Thanks for everyone's input! Does anyone have any input as to where I can find an instructor? We live in Salem, Massachusetts.

Thanks for all the replies. They are making me realize I don’t know enough to help him be safe. We live in Salem, MA and would love it if anyone knows where we can find instruction. Thanks.

Hi everyone, My son, who is 13, has put together a forge of sorts using a grill and charcoal embers. Using a blower and a graphite crucible he has melted aluminum. When I realized what he was doing I made him stop because he has no safety equipment. I don’t want to keep him from doing it as it Is something he’s really interested in but I’m terrified he could hurt himself. He’s smart and careful but I know accidents happen. Does anyone have any advice as to how to keep him safe? Classes, information, advice? Thanks!
