It has been a long time since I've posted on this blog.  It has been eventful year+.  Since Oct 2019, I have added another CNC router capable of carving up to 50 inches long by 25 inches wide.  I purchased a 24” x 16” bed, 90-Watt CO2 laser and a 30-Watt Fiber laser.  I made some big investments in my hobby business when I lost my job in Feb 2020.  Because of COVID 19 the job market for IT and most all positions disappeared.  My wife and I had decided to continue our business full time.    In Oct 2020, I was offered an IT position that I couldn’t refuse, so I’m back to carving, engraving and 3d modeling part time in the evenings and weekend.

​I look forward to 2021.  I have some big plans for my workshop.  No confirmed plans but we will be posting photos and we progress.  We will also be retiring the Fool4peppers name in favor of the Displayvets handle we use on ETSY.  We will keep this link live but as you can see, the header now has the new name.

Hi everyone It has been a while since I posted.  I have been working on many projects.  Mostly CNC 3d modeling project.  I have so many I have decided to start selling some of the ones I've made.  www.cnc3dmodelz.com  Check out the site.

  Hi to all the Tufo fans out there that might have seen my link on Mark's video.  To answer Mark, yes, I do custom work and sell some on Etsy and direct to customers.  Send me an email at fool4peppers@twc.com.  Here is the video is you missed it.  Thanks again, Mark for all the hours and hours to fun you have provided me in your books.

I've had a few ask about my stained glass.  Sadly, several years ago I decided to discontinue the stained glass hobby.  I really loved doing it but the hobby was very labor intensive and hard on my hands.  I sold all my equipment but keep all my patterns.  As you might know, I'm a computer geek and used software to design my glass.  I recently joined a Stained Glass pattern group on Facebook and decided to start sharing more and more of my designs.  Click on the downloads link often, because I'm going to try to add a few every week.

Hi all,
With the combination of my full time job as an IT director and my wood addition, it has been a busy summer so far.  We have been selling like crazy on Facebook to local customer in Lexington Kentucky.  We have just started to promote and sell on ETSY.  (https://www.etsy.com/shop/DisplayVETS).  We have some very cool stuff for sale.  Go take a look.  I look forward to hearing from you and look for some new videos later in the fall.
Brian and Bonnie.
