Tom Willoughby:
Tom Willoughby has been a farrier for 33 years. In that time, he learned the intricacies and characteristics of steel and how it moves. Although he has been working with steel for over half his life, he has been an artist his whole life. Tom can make words come to life in a song. He also has turned blocks of wood into intricate and beautiful works of art. He has spent countless hours working at and perfecting each talent. 

Although he has had a workshop for years, Tom officially established Willoughby Forge two years ago. He built a shop to house the coal forge, plethora of tools, several anvils, the Big Blue air hammer, and a large work table. Magic happens in this work studio as hand drawn ideas come to life in either steel or wood, or a combination of the two mediums.
