[TheForge] Science fair project

[Gladish Family]

How about elementary heat treating?
Draw a taper and quench it, and break it off at different points. Play
around with different steels and use a magnifying glass to check out the
size of grain and try checking hardness with a file.

> project on blacksmithing as no one at his school has done a
> project on this subject in recent past (that we know about).
> My question would be: does any one know of a good project for
> him, or any recourses we could use? Please keep in mind that he
> is ten years old, and I want him to pretty much do the job him
> self with only my supervision.
