- My name is Gene Hodges.
-
We're here in Springfield, Virginia.
-
Come check out my forge. This is my sword forge.
-
It's a five-burner. Fifty inches.
-
They always make you make something long and big.
-
Drill press. Grinder.
-
A Peter Wright anvil.
-
Let's go over here and check out our neighborhood tepee.
-
We fit about 40 people in here on the benches.
-
All these various things that I'm making for my kids.
-
When they turn 18, I give them a rifle, tomahawk,
-
powder horn, knife, say,
-
"Go forth and conquer,"
-
'cause that's all they're getting from me,
-
So... [Laughs]
-
And that, and a college degree
-
- Hey, I'm Tripp.
-
Welcome to Rock Hill, South Carolina.
-
This is my business
-
and my forge.
-
We're an engineering and metal fabrication company.
-
We've got welding bays and machines
-
everywhere.
-
This is my modified ironworker.
-
I can utilize this as my press.
-
This anvil's been in my family for seven generations,
-
so my son and I get out here
-
and forge knives together.
-
This is a forge that I bought from a buddy of mine.
-
It's a double-burner forge.
-
It gets really freakin' hot in the inside of it.
-
And we'll see what happens.
-
- It's a mess in here.
-
Especially right now, it's getting
-
a little bit unorganized,
-
but I know where everything's at.
-
Vast majority of these tools
-
came from my dad out in Oregon.
-
Grew up watching my dad out in the garage.
-
I never saw him hire anybody to do anything.
-
Let's go down to the basement.
-
Turned it into sort of my Marine Corps man cave.
-
Over here's my sandbag bar.
-
Cost me about 50 bucks to make.
-
One fun thing we do in the basement
-
is the cowboy fast draw.
-
It's got little bullets with batteries,
-
and when you fire, it shoots a laser.
-
All right. That's it.
-
Thanks for checking out my place.
-
- I've got a couple milling machines.
-
This is my grinder.
-
It is a variable-speed grinder
-
just like the ones on the "Forged in Fire" set.
-
Another piece that has been in my family
-
for a few generations, an old industrial press.
-
I do a lot of my own testing here.
-
I'll heat-treat a blade a certain way
-
and then beat the crap out of it.
-
I'll grind different edge angles
-
and do a lot of testing on these blades
-
here in the shop.
-
We're all done here.
-
Appreciate you coming in,
-
and y'all are welcome down here anytime
-
back here in Rock Hill, South Carolina,
-
so come on by and visit.
