Spreading the word - Indiana Rob’s 3D Sign Workshop

CNCminiProjects is very happy to be a very small part of Indiana Rob’s 3D Sign Workshop this year.  The infamous Indiana Rob himself asked us if we were willing to give a little something to be raffled away to a lucky student... and this is what we came up with:

We hand made 2 small boxes that had one of our models CNC on the top - The boot from the Western Saloon mini-project and the rose from the Rose Tile mini-project. 

The top of the box swiveled open to reveal a USB drive.  On the drive was the full mini-project that the model on the box top was taken from.   

Not a bad little prize... EH! 

We also sent along a few stickers for the students to take home.  We are hoping that we might get a few pictures of the students, a sticker and their own CNC machine.  If we do we will put them in a draw for another free mini-project! 

On top of that we issued a $5.00 discount code to be used on a mini-project purchase by the months end.  The discount code was placed on the back of our brand new business cards... for easy reference! 

From what we have heard the 3D Sign Camp was a hit... lots learn't and some great techniques shared. 

As you can see on their web site plans are in the works for the 2014 event... these guys don't let the chips settle!  

Good job Indiana Rob!!!!

William Hoffman - "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

Sometimes it is hard to understand exactly what to do with one of our mini-projects and how useful and versatile they can be.  We have tried hard to help by creating the  Getting Started videos and including a Project Sheet with every mini-project, but nothing is better then a picture form a customer... or in this case... tons of pictures and a video!​

William Hoffmann has gone above and beyond documenting his work using the Western Saloon No.1 mini-project.  All the time sharing with us his progress.

His comment on Google+ sums up what were were hoping users would say "CNCminiProjects.com nice files real easy to work with "​

William started out messing around with the models and creating this funny sign...​

He uses Aspire to compose his sign, create the v-carving and output the tooling.  

He took the time to create a short video showing his CNC at work machining the parts!  We had no idea of the final design but it is very obvious that he had a plan. 

Below are a few pictures of the parts after they were all finished being cut.  They look great and the detail on the boots is near perfect!​ Love it!

Up to this point William had us all excited so much that we were totally happy with what he had shown and did not expect anymore.  Until he sent us this.... ​

Speechless...​ amazing... truly, William is a craftsman with an eye for detail and finished work!  

Thanks again William for all the great pictures and video.  Consider yourself...  Weekend CNC Warrior Approved!​

​We love to hear from our customers so if you have created a project with one of our mini-projects feel free to send us an image or two!  We want to see it and we will be sure to post it here in our blog: if you let us.

Thanks for reading... and if you made it this far please leave a comment!  

Happy and Safe CNC'ing!!!!​
