Day two of travelling via Instagram, blacksmith and welding translated into Russian hashtags. @ Molten Metal Works

Since we can’t travel, or leave the house really, one of my new favorite past times is translating my usual hashtags into other languages and seeing what other countries make. Today’s trip: Japan! Translating first blacksmith then welding. Let me know if you find some other good ones. -matt @ Japan

With the shop temporarily closed, I've put together a shopping guide and tools recommendations list to get your own shop together. Y'know, just in case this whole thing devolves into a Mad Max scenario and you need to convert your Prius into a battle wagon. Either that or you wanna fix a fence... https://moltenmetalworks.net/shoppingguide

I did a podcast! Hear about the origins and growth of MMW as I chat with Alex Bruno of @bizmodepodcast. Best part: it was recorded about two weeks ago so you can travel back in time back to when everything was just dandy. Stuck at home? Hear how Matt Jones of @moltenmetalworks created a space for people to learn how to work with metal and build things for real on the #BizModePodcast #businesslaw #entrepreneur #maker #makersgonnamake #creator
