Taking three more hat presses to FedEx this morning. I still have one more ready to ship. #statetrooper #grizzlytools #hatpress #usadsa #thiswelldefend #drillsergeant #drillinstructor #basictraining #bct #ait #army #usmc #camppendleton #campaignhat #parrisisland #forthuachuca #fortbenning #fortlee #fortsill #forteustis #fortjackson #fortleonardwood #fortsamhouston #fortgordon #dli #woodworker #woodworking #woodwork #carbide3d #shapeoko3 (at The U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJETjDFDYTT/?igshid=5qu08l2i0by

Dropping this hat press in the mail this morning. Pleased with the results as this was especially challenging, the fine details were really difficult throughout the entire process, but I also had to create the vectors from scratch for both engravings along the top. Fortunately the local store had the color of the felt that was requested. #hatpress #usmc #drillsergeant #drillinstructor #camppendleton #campaignhat #parrisisland #forthuachuca #fortjackson #fortbenning #fortlee #fortsamhouston #fortgordon #forteustis #dli #usadsa #thiswelldefend #eagleglobeandanchor #ega https://www.instagram.com/p/BphXQL3AFUE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=93td8vp05l7e

Finally back to wood working, and getting a lot closer to completing the rest if the hat presses I've been working on. #woodworker #woodworking #woodwork #hatpress #drillsergeant #usadsa #thiswelldefend

The outfeed table and cross cut sled are probably the two best improvements to the shop. The table helped me unload, layout and cut down to manageable size two sheets of premium plywood. Then the crosscut sled let me batch out near perfect blanks for 20 hat presses in record time, ready for the CNC. #woodworking #grizzlytools #shapeoko3 #carbide3d #drillsergeant #usadsa #thiswelldefend #hatpress

First custom order, (completed second) is complete. They wanted two, without hinges, but with bolts in all four corners instead. #drillinstructor #drillsergeant #hatpress #usadsa #thiswelldefend #forthuachuca #fortjackson #fortbenning #fortlee #fortleonardwood #fortsamhouston #fortsill #forteustis #dli

It took forever to get to this point. But they're finally ready for the final assembly. #hatpress #usadsa #drillsergeant #drillinstructor #campaignhat #statetrooper

Hat press number 120 is on the way. This will most likely be the last one shipped until next summer. I have some birch ones cut, but I won’t be working on them for now.
