The hot take inbox is on fire!

from High Carbon · host Blades, craftsmanship, creativity, and laughs!

No guest this week, just pure shop talk and chaos. Keith puts the new white VSM belts through their paces sanding a mountain of stabilized blocks, the crew debates who’s actually going to Solingen, and the hot take inbox is on fire, from “stop buying retail” to clown vomit handles and why fancy Damascus won’t save bad craftsmanship. Then, somehow, it all ends with toilet paper technique, wet wipes, and Pauli’s dream of a Japanese toilet.Help support us on Patreon!
