I’ve been jealous of Fred’s Pink Sasquatch hat for nearly a decade now… 😂 But yeah, I’m with this guy: I’d rock one

[@heathwilliamson1723]

Pocket T’s with a small front graphic and a large back graphic along with zip up hoodies 👍

[@thedirtheadshed]

Those are both on my list

[@mattdillow1565]

I just commented, but commenting again under this one! I second the pocket t shirt!

[@bogginbrandon]

Even if it’s not an actual pocket tee just having a small art or logo on the front where the pocket goes and the big stuff on the back makes a cool shirt. So many cool gear head shirts are too obnoxious on the front. Like you got them in the kids section at wal mart.

[@jonlowry4891]

YES PLEASE

[@Adam-Calvert]

I'm in the UK and would definitely like to buy some merch. Your videos motivates me to go work on my junk. When welding aluminium try using a smaller cup. Too much gas can make the weld puddle unstable and you don't need the wide gas coverage. Keep up the good work.

[@thedirtheadshed]

I was wondering if I needed to swap back out to a standard diffuser and cup

[@earlarthur9378]

One option if you want to go through a fulfillment center, is Bunker Branding out of Boerne, TX. Love your fab work, sir. I also love your "Oh God I almost died". Here I am, sitting alone at my desk at work and just busted up laughing - drawing the attention of about eight big tough Army guys hahahaha. Good thing I'm a contractor!!

I wanted that shirt when you first showed it. Probably would have worn holes in it and bought a second by now. It would be awesome!

Not surprised re: Derek. I know Puddin’s Fab does his own fulfillment using his family with printing with a local company in OKC. Fully back you breaking into that.
