It seems it's a process of trial and error. (Kids, if you're watching this at home, do not put your hand in the fire like my husband is doing.) But where there's a will, there's a way. Through sheer determination and a lot of hand cranking it eventually started looking like this.
And as you can see by his goofy-as-all-get-out grin, the kid is happy. And that's really what it's all about, isn't it?
For now the forge will stay here in the garage under close adult supervision, eventually we'll grab some strong strappin' guy to help haul it down to the barn. Then his blacksmith shop can officially open for business.

It's very cool to see a kid find a unique interest at such an early age. We have one of those kids too, but they're pretty rare! Three cheers to supportive parents like you who nurture these special kids and their passions!
Thats what kind a smile I would expect to see on a buddingg blacksmith! Congrats, Christine!
Awe - that last picture is priceless. You are special parents to feed this fire.
