Hack of the Week No.74


With the release of the new Thanksgiving No.1 CNC Project we thought it might be nice use it in this week's Hack of the Week!  This hack uses the candle holder from the Home for the Holidays No.2 project and the holder has been sized to accept a standard 1" tapered candle (info on how to do that is on the Home for the Holidays No.2 project page).  The overall size of this hack is just under 5.75" across.

This "Thanksgiving" candle holder was created using models from these CNC projects:

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

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


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!


Be safe and let the chips fly!
