Randy from WorkedWood.com you are "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

It's great to see our users posting pictures of finished project that have made use of our projects.  Sometime we have a hard time finding them and if we do see them it is by sure luck.  Randy Meyer, from WorkedWood.com has the right idea when posting and is sure to tag us so we can find them easily.  Below are some examples of his work... and it's well worth the look!

Randy used our Pick-up League Baseball mini-project.

 

Randy posted this on Twitter and, as you can see, it was hard not to take a double take.  

"Its hard maple finished with three coats spar urethane. I have a Shark Pro and Carvewright use the standard software, Meshlab, Sculptris, and Corel 15."

Notice how he cropped the baseball into a heart shape... now that's hacking!

 

 

 

 

Randy also worked on this beauty and tweeted us the image... 

"@CNCminiProjects a small hack of my own for the @stormathletics baseball team. The team signed the infield."

He used the models form the Pick-Up League Baseball and the ribbon from the Family Coat of Arm Achievement Pack No.2 to create this hack!

Super idea Randy and thanks for the tweet!!!!

 

 

Randy tweeted his latest use of a mini-project and it's another great piece.

This birth plaque layout came straight from the project sheet we included with the Nursery Fun No.1 mini-project. 

His attention to detail and his finishing is perfect!  Nice font!

Be sure to keep an eye on Randy by taking a looking at his website (www.workedwood.com) and follow him on Twitter (@WorkedWood).

Michael Gombeda you are "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

Michael sent in this picture of a wonderful plaque made using the Pick-Up League - Baseball mini-project.  

The use of the stain on the bats and lacing of the ball is just superb.  It really lifts the design off the first plate model that was used for the plaque shape.

"The machine was a carvewright, the material is maple with aged maple stain on bats, ball seams and in the lettering and just spray shellac as a finish."

Carl and his "Gnome Doors"!

You probably already know Carl Hird-Rutter from his fantastic wine cellar sign we posted last month so there isn't any need to go on about his creative style and finishing, so we won't. 

In this case we want to highlight his "out of the box" style of hacking mini-projects to get some pretty unique layouts. 

A while back Carl emailed us 2 very interesting designs that he put together using a couple of our mini-projects and a couple of pieces from his library..  

The door is actually the horseshoe from the Western Saloon No.1 mini-project and the wine barrel top from the Wine Bar No.1 mini-project... crazy.  He also used the bull skull form the Western Saloon No.1  over the door in the first layout.

"I took the wine barrel from the wine bar and the horseshoe from the western saloon and made a gnome door. I used a stone texture for the background.
Also did a western gnome door."

Carl created the layouts in his CarveWright software.  Not sure if he ever machined one of them... but it sure would look cool in a kids playhouse or as a very unique door to his wine cellar!

Thanks again for sharing Carl!
