Joe McBryde is now "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

We love it when a customer takes a project of ours and the takes it up a notch by hacking in a model from their own collection.  Joe did a great job laying out this project using the Pick-Up League Baseball project, one of his own models and then adding the gold for a real pop!

"Made from Sapele. 12” tall. Ribbon on bottom from personal collection. Made on Shopbot. Gold on letters is Guilder’s paste. Made for softball player at Queens College in Charlotte, North Carolina."

 

 

"These model packages are great for increasing design and modeling skills. Had more fun creating than I did making it. Thank you."

Thank you Joe for the great comments and also sharing your work with us!  We are pretty sure you hit a homerun with this one!!! 

Thank you Joe, again,  for sharing this project with us! 

Consider yourself...  Weekend CNC Warrior Approved!

Hack of the Week No.65

A little early holiday inspiration for you.  It's never too soon to get a gift or two out of the way before the snow arrives.  Maybe even get a few pieces ready for that holiday craft show marketing piece.

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

The fonts we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout are called:  Sitka Banner and CloisterBlack BT

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

A Little Something Extra

We have included a screen grab to help you if you would like to recreate this layout or something close.  This layout and component tree would be the same in VCarve Pro V8, VCarve Desktop and Aspire V8.

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!
