Patrick Green is now "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!


When we designed the sports CNC projects it was with the thought that customers would take them and create sports awards for local sports teams.  The ability to either take the assembled layout or create their own and then customize it with players names, positions and jersey numbers made them a great value.  

Patrick Green has certainly seen the potential of the basketball and baseball projects.  He has come up with some very nice layouts and his results are tops!

The added paint to the basketball plaques sure makes that basketball pop!  It's a slam dunk!

Patrick also took the time to send us in these pictures of some baseball plaques he made.  Great layout with the home plate at the top and bottom with the bat on the sides!  Merging in that baseball jersey and then adding the jersey number is a great idea. 

 

"I use Aspire software with a CNC shark machine.  To finish it I lightly spray it with polyurethane spray so the paint doesn't bleed through, then I use paint pens to paint it then finish polyurethane with a spray. "

The results look great.  We're sure the players appreciate the plaques!  Something they will keep for years and years!


 

Thank you Patrick for sharing these projects with us!

John Mordus is now "Weekend CNC Warrior" Approved!


It is always great to hear from users that are relatively new to CNC.  John has only had his CNC for a short time but he sure knows how to make our CNC projects look good! 

"Probotix Nebula - used it a whole 2 months already.``

Looking at John`s work you'd think he had been using his machine and software for much longer then that. 

John uses Aspire V8 and used it to create these layouts and even sorted out how to cross the wrenches.  Nice touch!

"Cut from pine - 5/4 x 6 - 2 2ft lengths glued together"
"This is the tool sign I was telling you about. It's ready to Vcarve"

John hacked together 2 of our projects to create this great shop sign (Pop`s Tool Shop No.1 and Dad`s Garage No.1).  Like he mentioned it is just waiting to be customized with a shop name or saying!  


 

Thank you John for sharing these projects with us!

If you have a CNC you know there are 3 major steps in creating a great finished project:

  • Creating a good layout (we have you covered there)
  • Machining a great part (software and your machine have a big part to play in this step)
  • Finishing (this part is all you and the products you use)

Doug hacked together this great layout and took the time to put an amazing finish on it that makes it "shine"!

"I have Legacy Arty 58 Pro CNC that has a bed cutting size of 24" x 58" with a water cooled spindle. The plaque is 16" diameter
The finish is sprayed on ML Campbell Varnish/lacquer 3-coats.
The wood is Alder"

Doug used the Wine Bar No.1 project and hacked in the ribbon from the free Heart and Ribbon Getting Started project. Great work Doug... wow... that ribbon is smooth!!!!
