    I agree with Doug Zaruba. It is much easier for children to learn to
    make jewelry using silver. Brass is hard and stiff and difficult to
    saw. Copper is  o.k. to work with, but your child will get much more
    satisfaction out of making something with silver. Best of all,
    scraps, and any projects that  are botched can be  sold as scrap, or
    melted down for other projects, so there is no waste. Glad you are
    encouraging your son to  try his hand at jewelry making.
