any blacksmiths on the line?

I couldn't agree with you more, Steve.
Also, I may add, that to me it's refreshing to see a young person having interest in making things with their hands instead of the stereotypical ''kids these days'' approach to laying around and playing video games...

That's one of the reasons I gave in and let him buy the forge (apart from the fact he paid for the whole thing himself)

Having him be outside (well, in the shed) is a huge plus

And since we don't fully trust him not to burn the shed down, it has been some really cool father/son time

That picture of him twisting the handle, is actually a screen grab from a video he took of us working that steel together
