Che,
I just gave your contact info to a young 15 yr. old that is VERY interested. He should be in touch soon. His name is Ben. He's in Ottawa. He's on a mission to find some coal and an anvil in Ottawa. He's gonna freak when he meets you. I think it's great that you eagerly help the beginners.
happy hammering......
