Are you crazy of course Ben Snure is back. As always we had an awesome time catching up on what’s going on. We also followed up last weeks episode with Riley Kirkpatrick and Ben told his experience competing in the World Championship Blacksmiths. Ben explained the levels of competition and his experience in Matchplay forging. Then we dove back into Weird news about recreational Cobra Venom use, Gila monsters and selling bath water. Always good and Ben rules as you already know. All the best, GF
