Holiday signs from Don

As always Don Harding has been busy creating some great looking projects in his shop.  Over the past few weeks he has sent in a few different variations on holiday signs using the mold board from the Home for the Holidays No.5 CNC project.

Love the finish on these.  The paint on the holly and in the letters really makes them pop!  His choice of wood could not be better... they look great!

 

 

The magic key sign is Don's take on Rebecca's Magic Key project.  If you have not seen it yet her post on the Vectric Labs blog is a great read and very helpful if you would like to make your own.

We could not help but post this one.  Its simple V-Carving but the finish and saying makes us smile!

Thanks again Don for sharing these great projects!

Hack of the Week No.83

The holidays are just a few days away but you still have time to make this Christmas extra special.  How about a customized "First Christmas" plaque that will be cherished for many Christmases to come! 

This "First Christmas" plaque layout was created using models from these CNC projects:

The fonts we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout are called: Candara and French Script MT (edited)

Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models from other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!

 

Happy Holidays...

So much more than just animal tracks!

Another Possible Layout

Nature enthusiasts this one's for you!  It's always fun to go for a nature walk and stumble across an animal track.  The feeling that you are on the path that was previously taken by a wild animal seems to be magical and exciting.

If you are a hunter this project might be what you have been waiting for to help outfit your hunting camp with a unique welcome sign, piece of furniture, or wall plaque.  Remember that bear that got into the trash and then looked up and spotted the fish you were about to cook... yeah... we thought so.  How about a plaque to keep the memory alive? or not.
