BD McGee of BD Blades

BD McGee of BD Blades is a Florida pirate, former New Jersey cop, and maker of all things sharp, metal, and pointy.

We’ll get into the dare from his wife that got him making his first blade (out of a what?) to winning the big prize on Forged In Fire on the History Channel. But more importantly you’ll hear the absolute joy that he gets out of creating a custom blade for one of his many adoring customers.

And you’ll hear a little bit of his grandchild crying in the background. 🙂

Daniel Siemens of Tradewind Bottling

We’re talkin’ ship! Ships in bottles that is. Daniel Siemens is from the landlocked state of Colorado. But that doesn’t stop him from keeping up the tradition of building ships in bottles. Definitely a niche hobby that deserves more people doing it.

Dan will give us some of the tricks of the trade including his most useful tool, the materials he uses, and of course, how he gets the darn thing in the bottle.

Daniel also gives lots of resources for getting started if you’re interested in trying out some bottled ship building yourself.

Thanks to Mark Kehoe for the heads up on this one. You can read about Mark’s commission of The Mercury bottled ship here.

Author Ozgur K Sahin

Ozgur K Sahin is the author of “The Wrath of Brotherhood”, the first book in the Brethren of the Spanish Main series. And he’s also a really interesting dude. A dilettante in the best sense of the word and a guy who ponders the big stuff in life.

In this episode we talk pirates (duh), astrophysics, meditation, and big questions about discovery. You’ll find that “discovery” is a big theme in both Ozgur’s books and our discussion. Fun, deep stuff!
