Customer Focus - Love Potion Bottle by Don Harding

One of our regular contributors of finished projects, Don Harding, came up with this very simple project that we thought should be shared seeing as Valentine's Day is just a week away!  

 

This is such a great use of the wine bottle that comes with the Wine Bar No.1 project.  Don took the model, squished it then pulled it to make this great little bottle that could certainly hold a special love potion.

Change up the V-Carving and this could also be used at Halloween to hold your spooky potion or as a placecard holder at a wedding.  Lots of options and ideas!

This got us to thinking.

"Maybe we should create a short and quick video to show you how we think he did it." 

Check it out!

If you are looking for a special project for Valentine's Day, wedding or anniversary we have one that just might be what you are looking for.

Getting started with the Western Scenes Collection

Interested in purchasing the Western Scenes Collection but are not sure where to start with a layout?  You might already have the collection and want to get the most out of it.  Maybe you're just interested in how our CNC projects work with Vectric's VCarve Desktop, Pro V8 or Aspire.  We have created 2 videos that focus those software packages and using the models you receive with the Western Scenes Collection, but the method, tips and tricks can be used to create a layout using models from any of our projects or your own collection!

Both videos are just over 20min, so that's lots of time to sit back, have a cup of coffee and learn a bit about how our projects work and how fast it is to create a great looking layout!

Hack of the Week No.88

Using the new Western themes projects and the hints in the new "A little help to get you started" video will set you down a path of creating some interesting hacks you may have thought were never possible.

This "D&M Ranch" sign layout was created using models from these CNC projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called: Candara

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.

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!
