This week has been crazy and we did not have a lot of time to spend on our Think It Make It Challenge projects, so we discussed some other things going on around the shop. We also spend some time talking about CNC In Education and our experiences over the last 8 years working with educators.

Erick helped make some new MDF cabinet doors for his gun club using some Amana Tool MDF door cutting tools. You can see the tools here:

Raised Panel – Amana Tool RC-2485
Door Lock – Amana Tool 46155-K 1/8″ Compression Bit
Profile Cutout – Amana Tool 46179-K 3/8″ Compression Bit

The center cabinet door had a V Carve Logo in it that was painted a contrasting color. This process was done by cutting the raised panel door, sanding it and then painting it with the base color. After a couple coats of paint, Oracal masking was applied and then the panel was put back on the machine with the center as the XY zero. Then the logo was V Carved into the door. After that was done, the carved area was painted with black acrylic paint and then the masking was removed once the paint dried.
