In this episode of the Popular Mechanics series “MADE HERE,” Chelsea Miller takes us inside her workshop as she forges a custom cooking knife.

The daughter of a carpenter, Chelsea Miller was already a woodworking and blacksmith apprentice by the time she graduated high school. When she returned to her Vermont home as an adult, Miller wandered into her father’s old workshop and an idea was sparked. Soon after, Miller began crafting knives in a Brooklyn, New York studio.
