A new project just in time for Mother's Day

Just in time for Mother's Day we have the 3rd installment of the Mother's Garden series of CNC projects.

A project that contains an orchid model seemed to be a very obvious addition to the Mother's Garden series of projects.  A ribbon that can be easily v-carved with children's names, dates or an event seemed to fit right in, so we included it. Overlaying your layout on the long textured tile will make for a great piece of wall art to be shared with visitors, as a gift or just for yourself.

Hack of the Week No.100 - WOW!

The inspiration for a Design & Make Project Hack can come from just about anywhere at just about anytime.

 

In this case it was a deer mount that we saw in a local "Fish & Game" building.  The look of a wood slab to create the mount instantly reminded us to the wood slab included in the Animal Tracks No.1 CNC Project.

If you are a huntsman or fisherman then you're going to be interested in this hack.  It may just be the perfect way to display your prize and create the conversation piece to set the perfect mood to retell your favorite hunting story.    

This "Deer Mount" was created using models from these projects:

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

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

VectorArt3D is a great source of single models to hack into your layouts and it's also a Vectric Company!

Models can be purchased from VectorArt3D as Vectric .V3Ms and work perfectly in VCarve Desktop, VCarve Pro V8 and Aspire.

Hard to believe this hack of the week is number 100!!!
WOW... and so many more to come!

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!

Texan Dreamers Plaque from James Patton

One of the great things about our CNC projects is that there are so many themes. On the other hand that makes it hard to know if you would ever have a need for particular ones.  As you will see from one of James Patton's latest project knowing that we had a particular theme available helped him out and the result is pretty great!

"An acquaintance of my wife asked if I’d carve a logo for her. You can see the drawing I had to work with."

James was given this image to work from.

"You can see the drawing I had to work with. Using pieces from the graduation day set, I think we got pretty close..."

We have to agree with James... it is pretty close... maybe even a bit better... ;)  Love that finish and the color really brings it all together. Nice work!

Thank you James for sharing this project with us!
