Tom apprenticed to a blacksmith who insisted if he were to be trained, Tom must promise to make each horseshoe from scratch. He continues this tradition of craftsmanship and excellence in his sheet and metalwork. Tom and Linda and their daughter live on Hammer Song Farm outside Mt. Vernon, Ohio where he works.

Bugs In Iron (with an attitude) (metal sculpture) Tom demonstrates basic techniques in metal fabrication and joining. From simple bending and cutting through welding and brazing, Tom shows some of the ways that he creates his unique, humorous, and outlandishly large take on the insect world. Watch after the final titles as he hooks viewers with an encore performance of what he calls "basic" forging techniques. 60 min. $25.00 US "Just got done watching the tom bland video. What a good informative tape. I am an aspiring metal artist and really enjoyed it." --Innocent Wodzisz, Jr.
