About this episode

Toby discusses workshop renovations and shares thoughts on modern celebrity culture.

Episode 7 This week on theFire & Steel Podcast… it’sa bit of a workshop update episode… with the usual detour into everythingelse . Toby’s been deep in forgemode this week, making some big changes to the workshop — taking downwalls, shifting equipment, and reshuffling the space to make room forsomething new: a silver ring-making jewellery class coming soon toMurrill Forge. The only downside? The place is currently an absolute bombsite . Dust, tools, chaos… thefull “mid-renovation” experience. From there, theconversation (as always) wanders into the real important stuff — including abit of a rant about modern celebrity culture , and how some people in thepublic eye can come across as performatively caring , disingenuous, andmore focused on appearances than real impact. It’s one of thoseepisodes that starts in the forge… and ends up somewhere completely different.
