About this episode

Jesse Savage returns to discuss blacksmithing and share stories about their late friend Dave Kurdyla.

My man Jesse Savage is back and we had a great conversation. Not only is Jesse a great blacksmith but he’s on a fantastic Podcast called “The Blacksmith’s Pub” with our guy Rick Barter. The last episode they talked bout the 2 year passing of our friend Dave Kurdyla. It was a great listen and in this episode, we were able to add some more stories of Dave and CMA before their change in direction. I was honored to have been able to know Dave when he started forging and see his evolution as a skilled Blacksmith. It’s always great catching up with Jesse and hope to have him back soon.

I read it on Episode 3 of the Full Blast Podcast.
