Hack of the Week No.120

"Fish and Game Club"

Small towns, villages and communities all over North America have "Fish and Game" clubs that have become gathering places for all sorts of events.  This time of the year they are even more popular with hunting season just around the corner.

"Chipman, NB - Fish and Game Club"

This layout was created using models from these projects:

Fonts used are:

  • Century

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!

Customer Focus - Bob Hagan

This great hack was sent to us from Bob Hagan.  Notice the detail achieved in the texture he used for the background.  

"It was made on a CNC Shark HD Pro."

Bob used his copy of Vectric's VCarve Pro V8 to create his layout.

"(models used are) by Design and Make, which is Deep In The Wild. The woodgrain background is from the, Elk Scenes." 

Both of those projects are included in the Wildlife Scenes Collection and are bundled together for a special proce.

"The Celtic Knot Frame is from Vectric."

It is easy to overlook the free clip-art that gets installed with your Vectric software.  In this case Bob took advantage of the Celtic weaves... nice choice!  

"It is made on 1” thick cedar, it is 21” tall and 24” wide. It has 3 clear coats of lacquer."

"Thank you for noticing the detail. I really enjoy your software."

Thank you Bob for sharing your project with us!

Get your CNC buzzing with this new panel CNC project!

Flowers and bees are a match made in heaven when it comes to making honey and woodworking appliques.  Hand carved into wood, stone or cast in to ceramic to add a bit of nature to our inside spaces without the side effect of a bee sting.  They can be found all over the place including banisters, furniture, wall hangings, backsplashes and wood trim.  With the growing number of bee hive owners this might be just the perfect way to customize your hive or "Honey 4 Sale" sign!

One Possible Layout

This project is packed with so many possibilities because the models are very interchangeable.  It is easy to create a flower motif that you can carry throughout a room or your home.  Even if you are not looking to take on a home renovation, this project is easily hacked together with our other projects to create a very unique project.
