Found a 20 gallon barrel that was not being used. Needed a place to throw my used shop rags instead of on the floor. What do you think?

I found some Coke glasses at a local store and I decided to do combine my wood working and vinyl work. I used the vinyl to create a mask so that I could paint the logo. These are now in a display area of the kitchen! This was a quick fun project to do.

Here are a couple of container projects I completed. The Hershys is an old steel 2 gallon gas can and the Zombie is a small 30 gallon drum. My wife and I came up with the ideas and here is the result. I use the zombie one in my shop to hold all my soiled towels instead of throwing them on the floor.

128 = 1 gal.....in famous words of Homer Simpson....Doh! thanks for the catch. I thought I did the calculations correct. At least it's an easy change!

Wow, love the reduce/reuse/re-animate! May have to figure out how to work with that one! Thanks for sharing!

Very well done. Always a concern to do a project but makes you proud when you complete it!

As a way to say thanks for the blade help, I am enclosing one of my latest designs. I cut a few different sizes and put on the windshield of my jeep in different colors. Whole new meaning to bug splat on the windshield. Splatvwbug.SBD

Just wanted y'all to know....I LOVE YOU GUYS/GALS!!!!!! Got the cleancut blades in yesterday and was cutting things that I could not even consider before! IMHO...if USCutter would include these blades, they would get better response from newbies! I only wish I would have known about these a long time ago. Thanks again to everyone that directed me to these wonderful blades!

Yeah, that is what I am using. What would the suggested setting for the blade?

Impressive

Trying this. Watched many videos and think the blade is set correct but may be due to type of OEM blade. I was able to cut a skull last night at .2" square after many changes. Seems like there is also an issue depending on the vinyl I use. Will try all again after I get the new blade. Appreciate the responses.

I did not realize that these cutters could do this. My copam will not do this without lifting the vinyl. excited to see what the new blades will do.

OK, I ordered by clean cut blades today. Appreciate everyone's comments and looking forward in seeing how much improvement they make!

Outstanding work!

ok, y'all inspired me to try something small on my copam 2500. These little cuts kill me as it usually lifts the vinyl. I have tried everything I can think of and still have some issue.

My thoughts....same length, shorter and in a matte black.

Bob, Have you lost weight in this self portrait? LOL I love it! Great work!

Here is a little guy that seems to be making a big "Splat" around here on vehicles. Thought I would share what he looks like. I am wanting to do one of a "Smart Car". Anybody done one?

Great Work!

I have been playing around with cutting for a couple years and never knew about this forum. I learned everything the hard way! Since I found this site 3 months ago, I have learned so much and corrected many issues thanks to everyone of you sharing your experiences. I thought I would show some of my latest works and always open to constructive criticism. The bike is my wifes and should be complete by this week as I am adding a few more things that I have not told her about. The Rock Patrol is a play off the Colorado State Patrol and is my Jeep. Love driving it as people slow down when they come up to the side. Most people won't even look at me and slow down to match my speed, even if I am going less than the limit! Guess they are afraid I will give them a ticket. LOL. Many give me a thumbs up, a huge smile and then go on their way.

Thanks for that link. I had made mine from a copy of a copy. Never knew where it came from! Thanks again.

Here is a design I did for my brother. This design is now on two trucks. Took a few hours to get the measurements right but it sure makes the truck look classy!

Thanks, it took me a couple of weeks with measurements and running down to the local dealership. The red truck is the one they let me use as a test. Told them if they did not like it, I would remove it. If they liked it, they could keep it.....It is still there! I used an eps then made a few conversions to make it easier to cut and less small parts. Used chrome vinyl and "I think" it turned out great.

What do you use to do this? Would like to try etching but not sure where to start. Any direction would be appreciated.

I like it and agree with "Forever newbie" that something in color in the t-shirt would be kool. Maybe a smaller color version of the Mad Hatter character???
