Hack of the Week No.125

For Hack of the Week No.125 we thought we might give you a little bonus, two hacks in one!

"A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skillful Sailor"

This second version of the sign was created using models from these projects:

Fonts used are:

  • Candara, Gabriola

Both versions of this motivational plaque use the same sign shape and text layout with a change of the accent models.

 Using the levels feature in your V-Carve Desktop, V-Carve Pro or Aspire you can easily set up multiple versions of the same project. 

This is useful for things like showing a customer multiple versions of the same plaque or even keeping two versions of a "good seller" all in the same place!

Hack of the Week No.8

The great thing about our mini-projects is that you can mix and match the models or add in your own.

Our weekly mini-project hack uses models from 2 different projects! 

The weather is getting perfect for a weekend at the lake!

The font we used to simulate the v-carving is called Sakkal Majalla.

Batten down the hatches!

If you are located near the coast, by a river or within sight of a lake you're sure to know how nice it is to launch your boat for an afternoon cruise.  Sailing, paddling or just floating your craft on a lazy day is as close to heaven as you can get.

Our second installment in the shipyard mini-project series adds some great models to create a plaque, sign or applique fitting for a great sailing vessel.  You might even consider combining it with the Shipyard No.1 mini-project to create a unique sign for a cabin, cottage or bed and breakfast.

There are the traditional models like a ship's wheel and skipjack but we also added in a whale's tail and a seagull to make things more interesting.

You'll notice another unique model that we think you will find very handy.  It looks like a chunk of ocean, sea, lake or maybe even a puddle.  All would be great uses for this water model.  

Straight out of the dock house it was designed to fit below the whale's tail or under the skipjack to create some great movement in your final layout.

Thanks for reading!  

Be safe and let the chips fly.
