Valentines Day 2021 <3

Post by RebeccaJ »

Hey Everyone!

I'm just reaching out to see if anyone has started any Valentines Projects or if you have something in mind to make this year for a special someone?

As we still battle on with lockdowns etc I just wanted to remind you that we have various FREE projects available to get you started from our Free Projects Page (lots of which are from Michael Tyler :) ) which could make unique gifts that would last a life time: https://www.vectric.com/vectric-community/free-projects
So no need to leave your house, other than to go to your workshop!

I look forward to seeing your Valentines projects! <3

I've been working on Michael Tyler's Bookpile. My wife is an avid reader and she loved the project.

That's awesome :) It's nice to know that there is a whole library of projects that you can make use of for different holidays without it being a typical "Valentines" project, if books is what she loves, even better! I look forward to seeing your version and I bet she will love it ☺️

I saw Michal Tyler's Tufted Heart Pen Holder Project of the Month project and wanted to try it. The only minor setback is that the project files are for Aspire...I have VCarve Pro. However, It looked like a fair copy of Michael's work could be made by using some of the models that come with VCarve Pro. I ended up using the 3D tabs, and a model from the domes and dishes files. Here's what happened:

This was fun!

Thank you for the kind comments Michael, and Beki.
VCarve really has a bunch of resources! I've started working on my version of Michael's version of the Hunter's Cabin bird house.
Here is how my Tufted Heart turned out. I'm waiting for the pen funnels to arrive.

I got tired of waiting for the pen funnels to arrive. So...Vectric solves another problem. I used 3D tabs to form the base, and a piece of .5" od. brass tubing for the funnel.

It's a combination of, industrial and romantic.
