Thanks again. This hit home for me. I am a retired farrier who always had an interest in blacksmithing. Now I have a little shop where I practice my craft.

I remember meeting Joe at Yesteryear forge in Amelia Va. back in 2010. I also recognized you Drew in some of the photos I have from back then. You are doing a real service to the blacksmithing community. It's so nice to hear the origins of how other smiths got to where they are now. Thank you Drew.

Glad I stumbled across your channel - this was truly inspirational for me as someone starting their smithing journey after several decades of working in another field. So much good advice that I will need to watch this several more times in the coming years. I've had my eye on Mark Aspery's books for a while, so after seeing Joe's work and hearing him recommend them, I've shelled out some of my hard earned on one.
Also, thanks for having such a wide angle of the shop in the interview 0 it's great to see where others work.
