episode The Art of Blacksmithing with Coy Baker cover

The Art of Blacksmithing with Coy Baker

Coy Baker, Founder and CEO of Baker Forge & Tool, joins us to talk about building one of America's leading Damascus steel manufacturers in Boone, NC. Coy started his blacksmithing journey in the mountains of Western North Carolina in 2016, engineered his own 25-ton hydraulic forging press, and in 2020 developed a method for fusion welding copper to carbon steel — the breakthrough behind the brand's signature CopperMai and BronzeMai laminated steels. In this episode we cover manufacturing in the High Country of North Carolina, what it takes to run a family-owned operation alongside his brother Jay (Shop Manager) and father Bruce (CFO), the innovation behind proprietary steels like Mosaic Damascus and Stainless SanMai, and how Baker Forge supplies knife makers, artisans, and major knife companies from a single shop on Waterstone Drive — with steel shipping to Asia, Australia, Europe, and across North America. 🔗 ⁠Baker Forge [https://www.bakerforge.com] 🌐 ⁠⁠Real Boone Studios⁠⁠ [https://www.realboone.com/] 📸 ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/realboonestudios] 💬 ⁠⁠evan@realboone.com [evan@realboone.com]

How a 26 Year Old Became The Mayor of Boone with Dalton George

Dalton George is the Mayor of Boone, NC and the youngest mayor in North Carolina. Before the title, he's a kid from Midway who came to App State and fell in love with the mountains. In this episode, we get to know Dalton — who he is outside of politics, what shaped him, and how he ended up running a town at 26. We also get into what the job actually looks like day to day, how Town Council works, and what it's like leading a college town where students outnumber year-round residents. We talk housing affordability, student voting, the Howard Street project, and where Boone is headed over the next five years.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
