A little background about Asher:

At the age of 11, Asher became the youngest registered and legal blacksmith in the entire United States! He developed the passion after attending a fair in Denver in 2013. Fascinated by it, he studied it on his own by visiting the library, reading, and watching many hours of YouTube videos. After a bit of tinkering in the backyard, he and his father found a local blacksmith who offered lessons. After taking the beginner's class he was hooked and, despite the high costs, took many more classes. After taking the test a couple of times, he passed and received a diploma and notation of becoming the youngest blacksmith in the country. Today Asher has a full workshop with tools, anvils, a forge, all housed in a shop he built from scratch.
