Vectors Inspired has been busy making 60 in 1 arcade games for over the past year. These arcade cabinets have been popular lately with all age groups and they are fun projects to make. There are 60 games preprogramed on the boards with classics like Galaga, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Centepede, Ms. Packman, Space Invaders , Frogger, Galaxian and Dig Dug, just to mention a few. This is a great gift for the whole family!

I just delivered this beautiful live edge outdoor sign! The wood was acquired from some friends who cut some live edge dark walnut and had no use for the outer edges. I painfully milled the outer radius off on my CNC and then finished it on my brother-in-laws 15" planer and drum sander. The design was created by the customers and imported in to V-Carve. Paint was airbrushed and 3 coats of water based out door clear was applied. We hung it using chains, which was a good learning opportunity. Very happy with this one.

Vectors Inspired is now making custom 7 day pill boxes. This is a neat project inspired by a co-worker. The boxes are just over 5" in diameter and about 1 1/8" high. They have seven compartments for the pills and the lid is held on with earth magnets. The lid can be turned and it "snaps" to the next day because of the position of the earth magnets. Each compartment has the day labeled to keep you on track. This one is made out of Butternut wood and finished with a food grade cutting board oil.

This sign has been a popular one. I made 2 for a lady a few years back, then made 8 of them for family Christmas gifts, a couple one offs for other customers and now a birthday present for our niece who turned 30 and built a house. It is made out of 1 x 12 pine barn board, painted black, carved and sealed with an outdoor water based clear coat. The ends have a feature carved into them we shall call "SWE" that stands for "simulated weathered ends" 😜. It is double sided so depending on the season, it can be flipped as needed.

Vectors Inspired has been busy! Lost of stuff on the go that I might post later but I wanted to show this neat game I made for my Mother and Father in Law. Dice ball! Pretty simple game, roll the dice and do what it says on the board. It goes a lot quicker than a real game of baseball and winning all depends on the roll of the dice. Carved out of MDF, painted and sealed. I even put a storage pocket in the back to store the dice and the cribbage pegs. Fun project!

Vectors Inspired now has Photo V-Carve!

I just updated my Vectric Vcarve Desktop Software last week to Version 10. The upgrade included a feature called Photo V-Carve so I have been playing around and learning it. I started with a picture of our cat Molly and then tried one of my daughter's dog Milla. Both turned out pretty good. Have a look for your self!

This was a neat project! My son's girlfriend asked me if I could make her a bath tray. What's a bath tray? After a couple of Google searches I knew; it's a tray to go over your bath tub to hold stuff while you soak. Just what the name implies, a bath tray. This one is made out of pine and has a slot for a tablet or a phone, some recesses for candles, coffee cup, wine glass etc. and the heart could be used to set your rings while you relax. Golden oak stain and 3 coats of outdoor varathane on both sides.

Hello Everyone! It has been quite some time since I have posted, but trust me, Vectors Inspired has been busy. Shortly after Christmas I was challenged to make two large "scrabble art" wall hangings for a family. Combined, there was 143 letter tiles, which was a large project for me. Each tile measured 2 3/4" square and they are scaled to an actual scrabble tile, including the score value.

The first one has the grandmother's name, some of her qualities and each of the grand children's names. It used 73 tiles and after it was assembled was 55" wide X 30" tall.

The second one has all of her children with the spouses names inset in the tiles that contain their names. It used 70 tiles and measured 52" X 30".

We used different colours to create a theme in both of the projects.Have a look at the pictures!

These carvings were made for our family Christmas gifts this year; a personal sign for each of them to display in their homes. Some of the pictures were before the stain and finish was applied so that's why they look whiter. They are carved in 1 X 6 select pine, stained with golden oak and then a high gloss clear coat is applied. I think creating the collage has reduced the quality of the picture so accept my apologies for the poor image quality, they do look better than the picture!

Hello all! Vectors Inspired has been very busy with not much time to post lately. Here is a collection of barn board signs that I have made over the last few months. A couple of different techniques shown here. The "Pocket Cut" is most popular with big bold letters but some of the "V-Carved" projects turned out very well. Barn board is hard to come by at times. If anyone has a source let me know. I also have people bring their own board which makes it easier for me and helps to keep the cost down.
