Thomas Powers - Yes sorry I should have been more specific with my process, i am not looking to forge out the final shape of the thing like I made it sound. I will look into those resources I really appreciate it, thanks.
Sly - You are correct it would not be that difficult to just buy a piece of raw stock and go from there, but I was looking for more of having her and I forge it together. She is such an awesome go-getter and interested in machining, forging, you name it. I would like this to be a new experience we get to do together and make something meaningful as well, thanks.
Mikedmck - Thanks, yeah I think this will be a fun experience at any rate and would like to do it with the guidance of someone who has worked around a forge longer than she or I have.
Thanks for the reply from each of you, this has helped I do appreciate it, cheers!
