Throughout history, the American West has been shaped not only by the ranchers and cowboys who work the land but also by the skilled artisans who create the tools and treasures that define the lifestyle. In this episode, host & CEO, Michael Delbar, sits down with Chet Vogt, whose family founded Vogt Silversmiths, a name synonymous with timeless craftsmanship and Western tradition.
Chet takes us on a journey through the rich history of his family’s legacy, the meticulous artistry that goes into each handcrafted piece, and the deep connection between their ranching background and their designs. We’ll also explore how the decline of traditional trades threatens the future of Western craftsmanship—and what Vogt Silversmiths is doing to preserve this time-honored craft for generations to come.
