Family Coat of Arms


During the last couple of weeks we have been busy with a project that took us out of our comfort zone. A customer we have known for many years finish building her dream home. The house is located in a gated community with the most spectacular views of El Paso, I honestly have to say that no other house in El Paso is privileged with such a magnificent view. I have no knowledge of architecture so I can’t state what type of style was used to build such a beautiful house all I can describe for you that it reminds me of an old Mexican Hacienda with a Mediterranean twist. The house has a gorgeous  dome that can be seen from any angle of the property I can only imagine the view that one could see from this magnificent place. Our company was hired to make eight flags, each flag representing the last name and lineage of both our customer and her husband.  The flags are place directly above a beautiful twenty person dining room table. The poles are hand carved with a beautiful braided design and both are supported by a beautiful wrought iron base. Our customer chose the finest silk fabrics to compliment the family crest.  We hope you enjoy the pictures just as much as we enjoyed making these flags.

170th IBCT


It was on July 6th 1988 when I arrived at HHC 2/68 Armor. Ft. Knox was a distant memory and I was eager to put my skills as an M1A1 Tank Turret Mechanic into practice, but I was surprised to find out that the 8th ID still had the M60A3. Well that is how my story in the United States Army began. The 8th ID is no longer, the 1st Armored Division took it's place and now it's home to the 170th IBCT, well not for much longer. So when I received and email requesting information about guidons for the 170th IBCT I got exited. Baumholder "The Rock" as some call it was my home for 4 years.
This guidon is ready to do it's tour at "The Rock"

ROTC Guidon

Our jobs gets monotonous at times because official military artwork is set in stone, however when we get an email from a ROTC Cadet requesting info on a custom guidon we get very exited. Doing something new is challenging for everyone at the shop from the designers to the machine operators it changes the pace of every day work and the designs we get are very cool!
