Jacob Shafe, now 15, runs his own blacksmith business on the side in between practising karate and going to school. As a teenager, he became one of the youngest blacksmiths in Britain after he taught himself through YouTube tutorials aged just 13. There are only thought to be around 600 blacksmiths left in the UK but Jacob hopes to carry on the traditional trade when he leaves school in three years.
