JACOB Grant-Jones was awarded a prestigious certificate for demonstrating forgework at Devon County Show.
Using borrowed tools, the Budmouth Technology College student forged a snail and impressed not just the public but also a judge who awarded a Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths highly commended certificate.
Proud dad Simon Grant- Jones, who teaches blacksmithing at Kingston Maurward, said: "Jacob wasn't competing but someone asked him if he wanted to have a go. He must be one of the youngest people to be presented with a Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths certificate - I was 30 when I got one."
