January 15, 20179 yr Got my 14yr old son's workspace all set up today with the addition of his Grandfather Pop's old vise. He whipped out his very first project for mom. Now she wants a set of knives and forks for each place sitting.
January 15, 20179 yr Looks great! Nice and symmetrical. The knives can wait. Do simple projects until a leaf is nothing. Then you can start thinking about knives. I would love to see a picture of his setup. Looks like he's off to a great start.
January 15, 20179 yr Great looking first project. And congrats with setting him up on the blacksmithing path.
January 16, 20179 yr Greetings Coach, love it.. indeed a great start. Looking closer I see a new apron , clean hands and what I believe to be a single tine fork in his left hand. Yep he's hooked. He will do well. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim

Forge on and make beautiful things Jim He is in fact holding a single tine fork. It is the one I broke. He was pretty proud to show up the old man.
January 16, 20179 yr And nice to see he has a French chalk holder and chalk in his apron pocket. Start as you mean to go on. And is that a logo on the fork handle? A pyramid and crossed hammers perhaps?

January 17, 20179 yr Author He decided to put hif fork to use tonight and grilled these ribs and had them ready for me when I got home from work. I could get used to this. Thanks for all of your comments and encouragement.
