Hack of the Week No.98

It's been one of those days... this hack seemed to be appropriate!  Now... where is that coffee!

This "A yawn is a silent scream for COFFEE!" sign was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is call:  Corbel

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

 

Don Harding loved this hack so he took the time to actually make it... or his version of it.

This is a sneak peek, so for now, it just has a sealer on it and is waiting for some paint.  Don used his CAMaster Stinger and his Vectric Aspire software to create it.  Looks good so far and we can't wait to see the finished piece!

Finished sign!  Look'n good!

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!

Mother's Day and Fun in the Sun!

John Mordus is back with two great projects to share with us.   With his first project he has created a layout that can be easily customized with a unique message for a very special person!

Mom's Garden

"Mother's day and springtime are coming up so I made a bunch of these up. Used your Mother's Garden No.1."

As you can see his layout was easily customized with different v-carving to make it a very special gift!

"Used a glued up 1" - 2' x 4' pine panel from big box store - can get 6 of these out of 1 piece. Minwax stain - 4 coats of oil based poly for inside - 4 coats of spar varnish is going outside"

Gerry's Garden

His second project is a little work in progress that he has given us a sneak peek at.

"Experimenting a little for a Jimmy Buffet fan. Still needs some tweaking on the different layers."

"24 x 12" - 1" glued up pine panel"

He used models for the Under the Sea No.1, Fun in the Sun No.2 and the beer mug that came included in his Aspire software.  What a great looking hack just as it is!

Thank you, again, John for sharing these special projects with us!
