Learn everything you can, but don't think you are ready to start on your own because most good smiths have been at it more than 20 years and they learn something new every day.

It is great to have someone to help you along, and good of him to take the time and help you. Everyone needs a mentor, so take advantage of what he shows/teaches you and it should make you want to learn more.

Good luck and enjoy. (Be sure and thank him because not many will take the time to help someone new)
