Hack of the Week No.110

"The Land Of The Free"

Today is July 4th and this hack is for all of our US friends!

"The Land Of The Free"

This patriotic layout was created using models from these projects:

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

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

 

Here is a great Independance Day layout that is sure to inspire you to create a project that celebrates the great land you live in!  This layout uses just 2 models from the Around the World No.1 - USA project.

Thank you Don for sending this into us!  Happy July 4th!

God Bless America

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!

Around the World starting in Don's shop.

Ready to be impressed? Don Harding got this to us in record time after receiving the new Around the World USA CNC Project.

The material Don used was Poplar.

The material Don used was Poplar.

He used the Assembled Layout to make this wonderful carving. The finished size is 19" x 15" and about .9" thick. The roughing and finishing passes it to 6 hours using a 1/8" ballnose endmill for the finishing cut.

We can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks for sharing Don!

One Possible Layout

"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. 
I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.  ~ Abraham Lincoln"

Abraham Lincoln may be a prominent figure in US history but that quote is true to just about any place in the world.  This is our first installment of our Around the World series of projects.  Each project will contain models that we hope will help you to reflect your pride in the place you live, or call home, in you finished projects.

When you think of the USA it can't be helped to think of the US flag with its stars and stripes.  Also the eagle has long been a symbol of freedom and nothing says freedom like the United States of America.  Using the other models in this project you are sure to be able to create the perfect layout to show your pride in your home land.
