Hack of the Week No.98

It's been one of those days... this hack seemed to be appropriate!  Now... where is that coffee!

This "A yawn is a silent scream for COFFEE!" sign was created using models from these projects:

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

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

 

Don Harding loved this hack so he took the time to actually make it... or his version of it.

This is a sneak peek, so for now, it just has a sealer on it and is waiting for some paint.  Don used his CAMaster Stinger and his Vectric Aspire software to create it.  Looks good so far and we can't wait to see the finished piece!

Finished sign!  Look'n good!
