Episode 9
Onur is back in thehot seat this week, joining Toby and Chris for a wide-ranging conversation thatmanages to be both educational and unintentionally entertaining.
As always, the episodekicks off with some honest talk about social media — how we’re using it, howit’s evolving, and the ongoing challenge of balancing real craftsmanship withthe modern expectation to document everything.
Toby shares detailsabout several exciting commissions currently on the horizon, including a numberof knives and the potential for an upcoming sword build. The discussionexplores what goes into projects at that level, the responsibility behindcommissioned work, and why these builds are rarely as straightforward as peoplemight assume.
Chris talks us throughhis laser welder — what drove the decision to invest in one, how he’s gettingon with it so far, and how tools like this are beginning to reshape workflowsfor modern makers.
Meanwhile, in what maybe one of the more “Onur” moments to date, we hear the story of his landlordunexpectedly catching him half-naked in the workshop… a reminder that no matterhow professional we try to be, workshop life rarely goes entirely to plan.
Despite the occasionalchaos, this episode is packed with practical insight, thoughtful conversation,and a genuine look behind the curtain at what life is really like for workingmakers.
