Open Question: Is my son ready for glassblowing/lampworking?
My son is 13 years old turning 14 in may. He has been bugging me for a whole month about getting him his own lampworking kit. He has this all planned out and has almost all the money he needs for it. He mentioned that he would work in the back yard with a fan blowing the fumes away and the propane tank far away. He has also told me about flashback arrestors which stop the flow of fire of it flashes back into the gas line. Now Is he too young for this hobby or is it fine? I think this isnt a safe hobby and if it is tell me why.
