Blacksmith mentor request. | Demontrators/Volunteers | Forum

My name is Ben Willard and I am a senior at Monroe High School, at Monroe High school there is a mandatory project called the Culminating Challenge and as part of the Culminating Challenge every senior must find a mentor to help them compleat a task and my preliminary area of interest is to practice blacksmithing after High School. As part of the Culminating Challenge every senior must choose and follow up on completing a project under the supervision of the mentor that must be connected to the field of choice, being as my preliminary interest is Blacksmithing after I graduate I have chosen to practice and build something under the supervision of a blacksmith as my project.

As part of the mentor choosing we must all choose an expert in the field we want to follow, as this is a blacksmith forum this seems ideal for the position and as such respectfully request that someone becomes my mentor for the task of building something. The major tasks of a mentor is to A. help determine if the project is doable, B. Help complete a packet that I the student will provide and C. provide guidance as I complete the task, the entire project must be 20 hours long, not all consecutive and you do not have to be there for all. 10 hours must be the actual project while the other ten can be preparatory.

I understand how valuable time is and do so solemnly swear to work to the best of my ability to keep this process should you accept as quick and painless and possible for both of us, I would love a reply soon, bad news or not. You may contact me at (360)-348-2738 as a cell phone, by email at [EMAIL=benwilla@hotmail.com]benwilla@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] or back on this thread. please do understand as i am in high school i may not respond to phone calls before 2:30 in the evening.
