“You are going to make a lot of mistakes, but always try to learn from them.
But, it did challenge me and what I am capable of doing.” Devon has this advice for anyone who wants to get into bladesmithing.
#FORGED IN FIRE FORGES FULL#
Especially during the pandemic, so many rules and regulations that you must follow, while having to perform in a room with forges on full blast.” When I asked if he would do it again, he answered, “Absolutely! It was super stressful and intense. “The biggest surprise was how intense an actual film set is. I asked him what his biggest surprise was about filming for the show. They are knowledgeable and are willing to share that knowledge with you and they talk to the contestants off-camera a lot. Nielson and David Baker are super under-appreciated as well. Neilson and David Baker are also regulars on the show. I actually jumped up and down all excited and the film crew made us reset and shoot the scene a second time.” But Doug is not the only Forged In Fire judge. “I freaked out when I met Doug, especially after he said, “it will keel” about my weapon. Doug Marcaida is a legend in his own right.
Grady actually sat down and tried to get to know us individually, and to this day we still message each other occasionally.”Īnyone who has watched Forged In Fire knows that the three lines any contestant wants to hear are: “It will cut”, “It will kill”, and their name announced as the Forged In Fire Champion. However, Grady Powell is seriously the coolest guy, and couldn’t be happier that he replaced Wil Willis. “My reaction at first was probably like everyone else’s at first, I wasn’t too excited about it. I asked Devon how he felt about not having Wil on the show anymore. Wil Willis the host for seasons 1-7 has been replaced by Grady Powell. Season 8 has a few changes from the previous seasons. It took 8 months from beginning to end to film the 40-minute episode. I asked him some questions about being on Forged In Fire and how he felt. I have read books and watched as many YouTube videos as I could, but that alone wouldn’t prepare me for what the challenges on the show were like.” you know how proud parents can be I guess.” Devon continues, “My biggest fear about appearing on the show is that I had very little to no actual experience on forging. It was when I got an email about my scheduled interview that I had no idea that he did so. After about my first year forging, my dad went ahead without telling me and signed me up for an interview through the Forged in Fire webpage. ” I got into forging more as a hobby, on my deployment in 2011 in Baghdad I saw a man with a coal forge behind the bazaar mart using nothing but car parts for the blades and became fascinated. Gemma is from Australia and recently go her US citizenship last month, “it has been a 5-year process, and couldn’t be happier that we are finally done.”įorging was something that Devon got his interest in when he was deployed in Baghdad. Originally from Kanab Utah, Devon and his wife (Gemma), their son Greyson, and their 2 dogs and 3 cats now call Eagle Mountain Home. Devon moved from Draper, Utah to Eagle Mountain three years ago this month.
