Use leadless solid solder- certified for drinking water, etc.

Mikey,
 
I like the idea of practicing on tin.  The only problem with that is I don't
have any except in the form of solder wire.  I have plenty of lead, but I
sure don't want kids playing with that!  I guess I'll have to look around
for a source of tin.  Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Aubrey

Aubrey,
At least one blacksmith suggested starting students out learning to hammer
by
using clay. There are also very soft metals like tin that a child could
practice
on without heat.
