"A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skillful Sailor"

This second version of the sign was created using models from these projects:

Fonts used are:

Both versions of this motivational plaque use the same sign shape and text layout with a change of the accent models.

 Using the levels feature in your V-Carve Desktop, V-Carve Pro or Aspire you can easily set up multiple versions of the same project. 

This is useful for things like showing a customer multiple versions of the same plaque or even keeping two versions of a "good seller" all in the same place!

Jevon pulls off a slam dunk with his latest hack!

Jevon Lewis sent in this really nice basketball sign he hacked together with the help of a couple Design and Make CNC projects.  His finish work on this is wonderful and it makes the sign pop!  

"Cleveland Cavs sign that I made with the basketball from Pick-Up League Basketball and the sword from Achievement Pack No.2."

Jevon edited the the sword to look like the one in the logo.  He used some very creative tooling to get it all to fit together tight and right. 

"I'm trying to make more complex signs than I used too."

"I really like how it came out. The basketball texture really made the piece stand out and having the sword go all the way through the design finished off the 3D design of the project."

We think Jevon has achieved his goal of making a more complex project.  Well done!

Thank you Jevon for sharing your project with us!
