ThomasPowers Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 You'll be surprised at the lack of time you have for smithing for a couple of years! Start acquiring child size PPE and making a "safe" place in the shop for that tyke to watch you as he gets older. Don't push the craft; let them come to it naturally. And of course birth weight is not strongly correlated with adult weight: My 9 pound daughter is about 125# as an adult---she has also asked me to teach her to smith, again, as she is interested in making knives---bwahahahahaha, (though she won't have much time for a while as she's going to Vet school). Big babies are often easier to care for; especially compared to preemies! Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
