 If you are low on funds, perhaps a work program is right for you. Whether you're skilled in blacksmithing or not, there is a potential program where you can exchange several weeks of your time to further your blacksmithing skills in a work program. (I touch on which ones offer scholarship programs or work programs in the video).
