Smell the Sea and Feel the Sky!

This week we will release the 3rd installment of the Under the Sea themed CNC projects.   We are excited to see how those of you who have dove into the projects will hack them together and what they will use them for! 

Don Harding had sent us in some pictures of what he has done with the first 2 Under the Sea Projects.

This first piece is something Don hacked together using the Under the Sea No.1 and No.2 projects.  His VCarved quote really adds to the layout!

 "If I could Live in the Sea What would I Like to Be?" 

 

His next hack he decided to use 3 different projects.  

Models from Under the Sea No.1, No.2 and the broken tiles for the Rose Tile No.1 project!

What a great looking finished layout!

 

Don is also experimenting with small 6" x 6" tiles. 

"6x6x.75 Just playing around. Gonna practice my Coloring on this."

What a great idea!! These would also look great a small piece of wall art in a cabin by the sea!

Thanks again Don for sharing your work with us.  Keep up the hacking!

Greg Raso is at it again with another wine CNC project!

This finished project submission came if a while a go and it seemed like the perfect time to post it.  Fall is in the air and there is no better thing than sharing a glass of red wine on a cool night with a good friend.... unless... you're making one of these!!!!

"I just wanted to share my latest project. A friend requested for me to make some kind of wine bottle holder, but he wanted something different and special for his wife’s birthday. What better than the Wine Bar No.1 project to enhance a simple wine bottle holder."

"The 3D models were all done on my homemade CNC and I made a template on the CNC to use to layout the actual wine holder.  I made it completely out of cherry and finished it with a natural oil finish.
I hope you like it!"

Like it??? We are amazed and sure your friends Wife loved it!

 

"I Have to say that these models are awesome! They have added a whole new dimension to my projects.
I’m looking forward to my next one already."

Greg we are glad you like our CNC projects and we can't wait to see what you come up with next!  Cheers!

Don and his milk cans.

If you have been keeping up with our Shop Notes posts and newsletters, Don Harding is a name you have read about befor.  Don not only is a Weekend CNC Warrior but is also a fan of our projects and a huge contributor to the growing number of customer submitted hacks and finished projects we have on the Design and Make site.

One of Don's most recent submissions are pictures of his growing collection of milk can carvings.  He made these using the Milk Can No.1 from the Farm Fresh No.1 CNC project.

For the finish he used "Matte Clear Rustoleum, Black is Krylon".   They took "2 hours on the Camaster Stinger. It is
6" x 11.25" x .75 thick."

"Roughed with .5 end mill, finish bit was a Burchett Quality Tool #3TB25015. The tip is a 1/16 ball Nose I think."

"The lettering was a 90 degree Magnate 706 v-Bit. I did a Profile cut before i did any cutting with the .500 Bit to make sure I had enough wood on the sides Of the Scrap Board."

"One more piece of firewood saved."

Firewood never looked this good Don!

Thanks Don for sharing your milk cans with us!  Fantastic work as always.  Keep the chips flying over there in your shop!
