Hack of the Week No.99


Tile No.1

Tile No.2

Tile No.1+2... and so on

If you have a new little on or are expecting to welcome one soon then this might be the creative project for you!  This project could be used to celebrate the milestones in their life.  First tile for when they were born, second for when they take their first steps, third when they say their first word and so on... till college or maybe even for when they welcome their first.

This "milestone" wall art was created using models from these projects:

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


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!

Marinan Brewer's Graduation Plaque!


With the end of the school year soon approaching we thought it would be the perfect time to post this finished project hack from Marinan Brewer.

"Machine is Laguna Swift CNC ROUTER 4X8.  Software is V CARVE PRO comes with machine!"

"Needless to say - I used your Projects for all the items carved! Worked great"

Marinan used the Graduation Day No.1 and the Rose Tile No.1 project to hack together this layout.

What a great plaque for a wonderful achievement.  We're sure Emily loved it!
