Rust paint is backordered, so I sprayed some red oxide primer on it and "bolted" it to the wall. I'll take it down and "rust" it when I get the material.

Not really CNC related, but similar.....
I broke down and bought a vinyl cutter this month, and I'm finding it way easier to draw in Aspire and export as an EPS than to draw in the software package that came with the machine.
A benefit should be that I'm able to cut vinyl to fit whatever I cut on the MM.
I'm already thinking of the possibilities of these two working together.....

Did you buy this? http://donektools.com/
I am considering it - adds extra business opportunities for the MM

Hans I bought this holder, made a small floating head from a inkjet printer guide and added 100gr of shims on top of it

I thought about that very seriously, Hans.
In the end, this looked like a better value.
No muss, no fuss, straight to cutting vinyl, while the MM plugs away cutting wood.

Wall Gear

The wall gear is awesome. The paint job makes the foam seem real.

Cut this out of the leftover foam from the gear. I'll hang it over the 65 Mustang Fastback I've been working on even longer than the MM..
Any ides for a cool finish?

Hi, very nice cut Daren !
What about a all over glossy white lacker, then a fill with epoxy resin with translucent blue dye in the grooves ?

That would be pretty expensive. The background is routed .5" deep. and the border and letters are proud.
Great idea, though....

Owned 3 Ford's once upon a time.

How about a matt black background with gold letters and rim.

Another coat of white, and this one goes on the wall. All scrap and leftovers. Zero out of pocket.

That looks to be the 20s through 50s logo, is that correct.

Not sure about the logo years, the local Ford dealers sign looks the same as this one, and its only been in business 20 yrs or so.

Several logo's are here.. Since 1912 the Ford has had the 'e' curl on the end of the F. So it has apparently been around for a while.

Based on Petes link, I'd say he is correct. Looks like the logo that started in 1927.
I posted a pic on the Mustang group I frequent, and it was very well received.

Thanks Robert.
I picked the foam up from Menards. It is called Foamular 250.
Less than 30 bucks a sheet, just be sure to get the non scored sheet.
