Hack of the Week No.50 - On a Monday?

We wanted to get your and our week started off on the right foot so we thought the Hack of the Week should be moved to Monday.  Seems logical right??

Coffee, coffee, coffee... oh how we love coffee!

This retro "Coffee Shop Sign" was
 created using models from these projects:

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

Retro snowflake thingy was created using the drawing tools in VCarve Pro.  If you would like to download it click the link below.

Note - This hack was assembled in VCarve Pro V8 with the text simulated in Aspire v8!!!!  Could have been done in VCarve Desktop or Aspire!!!  So many options.

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!

Coffee and CNC'ing... a perfect combination!

Flipping through the stack of project pages on our desk we discovered that we have missed a very important mini-project theme.  No it's not golf, fishing or car-racing (although those are pretty good ideas) but... COFFEE!  Yeah... how did we miss that one!  It's not like there isn't a steamy cup of "joe" sitting right beside the stack or... or... a coffee cup stain in our logo.  Wow.

 

Introducing the
Coffee Shop No.1
mini-project!

We can't imagine not having a coffee themed mini-project knowing that it is an important CNC safety precaution to always have coffee on hand before starting up your machine (read the fine print in the manual... it's there someplace... really).

 

This mini-project has 5 models included in it that we're pretty sure you all can use at sometime or another.

We all have a family member that is a bit of a coffee nut, a local coffee shop that is in need of some new wall art or a new sign. Not to mention the growing independent small roasters out there that sure could use the help of some great visual marketing pieces, customized with their logo! 

Lets not let that hot cup of coffee you just poured go to waste... grab this mini-project now and get some ideas brewing!

Hack this mini-project!

The "Coffee Shop Sign" was made using the models from 2 mini-projects:

The font used to simulate the v-carving is called Gentium Basic.

WOW... that's a hack!

Be safe and let the chips fly!
