Patrick Green is now "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!


When we designed the sports CNC projects it was with the thought that customers would take them and create sports awards for local sports teams.  The ability to either take the assembled layout or create their own and then customize it with players names, positions and jersey numbers made them a great value.  

Patrick Green has certainly seen the potential of the basketball and baseball projects.  He has come up with some very nice layouts and his results are tops!

The added paint to the basketball plaques sure makes that basketball pop!  It's a slam dunk!

Patrick also took the time to send us in these pictures of some baseball plaques he made.  Great layout with the home plate at the top and bottom with the bat on the sides!  Merging in that baseball jersey and then adding the jersey number is a great idea. 

 

"I use Aspire software with a CNC shark machine.  To finish it I lightly spray it with polyurethane spray so the paint doesn't bleed through, then I use paint pens to paint it then finish polyurethane with a spray. "

The results look great.  We're sure the players appreciate the plaques!  Something they will keep for years and years!


 

Thank you Patrick for sharing these projects with us! 

Consider yourself...  Weekend CNC Warrior Approved!

Hack of the Week No.46


Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models form other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!

Baseball season is just around the plate (see what we did there...) and its just about time to think about little league awards.

This "Smallville Little League" plaque was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on the ribbons is called: Batang

Note - This hack was assembled in VCarve Desktop with the text simulated in Aspire v8!!!!  Could have been done in VCarve Pro v8 or Aspire!!!  So many options.
