Hot iron, sparks, anvils, and pounding hammers dominate the scene as Aaron Cergol crafts axes, hammers, and knives on a restored forge.
In this original video episode (a part of our “Epic Occupations” project in collaboration with YETI), GearJunkie travels to Milwaukee where a young master blacksmith creates works of art from steel.
We focus on Cergol’s “epic” occupation as a traditional craftsman using methods developed over hundreds of years but largely forgotten today.
