    Made my 1st desktop 3 WW mouse pad at work today Tecate hardware 3 wheeling mags pics

    Well almost all of the students are gone and I had a full day to do some things I have wanted to do for a while. I have been making desk top mouse pads out of 3 ply chip board for the last couple of years.I am still using my 1st one that is about 3 years old so they hold up well. For the longest time I have wanted to do a 3WW mouse pad so I dug real deep into my computer and found the logo. I brought it to work and set it all up in Auto Cad and ran it on the laser cutter as a raster job. 1 Pixel at a time. It took about an hour and a half and for a first run I think it came out pretty good. Heres a picture of it before I clean my desk up an lay it down. Gonna try some different settings tomorrow to see if I can do better. I also designed a 84-85 Tecate Air Box lid today for the vacumn former. Its half way there its complete in 2d but I need to convert it to 3d and run a form in the mill and then vacumn form it. Im going after the old school UFO style. Also got a pic of the hardware I bought for the Tecate today.Also a pic of 1984 collection of 3 wheeling magazine I found on C.L. Need to get pictures of the 85 Collection they are in real good shape. Not bad for a free deal that I made happen faster by throwing a $20 bill his way. Also have some 86 mags.Click image for larger version.

    Sweet! And great score on the mags!
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    I just like the 3ww logo so cool there nothing super special but the mouse pad does last for a long time. I just threw up the logo and etched it. I have other design patterns for around the edge and a Dragon in the center. I should be able to do any picture like the 3ww logo. A raster image and lower detail works easy. Other than that I have to draw or trace a picture which is time consuming. Next up is etching Anodized Aluminium. Made a cool business card from that with my previous mouse pad design with the dragon. Came out reall cool looking. Now some professors and other people want me to make them a card. LoL I guess there is a phone app that lets you take a pic of a business card and it stores it in your phone like a business card or whatever. Im not into cell phones so I have no clue. I can probably make some if someone wants one or design one maybe. Only problem is that I need to do it during the slow times at school, which are at the beginning and very end of the semesters.
