Coffee and CNC'ing... a perfect combination!


Flipping through the stack of project pages on our desk we discovered that we have missed a very important mini-project theme.  No it's not golf, fishing or car-racing (although those are pretty good ideas) but... COFFEE!  Yeah... how did we miss that one!  It's not like there isn't a steamy cup of "joe" sitting right beside the stack or... or... a coffee cup stain in our logo.  Wow.

 

Introducing the
Coffee Shop No.1
mini-project!

We can't imagine not having a coffee themed mini-project knowing that it is an important CNC safety precaution to always have coffee on hand before starting up your machine (read the fine print in the manual... it's there someplace... really).

 

This mini-project has 5 models included in it that we're pretty sure you all can use at sometime or another.

We all have a family member that is a bit of a coffee nut, a local coffee shop that is in need of some new wall art or a new sign. Not to mention the growing independent small roasters out there that sure could use the help of some great visual marketing pieces, customized with their logo! 

Lets not let that hot cup of coffee you just poured go to waste... grab this mini-project now and get some ideas brewing!


Hack this mini-project!

The "Coffee Shop Sign" was made using the models from 2 mini-projects:

The font used to simulate the v-carving is called Gentium Basic.

WOW... that's a hack!

We're Hacking Around with our Mini-Projects


Not sure what a mini-project hack is?  Well... if you take 2 or more mini-projects and combine the some of the models from each to create a project... then your hacking!

Some of you Weekend CNC Warriors have seen our Hacks of the Week... but we're pretty sure some of you haven't.  So we decided to create a place on CNCminiProjects.com where you could go to see them all and hopefully get inspired to do a bit of hacking of your own. 

If you click on the logo to the right you will be taken right to the page....

so...

so...

get to it and get inspired to hack your next Weekend CNC Warrior project together

Hack of the Week No.19


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 or more mini-projects.


Have a new product your trying to plug with a nice new sign?  Maybe a new t-shirt your selling or trying to get crowd-sourced? Just maybe using Teespring.com to help you get it done? Well, we are.... did you see that coming? Sneaky EH?!

The "Shop Gorilla T-Shirt" sign was hacked together using 2 mini-projects...

The fonts we used to simulate the v-carving are: Carbon Block and Corbel

The "Shop Gorilla" logo is simulated v-carving using the outline vectors from our official logo.

 

 

We are trying to get a "Weekend CNC Warrior Approved" Shop Gorilla t-shirt made.  Want to show the shop with the real "Shop Gorilla" is?  Pre-order one of our shirts before September 15th, 2014 and help us make this dream come true!  Pretty cool... right?

Thanks for considering it!
