This hack came from a very real problem I had today. Every year we take a picture of our Daughter in front of our house holding a picture frame with the words "First Day of Grade X". The "X" being the year the the grade she is just about to start. My only job is to have that white piece of paper printed with the text... and well... I forgot. In the end I did sort it out... but if I had this hack my day would have been off to a much nicer start.
Making the customizable plaque and leaving a space to velcro on the pre-machined and finished year pieces would have saved my hide!
This "First Day of School" plaque was created using models from these CNC projects:
- Chalkboard - School Days No.1
- Boards - Tiki Bar No.1
The fonts we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout are called: Palatino Linotype and
Monotype Corsiva
Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes. It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.
Be safe and let the chips fly!
