Word Play!

This week we have been making something a little different to normal for one of our major clients.  We constantly get new work sent through from this particular company for their displays and it's great because it always seems to be pretty creative stuff that gives us a challenge!  You may remember from one of our previous posts that the last job we did for this company was to make some CNC machined palm trees - this time we are making wooden words for them!

This week's task - CNC machining letters that make words!

We began to make the letters earlier on this week.  It took a little bit of time to get them just right to be made out of wood due to the sharp angles on the required font, but after a bit of a mess around on our software we managed to get them looking really good.  Once in situ in the company's stores they will really create a fantastic impact in regards to decoration!  When the letters are put in the correct order, the words spell out 'COOL' and 'GLAM'....

Custom made letters - how 'cool'!

....but like we said - that's when they are put into the correct order!  This morning when walking through the workshop we noticed that the letters had been used to create another word by one of our staff members - it's all good fun up here! 'LOL'!

Word play! 'LOL'!

We really love our trusty MDF cutting machine, it's always running making lots of different things and when we see the great results we get from it, it makes us proud to be in the CNC manufacturing industry!
