Grandson wants to get into Heavy Metal
No, not the noise they call rock music these days, but real metals...... as in metallurgy. So his dad gave him this little working foundry (2,000 degree capability) for his 16th birthday. Am glad the young man has an interest in something besides pop culture. His GGgrandfather was a blacksmith by trade in the late 1800s, so it might be in his genes.

I just hope he doesn’t burn their property down.

NiceThat puppy could probably be sat on it's side for use as a small forge. Get that young man an anvil (or section of RR rail) and some hammers!

Already have a small anvil cut from a RR rail. Yes, will let him have it. His dad is in the house renovation business, so they have a bunch of hammers of all types.
