Hack of the Week No.27

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.

 

This weeks hack was inspired by a piece Suzanne Ramsay (one of our Weekend CNC Warriors) made with our Home for the Holidays No.2 mini-project.  

Suzanne hacked this one together using the Home for the Holidays No.2 mini-project and a model from her library. 

Our candle holder layout was created using models from these mini-projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on the sign is called:

  • Century

Pretty amazing what you can hack together with our mini-projects!   Thanks again Suzanne for the inspiration!

Be safe and let the chips fly!

Michael Gombeda you are "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

Michael sent in this picture of a wonderful plaque made using the Pick-Up League - Baseball mini-project.  

The use of the stain on the bats and lacing of the ball is just superb.  It really lifts the design off the first plate model that was used for the plaque shape.

"The machine was a carvewright, the material is maple with aged maple stain on bats, ball seams and in the lettering and just spray shellac as a finish."

 

Thank you so much for sharing and, Michael, you can consider yourself "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!  

Be safe and let the chips fly!
