Cash Forge hits the road and visits Trenton Tye of Purgatory Ironworks! We drove down to Marshallville, GA to visit some friends for the weekend. Friday, I began to wonder, how close was Trenton's forge from here? We have spoken over the internet for several years, never thinking we would ever be down close enough to stop by and turns out he was just a little over an hour south from where we were. So I reached out and he was going to be home and just so happened he was having a crew working in the forge on Saturday, so we hopped in the car and drove further south to just a hop skip and a jump away from Alabama and the gulf. What a beautiful set up and an amazing forge. Shook hands, put faces to names. I want to thank him for his hospitality and for a wonderful morning, taking time away from his gathering to chew the fat, everything from blacksmithing to madness to life and passion, listening to the two old guys geeze.
From a video that was shared with me 15 years ago by Mike that we have shared far and wide, blacksmithing and beyond, that began this connection, his passion for the craft has not dwindled and that fire is still stoked.
