So much more than just animal tracks!

Possible layout

Another Possible Layout

Nature enthusiasts this one's for you!  It's always fun to go for a nature walk and stumble across an animal track.  The feeling that you are on the path that was previously taken by a wild animal seems to be magical and exciting.

If you are a hunter this project might be what you have been waiting for to help outfit your hunting camp with a unique welcome sign, piece of furniture, or wall plaque.  Remember that bear that got into the trash and then looked up and spotted the fish you were about to cook... yeah... we thought so.  How about a plaque to keep the memory alive? or not.

Larry Breaux - Customer Focus

"The videos are in my opinion the 2nd best thing about your site, right after the projects."

Thanks Larry, and we feel the best thing about our site is the inspiration we get from customer project submissions... just like yours!

"The material is some 1” oak I had leftover from previous projects. I operate an AXYZ 5012 at my place of employment along with Aspire 4.5, typically I play with personal projects after hours here and there."

"Most of the time my regular work is strictly 2d and I don’t get the opportunity to venture into 3d work too often.  I can make short work of most tasks with the software in my normal day to day work but the 3d stuff is a little more challenging and that’s why I decided to try one of your projects. You can’t get good at chess playing checkers all the time."

"The finish is Minwax Sedona Red that I had laying around. Future projects will receive Red Mahogany per my wife’s request. Then just 2 coats of some spray bomb clear satin from Home Depot. Total machine time was about 1.5 hours with the small fleur di lis in the corners. I used a .25” end mill for the roughing, a .125” tapered ball nose for the finishing pass, and a 60° V-bit for the lettering. Font used for lettering is Century."

Larry's layout is a hack using models from the Home for the Holidays No.2 and the Dish Shapes No.2 CNC project.  This is a great example how you can take one of our holiday themed projects and make something you can use every day of the year!

"Thanks again for all the work you put into making this so user friendly and accessible."

Thanks again Larry for sharing this project with us!

Hack of the Week No.5

The great thing about our mini-projects is that you can mix and match the models or add in your own.

Our weekly mini-project hack uses models from 2 different projects! 

Mother's Day is almost here and we're sure all of you "Weekend CNC Warriors" out there have a project ready to go... right? OH... ummmm... well if not we thought this mini-project hack just might save the day! 

The mini-projects used to make this great "Mother's Day" garden sign are: 

We simulated in a bit of v-carving using the GeoSlab and Park Avenue fonts!!!  

Have fun hacking together your special Mother's Day Project!
