We thought it would be cool to let Ross (our CNC machine) have a break from the hard work and give him a chance to express his artistic self. We designed a spring loaded pen plotter for him, and……here are the results!
Ross learns to draw
Lit-up, Live-edge
Customer: Shank’s Clubhouse
Its gratifying (and a little nerve-racking) to work with high quality materials. We started this project with a gorgeous piece of live-edge cherry. Shank’s logo was routed out on our CNC machine machine, and then casted using black-dyed epoxy. After finishing the wood, we back-lit the cut-through segments with super-bright LEDs.
Rum and PLINKO!
Customer: Newport Craft Brewing and Distilling
Thomas Tew Rum is distilled in Newport, named after our very own, very infamous pirate.
This is was one of the largest graphics we’ve run on our CO2 laser to date and it the perfect opportunity to use both of our big boy CNC and Laser Cutter in tandem. We drilled and cut just about everything on the CNC and then used our laser cutter to engrave logos on the board and the chips.
We were after the natural, distressed oak barrel look and stumbled on a pretty cool technique in the process. As it turns out, I’d you get your depth settings dialed in, you can actually engrave right past the stain, revealing the original lighter surface.
Bright is beautiful!
Customer: Kwality Kiz
Up until this point in our journey, we hadn’t done too much by the way of LEDs or back-lighting but it seems obligatory when your customer is a dance studio. We are now obsessed and inspired to integrate them into our future work.
We loved Kwality’s logo, and while we wanted to design something that still looked beautiful with the lights on, we wanted to make the “K” come to life and make it’s detail stand out. Did we mention the lights play with the music?
Admittedly we are somewhat envious of the outcome and might steal some of the construction to make one for our shop, once we nail down a logo…. stay tuned.
