Thanks for listening to Episode 37 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Josh Weston.I am very excited to have my friend, Josh Weston, joining the Artisans of Steel podcast this month. I first discovered Josh's work in 2012, when I came across a forging progression for a tomahawk made out of a railroad spike. I didn't know it was Josh's until I saw him compete on Forged in Fire. Josh is now part of the very exciting Dragon Forge Experience, and is one of the most creative guys I know, making both fantastical and historical reproductions of swords and knives. Over the years we've gotten to know each other, and become good buddies, and I'm really excited to dive in and share some of his creativity with you!You can see more of Josh's work on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/joshaweston and https://www.instagram.com/dragonforgeexpOr check out his website, here:https://www.joshaweston.com/Thanks so much to this month's Super Sponsors:
