Just finished these signs. One for myself and one for a friend, who is also in IT. Do you need a custom acrylic sign? Lots of colors to choose from. These are 1/8 inch thick, but i can also do 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch.

Very excited about participating in this event. Come see us and get your dog (or cat) a custom engraved pet tag. We will be doing the laser engraving right there on site! We have many other customizable products available. I'll share pics once we have the booth set up.

Got some more whiskey/cigar boards made. The wider staves will hod a rocks glass while the narrow staves are for glencairn style tasting glasses. Im still not sure what I should call them. I feel like whiskey/cigar should be in the name so people understand what they are for. But should I call them boards, trays, staves? Something else? Let me know your thoughts.

I came home from work, changed clothes, and went out to the wood shop. I cut down and flattened some whiskey barrel staves. Then I cut out and sanded some GlenToppers (covers for your whiskey tasting glasses). Tomorrow night I plan to finish some more whiskey/cigar boards. A few of the staves may be wide enough to hold a rocks glass. Later this week, I'll engrave some glasses to make complete sets. We will have them at the Waco Harley Davidson Dog Days of Summer event this Saturday. I will be engraving the wood products on site, but if you would like something custom engraved on a glass, please let me know ASAP so I can have it ready for Saturday.
The picture is a set that I made a few years ago just so everyone knows what im talking about. They are made from a used Balcones Distilling barrel.

We are at China Spring Farmers and Crafters Market today until 1. We're inside the youth building so no worries about the weather.
Its a packed market today. Lots of great vendors to check out.

Father's Day is this Sunday!! Get your dad or husband a personalized gift!
This Saturday, we will be at the China Spring craft market from 9-1. This market only has 2 weekends left before they shut down.
On June 27th, we will be at the Waco Harley Davidson Dog Days of Summer event. Then we will be taking a few weeks off for the holiday and to replenish our inventory. I really need to get out to the workshop and build some more items.
As most of you know, we do custom laser engraving on site. However, we cannot engrave glasses there because of limitations of the type of laser we bring with us. I'll have pre-engraved glasses and tumblers (we can personalize the tumblers with your name on site). Some of these tumbler designs take an hour to engrave, so doing them live at a 5 hour event isn't feasible. If you want something custom, please get with me in advance to order it and you can pick it up at the event.
