Hack of the Week No.90

Tearing down old cars and rebuilding them a hobby of yours?  Maybe there's someone in your neighbourhood that you take your car to and get minor repairs done. We bet they could use a little something to make sure your next "favour" is pushed ahead of the yard work they planned to do.

This "My Garage, My Rules!" sign was created using models from these projects:

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

A Little Something Extra

We have included a link to download the "Free to Anyone" vector outlines (.dxf format) for the lightning bolt you can see in our layout.  Now you can add it to any of your own projects. It's easy and fast to V-Carve in your Vectric software!

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!

Larry Breaux is at it again!

It's always great to see more from our customers that have previously had an official "Customer Focus" or "Weekend CNC Warrior" post.  This is Larry's second Shop Notes post and this one really shows off his skills at creating a nice layout and his finishing work!

This is his new family crest!!!

"Let's Ride No.1 carved in maple with black cherry stain as an Xmas gift for my parents. Came out GREAT! Thank you for the great quality models."

We agree, it does look great!  

Thanks again Larry for sharing your work with us!
