Dragon Ball Z tags

DRAGON BALL Z! I don't know why I didn't think of make Dragon ball Z tags in the first place!

I was going to make a first ever front and back engraved DBZ tag.. but I ran out of my two hour reservation time.  Hopefully I can make it soon.

New Super man tag plus new Discovery

My mind kept hinting to me "Ya know you might be able to do a tag with multi layers instead of just a solid etch" And I figured it out!

Trouble shooting is a pain, cause each one I do wrong is one wasted.

While I was making the Superman tags. They kept coming out not perfect. When I keep the paper on, I can engrave it perfectly, but it doesn't like to cut so nicely. I thought there has to be a way to engrave it and and cut it at different times.  I got the idea to make a template to do just that! Now they all come out perfectly :)

I received a custom order to make OCP medallions out of the Quarter inch clear acrylic.

When ever I cut out my tags and what not, I always try to use the most of my sheets. Here is the damage for tonight. This sheet is expired :)

Model motor of a electric hand mixer

This is a project for my Industrial Design class. We have to find a product, then recreate it, starting with the motor. Everyone in class made theirs with materials in class. I got so used to making things at the Tech Shop, I had to go there. This might be a problem haha

I used card board cause it was readily available and the styrene was from my summer classes.

The motor in the background is the one I recreated.

Super heroes decal designs

I saw the Thin Red Line on a shirt with this symbol on it. It was all blotchy. It took a while but I remade it in photoshop.
I then made more, a Thin Blue Line, Thin Green Line and an EMS one. I am going to try to make decals and shirts with these.

First batch is done! and I made a decal for Tylar Preece. He is a Local photographer, and that is his logo.

Glowing sun and Roswell stone

The top quarter I made a year ago. the blue Taurus is actually a glow in the dark resin. I want to duplicate this look with acrylic, I have a feeling the whole piece may glow.

First I check the size of piece I want to make with cardboard. its readily available so I don't waste acrylic troubleshooting for a size.

After I cut my pieces out with the laser. I lay them on top of each other and shine a black light on them.

I cut more out. This is the famous Roswell Stone that was found in New Mexico.
The bottom one is solid black acrylic. The top one is 80% black. 

The syringe is in the photo cause that is the best way to glue acrylic together. The glue is strong enough to hold an aquarium together.

The extra black pieces are just extra pieces that weren't needed

 I poured the glow resin in and let it harden over 24 hours. I charged them up with the black light. The black light is not shining on them for the picture. They are really glowing that bright!

I don't really like how these turned out, I think the extra acrylic on the back looks weird. I think I'm going to leave the back off and just pour the resin in like I did with the quarter at the top of this post.

Acrylic glow signs

My friend needed to make signs for her Haunted House. I said let me make your signs out of neon acrylic. They will glow with all your black lights. She told me what they needed to say, I went the extra mile to make them into scary shapes.

These were my computer drawings.

The laser cut them out. It took over an hour to cut out these 4.

I just pulled off all the paper and revealed this. It looks fabulous near the black light. Neon acrylic captures the light like crazy!

How the signs will look when they are up on the walls.

I later made these two

Super hero oversized tags

so far these are the heroes I was able to come up with. Quarter Inch clear acrylic.
