Smell the Sea and Feel the Sky!

This week we will release the 3rd installment of the Under the Sea themed CNC projects.   We are excited to see how those of you who have dove into the projects will hack them together and what they will use them for! 

Don Harding had sent us in some pictures of what he has done with the first 2 Under the Sea Projects.

This first piece is something Don hacked together using the Under the Sea No.1 and No.2 projects.  His VCarved quote really adds to the layout!

 "If I could Live in the Sea What would I Like to Be?" 

 

His next hack he decided to use 3 different projects.  

Models from Under the Sea No.1, No.2 and the broken tiles for the Rose Tile No.1 project!

What a great looking finished layout!

 

Don is also experimenting with small 6" x 6" tiles. 

"6x6x.75 Just playing around. Gonna practice my Coloring on this."

What a great idea!! These would also look great a small piece of wall art in a cabin by the sea!

Thanks again Don for sharing your work with us.  Keep up the hacking!

When we designed the sports CNC projects it was with the thought that customers would take them and create sports awards for local sports teams.  The ability to either take the assembled layout or create their own and then customize it with players names, positions and jersey numbers made them a great value.  

Patrick Green has certainly seen the potential of the basketball and baseball projects.  He has come up with some very nice layouts and his results are tops!

The added paint to the basketball plaques sure makes that basketball pop!  It's a slam dunk!

Patrick also took the time to send us in these pictures of some baseball plaques he made.  Great layout with the home plate at the top and bottom with the bat on the sides!  Merging in that baseball jersey and then adding the jersey number is a great idea. 

 

"I use Aspire software with a CNC shark machine.  To finish it I lightly spray it with polyurethane spray so the paint doesn't bleed through, then I use paint pens to paint it then finish polyurethane with a spray. "

The results look great.  We're sure the players appreciate the plaques!  Something they will keep for years and years!

 

Thank you Patrick for sharing these projects with us!
