WOW! 
So much incredible stuff going on! Love the layers and all the movement. Did you put all the graphics together or is it a standard image for your unit? (Does that make sense?)
Oh man, that is EPIC. I was hoping mine would come before my own retirement (Army) 'cause I figured it would be great for those sorts of things… but wow! That’s a whole other level!
My grandfather has some medals in a frame with a printed background from WW2 I’d like to update. My pro is coming soon, this is great inspiration.
Excellent job.
Holy smokes, you really nailed it first time out of the gate! Keep posting your stuff!
Thanks. I put together the images. We are Blackhawk pilots in North Carolina and our unit designation is “Killdevils” because of our connection to Kill Devil Hills and the history of piracy in the Outer Banks, Blackbeard specifically.
Thanks. Our retirement gifts were getting pretty stale so the forge should spice things up a bit, maybe some LED lighting as well.
That is just incredible! What a great design!
Love the design! Very pirate-like!
Welcome. It looks like you will be making incredible stuff to show us.
Epic Design and thank you for sharing, also thank you for your service.
- and very nice job on that!
I also worked at an National Guard Army Aviation Support Facility --> but a long, long time ago (Grand Ledge, Michigan from 1973-75) --> not even sure the thought of having a laser accessible by hobbyists would even have been imaginable.
Great work of art and congrats for joining the GF Forum! Look forward to more amazing things.
Fly Safe! 
Epic first post – keep them coming!
Looks great … Quite the retirement gift!
Looks amazing! (and an extra cheer for being in NC!)
