Hack of the Week No.103

This one is for the kids!  The perfect little project to help get the little ones excited about CNC.  A special bedroom door sign that they can help you finish.  

We understand that some children, and a few adults, may be a bit impatient, so to speed up the process toolpath the dish shape and flower, v-carve the child's name, and then do a quick profile cut to cut the sign shape.  Maybe even make a couple just in case there is a painting mistake.. :)

This "childrens door sign" was created using models from these projects:

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

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

 

 

This little door sign was created using a blank from a local craft store and the Dish Shapes No.1 CNC Project.  

 

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!

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.

Mother's Day and Fun in the Sun!

John Mordus is back with two great projects to share with us.   With his first project he has created a layout that can be easily customized with a unique message for a very special person!

Mom's Garden

"Mother's day and springtime are coming up so I made a bunch of these up. Used your Mother's Garden No.1."

As you can see his layout was easily customized with different v-carving to make it a very special gift!

"Used a glued up 1" - 2' x 4' pine panel from big box store - can get 6 of these out of 1 piece. Minwax stain - 4 coats of oil based poly for inside - 4 coats of spar varnish is going outside"

His second project is a little work in progress that he has given us a sneak peek at.

"Experimenting a little for a Jimmy Buffet fan. Still needs some tweaking on the different layers."

"24 x 12" - 1" glued up pine panel"

He used models for the Under the Sea No.1, Fun in the Sun No.2 and the beer mug that came included in his Aspire software.  What a great looking hack just as it is!

Thank you, again, John for sharing these special projects with us!
