Catching up with Jesse Savage

Jesse Savage is back and on the way to Center of Metal Arts to teach a weekend workshop with his wife Carrie. We always have a good time talking about blacksmithing, history and what we’ve been up to. We also remembered my teacher Uri Hofi, who was a big influence on a lot of people’s lives. We talked about his late in life start in blacksmithing, his teachers, students and legacy and what defines his hammer style. It took a few weeks to figure out how to eulogize Hofi and I’m glad Jesse was on the ep to help me out. Many Thanks Jesse. Always glad to have you on. - GF Follow Jesse on Instagram:https://instagram.com/jessesavageblacksmith?igshid=ZjE2NGZiNDQ=Follow The Full Blast Podcast on Instagram:https://instagram.com/thefullblastpodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Please subscribe, leave a review and tell your friends about the show. it helps me out a lot! Thank you Baker Forge & Tool for your beautiful Steel.
