Declan Otoole cutting board

cutting board 

my project is a cutting board that I engraved with a character from a TV show 


I made it by cutting out 5 different pieces of wood and then gluing them together I also used the Lazer  cutter to engrave something on it 

my favorite part is probably the engraving which was supposed to go Mutch deeper into the wood but still turned out looking pretty good  

if I did it again I might fix the engraving even though it still worked out pretty well

I might still use it as a cutting board or I might put it in my room at home

Acrylic Beverage Coasters - Design Tech Project

By

For my design tech project, I created 5 coasters and an accompanying coaster holder. Everything is made from clear acrylic, and the coasters are adorned with engravings of the Post Oak Bearkat paw.  I made the coaster using Adobe Illustrator to create the design and a laser cutter to engrave and cut out the coasters. The coasters are 3.5 inches in diameter and a quarter of an inch thick. Firstly, I created circles and found the design of the Bearkat paw. The background of the coaster is filled with topographic lines. I designed the coaster holder in pieces on Adobe Illustrator, and after cutting it out with the laser cutter, I used acrylic cement to bond the pieces together.  I like the see-through aspects of the coasters the most because it feels unique and kind of futuristic. I also really like how the coaster holder allows the coasters to stand on their sides.  The most challenging aspect of the project for me was designing and assembling the coaster holder. It took me...

Ace Coasters - Design Tech Project

Ace Coasters 🂡 I made four coasters for the four aces in a deck of playing cards. My coaster holder was a loose copy of the traditional Bicycle card box. I made both using Adobe Illustrator and a laser cutter. I designed a net for me to fold into a box and engraved patterns using the laser cutter. I made the pattern for my coaster using Adobe Illustrator and then cut and engraves the coasters also with the laser cutter. After finshing my coasters, I varnished them with varnish oil. My favorite part of my coasters is the precision in the design. Every little detail I designed shows up clearly on the coaster due to the laser cutter's ability to engrave very precisely. The toughest part was designing the perfect box. My first box had issues with the power of the engraving and the cards did not fit snuggly. The designs on my second box were not perfectly centered but finally, on my third attempt, everything was perfect! If I had to change my project, I would add a different and fancie...

Illustrator coaster designs (4) - Design Tech

apologies for the low quality graphics  What is your project? My project is a set of coasters with different engravings on each, paired with a simple looking coaster holder. I was planning to cut the coasters out on light-colored wood, like cherry wood, and the coaster holder from a darker wood, preferably walnut.  How did you make it? I started by gathering ideas and inspiration from the internet and hand-drawing potential designs. Once I had a general plan I started working with illustrator. I found images that I could put together and edit to make my design as well as creating shapes and lines in the program. I didn't get to cut out my project because I'm a student online, so the extent of my project ends here.  What do you like most about your project? I liked having the authority to make creative decisions and seeing the "final" product actually look like what I'd envisioned it to be.  What was challenging about this project? A big challenge for me was creati...
