[TheForge] Newby Kid

All,

Just came from a clients and his 13 year old son is interested in making a
knife.  Not being of the knifey persuasion, I've never been inclined to make
one.  I told him to check out some websites and/or books and get an idea
what he wants and I'll try to get some ideas on beginner projects.  I've
enjoyed the stuff on newbys posted lately, but the knife thing is out of my
area of interest.  Any help would be appreciated.  He's fairly typical as
far as I can tell, three hours of "conversation" and I'm winded and think I
got a dozen fairly monosyllabic responses from him.  Do all young teens work
for the CIA or something?

I'm plugging for him to make it to the QuadState for a day or so, but who
knows.
