Hack of the Week No.109


Be so good they can't ignore you

This one goes out to all of the recent grads, those that have moved up at work or school and to all those that just need a bit of motivation today.

"Be so good they can't ignore you"

This motivational layout sign was created using models from these projects:

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


Be safe and let the chips fly!

The Design and Make Team

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!

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.
