In 2014, Adam Ashworth went through a very difficult family tragedy when both his parents died in a house fire which destroyed the family home. He was just months away from his GCSE exams and his whole world changed.
Adam, from Leeds, spoke to LeedsLive about his journey through a very difficult period until now, learning to be a blacksmith and woodworker and even creating his own business off the back of his talent. His story begins following his first year at university.
He grew up in Garforth and was always fascinated by the outdoors. He went to scouts, did archery and bird spotting and spent as much time working with his hands as he could.
