Hack of the Week No.84

This time of the year, when it's colder outside, it not too hard to find yourself thinking about summer.  If you are fond of fishing then this layout might just get you dreaming of your favourite fishing hole or last years fishing trip.

This "Guide Service" sign layout was created using models from these CNC projects:

The fonts we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout are called: GeoSlab and French Script (edited)

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

VectorArt3D is a great source of single models to hack into your layouts and it's also a Vectric Company!

Models can be purchased from VectorArt3D as Vectric .V3Ms and work perfectly in VCarve Desktop, VCarve Pro V8 and Aspire.

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!

Jim and his sports hack.

What a wreath!

WOW... now this is a Design and Make hack if we ever saw one!

This sports wreath, sent in by Jim Coats, hacks together almost all of our sports projects and then tosses in the fall wreath from the Thanksgiving No.1 CNC project and the ribbon from the Pick-Up League Golf CNC project!  This is the ultimate door hanging for the super sports fan!!!

Thanks Jim for sharing... and from what he says... "Got bored this weekend" turned it something pretty neat!

Tennis or Badminton... What's Your Sport?

Possible Layout

It's hard to drive by a campground, neighbourhood, school or recreational facility without seeing a badminton net or tennis court. Both are fantastic activities to burn off some energy during summer vacation or on a hot afternoon.  For those that wish to aspire to the top ranks it is more than just a pastime... it's a passion!

Do you have a child or grandchild that plays a racquet sport in school?  Maybe you're more of an enthusiast and a member of a local club enjoying a match or two on the weekend.  Do you play but keep it to filling lazy afternoons inviting the neighbors over for an impromptu friendly tournament?  This project just might be the thing you have been looking for.
