ironworks

Let me introduce myself. My name is Thomas Ries. I have been married to my wife, Kim for about 15 years now and have been welding and creating for around 25 years. My family came to the United States before I was born from South Africa. I was raised to believe that hard work and creativity can go hand in hand to create beautiful works of art. My father and brother, as well as myself, are very artistic, and my grandfather, on my mothers side, used to build unique hand crafted furniture. I will be joining my wife in the business in January 2011, creating unique hand forged items all hand made by me here in Florence, MS. Please check back frequently for updates on products.
