Space Force

[jamieline]

Does anyone have or know where I can get a pattern for the Space Force?
I have the book US Military Designs and have completed the 5 plaques but need this one.
Thanks

I just Goggled Space Force Logo and got more than dozen different sources & items to choose from.

Initially, I was thinking pretty well impossible without floating the element, but check this out: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1200589649/space-force-metal-art-sign-military-sign?click_key=30b0054c7ac246f6d4a736212655d6b25a0 eeef3%3A1200589649&click_sum=bf9efb4a&ref=shop_hom e_recs_1

Looks good. Going to take some precise cutting, should be interesting. Remember to bridge that middle circle. I would definitely start in the center and work out on this one, and do the tricky stuff first so I wouldn't waste a lot of time if I had to scrap it.

Very narrow lines are tricky for me, as any veering is very noticeable. The other challenge with narrow lines is they might not contrast enough to stand out, depending on the color of the material you are cutting.

Here's the center cut. First piece using Birch plywood had small sections that peeled. This is a piece of Luan plywood.

Nice job. What is the outside diameter?

[jamieline]

It is 18" diameter.

Very good job cutting that. I was afraid the small lines might not contrast enough, but it looks great.

Everything is cut and being finished. Should be able to post a picture tomorrow.

Goodness, that turned out great! The Blue background was a very good choice.
