Burnout, Balance, and Going Back to a Day Job
<p> This week Chris from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/forge.works/" rel="nofollow">Forge Works</a> joins the show to talk honestly about stepping back from full time knifemaking into a normal day job, and why it was the right call. After years of grinding solo, chasing social media growth, and dealing with unexpected hits like a copyright claim over a seven second sound clip, Chris hit a breaking point. Taking on outside work gave him steady income, covered health insurance, and freed up mental space he didn't know he was missing, all while still running his workshop on the side. It's a candid conversation about burnout, financial pressure, and why slowing down sometimes saves the business you're trying to protect.</p><p><strong>Help support us on Patreon</strong>!

Marco Gadavics
<p><a href="https://www.messerschmiede-gadavics.com/" rel="nofollow">Marco Gadavics</a> is a part time bladesmith from Upper Austria who recently won the Kukri with a Twist challenge at Knife Show Solingen and Best Knife of Show at Knife Show Austria in 2025. Marco talks about building up his knifemaking skills while working full time as a prison officer, his journey from blacksmithing school to winning awards, selling out at Blade Show West in Utah, and his new investment in a rare 75kg Kuhn Reiter power hammer. The conversation goes deep on forging equipment, what it actually takes to move serious steel, and what the future might look like if his work situation changes.</p><p><strong>Help support us on Patreon</strong>!
