.
The school is named in honor of the owner's (Amy Pieh)  father,  the late Bill Pieh (founder and former owner of Centaur Forge, Ltd.). When Bill passed in 2000 there was a large void in the farrier and blacksmith industries. Much of Bill's days comprised of taking phone from customers looking for guidance in shoeing, equine anatomy,  blacksmithing, metallurgy, machinery  or  topics related to starting a trade association, or in support of the products we sold. He was a founding member of ABANA, UMBA, IVBA, AFA & FIA often serving as a board member. At Pieh Tool we want to carry on this legacy; and although we could never replace the loss of Bill, we want to serve as a resource and a place where people meet and share. 
Come learn in an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie! The creative energy and enthusiasm of the instructor provides adults and teenagers with unique skills and lasting memories.
