There is not much I can directly do for to help the men and women fighting in the middle east. As a small business owner though, I have the means to contribute my wares to them to offset the costs that they would normally pay for out of their own pocket. Today I did a small plate for a Marine that was leaving the area. When they came to get it, I told her it was without charge and with my heartfelt thanks. She grabbed me a gave me a great big hug! Hu-rah!! Made my day and warmed my heart! May God bless her and ALL the soldiers, sailor and Marines fighting for us!

Would you put this on your door?

In lieu of Mr. Mrs. or Miss, it can now be Mx. for those preferring gender neutrality

A Gender-Neutral Honorific Mx: Words We're Watching

One of the most unique trophies I have ever done. At just over 40 pounds it is also the heaviest. Parts from a piston engine, rotary engine and brake rotor all welded together, powder coated and pinstriped. The IMPORT vs DOMESTIC race at the frag strip this weekend is going to be awesome!

Everyone loves to be appreciated and recognized!

True?

A true professional would have at least tried to stop this! Others just blindly do what you ask for....

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Not for anything in particular. It's just something we like to say around here!

There is something quite humbling about engraving an urn for someone younger than myself. And so I count my blessings!

One of our clients...an 80+ year old woman, came in to pick up a name plate for their Great Grand Daughter's hand made Christmas present. She called to make sure it was ready and that I would be in, and then added, "Do you have problems with a concealed carry firearm?" I told her that concealed or open carry is fine.

My mind immediately went into visual overload of this 5 foot tall, 100 pound wrinkled up grandma with a huge Clint Eastwood style 45 revolver saying "Make my day!"

When she came in, I just had to ask her about it. She said "I am old and frail, but I'm packin' and I won't go down without a fight"! Although it's not a huge 45, it was still a snub nose 38 that I would not challenge her on the use of.

You go girl!
