Joe McBryde is now "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!

We love it when a customer takes a project of ours and the takes it up a notch by hacking in a model from their own collection.  Joe did a great job laying out this project using the Pick-Up League Baseball project, one of his own models and then adding the gold for a real pop!

"Made from Sapele. 12” tall. Ribbon on bottom from personal collection. Made on Shopbot. Gold on letters is Guilder’s paste. Made for softball player at Queens College in Charlotte, North Carolina."

 

 

"These model packages are great for increasing design and modeling skills. Had more fun creating than I did making it. Thank you."

Thank you Joe for the great comments and also sharing your work with us!  We are pretty sure you hit a homerun with this one!!! 

Thank you Joe, again,  for sharing this project with us! 

Consider yourself...  Weekend CNC Warrior Approved!

Be safe and let the chips fly!

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.

Baseball season is here!!

The snow is finally gone and the sun is shining bright, yep, it's summer time again and that means it's baseball season!! Our new sports themed mini-project has all the classic model elements to make your own custom baseball plaques or signs for the home teams!

Commemorate that special game by using any of the 6 models included in this set:

  • Baseball No.1
  • Medal Ribbon No.1
  • Sports plaque No.4 (flat surface to accept v-carving)
  • Baseball Shirt No.1 (flat surface to accept v-carving)
  • Home Plate No.1 (flat surface to accept v-carving)
  • Baseball Bat No.1

As always, all these models can be machined separately or in combinations with each other or with other mini-projects which we like to call a "hack".

Here is a great example of how you can create your own "hack" using our Oval sign from our Pub Sign No.1, the football Jersey in our Pick-Up League - Football along with models from this Pick-Up League - Baseball mini-project.  

Now that's a hack!
