I started this journey of scratching on some silver in December of 2009. Coming from a ranching & agriculture background, everyone knows you have to have 25 ways to make an income should you ever find yourself without permanent employment, or just needing a little spendin’ money. Thus started my “hobby” of silversmithing. Now here I am, closing in on almost 10 years of this “hobby” and it’s taken me places I never imagined I would go. God’s kinda funny that way huh?“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”Philippians 1:6God has definitely blessed this business and taken it, and me personally, farther than my wildest imagination.Resources:https://www.instagram.com/kershnercustomsilver/https://kershnercustomsilver.com/Photo Credit:https://www.instagram.com/mcfarlandproductions/Show Music:“The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmonhttps://trentwillmon.com/“Cowboy” By: Kolt Barberhttps://www.koltbarber.com/MC Podcast Production & Editing: Matt Kirschnerhttps://www.instagram.com/mattjkirschner/
