As I posted about previously
, one of our local artisans/blacksmiths was contacted by Mike Rowe, formerly of Dirty Jobs now running a show called Somebody's Gotta Do It
, to be featured on one of their episodes. The TV crew came to Pine last fall to record the episode and the date has finally been announced - April 9th at 9pm EST! It's on CNN if you plan to watch or record it. Got my DVR already set - I can't wait to see it!
Last September Mike Rowe, that guy who hosted Dirty Jobs for a couple years, found us at the shop and asked if he could spend the day and film an episode for his new show called "Somebody's Gotta Do It." After signing a book of a contracts, multiple phone calls, a few dozen emails...they came down! We gave Mike a tour of the shop and demonstrated what Dragon Forge LTD excels at, hand forged iron. Mike did what he does best and asked questions, told some jokes, burned his thumb, forged some iron and we even played with the power hammers. All said and done it was a long and fun day.
So here is the big news...
This Thursday, April the 9th at 9pm eastern, we are set to be on the premier episode of season 2! Mike has reminded us that CNN is a news station and if something "news worthy" breaks during that time period, the show might be delayed or rescheduled. Feel free to share and forward this email as we are trying to let everyone know about the event.
You can read more about it here on our blog rorymay.com as well as some pictures from the day.

Dragon Forge sent a message this morning that their show has been bumped to April 16th now. So if you set your DVR's, you'll have to go change the date.

Just a reminder, the show has been moved from tonight to next week. The 2nd half of the season starts tonight if you still want to watch even though it's not Dragon Forge Ltd's episode!

On "Somebody's Gotta Do It," Mike Rowe visits blacksmithing studio Dragon Forge and hopes to leave with his eyebrows intact.
