Metal Shop Masters

I understand like forged in fire and every other show like this you need one judge who knows nothing about the trade. With Jo Koy it's just painful to listen to him. He tries to make jokes that fall flat and overall brings nothing to the show. Put all this on top of the tattoo masters show is just not original nor enjoyable to watch.

Oh, when will producers learn. It is not necessary to have an irritating comic as a host. Jo Koy may be a decent standup (I don't know) but if his performance on the show is any indication, I wouldn't be going to a gig. His 'jokes' are forced, annoying, awkward, very unfunny and distracting from what could be an enjoyable show, and it is very obvious he knows as much about metalwork as I do about brain surgery.

Aside from that, the talent of the contestants is amazing. The designs and fabrication are amazing and while I have little understanding of the process, I can still appreciate the skill and the art.

The judges are a bit meh. I would prefer them to input a bit more into the process rather then just critique without context.

Overall, ditch the host. Just use the judges or include a host with a genuine personality and with an understanding of what is going.

This could have been so great , I wanted it to be so great but no. Me and my friend were super excited to see this and it's so disappointing. You have these judges that don't give these people creative liberty or at least don't like when people are creative. There super specific for giving them 10 hours . They have a lot of unqualified help and the judges are awful like honestly so snobby that it's annoying. A lot of people I feel like got disqualified for weird reasons. The cast was amazing they did so good but I feel like they were very under appreciate for the amount of work they did in that time uiu. They were just way to harsh on these people for what they gave them to work with. They also were super unclear about a lot of stuff and I feel like that was the result of people going home. Just weird energy so awkward a lot of the time. Music editing everything felt very half assed. A good watch just to see the amazing art work but judges sank this show.

I want to love this show. I like the glassblowing and blacksmith shows, so welding is right up my alley. But just in the first episode, I have a lot of issues with it.

The first challenge should have followed the same formula as Forged In Fire: the first challenge should be an equal playing field. Give them the same equipment, the same starting materials, same equipment, and requirements that are actually clear. Letting people do their own work with their own material at their own workshops is not a fair first challenge. Once the competitors show they have the creativity and the fitness to continue on, then give them the freedom to be creative. In the second round, again, sculptures were judged unfairly because the requirements weren't clear.

I'll have to watch more episodes to make a final judgment, but for now, though I love the concept, I'm frustrated with the execution. There are a lot of improvements to be made.

The contestants were good (some exceptions but those were still ok) however the challenges are stupid (rules unclear, ideas like you gotta have a horseshoe on there) and the judges clearly have almost no or no experience as welders or anything related.

Idk who signed off on those judges but whoever did apparently wasnt aware that most people watching this watch it because they have a hobby or job in this field and therefore know their stuff.

Get ones that have experience in metalworking and optionally acting/hosting not the other way around... u know like mythbusters ...just as hosts ...and let them geek out a bit.... go into details... play to your audience

maybe give failed mythbuster allen pan a call.

Just please if ur gonna have a second season change the judges.
