Hack of the Week No.102 and the Maker Faire

Perfect customizable CNC project hack for the door to your own personal or  local Makerspace. 

This "Beware Maker Inside!" shop sign was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Palatino Linotype

Like to tinker in the shop or make the occasional electronics project?  Maybe you like to combine your love of old school woodworking with the technology of a CNC or dream of the possibilities of adding lights and movement to your projects.  We are pretty sure that makes you a maker and you just might be going to the 2016 Bay Area Maker Faire.  

Vectric is a proud Blacksmith sponsor!

Vectric is a proud Blacksmith sponsor!

If that's the case keep your eyes peeled for the Vectric booth cause Design and Make will be there!  Make sure you stop in and say "Hi!"

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

Yep you heard right, Vectric and Design and Make will be a the Bay Area Maker Faire.  If you use Vectric software or Design And Make CNC Projects to help you "make",  just interested in what they are all about or have a question for the team you should stop by.  You just never know what new things they might be showing off or demoing that just might help make your "maker" dreams come true!  

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!

Cartouches and flourishes for your next project!

Possible Layout

The cartouche in this project would be the perfect place to start if you were looking to add an interesting bit of design to a headboard, piece of furniture, elegant looking house number plaque or as a powerful starting point to build a coat of arms around. Not to mention that the 2 shields in this project, with a bit of added VCarving, would make for a nice memorial plaque or monogrammed accent to the top of a keepsake box. The individual elements can also easily be repeated and overlapped to create decoration for carved molding or frames.
