A MOST USEFUL PIECE OF ART

A friend was turning 40. Some guys were going to get custom t-shirts made to mark the occasion, which can get spendy. I thought we could combine several use cases:

  • Make a memento each guest could hang on their wall.

  • Which is also a paint stencil for a shirt.

  • Which we could shoot all to pieces with guns guns guns.

  • Which you could then hang on your wall to show everyone how wild as hail you are what with all those gun bullets.

And it was both a play on words of the guy’s last name, AND a reminder of where you end up if the gun play goes sideways.

Vinyl Decals, just for funsies.

I've been using my vinyl cutter for some actual work, such as sandblasting masks, but I also spent some time messing around making decals for my kid's school folder and my truck...and pretty much everything else you can stick a decal onto!

Surprisingly Effective.

I really love the way that 14g steel looks after the outer oxide layer is removed.

NuVinci "Rider" Door Knob Bash Guard

There was a hole in the wall where someone opened the conference room door with great vengeance and furious anger...and the company didn’t want to fix the hole.  So I did.  Mesquite carving w/ plexi cover plate.

Ranch Sign

This was actually one of my very first signs.  I've seen it years later, and it still looks great.

Simple Sparrow Farm Sign

Customer-provided art (which I loved, clean, simple...looked great), turned into steel, then powder coated.

PrecisionBee Sign!

Finally got around to making a small sign for inside the shop.  Multi-layered, with colors and everything.  Me likey.

Wooden Gears

Don’t look away while you're spinning these, it turns into a finger masher pretty quickly.  If there were more demand for finger mashers, I'd be RICH.

Random Letters

Meah, letters.  Not terribly exciting eh?

Twisted Oval Vase

This was actually pretty easy to make, just took a LOT of sanding.  I think it came out great.  It holds a pint glass which holds the flowers.  Or you could have the best beer mug at the party.

Thread Holders

These were made from a hackberry tree from customer’s property.  Very cool wood, grain looked like feathers.

Oooh, fancy metal stars...

This is the WHOLE reason I got a CNC plasma cutter...to make stars.

Naw, I got it to make go karts and race cars and other awesomer stuff…
