I was so excited to share this project with y’all before UPS ruined everything. I got the opportunity to make a large sign for actor, author, and veteran Vincent “Rocco” Vargas. You may know him as Gilly from the hit tv show Mayans MC or in his music videos with Mat Best. The sign would be the backdrop in his podcast show VinnyRoc. Pretty cool, right?

Well, I wrapped it it 2 rolls of large bubble wrap and shipping foam, followed by shrink wrap. Built a wooden crate and then covered that in cardboard. In addition to that, I put a large 8x11 sign that said FRAGILE in red! I got a call from him today saying that it was damaged upon arrival and he’s trying to salvage it. I had a bad feeling about this from the start. UPS lost a $3500 shipment of mine about a year ago and didn’t cover it. They are about as useless as it comes. Pretty depressing. Anyways, he’s a great guy, always helping out Veterans. Go follow his pages.

If you remember, Gavin wrecked his first car into a power pole last winter and totaled it. We saved part of his bumper so we can do this. He wanted to make it into wall art since he’s into cars. Maple plywood cut out with our CNC, stained in American Walnut with blue epoxy resin filled letters. What do you think?

I love doing these for the Clovis East High School Air Force JROTC seniors each year. One for each senior who did all 4 years in JROTC. My son Gavin and his friend Elijah in the last picture. Elijah is graduating this year and going to school to become an airline pilot. Great group of young adults! I think they turned out pretty cool.

I want to create a small apparel line. I don’t want it to be ”Bro Tactical” like Grunt Style or Nine Line. There’s just enough of them out there. What would you like to see on tshirts? Quotes? Images, Political or Politically Incorrect, Classy/clean? Let’s hear your ideas.

I just got our logo digitized for embroidery. It turned out great. Coming soon…patches, hats, polos, t-shirts!

This is our second version of the Hot Wheels/Matchbox car holder. Holds 40 cars 1/64 scale. Solid Butcher Block wood. Its near perfect but not our final design. For that reason, this one and only is available at a discounted price of $75 with free laser engraving of a name or design on the truck. It stands on a table or shelf. It was designed to hang on the wall but I‘m still trying to figure out how. Great Christmas gift.
