Every sign I make? Wood's cut by me. Metal's welded by me.
Both hands. All mine.
My time in the service taught me one thing: if you're gonna do it, do it all the way. That didn't stop when I took off the uniform. I use solid wood. I forge the iron myself. Every joint fits tight, every weld holds true. Sanding, oiling, sealing, painting—all by hand. Machines don't have skin in the game.
Put it in the yard, it'll take the weather. Hang it in the living room, it's got the warmth of wood and the bite of steel.
I ain't just building signs. I'm building something worthy of the grain, worthy of the iron—and worthy of the flag.
Wood ages. Metal rusts. But what I build? Outlasts 'em both. Out of uniform, but my hands still serve. What I did for this country? Still doing it.
