    "I'm acting all calm right now but the last two hours I'm gonna get all crazy" proceeds to be calm the whole time. What a master of his craft. That was a joy to watch. Also, he seems like such a cool dude.

    I miss you on the show, I like the other guys on there also. It always seemed like you pulled for the smiths in a different way. When J. Nielson would see a flaw he would try to destroy it. You always seemed to be more fair. All that aside i did not realize how Zen and chill you are. It is a pleasure to watch you work and overcome the challenges that pop up. Like going to a coffin shape when you realized it was going to be a wrap. Definitely the "Bob Ross" of master smithing.

      I was lucky enough to talk to him for a few minutes at blade show last year. What was awesome to me is that he approached me, not the other way around. I didnt want to bother him. He gave me some very solid advise on power hammers.

    • @redlionforge9173

      This craft has some really good people within it. I’ve been making things with my hands since I was a kid but after my 10 years in the Army I found Blacksmithing/bladesmithing I knew I found my forever home. I’m 35 but I look up to guys like Jason that so passionately advocate for the prestige of being a maker.

    • @zaneamberbeard135
      @zaneamberbeard135 Před 4 lety +2

      I totally agree with you. This craft is full of makers that actually enjoy helping other makers so we can all learn from each other. I've been smithing for 3 years and one of the highlights so far has been talking to Jason.

Your talent speaks for itself, so what really surprised me was how much your personality "improved" outside the History Channel's studio. You're a cool cat and gifted craftsman rather than someone who's only tolerated because of their superb skills.
    I can't wait to catch up on your videos and plan to dive into blade smithing (and your online classes) once I get some garage space to call mine.

Still getting better at it. But I haven't really got into forging. Finding a bloody anvil is frustrating. Should have got that one when I was in the army. Oh well. Im sure one will pop up at some point. Until then I will keep dreaming and watching your videos.
