As part of my therapy to help me deal with my TBI and PTSD, along with a forced medical retirement from law enforcement due to additional physical injuries, I began creating custom woodworking projects in my small shop. This led to the creation of my Etsy Shop (Wounded Blue Woodworks) where I sell some of these American Proud, First Responder, and Veteran focused goods.

While working in my shop I eventually decided to see if I could make my own screen printing press out of some scraps I had laying around and taught myself how to print t-shirts, which are also occasionally for sale on the site in very limited runs.

What's next? Honestly I don't know but what I do know is this. If I make it and am willing to sell it, it is only because I put a lot of hard work into it and I think someone out there will appreciate and enjoy it. Everything I make is handmade to the extent that I can make it by hand. No fancy equipment here, just hard work and pride.
