It made it easy for us to connect on a multitude of issues that some may find disturbing.

Episode 144 with Codie Aljets. A long awaited conversation between myself and Codie finally took place and we put it on the record for all you to hear. I've been online buddies with Codie for a few years now. We have shared stories, tips and just life updates. This man has a lot to share and we definitely didn't cover all of it. His life in art and Metalwork was our focus, but we also touch a little on some of his previous endeavors and life struggles. One thing I found very informative about this conversation was Codies explanation of using a wooden block to shape metal while still cold. He might have a forge and anvil, but to the surprise of many that see his art, most of his work is done cold. Many thanks to Codie for sharing his story with the world and many thanks to the listeners. I hope you all find this one to be informative and helpful. CanIron 2025 That's right ladies and gents.
