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.

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.

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.
