for his big new shop! There were some difficulties in getting the new shop going but it's up now and looking mint.

    Shane is no stranger to blacksmithing outside of farrier work as well. You will hear about how he has spent some time learning from some really great smiths such as Shawn Cunningham and Jeri Sparshu as well as John Williams!

    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 120 with Andrew Cirtwell of Deer Run Forge in Burlington, Ontario, Canada eh!


    Finally! Another episode unleashed to the public. This one took a while to get out, but it's a good one. We talk all sorts of blacksmithing, business and life. Andrew is definitely a gent we enjoyed chatting with and of course the love between Nick and Lando(weird to put my name when I'm the one writing this) is in full effect. There was a ton of stuff that was going on in between this recording and its release. You'll probably hear about that in the next couple episodes. Until then, enjoy and feel free to reach out to us via Instagram or email. And don't forget to rate the show on what ever platform you're in. A small review can go a long ways for us and is always appreciated!

  • EP 119 with Derek Melton of Melton Forge Works and Brian Housewert of Housemade.us

    Don't let the title fool you. The only battles occurring in this episode are personal struggles and we kinda go a little deep in this one.
    We discuss business with blacksmithing and the mental health that surrounds operating a business. Family life and personal well being go along with much of this too.

  • Episode 118 David Walker of Fire Iron Forge in Rathdrum, Idaho.

    Another great episode with a very solid gent. David is on the Abana board and this has a ton of insight as to how Abana works. We get into what is going to be happening at the 50th anniversary coming up this June. David is one of the people responsible for organizing the team forging event which lines up well for David as he has been working hard at developing an educational shop. Amongst himself and some other local Smith's there is some amazing opportunities for people wanting to learn blacksmithing. We all saw a influx in blacksmithing with forged in fire, but as David tells us, you soon find out that making knives has much more than just forging. As he has progressed in his skills with blacksmithing he has also been teaching these skills with a surmounted level of success.
    It's exciting to hear a success story in the works like David's and we are Forge Side Chat all look forward to seeing where this goes for him.
